The Resurrection and the Life.

The cornerstone of the Christian
church is laid in the empty grave
of Jesus Christ. The resurrection
proves the death; the death proves
the life the life the birth of Jesus
Christ. Deny the resurrection and
it is impossible to account for the
existence of Christianity. The res
direction proves our own resurrec-
ton. Empty was the tomb of Jesus
on the first Easter morn, so empty
shall be all the graves Of his people
on the last great Easter morn He
is therefore in the largest and full
est sense the resurrection and the
life. Rev. Dr. R. S. Macarthur, Pas
tor of the Calvary Baptist Church,

Editor Democrat
l always read your paper with
great deal of interest, and was
especially interested III an article in
your last issue concerning the re-
hgion of the Presidents. A few
months ago l read a series of arti-
Giles in a religious periodical giving
the utilization of all the Presidents,
but in order to satisfy myself, l Sc
cured the official biography of each
one just to find out the truth con-
corning their church membership.
l find therefore that your article is
not correct, which places eight of
them as Episcopalians. seven Pres
byterians, four MethodiSts, TWO Con-
gregationists, two-Dutch Reformed
two Unitarian and one Disciple. In
studying their biographies l find the
following to be their correct church
affiliations: Washington. Madison
Monroe. William Henry Harrison,
Tyler. Pierce and Arthur, we're
Episcopalians. Jackson, Buchanan,
johnson, Cleveland, Harrison and
Wilson. were Presbyterians. Polk,
Hayes, Grant and Mckinley, were
Methodists. John Adams, John
Quincy Adams and Taft, were Uni
tarians. Van Buren, and Roosevelt,
were Dutch Reformed Jefferson
was a Free Thinker, and Garfield
was a Disciple. Lincoln was not a
member of any church, though he
usually attended the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church while
President. Mrs. Lincoln was a
Methodist, and a Methodist Bishop
preached Lincoln's funeral sermon
Willard Fillmore was not a church
member, but his wife was a Baptist
being the daughter of a Baptist
minister, and Mr.. Fillmore attended
regularly the First Baptist Church
of Rochester, New York, and his
funeral sermon was preached by &
Baptist minister. Therefore all Of
our presidents except Jefferson, the
two Adams and Taft were evangel,
icaI Christians. While Mr.. Lincoln
was not a member of the church
yet no one can deny that he was
a devout Christian, and perhaps
more than any other chief executive
of our nationi sought the mind anC
will of God in his administration.

One Kind of a Wife.

The wife of a New York Million
aire has said that by exercising
care, she could clothe herself on
100000 a year. Her husband
doubtless feels, justly proud of a
wife who exercises as a great care
in making every penny of her pin
money 60 so far; for should she re-
lax her strict practice of economy
the money power would soon begin
to tOtter on its throne. 1t is en-
couraging to see the rich thus re-
turning to the simpler and more
economical modes of living and
dressing. And at the present rate
it won't be long before the editors
wife can 90 about disguised as the
wife of a millionaire. And yet
some people still prefer the less
modern wife. who raises children,
and sells butter and eggs enough to
clothe the whole family, set the
table, and in dull times. help pay
the hired man. To the average ed
itor the millionaire's wife would
prove pretty much of luxury; and
as we feel that a long and flourish
ing list of delinquent subscribers
affords us about all the luxury we
can stand at one time, we have de-
cided to stand by our present wife
and comfort ourselves with the
thought that after all, love in cot
tage and a pure heart meath a
calico waist are still worth some
thing, ~

The Women Suffrage Failure.

The women's suffrage question is
entirely a state issue and can in no
way be made a federal issue. The
states have control of the voting
franchise and hardly two of them
have the same provisions. The
demonstration to be made by the
women at Washington can have no
effect on the federal government,
because the federal government has
nothing to do with the matter.
General Jones took refuge under
that when four colored women pro-
posed to join her ranks and it was a
sound proposition that she laid
down. 1t is hardly likely that any
southern state will vote for women
suffrage during the present genera
ton. st. Louis Times.

MERCER THANKS

any tendency and shun every tempta

zeal advantages of any faction or per

deeper than that. 1t hes in health. In

The headaches, the lassitude, the sal

usually due to constipation. SO many

carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
