GREECE, ON EASTER

Selo have grown from Palm Sunday twigs
planted by scions of the Romanons a generation
ago. The Easter salutatiOn is a picturesque
survival OF apostolic customs. Friends and
neighbors and even strangers who happen to
meet the street say:
Christ is risen,"
He is risen indeed" is the answer, and then
the two persons. although bearded men, en-
brace and kiss each other.
Such idyllic observances are varied with
ant-JeWish riots and massacres. The so-called
Black Hundreds take the view that Easter is a
good time to avenge the crucifixion Of two
thousand years ago, and political nstigation
plays its part. The telegraph wires will tell
just how this Easter is celebrated in Russia
There are fears of an outbreak.

PROMINENT PHYSICIANS
Endorse Our Cod Liver Preparation
vinot

Many of the most eminent physicians
are now prescribing Vinol as the most
satisfactory cod liver preparation. Thus
it is fast superseding other forms of cod
liver oil and emulsions.
w. N. Rand, NJ. D., of Evans Mills, n.
Y, writes: "From personal experience, /
am able to appreciate the value Of your
cod liver preparation, Vinol. / have
used it and prescribed it largely during
the past eighteen months, and 1 want to
say that Vinol is all you claim for it and
more.n
DR.. Bonchelle of Townsville, Ga, a
physician well known in the South,
writes: 81 use Vinol in my family and
in my general practice with most excel
lent results for bronchial and pulmonary
troubles and to create strength"
Another physician writes: 81 am salts
fed that Vinol derives its wonderful life
giving and strengthening power from
the medicinal curative elements found in
the Gods liver. 1t is the most satisfac-
tory strength creator and yitalizer for old
people, weak women and delicate chill
dren which it has ever been my pleasure
to prescribe"
The reason that Vinol has such remark
able curative and strength-creating power
is because it is made by a scientific, ex-
tractive and concentrating process from
fresh Gods ivers, combining with pep
tomato of iron (which is a needful con-
stituent for the bloody all the medicinal,

Tine Vanderbilt Cup"

A run of eight months at the Broadway
theatre, New York, and of three months
at the Colonial in Chicago is the record Of
the new musical comedy, ssThe Wander
bilt Cup" which comes tomorrow, Fri
day, April "a, with the same lavishness
of detail that distinguished its metropoli-
tan run.
The big cast of sixty is said to contain
nearly all OF the original principals, aug
mented by crowd of famous Broadway
beauties arrayed in the very latest styles
of motor apparel.
The musical numbers promise to be I'M
usually catchy and include my Little
Chauffeur" my Household Beau, ssThe
Light That Lies in Girlsh Eyes," and
Somewhere in the World"
The story is an up-to-the-minute por-
trayal of life among the smart automobile
set and hinges upon the great Vanderbilt
cup race, which is run at Mineola, Long
Island, every year by motorists from all
over the world. The dialogue is said TO
be delightfully."- clever, and much satire is
INDUCED in at the expense of those auto
enthusiasts who rush about the continent
IN their costly touring cars. Barney Old
fields great idea, the real motor race on
the stage, is a big feature of the piece.
Two 90-horsepower racing machines, run
ming at high speed, crash on the stage,
amid all the roar, dust and excitement OF
real race, and it is said, audiences fairly
get out of the chairs to see the finish.

Gsstes q the Churches.
Cut flowers decked the altar in ST.
Johns church for Easter day and Morn
ing Prayer was followed by celebration
of the Holy Communion. An eloquent
sermon was preached from the text, "l
know that my Redeemer liveth," and Z
reasonable belief in the resurrection Of
the body was shown from the inspired
utterance Of the prophet Job, Sand
though after my skin worms destroy THU
body, yet in my flesh shall see God
Whom shall see for myself, and mine
eyes shall behold, and not another"
At the Roman Catholic church, Mass
at 1880 in the morning was preceded by
the Holy Eucharist. Rosew ig's Mass in
F was sung by q chorus choir of ten
voices, assisted by Mrs. Z. j. O'Brieu
of West Somerville, Mass, whose solo,
"Hosanns," by Jules GARNER, was a
rare delight. Her pure sweet soprano,
smooth and flexible as the notes of q
bird, led the choir and rose triumphant
~ in the glad Hosanna of Easter day.
Miss May Dumas was the organist, and,
though.a young musician who has had
but little training, played remarkably

an excellent sermon on the subject OF
s'The Resurrection" was preached by the
pastor, Rev. w. S. Bradshaw.
Bethany church was effectively decor
ated with palms and ferns arranged
about the pulpit platform and against
their green rested mass of Easter
lilies. The morning service was of a
choral nature, and in the cantata, ssDeath
and Life" 16 voices chanted the tragic
story of the crucifixion and then burst
into the joyous alleluias OF the resurrec-
ton. The soloists were Misses Blanche
Sparhawk and Gail Lamson, A. III. Bee
die, Edwin Martin and John Lamson, and
the last named also sang an "Easter
Song" The sermon by the pastor, Rev.
Fraser Metzger, was on the text, "why
seek We the living among the dead ?'' and
dealt with the continuity of life revealed
to the world by risen Christ. 1t brought
out the scant conception of the Jews re-
garding future state of existence, de-
spite the always universal yearning of
mankind for immortality. and how little
is to be found in the Old Testament writ
ings of prophecy or hope of life-to-
come. This service had a congregation of
261.

Mr.. Hamilton has selected Randolph as
his future place of residence and will take

house on South Pleasant street that be

that place, .'and his parishione-s sincere

citizens of the community, and their de-
parture is matter Of regret to the citi

Mabel, is teacher of elocution in Montpel-
Ter seminary, and three sons have homes
of their own.

In the great fire that swept one-third of

The Colonel said that average ships
