An Easter Vision


At the loveliest of all seasons,
when the heart is filled with long
ings, we have dreams and visions Of
something better than we have yet
known. Ernest Poole bids us look
into the future and behold with him
the city that is to be.
II see great awakening through
the generations ahead, to all the
higher things in life. | see a new cit
izenship that shall take pride in the
city, its purity and its honor as we'll
as its beautiful homes and streets.
l see among all the men and women
a risen intelligence, new hunger,
new ideals. And out of these | see
great men arising-not only men in
power but men and women too who
will give expression to the riches of
our spiritual life. | see the great
public buildings, the Libraries, the
concert halls, the theaters, scenes
to be remembered for centuries to
come. Multitudes of people, notion
less and silent, reverent, enrap-
tured, listening to the opera, the
symphony, the drama. In the gal
leries, the pictures; in the libraries
the books. The work of the giants
of new race, all emerging, as
they must, from the new commun-
ity life. The city Of the future must
indeed be strong in body. But my
dream of the city that is to be is its
mighty, loving soul. How is this
living soul of the future city to be
made? Mainly by the mothers
through their children. AS the years
60 on mothers are going to change.
Women will receive from the out
side world some real knowledge OF
its vital growth, themselves to take
part in that growth, and perhaps
give more than they receive, recall
the memories Of a forgotten Christ,
gather inspirations out OF the living
rast, crowd bitterness and greed out
of this fierce battle for life, and
bring in higher motives. But, first OF
all, and foremost their work IS TO
be the old one, the task of rearing
the children who are to make the
men and women of our future city.
What tremendous task is laid up
on the mothers! There will be laws
against the labor of children in fac
tories, shops, mills. and mines. And
there will be play grounds, parks
and other wholesome recreation
places, for the thousands of chill
dren who live from birth to death IN
the cities. When the doctor, the
chemist, the engineer, the inventor
shall have freed the physical life of
the city from the terrific industrial
strain. there will be time for the
beautiful and higher things of life.
The Church in the City.
Its doors stand open to the busy
street,
Within are silence and soft solitude;
Without the tread of careless pass
ing feet,
A careless people, old with unbelief,
Tncredulous of creeds and simple
faith,
Pass by impatiently; and only Grief
Stands hesitant before the open door
Old world old Grief, too tired for
new creeds
Seeking the simple faith it knew be-

POSITIVE PROOF.

Samuel Untermyer, the New York
lawyer, said in Washington of a GER
tain exposure:
The proof was positive-as posi-
tive as the proof against the barber.
There was a barber who was ac-
cused of secret inebriety, but his old
patrons refused to credit such a
charge.
"A stanch old patron went to the
man to be shaved one morning. The
barber in silence began to lather him
and then suddenly seized him by the
nose.
"Lathering away. the barber gripped
the nose 50 firmly that its owner
grunted in pain:
Here, let go my nose!"
But the barber, still holding on
tight. said as he lathered steadily on:
Cant! If I did I'd fall down.
