Easter Sermons.

DR.. Emil G. Hirsch credited the
story on the resurrection of Christ to
the Unborn desire in man for life af-
ter death. in sermon on The Reser-
rection" at Sinai Temple.
1.-THE story of the resurrection was
told by the peoples of various nations
long before Christ lived on earth" he
said 1T was told long before the gos-
pei was written, and tho with each ma
ton the incidents differed the thought
was the same.
THE story is. to my mind, an adap-
tation of universal philosophy. For
at all times, in all nations and in all
places men have thought of and have
believed in immortality. They have
personified this thought in the myths
they have constructed telling of the
rise of their own particular god from
the grave after an awful death.
"Ratioralists have attempted to ex-
plain il otherwise, but they have sig
nally failed. They have shrugged their
shoulders and laughed it to scorn as a
physical possibility. and then said that
it was probable that the crucffied one
was taken to the tomb in state OF
coma and when recovered left of his
own accord.

THE BIRD OF FREEDOM.
TOelWein Register

Sam Ford knows more about eagles
than he did and SO does another
gentleman of color who was assisting
him in a surgical operation on the bird.
Sam concluded that an eagle-the en-
blem of proud nation-would be a
fine attraction for his shoe shining
parlors and purchased one that had
been caught in trap. The bird had
a toe nail badly DANA ged in the fracas,
and Sam concluded that it would be
wise TO perform an operation and re-
move the nail. Accordingly Sam called
in friend. after they had. given the
eagle food in plenty they began oper-
atoms. Just how it happened is not
known. but the bystanders soon heard
some unearthly yells from the two
parties. Fob de Lawd's sake hep me
leggo de bird" yelled one of them. And
then one of them screamed: He am
clawing de hand off'n me. sabe me-.
There We're other sounds of revelry.
and when the boys reached the two
colored gentlemen it was 10 find them
torn and bleeding at the hands or
rather claws of the bird of freedom. A
physician was called to dress the
wounds of one of them. But they am
putated the claw.

THE PASSING OF THE WORD,

| A book called The Passing Of the
! Word" by Helen Human Henshaw, is
issued from the Torch Press of Cedar
Rapids. A pathetic and interesting
touch is added TO il by the foreword,
in part as follows: "A worker paused
/ one day at the close of its quick sped
hours, TO step with triumph over the
threshold and into the Beyond. Yet
before she went, she had found time
amid the stress of burdened days TO
throw into living colors picture un
retouched-The Passing of the Word.
\ few Of those who loved this toiler
have sat before the picture and sacredly
blended here and there shade, or sup
pressed an insignificant detail, or mod
fled a tone in such "a way as il was

done. In such form they give it to

tains besides. an earnest message
which grows into a revelation of the

everyday life. without in the least de-
scending TO the plane of the so-called
"goody- goody" class. The heroine.

of the reader. With the tender fore

that in Miss Holman are unconsciously

LOUIS MANN.-.AN ANT,DOTE.

iowa thea1er goers are al present en-
Toying the presentation of The Man
Who Stood Still" with Louis Mann in
the title role. Mr.. Mann is a great
actor, one of THE greatest actors of the
American stage. His work is de-
Digit He is the man who stood still
He has that power and art which makes
the mimic man live and exist. There
IS no question in the minds of his
audiences. For two hours Kraus, the
man. 1t is more transformation than
acting
THE Man Who Stood Still is an
antidote to the Blue Mouse and other
plays which have assisted to create a
generic classification as the indecent
stage" Like all effective antidotes it
as elemental and simple. 1t is just
everyday life. Centrally it is an old
matchmaker, who stands still While
younger men with newer methods and
wider ambition hurry past him to what
has become the Twentieth century
standard of success, a simple and stub
born and loving old Switzer keeping to
the customs of his ancient time and
his native country; his daughter, who
loves well but not wisely, a simple and
innocent girl, who deceives her father
and wins the sorrow and deep shame
which is the crown of successful de-
ceit; incidentally also it is a study and
analysis of the evolution of the inmi-
grant into the American in the second
generation. But it is everyday life the
simple bald comedy and tragedy on
which the curtain of life never falls
which shifts stage settings and changes
dramatis personae but never motif j,
is realism, actual realism, the things
which exist in the sunshine and be-
meath the clouds of day, not the false
and painted marionettes which pir-
rro1ettte without shame in the rec
lighted blind alleys Of indecency
Neither the play nor Mr.. Mann neet
the assistance of salacity to draw and
hold the attention and applause o.
IOWA theater audiences.

