sire takes possession of you to traverse
intervening distances, anil to find the
companions of your youth, to sit with them
and recount your experiences during that
long lapse Of years, since you and they
had the same hopes, the same aspirations,
the same high ideals. With the touch Of
the long-parted hand, the sound of the
well-loved voice, the inspiration of "high-
thinking" returns to clothe the earth

The tiny seed under its covering of
earth, he bulb with its friends of water
and rock, teach the serious thinker that
no form of life is wasted or even lost
Reasoning by analogy, how plain it is that
the "Great Spirit who quickens the seed
germ into the impulse Of growing, and
who puts into all forms of life the germ
of reproduction, can raise the dead after
ages of dissolution. Who can under
stand the marvel Of nature in any one

comes the incomprehensible.
The First Cause is the great Father
who was before ever the earth was
formed, when darkness was upon the face
of the waters. 1t is his love for man,
as the best Of his kingdom which finds
expression in all the muItitudious forms
of life. 1t will be his love for man
which will find compensation when he re-
stores the dead to life. When He gives
them new bodies in which to beautify
his kingdom
This mortal shall put on Immortality
The old order shall have passed away
and in eternity we shall be like him and
shall see him face to face.
"Still in the seeds of all He made,
The rose of beauty burns,
Through times that change ard forms
that fade,
Immortal youth returns"

FANNIN.

ON the spring a young mans fancy,
Lightly turns to thoughts of love-"
When the winter of our discomfort is
over, there is an irresistible desire for new
channels Of life and thought and thus
our fancy turns to love, the enlighterer
and one great solace of our present ex-
istence The love of family, of friends
and of nature in her varying moods,
makes life worth living and sheds the
conleur de rose upon cur every day life.
During the long, weary weeks of WIN
ter, the ola earth lies dormant under
the SHOWS. Passiverly, it receives with
out protest or murmur, the fitful wars
of the elements Rain beats persistently
down upon its unresisting foundations,
winds moan and howl and shrek around
its 'four corners" thunder booms fear
full artillery, lightning flashes forth its
lurid CLEANS earthquakes make havoc
with the most awful upheayals, cid ocean
lashes and heaves in powerful waves
which claim its hundred victims, cyclones
do their very worst and yet the earth
makes no sign.
But when the spring comes, the dear
earth awakes from its long sleep; its
very heart knows a.Iesh the impulse of
life; new currents begin to flow along
its veins; from center to circumference
it shakes off the lethargy of the winter
and arouses itself into ever new and
changing forms of life.
To the small seed, the winters cruelty
had, been but seeming, for the beautiful
snow had kept it warm and now there
was naught for it to do but to blossm
into beauty, and to be a marvel to men.
The great oak which had resisted the
shock of tempests, clothes itself in tender
green and reaches forth sheltering arms
for man and beast-a carpet of grass
covers the earth as though in night
and the children of men find rest for
the tired eye and the weary limb-earth's
avenues blossom into beauty of blossom,
its gardens abound in vegetables and
fruit and mother nature is radiant with
promise for the future Of her children.
AS it is in the kingdom of nature, so
is it with the race of man. During
the long months of strenuous endeavor
when the struggle for bread is raging
among the sin-cursed sons of universal
father. crust of selhshness hardens over
the world, civil and polite. After the
toll of the brain, after the sweat of the
brow, the breath of spring brings heal
ing and rest to the brain-worr thinker
and to the weary plodder. The crust.
of sel6shness which has borne down noble
impulses gives way to generous feeling
and brighter promise, which the spring
unfolds in hervaried forms Of life. The
human heart receives solace for burdens
borne, now past and gone; and, comforted
thus, it seeks to cheer the heart OF uni
versal mankind by being helpful and
gentle to those hearts in touch with its
own
Universal love is borne upon the breezes
Of the gentle spring. Every heart hears
its whisperings and responds to its bene-
ficent influence. New hope springs into
life wherever there is aught of human
endeavor. II is this love entering the
soul, which reaches out over time and
space and seeks to clasp the hand Of kin

A novel marriage took place lately
at st. Moritz. Switzerland. The bride
and bridegroom, both Swiss, accom-
panied by the best man, numerous
bridesmaids and wedding guests, all
on skis, arrived at the church at st.
Moritz.
The happy throng, after placing
their skis against the walls Of the

bride, who carried a buncn OF orange
blossoms. was clothed in white sweat
er, short skirts and heavily studded
boots.
After the ceremony the young cou-

amount of wool imports or the popu-

TODAY'S BEST STORY.

The lady in the offside corner seat
of the tramcar possessed a truculent
air and a discolored eye, says Ideas.
Funny anyone can't take a penny
ride without everybody glarin' at 'em,"
she remarked, fixing a small gentle
man, wearing gray side whiskers and
somewhat rusty top hat, with her
normal optic.
The small gentleman suddenly be-
came interested in a soap advertise
ment.
"If anyone can't ave a black eye
without Tom, Dick and AIRY askin'
questions, things are comm to pret-
ty pass" continued the lady.
Silence, allied with soap advertise
ment study, though eminently dis
Greet, was ineffective.

prodded the small gentleman's knee
with her umbrella. Bin settin' there
