Resurgo.
REV. THOMAS PEARL BRIGo

O glorious fact, We stand amazed, To know our bodies can be raised From the dark grave, in strength and
 power,
 In Gods great resurrection hour. In vain the skeptic with his sneers Would fill us with his groundless
 fears. He who spoke and the world stood fast Can raise our bodies al the last. grain of wheat always decays Before il germs for future days, Gan rise, and give;us what is good, A harvest rich, for daily food. Then let us face the coming days With hope and joy and heartfelt
 praise Though we must die, we'll live again, Through Christ. and with Him ever
 reign.

Local government did not exist in Ireland for the majority of the people down to the passage of the Municipal Reform Act, in is4o. Between the reign of Charles II. and the Act Of Union there were one hundred and twelve muRiei paliiies in Ireland. The majority of them were deprived of Par hmentary representation by the Act of nion, but retained their municipal rights. They were controlled by the landed gentry, and were eenters of cor ruption and scsndalous administra- tion. Between The Union and lSS5, thirty of them became extinct. The Catholics were practically excluded from them.
 The Act iof Is40 was an set of dis franchisement. IL made the corpora tions elective, but il raised the fran chise 10 Sso rating. One effect Of il was 10 make Daniel o'Conneli Lord Mayor of Dublin. But even that Act was robbed Of it's grace by the retention of the nomination of the sherifis in the hands of the crown.
 Under the grand jury system the landlords controlled the administra- ton of ihe counties, Catholics being carefully excluded by the sheriifs who had the neminaton of these hosiie> By means ef ex-of'ieio memhcrs and 2 fes strieied franchise, the Ascending Party, esntfoiied the Boards Of Guardians.

Air Navigation Realized.

It has lived to see in this forty years of growth and life, the air conquered and aviation an established fact. It has lived to record the flight by airship from Albany to New York, and again from New York to Philadelphia.
 It has lived to record that hitherto unbelievable feat of crossing the Eng lish channel and return in ship of the air. It has lived to record the establish ment of the first known record of trans mission of letters over 86 miles of dis tance, as the crow flies, by the first aerial mail service instituted by man, and be- lieves that day not far distant when the aerial mail service will become an estab- lished feature of the world s progress.

WHAT THOSE YEARS HAVE WITNESSED IN
 NEWSPAPER PROGRESS. >
And Some of the Changes Time Has
 Wrought0in Canaan's History.
By William H. Spear.

THE NEWS is forty years old to-day It doesn't seem great lapse of time to look back upon, but what a world of achievement has been crowded into those forty years. THE NEWS was established and had been in existence six years be- fore the telephone was thought of by the world at large as means of communl- cation. In fact it was not until March IA, 1876, that Prof Gray filed his caveat at the patent office in Washington, D. O., and Prof Bell filed his on the same day, which later grew into the invention and perfection of one of the most important factors of modern business and social life-the telephone. How the world has been drawn closer by it's use, ahd space annihilated.
 Improvement in TeIegraphY
 True, we had the telegraph, but what a wealth of improvement the past forty years has witnessed in that. It has practically revolutionized the art, for to-day, the equipment that satisfied the operators and management when THE NEWS was born, has become we'll nigh obsolete, and has been supplanted by more modern and up-todate methods of transmission.

FOTTR DECADES OF
 WEEKLY JOURNALISM

It has seen mighty development in the postal service, and in all methods of thought communication. It has seen the old sailing craft grow obsolete and the establishment of palatial vessels on the waters of the deep. It has witnessed the birth of the motor boat and seen it be- come practical factor in the navigation of today.
 Electricity Harnessed
 It has seen electricity introduced into business and industrial life, until the whirr of machinery owes its impetus to that still mysterious electric power, which no man hath seen and none may truly define, yet which has behind it force of such mighty and potent energy that man stands amazed at the wonders of it's might.
 THE NEWS has seen the passing of kerosene and the substitution of gas, and the mighty electric current rival it as an Illuminating power.
 The New Architectural Dawn.
 THE NEWS has seen within this short space of forty years the incoming of cement in form of concrete blocks. which have made possible the cement, or con- crete house. It has seen the bicycle rise and wane, and the motorcycle become a common thing.
 All these, and many more, THE NEWS has witnessed in the passage of these trief forty years. How much of thought, life, power and activity has been crowd ed into that short period of the worlds history. What wealth of achievement; what wonders; what possibilities those forty years of life have wrought. If there is crowded into the next four decades as much of progress, the won ders of to-day will indeed prove the commonplace of tomorrow.

The Wireless Telegraph

Wireless telegraphy has dawned upon the world, and has been so perfected, that far out upon the wide, heaving bosom of the Atlantic or Pacific, communication is readily exchanged between land and vessels hundreds of miles apart.
 What help it has been. Already it has demonstrated it's practicability by averting disasters at sea, and in saving lives which otherwise would have gone down, as have countless thousands in days gone by, beneath the waters of old ocean, and their fate remain to the world unknown.
 And yet this mighty force is only in its infancy; i; but it has united the world as never before, and into the mind of man has impressed the fact of grander possibilities yet to come.
 Its Practical Service
 Forty years ago, had you told your friends that the world would yet produce a wizard who should make it possible for vessels to communicate over hundreds of miles of water, out of sight of land. and in moment of distress, be able to summons assistance, 50 that vessels from several sections, sailing over those waters miles and miles apart, should hear that call of distress, and, hearing, should un- derstand, they would have laughed at you, and have called you candidate for some insane retreat. Yet it has come, and THE NEWS has lived to realize and record the truth.
