profound and fecund beauty Of religious
aspirations, is a fact of such Importance
and significance that it cannot escape the
attention of any one who may follow the

a degree the most profound problems are
agitating and revolutionizing the modern
spirit.

of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart,
and We shall find rest unto your souls"
What did Christ mean? What does He
mean now as He asks His followers to
bear a yoke? How can there be rest in
the hard, grinding toll that bearing a
yoke implies?
The German poet Goethe answered the
question when he said:
Rest is not quitting
This busy career;
Rest IL the fitting
OF self TO sphere.
- It's the brooks notion.
Clear. without strife,
Fleeing to ocean
After this life.
IT'S loving and serving
The highest and best;
It's onward answering,
And this is true rest"
This is the secret of -rest-serving-and
serving with Christ. who is the yokefel-
low Of every one Of His followers. He
does not ask them to bear the yoke alone

Christ Bears the Heavier End.

You have seen, perhaps. two oxen, one

The strong OK sometimes seems to be
thinking of the weakness of his COM
panion: he takes on his own shoulders
the larger part of the load. That is the
picture Christ wishes us to have in mind.
The burden put upon us is not too heavy
for us.
Rev. Park Hays Miller, pastor Of the
Church Of the Evangel, Philadelphia, once
used this illustration to show how Christ
puts on His people no heavier burdens
than they are able II carry: I'm a visit
to a glass works I was very much i'm

in connection with the manufacture of the

AEROHAUTS BLAMED
FOR OWN DEATHS
Three Fatalities Result From
Starting Ascent In
Face of Storm.

BERLIN, April 4.-German ae~onau-
tic experts declared today that the cause
OF aviation would not suffer in the
least from yesterdays tragic death Of
three aeTOnauts IN the balloon Pom
mern, which won the international bal
loon race at St. Louis three years ago.
That the men invited their own death
by their fOOihardiness in ascending dur
ing a hurricane is the opinion of all.
and despite the prominence Of the vic
tins. one OF whom was Herr Delbruck,
a member Of the TeiChstag. there Is not
the usual manifestations Of sorrow over
the outcome.
The driving of the balloon first into
net Of telegraph wires and then
against a smoke-stack before IL finally
got clear. so crippled the balloon and
injured the occupants that IL was i'm
possible TO exert any control over IL
Delbruck tried 10 bring the balloon down
before reaching the sea, into which IL fell
a short distance beyond Swinemunde,
forty miles from Stettin. the objective
point but the cord controlling the escape
valve refused 70 work until the balloon
was over the sea.
Even then il failed TO work properly,
for instead OF the balloon undergoing
a gradual descent, il plunged into the
sea. DelbruCk and Herr Bendush were
drowned. while Herr Helm died soon
after being taken aboard a tug. Herr
Semmelhardt alone survived the terrible
experience. He was able to cling 10 the
wreckage until picked Up by the tug.
