after the smoke cleared away The in
terror and the elegant plate glass front
of the building was also on the list
of the property DESTROYED.
Taylor's insurance is $4,000 and it
is estimated that this amount will not

stationed not far from the barrel.
He turned the faucet into the measure

Mr.. TAYLOR sprang to the faucet and
shut it off and fled from the basemen

Mr.. Taylor's explanation of the fire
is that. in pulling the large can

ST. johns CHURCH.

the strife is Ger, the battle done;
The victory of life is wou,
Allelnir.'
Out from darkness into light; from
the sadness OF Gethsemane and Calvary
into the joys of Easter; away from
thoughts of suffering to hymns of
victory; from the dark tragedy of Good
Friday to the empty tomb-such is the
great transition to-day in Christian
thought, voiced in anthems and flowers,
in carols and hymns, and emphasized in
the message of Joy proclaimed from
christian pulpts. The news that en-
circles the globe to day, and visits each
hamlet and village and city, and makes
hearts beat the quicker for joy is the
announcement made TO the disciples of
old and repeated throught all the Chris
tiau centuries.
"The Lord is risen.indeed."
How strong a hold the resurrec tion
has gained upon the hearts of men. AS
the centuries multiply. the thought
grows stronger and stronger. The
world itself keeps Easter day. Men
and women are studying the fact from
every point of view Sentiment has
laid hol of it. Reason has grasped the
idea, the man of science finds the laws
of resurrection capable of demonstration.
The spiritual ruth beneath the fact
itself far outweighs the seeming
physical difficulties.
! And who can find words TO tell the
comfort which this thought gives to
those who grieve over the loss of loved
ones gone before us. Who can express
in language the hopes with which it
cheers and inspires the heart of one
called to suffering and pain.
There is power i'll this central power
of Christian history. There is insJira-
tion in this keystone in the arch of
Christian truth.
Let us rejoice. then, as we look this
day into the empty sepulchre. Let us
weave the truth and the fact into our
lives. Let II give courage to the
strugglers, hope to the discouraged ones,
comfort TO the mourners, joy in every
heart because Christ has brought life
and immortality to light in His Gospel.
"On the resurrection morning
Soul and body meet again,
No more sorrow, no more weeping,
No more pain.
Here awhile they must be parted,
And the flesh its sabbath keep;
Waiting in holy stiffness.
Wrapt in sleep
For space the tired body
Lies with feet toward the dawn;
Till there breaks the last and brigh-
est
Easter morn.
But the soul in contemplation,
Utters earnest prayer and strong
Breaking at the resurrection
Into song.
Soul and body reunited,
Thenceforth nothing shall divide
Waking up in Christ's own likeness
Satisfied.
