He had talked Will uls COlleRe Cuum,

not be married without license. Mrs.
Illingsworth was giving a sort of East

would be delighted to take charge Of

NnW We See.


Once we were blind; now we see.
Once we thought heaven was above
the sky; now it is within us. If so be
we love God in Christ Jesus and try to
serve him with all simplicity and earn
estness. Once we thought of the dead
as gone away from us; now they are
no longer dead; they have risen in
our lives and thoughts. they are the
chief impulses of our life, they encour-
age us, bless us, enrich us. verify they
live more today than when we could
nut our hands in theirs and look them
in the face. God is changing all things;
the water is becoming wine, the light
is becoming heaven. the summer is
paradise restored. IF any man be in
Christ he is new creature; old
things are passing away; behold, all
things are become new.-Joseph Par

Idols and Symbols,

raising of symbols to new ideals,
which symbols, in return. go as man

but the danger with most people is
that they are apt to worship the cart

Sometimes that observance falls
short in the true meaning OF the sea-
son that symboliZes to the Christian
n risen Lord, and hope of immortality.
Like our Christmas celebrations. the
religious side of Eastertide is DER
shadowed by the social
The change from the solemn peni-
tential week just past to the joyous
ness and light and color Of Easter
morn has for most of us too little Of
religious element.
Even though we join the throngs
surging the churches and revel in the
Easter flowers that bank the altars,
and join in the Easter carols of praise,
we fall far short of realizing what a
lack of Easter would have meant to
civilization.
The world is better place to live
In because of Eastertide. Though the
spiritual side of us be but poorly devel-
oped the material should rejoice in
the blessings and comforts bestowed
by the ages-old belief in the risen
Lord.
What the world would have been
without Easter; what women would
have been we can but family imagine.
Without the hope that sprang from
that open grave in far-away Judea, life
would lack high incentive to purity,
truth and love for our neighbor.
If this were all; If with the ebbing
of life there were no hope of be
yond;" then would seltlshness and
pleasure reign supreme. the law Of
might would prevail, and this world
be a worse place than it is for the
poor, the sick, and the lowly.
If we cannot wholly approve of the
worlds method of observing Easter
and the days Immediately preceding it,
the Easter festival with its curious OBJ
servances have an interest in that
however feebly, they draw universal
attention to the day Of the risen
Lord.
Odd points of resemblance may be
seen in many of these observances
and like many of the great days of
the church. the customs associated
with 1t have been drawn from pagan
worship.
Easter is time of Joy and gladness.
for 1t comes in the spring, when, ac-
cording to pagan belief. Nature awoke
from the winter death sleep and ev-
erything breathed of life and hope.
Therefore there is common note of
10y in Easter celebrations. whether 1t
be among the cool-headed Anglo-Sax-
on. the undemonstrative Scandinavian,
or the intense, passionate Latin races.
But perhaps nowhere is the spirit
of the day more emphasized than In
Russia, where when at the stroke of
midnight on Easter Eve, the priest
announces to the kneeling multitude
He is risen" the congregation bursts
into unanimous response, He is
risen. indeed" and joy in the blessed
thought is expressed in warm en-
braces among friends.
During all of Easter Day, the Rus
sian peasants visit among their
friends, exchanging the Joyous greet
ing with each acquaintance. Christ is
risen" to which the other responds,
He is risen indeed" followed by the
triple kiss on either cheek and fore
head.
Yet even here is the trace Of pagan
ism in the use of the Easter egg,
which was the symbol to the pagan of
a new life On the round of visits each
guest presents a colored egg to the
hostess, receiving one in return. with
refreshments thrown in

e.duoino a Pound to Nothing.

In what form is lead lightest on the
scales? Z A British scientist has at
tempted to tell how to make,the proof.
but 1t isn't the ensiest thing In the
world either to, prepare the pound OF
lead or place 1t in position for the
proof. He says that making 1000 small
balls OF the pound of lead the weight
remains the same though the surface Is
greatly increases Then reduce the
small balls into 100000 balls. with
the surface enormously increased. but
the balls still weigh the one pound In
the scales. But this scientist says that
IL these 100000 shot particles further
are reduced to one twenty thousandth
of an inch each. they will rest in the
atmosphere just where they are
placed. This for the reason that that
pressure of light from the sun exactly
overcomes the forces Of gravitation
To make the lead bits smaller, how
ever, the scientist says that the sun
light seizes them and hurles them into
space.

Robinson Shows which exhibit in
Bryan, November 4. These Jap chill
dren are the smallest performers the
Oriental country has ever given to
the shows of this country. They are
without question the most wonderful
athletes the Japanese have ever pro-
duced. The children arrived in this
country the first of March and al
though having been here but a short
time, they have mastered few OF
the words of the English language.
The little boys and girls will receive
the small children who attend the
circus and talk to them the best way
they can of their native land. Their
performance is one of the sensations
of the age and their wardrobe is the
grandest ever conceived in Japan.

London, Oct. 23.--Madame Sarah

here today, being SIXTY seven. For
sometime the British people have
been making preparations to make
the celebration a national tribute to
tho great French actress.
AS part Of the testimonial to Ma
dame Bernhard and address d con-
graduation Is to be presented. This
address will be unique in several re-
spects. 1t will be bound in severa,

book would not suffice to contain
half the signatures already pledged
and it will bear the autographs Of the
greatest men and women in the eni-
|pire from the King and Queen down.
Madame Bernhard first appeared
in London at the old Gaiety Theatre
in June 1897. She has grown in fay
or every year and seats have been at
la premium ever since her coming en-
gagement here was announced.
Mr. Pemberton is the author Of the
address, which says in part:
"A great artist and great French
woman, you interpret for us not only
the masterpieces Of French tragedy,
but also the mind of your fellow
countrymen. Every time that you ap-
pear on the stage of one Of your own
theatres you bring France nearer to
England and we have come to look
upon you as our own possession, de-
spite the fact it is you who have con-
quered us by your womanly charm,

ity and your incompatible art.