Raw III O. hof.tead.

A belief in life after death and the
observation of religious rites and cere-
monies founded upon such belief may
be discovered in any part of the world,
and among any people, above the stage
OF ba-barism. This belief asserts it
! self in different forms. One is that OF
extinction, another transcription into
the great universal spirit, when the
many will be merged into the whole,
losing individual consciousness. But
these do not satisfy. The Immortality
| for which we plead is that personal
! individual immortality with the reten-
ton of those faculties by which we
know and are known, by which We
loved and are loved. Christianity as
if by leaps and bounds goes much
higher than any other source, and Of
fers US this satisfying potion. Shall not
the old be cheered as they journey
toward the grave? Shall not these ye.
| in tender years find stimulus in the be-
lief that the life here is only a small
part OF the life to come. Each moral
act finds its setting not in three-score
years and ten of space, but is a factor
around which is evolved a character
destined to live thru all eternity, upon
whose day there shall be no setting
sun. This calls for the choicest granite
of lofty thinking and the purest marble
of white integrity.

LINOTYPE MACHINES.

IL
When the present editor of the Pr
oneer was a student in the University
OF Iowa in 1892 we went home 10 Des
Moines one Sunday and found father
much interested in an article he mad
seen in the Inland Printer. telling of
the inventions of Otto Nergenthaler
and his hope of making a machine that
would take the place of setting type
by hand. Father told US boys that he
never expected 10 live TO see 81 type
setting machine that would work in a
satisfactory and economical manner
but that he thought such machine
would come within the life of the pres
ent generation.
Six years later there was battery
of FIVE machines in the Register office,
and father lived 10 see them in use in
all the great dailies in the land. Still
more wonderful to US is the fact that
we now have such a machine in sue
cessful operation in our country news
paper office and that scores of other
country weeklies are using them. We
are very proud of our linotype machine
but would be prouder still if the good
father who has gone on to the prom
ised land could have lived to have seen
1t in our shop.

THE SCIENCE OF CRIME.

Now comes the American Institute OF
Criminology proposing to teach the
science of dealing with crime, Il is
said that We are much behind in
America in our methods of dealing
with Grim inals.
While about it the Institute ofCrir-
inology should attempt a rev CLASH
fication OF crime and criminals. If we
are behind in our methods, we are also
woefully off in our understanding and
conception of what constitutes crime
and how men qualify as criminals. We
: need complete classification and re-
arrangement Of schedules.
Thus it is sin TO steal pin. pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment as
petty larceny. The fellow who grabs
q pair Of pants goes TO jail a chicken
thief sees the gates of the penitentiary
open before him. They are mean
get. The burglar masked and armed,
is best locked away. The murderer
belongs behind stone walls. We are
not far out on the common, ignorant
criminal Take him away.
But there are those who should be
added TO the class. There is more steal
ing than takes place at night: more
holdups than are accomplished with a
gun. About as many crimes are COW
cred by the guise of responsibility as
are prepetrated behind the black mask
of the robber. What about these?
Is it less crime to conceal prop
erty and dodge taxes than to steal a
hen? Il perjury less a crime than
theft? The fact is that perjury is
commoner than petty stealing. Lawyers
tell us so and lawyers ought to know.
Is playing poker for money-which
is crininal-more a crime than bucking
a bucketshop? Why is it worse for
Bill Boggs to get drunk and raise a
row in the alley under the windows OF
the scarlet woman than for the prom
inent citizen to do the same thing.
Why should a banker who stole or
helped to steal the funds of a county
get a parole before he has stayed three
years in the pen while the fellow whc
stole horse stays ten years? Is ii
worse to steal from the outside thar
the inside?
Why should a niger get three. year:

A MILLION A MONTH ON THE SIDE.

