DR.. Spooner's Address.
Rev. DR.. A. W. Spooner. pastor of the
Sixth Presbyterian Church, took advan-
tage of the occasion furnished by the re-
cent unveiling Of the Longfellow statue
to preach a sermon Sunday morning on
THE Gospel in the Psalm of Life. If
il be true he said. by way of introduc-
tion, that there are sermons in stones.
books. in the running brooks and good
in everything, then surely We are war
ranted in pressing our ear close up to
the statue just unveiled in our city In
honor of the immortal Longfellow. and
listen to the sermon which it must de-
liver.
The Psalm of Life has seemed to me
for many years to stand related to
LongfelloW, much as the Twenty-third
Psalm did to the sacred bard. l am we'll
aware that this view may be challenged;
but to me. 1T is the prince of all MS
poems. What a. range It sweeps over.
How full of the gospel it Is. and this is
what gives it to me its supreme charm.
Its opening words. Tell me not in
mournful numbers Is a ringing rebuke
to the pessimist. I can hear him saying,
while penning these lines:
Life Is but an empty dream.
Then I reply, IL is because things are bet
ter than they seem.
.Longfellow was an undoubted believer
in immortality. 1t sings in every stanza
OF this deathess poem:
Dust thou art, 10 dust returnest,
Was not spoken Of the soul.
THE body Is dust and will return to its
native element, but the soul Is not dust
and can never become such.
THE gospel Of progression rings clearly
In these inspiring lines: Tomorrow ought,
must find US farther along and higher up
than today leaves u.s.
And then this as the climax OF 1t all:
The sublime life is the life spent for
others. The selfish life is the vulture life,
but he who lives for the good that he can
do. for the help that he can render 9TH
ers not only now. but in the coming years
when naught will be left behind. but his
''footprints"-this man lives. conauers
and wins the approval both of God ana OF
man."

NOVELTIES ARE MANY.
Dainty Creations in Easter Remem-
brance Cards are the Center of
Interest.

Many novelties are shown in East
e. remembrance cards which within
the last few days have become the
center of interest in the city's shops.
A peculiar personal note is the most
striking feature of these cards and is
the orgrowth of the popularity
which similar sentiments received
during the Christmas holidays. The
cd Happy Easter" cards have been
replaced and an innovation mas been
made in remembrance cards that car
ries them almost into the fine ants
class
The cards shown this year are
marked by simplicity. Such senti-
ments as Vandyke's, Il am thinking
of you because today is Easter; /
shall think of you tomorrow because
it is the day after Easter" form the
keynote of the new cards. The de-
mand is heavy, particularly for hand
Illuminated cards suitable for franz
ing. In these as we'll as the staple
cards there is a personal touch, in
many cases original with the sender.
One enterprising firm is displaying
novelty that was originated by one
of its artists. The cards are simple
white ones with small colored view
in the center and bearing a cross in
scribed 'He is risen" The pictures
are gems of art and are arranged for
framing after Easter season.
As is customary there is a demand
for Easter eggs Some of the novel
ties in this line are collapsible like
Christmas bells. Others are egg
shaped cards bearing Easter greet
ings. 1t is said that the demand for
Easter cards rivals that of Christmas.
