tion OF tuberculosis. If all the pub.

press Of this country gathered in ono
paper. the National Association esti.
mates 1t would make paper Of over

National Association estimates that
over 100000 inches. or over 90 miles.
OF press notices on tuberculosis have
been published.
Publicity is the very heart Of the
educational campaign against tuber.
culosis." says Dr. Livingston Farrand.
the executive secretary of the national
association. Largely because Of the
intelligent cooperation OF the press
has the anti-tuberculosis movement in
this country been able to become. as
1t Is. the greatest organized movement
OF its kind in the world. When tuber.
culosis shall have become rare dis.
ease the American press may justly
claim large share In this gigantic
achievement"

THE RESURRECTION.

The first day OF tho week
cometh Mary Mngdalene early,
when It wns yet dark. unto the
sepulchre. and seeth the stone
taken away from the scpulchre.
Then she runncth. and cometh
to Simon Peter. and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved, and
saith unto them. They have
taken away tho Lord out OF tho
sepulchre. and we know not
where they have laid him. Peter
therefore went forth. and that
other disciple. and came to tho
sepulchre. So they ran both
together: and the other disciple
did outrun Peter. and came first
to the sepulchre. And he stoop.
ing down. and looking in. saw
the linen clothes lying: yet went
ae not in. Then cometh Simon
Peter following him. and went
into the sepulchre. and seeth
the linen clothes lie: and tho
napkin. that was about his head.
not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped together in a place
by itself. Then went in also
that other disciple which came
first to the sepulchre. and he
saw. and believed. For as yet
they knew not the Scripture,
that he must rise ngain from the
dead. Then the disciples went

there used to prevail a custom for
tho sovereign to wash the feet OF as
many poor people as correspondcd

regularly perform this service. though
Queen Elizabeth in her thirty.ninth
year washed the feet of thirty.nine Of
her subjects.
Her majesty was attended by an
equal number Of ladies' and gentle
men. The feet Of these poor OF the