1t doesn't take a new industry long
TO establish itself if it is filling public
need or supplying a general fad. The
automobile makers of America who are
now selling abroad million dollars a
month are doing both. They are max
they get them going and coming.
The millions going abroad are drop
in a bucket compared with those being
sold al home. Everyone and his neigh
bors are buying cars. Some because
they can use them. others because they
want them. If there is a street or a
stretch of road or desert or any other
place where power will drive and tires
stick that an automobile hasn't trav-
eled will some one locate it as d curl
osity?
Automobiles are costing the Ameri-
can people lot of money. Some peo-
pie are buying who ought not-but

But why when there is an opportunity

by Mr.. Taft as the only basis of reas-

cred it, especially in its provision for
an expert investigation OF the tariff
under the direction Of the president, as
stepping stone toward new methods

AN Sorts ofObiniions
Outside Testimony to Conversion.

What the ministry to a considerable
extent seem to have laid down, a. de-
tached layman has taken up. A book
has recently been published in Eng
land, which is described as "a clinic
in regeneration" 1t is called "Twice
Born Men," and in its pages Mr.. Har-
old Begbie presents the results OF his
studies of London thugs. toughs, and
sots who, thru believing the gospel,
have been transformed into sober.

interest is in psychological phenomena
and his method. that of scientific in
yestigator. "Altho he expresses no an
tagonism to the church, he seems to
consider the church negligible" and
takes his examples from the Salvation
Army. He does not, however, says a
writer in comment on the book, betray
[any close touch, even with the army.
Mr.. Begbie writes, in his introduce
ton:
"Whatever it may be, conversion IS
the only means by which radically
bad person may be changed into
radically good person. Whatever We
may think of the phenomenon itself,
the fact stands clear and unassaiiablc
that by this thing called conversion,
men consciously wrong, inferior. ana
unhappy, become consciously right, SUI
perior and happy. 1t produces not a
change but a revolution in character
1t does not alter; it creates new per-
sonality.
THE phrase "a new birth is not

irretrievably bad and under conversion
have become ardent savers of the lost.

of their inexpressible and impenetrablc
discovery, that, in the change which
overcame them they We're conscious OF
being born again To them-and we
can go TO no other authorities-thts
trem endous revolution in personality
signifies new birth. 1t transforms
Goneril into Cordelia, Caliban into
Ariel Saul of Tarsus into Paul the
apostle.
There is no medicine, no act of par
lament, no moral treatise, and no IN
vention of philanthropy which can
transform man radically bad into a
man radically good. If the state. bur-
dened and shackled by it's hordes of
outcasts and sinners, would march
freely and efficiently to its goal, it must
be at the hands of religion that relief is
sought. Only religion can perform the
miracle that will convert the burden
into assistance.
There is nothing else: there can be
nothing else. Science despairs of these
people and pronounces them hopeless
and incurable. Politicians find them
selves al the end of their resources.
Philanthropy begins to wonder whether
its charity could not be turned into a
more fertile channel The law speaks

What is back Of this unsilenceable
question? 1t is the sense of incomplete
ness; the present life is too brief to
match the wishes of mankind. At the
close OF life men are conscious of fac
ulties for which as yet they have had
no adequate field and opportunity. The
young minister hardly does more than
preach his first sermon: the young aw-
yer hardly does more than make his
first plea; the young scientist hardly
does more than make his first knock at
the door of the unknown. when the
summons comes to leave all.
