That is the great deliverance which
makes Easter. Christ has conquered
death, and the fear of death, for all
his friends. The old terror of the
grave has gone for all those who have
entered into the secret of the friend

is full of lilies and palms and flowers

is risen!' In rising, he has brought

ter, since the first Resurrection morn,
as this one. There are more disciples
of Jesus intent on sharing the good
news of the risen Savior with all the
race than ever before followed his
banner. Easter is the missionary day;
and this is pre- eminently the mission
airy era. The supreme Importance of
the Resurrection message has taken
hold of the whole church in behalf of
the whole world.
The Easter miracle is being repeat
ed in our own time. There is in Phil

years of his life in jail. Then he
strayed into a rescue mission. There
was another supernatural resurrection.

INDEPENDENCE
ON THE FARM
SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW
FARMING IN THE CANADIAN

Americans In Canada Not Asked to

Americans.

Farm produce today is remunera-
tive, and this helps TO make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics Of the day tell us that
the strength Of the nation lies In the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer a hand-to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence, often afiluence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house, near one of
the numerous thriving towns of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition Of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original The broad acres OF the farm
ers land had crop-and a splendid

reapers' work. The evenness of the
crop, covering field after field, attract

the well-rounded sides of the cattle
his broken English-he was a French

and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal a year ago,
had paid $50 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement it
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil
dence as to the quality of the soil, and
the good judgment that had been used
In Its preparation. And brains count

how he liked 1t there, he Strengthened
his broad shoulders, and with hand
outstretched towards the waving fields

wife standing near. She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far

Throughout trip of several hun

Of Western Canada, the writer found
the farmers in excellent spirits, an
optimistic feeling being prevalent
everywhere. 1t will be interesting to

SAYS SCAvENGERS
DELAY IS Due TO
CITY AND STORM
So Many Men Enlisted AS Street
Cleaners Contractors Can't
Get Collectors.

Chief S~cavenger Inspector Struble,
commenting upon the delay in the re-
moval of garbage and ashes, today
said hat the l.. j. Buckley Company,
the city s%cayenger contractors, while
not living up strictly to their contract,
were doing all that could be expected
under the present adverse weather
conditions. The main trouble, MI,
Struble said, seems to be their inability
to obtain men to trudge through the
snowbanks to collect garbage anu
ashes.
THE city itself is responsible to a
great extent" said Mr.. Struble. for
the inability of the contractors to get
men. At the present time the city is
employing men to remove the snow
from the principal thoroughfares, and
no one need be told hat a man would
far rather shovel snow than trudge
through the snowbanks to empty the
ashcans. OF course, at the same time,
we need the men to do this work, but
it handicaps the contractor. So far as
/ could learn myself, and through the
reports submitted to me by my in
spectors today, the contractors are
doing all that physical effort can ac-
complish in an effort to live up to their
contract.

York, has been asked to ship all the
men they can get hold of to the Buck

do come, worksabout half a day and
then demand their money, and his is
the last that is ever seen or heard of
them.
This storm came at a time when we
were getting our schedules in shape
again after they had been shattered by
the last snowfall. Yesterday was coll
lection day in the downtown district,
but owing to the storm half of the
work could not be done, but it was
completed today. Residents of the Hill
and Roseville sections are kicking be-
cause the ashes and garbage are not
removed. l had occasion to visit tho

General superintendent of Works
Shipman, who has issued an order to
both Mr.. Struble and the contractors
that the city contract belived up to to the
letter, takes the stand that they knew
at the time they were given the con-
tract that they would be forced to con-
tend with all kinds of weather condi-
lions and the unreliability of such men
as they might employ. 1t is for the
purpose of maintaining the regular coll
lection schedule that Mr.. Shipman has
issued the orders.

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
IS PREDICTION OF
MINORITY LEADER
Champ Clark Says Victory Is
Assured in Noyember-Tri-
umphaI Entry for Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Champ
Clark, the minority leader of the
House, returned to the capitol today
after ten days of speech-making in
Missouri and the Middle West and
spread cheering predictions of a sweep
ing Democratic victory in the con-
gressional elections this fall and a Dem
ocratic House of Representatives. Mr..
Clark said he found a. thriving spirit
of democracy in Ohio and Missouri
and other places where he visited. In
Missouri he predicted the Republicans
would be wiped off the map He de-
clared that dissatisfaction with Repub-
iican rule was lever so widespread as
now and that the next House of Rep
resentatives would be Democratic 'as
sure as anything in the world
Mr.. Clark brought with him from
Missouri an interesting story which he
learned at Kansas City Of the departure
of a certain gentleman from the latter
place a few days ago for Africa, rep
resenting practically all of the com
mercial bodies of the West and Middle
West, to invite Colonel Roosevelt tc
Liant at a Francisco upon his return
to the United States and cross the con-
tinent from west to east.
Such q. procession across the coun-
try would be the greatest show seen or
this earth since the morning stars first
sang together" said the Democratic
leader.
Mr.. Clark recalled that President
Grant had lone much the same thing,
and said that il Grant had landed al
San Francisco at a more opportune
time no power could have prevented
his nomination for the presidency for d
third term.
