custom: In the dawn OF the early
morning she rises and puts on white
robe and white clogs. Round her neck
she hangs a small mirror, which fails

each point bearing lighted candle.

ton. You are already raised from the
dead. The moment the proclamation of
emancipation was declared the black
man was free, raised from the death
of slavery to the life of freedom. al
though it took some of them many
months to find it out and to realize IT.
The moment the farmer SowS his
wheat. the field becomes a wheat field.
Wheat forces begin to work within
the soil, and although for days and
weeks more stones and dirt can be seen
than wheat yet it is wheat field.
Let a man believe in Jesus Christ
and at once he becomes a resurrection
field. There may be blemishes and de-
fects innumerab1e in his life. Yet the
forces are at work within the soil OF
his soul which will mutually produce
a life that shall shine in the kingdom

Death Is Uncrowned.
Every believer stands now in a new
relation to death. Death is uncrown-
ed; its power is broken; its kingdom
has fallen. He has entered a new
realm. and now what must his life be?
What shall occupy his affections?
To what shall he be like? Paul
answers the question. Seek those
things which are above" Set your
mind on things above"
The old Greek word for man was,
The up-looker'' Since you have
been raised with Christ, you are
man." Paul says You are an up
locker. an up-seeker. Since you have
been raised with Christ run the pipe
of your affections up and make COR
nections with the throne and from
there draw the strength of your life,
the joy of your soul, the satisfaction
of your needs and the realization of
your hopes. Seek those things which
are above"
When Lazarus was raised from the
dead he at once started for home,
seeking. its shelter. its exclusion. its
friendships. its joys. 1t was upon
home that he set his mind. So Paul
says: since you were raised with
Christ" start for home. Live the res
direction life by leaving the grave
OF sin, and casting off the grave
clothes of wOrldliness. Live the res
direction life now. Sons and daugh-
tiers Of the living God, you have risen
to the high level of Gods thought in
the resurrection of Jesus Christ You
are now to resemble him. to incarnate
him, to interpret him till you compel
others to admire him as they see his
face in your life

Privileges OF A King
By Huntington Hope.

, modified by statute (1S70). A person
accused of treason is tried by a court
Of law-the court Of the lord high
steward, in which the peers are judges
and jury if the accused be a peer or
peerless ordinary law courts if
that be not the case. Following upon
the verdict and before or after the
execution Of judgment the man was at
tainted by the passing Of an act of
attainder.
Assuming that act to have been
passed the king could if he chose.
grant the convicted person a full and
free pardon. That relieved him from
the execution of the judgment but
nothing more; the king could restore
him to all his forfeited property, but
the king could not replace the man in
his former position, for he remained
unable to inherit
Can Restore Honor.
He could restore forfeited peerages
and titles of honor, but unless another
act Of parliament reversed the act of
attainder, the action of the sovereign
did no more than create new peerages
The king could grant patent Of pre-
cedence, but that would have had no
effect in the house of lords, where pre-
cedence is governed by statute
The constitutional position of the
sovereign accounts for one-and to
many of US groaning Under the budget
most observation-disclosures The
sovereign pays no rates or taxes The
reason for this is that theoretically all
taxes are levied in the kings name for
the purpose Of carrying on the govern
ment, and that, as in fact it would
have been before the days Of the civil
list. to tax the income Of the king for
the purpose Of defraying the kings
expenditures was simply taking money
from one of his pockets to put it into
another.
So stringently is this theory adhered
to that the exemption from taxation
extends no further than the person of
the sovereign, and all other members of
the royal family are subject to the
same taxation as the rest Of us The
matter was tested by the late prince
consort in connection with his farming
experiments at Windsor.

FIGURES ON
 BARONS' GREAT HOME WORK

It might be an interesting study to the fan flock to inquire into the reasons why Birmingham made such splendid show inAas a result of the 1T games played in Birmingham the last two weeks.
 The offensive operations of every men- Der of the Baron crew are shown below. The figures are interesting. They show that Elliott for the two weeks hit Az, and that Phelan and Johnston were close to the $50 mark. They show that Moles- worth stung the ball at 300 clip, the best hitting he has done this season, and that McGilvray, the ranking hitter of the club, dropped down to .267.
 Of the regulars, McGilvray and Ellam alone hit below their standard McGilv- ray took a slump of over 30 percentage points Ellam's slump was one of only ! percentage points.
 The feature Of the long series, however, was the pitching of Kent The young Baron was in five games of his own and won them all handily. Foxen won four in row, also, and one of them was a no-hlt affair Maxwell during the stay at home lost one of the three games which he has lost since joining the Barons, and Spear failed to break even Trough, who has been one of the stand-bys for the season, showed awful form, losing the two games which he is charged with having pitched, and by good fortune shifting another de- feat. rightfully his own, on the shoulders of Speer.
