urday began the selection of the pick
ed squad of thirty members Of the
state militia to come to Memphis for
the purpose of bringing Will Coats

will come here Monday. Coats is
charged with the murder of Marshal

with shooting Bod Dean, a deputy

Governor Hooper of Tennessee re-
fused to honor a requisition from

be protected from mob violence

Donaghey intends that the militia
shall resist with force and even bull

violence.

Quersr ot AL heather gods. Every

lures and commerce, 1t 10 the seed OF
prosperity.
Our Lord says that what 10 true Of
the seed is true Of the Savior. The
Son Of Man, because he was a son OF
man, could not be glorified except
through death. No son Of man can be.
Until he died, Christ was alone; the
only begotten son in his birth, lonely
in his life, lonely in Gethsemane, alone
before tho Sanhedrim, Herod and
and was laid in lonely grave. He was
a seed of immortality. His resurrec-
ton was as natural as the coming up
Of green things in springtime. He
could not be holden Of death Over
such a spirit as his, death hath no
power Is his resurrection wonderful?
Far more wonderful, quite beyond be-
lief, would be the passing OF such a
spirit into eternal silence and moth
ingness.
He showed that what WAS true OF
the seed and Of the Savior IL true
life will lose It, and only he who loses
his life for the highest things can save
it. Save your body from wear anG
tear Of labor, and you destroy It Save
your brain from thinking, and you

hopes Of youth have darkened into
sober, commonplace life; the best eff
forts of our young manhood or wo
manhood have resulted only in con.
parative failure. Well, we have sowet
some seed, under the kind leading O
the Great Sewer, instead Of eating i,

sowed, will have resurrection in great
er glory. Our eyes will view with won
der and delight the flowers and fruits
we shall gather from the things we
wept over as lost All that are in the
grave shall arise. That seed of good
sown in humble duty and self-deniaa
and with tears, shall have its Easter

OUR NATURAL SAVAGERY.
II Will at Times Break Through the
Veneer Of Civilization.

It's mighty short step from modern
civilization to the natural impulses Of
ancient savagery. If you don't believe
It just watch some time, and you'll
see a small boy-or n grown man Ills
over rabbit.
The first thought that comes into his
mind is to kill the rabbit. Quickly he
searches his mind to see where q
weapon can be found
The second thought is to Secure a
rock to throw at it, just as some cave
man might
man finds snake coiled in the
road. 1t may be harmless snake,
but It's snake, and therefore his
primitive instinct calls upon him to
kill it.
A weapon He seeks about for a
club just as his ancient, skin clothed
ancestors would have done, and, hav-
ting secured the club, he dispatches
the snake, his soul singing with tri
umph.
Modern civilization probably would
have urged the man to cut forked
stick and catch the snake by the neck
with 1t, then to secure 10 cents worth
II chloroform and kill it swiftly and
painlessly. But he goes after the club
Just as naturally as If he had never
seen steam heated fiat or ridden Oh
a trolley car or seen an automobile.
Children roam in the woods and eat
every variety of berry they can find
1t matters not If they be poisonous
They taste them all from the looks,
and the amount eaten depends on the
taste. This IS probably what the cave
children did, and the modern infants
show the same intelligent caution re-
garding what they put in their mouths.
It's that way all through We may
have acquired more or less thicl;
veneer Of modern civilization. but let
emergencies arise and we're as primi-
tive as the most primitive Of our an,

The modern, like tho ancient, Tenn
pie Of God rests upon tho foundations
Of tho universe. Religious thought and
scientific research work together to
bring them to view. 1t comes with in
MIGRATING freshness to one who dis
covers 1t in experience, that the words
Of Christ are based upon old, but new
ly discovered, foundations Of tho uni
verso, and are therefore in harmony
with the newly discovered truth of
each generation.
These thoughts are suggested by
what our Lord said few days before
His death: Verify, verify, say unto
you, except \ corn of wheat fall into
the ground and die, 1t abideth alone;
but II 1t die, 1t bringeth forth much
fruit" He took a truth of nature and
showed that it applied both to himself

consider the illimitable scope of this
law. The surface of the world had to
perish age after age, to produce soil
in which plant life could live; plants
had to perish, as they do now, that ant
mails might live; uncounted billions of
creatures, huge and infinitesimal, had
to perish that man might appear;
whole races have to pass away, that
higher races may be developed; old
customs and ideas must die to give
place to fuller truth,
The word Easter illustrates this
perfectly. Ostara. the goddess of
