py days since, but the shadows come
and the darkness hovers. Without the
hope of the resurrection life would
be one sad, sad story. 1t is the one
event around which the whole universe
revolves and the hope of all mankind
is centred.
''Now hear these tales, ye weary and
worn,
Who for others do give up your all,
Our Saviour hath told you that seeds
that would grow,
Into earth's dark bosom must fall,
And then will the fruit appear"
You remember the answer Of the
Master when the Sadducees came to
him and said there was no resurrec-
tion "You do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power Of Cod" And
then he quoted the word spoken by
God, saying, 81 am the God of Abra-
ham, and the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob? God is not the God of the
dead but Of the living" And when
the Sadducees had been silenced and
the Pharisees thought to tempt him
by one of them which was a lawyer
asking him which is the great COM
nardment, he said, "Thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind. And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" "On these two commandments
hang all the law and the prophets"
And then what the Master said unto
Mary when she came to the tomb and
did not find his body where they had
laid it, but when she turned saw him
standing there. Touch me not; for
l am not yet ascended to my father;
but go to my brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto my father, and
your father; and unto my God and
your Cod" And that same evening,
when he stood in the midst OF his dis
ciples his parting benediction was,
peace be unto you" 1t is beautiful
story, the story of the resurrection.
Remember the great commandment
and the second which is like unto it.
Why will people not sweep before
their own doors? l mean the question
literally. And I mean the s; iewalks
as we'll as the yards. II ! keep my
yard neat and clean and free from
germs my neighbor has no legal nor
moral right to jeopardize my health
and life by failing to keep his premises
clean and sanitary In the old days,
when people lived far apart the con-
dition of my neighbor's premises did
not concern me, out in this day OF
crowded buildings and little air and
less elbow room, we are vitality con-
cerned in the condition of our neigh
boris yards-front and back. Then,
how much it would add to the appear
ance of the town generally, if every
one would just spend little bit of
time and energy in cleaning up. No
use to have a cleaning up day, but
make every day such day.
While council is at it paving Main
street it should lay out park in the
public square below the old court
house and plant it in grass and then it
would not take so much to pave the
public square. Such move would add
greatly to the appearance OF the city
as we'll as the comfort of the people
generally. But you know it takes some
little courage to make innovations and
do those things which are for the best
interests of the whole community.
think the meanest man in the
world, and the one lowest down, is the
one who will be friendly to your face
and then when you are not present
make all sorts of unkind remarks
about you. Once upon time was a
member of a secret fraternal society
and have seen men be exceedingly
friendly and fraternal while in the
lodge room and then as soon as lodge
was closed one would go to work to
bemean and say unkind things Of the
