In Detroit Pulpits

Despite lowering skies at the hour
OF services. Sunday morning, the
churches OF Detroit held large congre-
cations assembled for Easter religious
devotions. There was a conspicuous
absence OF Easter millinery and new
clothes. due 10 the cold, raw ana
threatening weather which later de-
veloped into such a steady downpour
Of rain.
The subject OF the resurrection was
taken for pulpit discourse by pastors,
and the musical programs offered an
thems and songs OF Joyous thanksgiv-
Ing appropriate TO the festal season
OF Easter as marked in the calendar or
the Christian church.
The majority OF preachers set forth
the statement I'm their sermons trat
only the religion that has q literal
resurrection gives its followers a sense
or JOY In the prospect or immortality"
The Rev. Eugene Rodman Shipper. In
the First Unitarian church, differed
from this view and declared that the
story OF the resurrection OF Jesus
Christ Is allegorical and not Biblical
fact and history.

BREAD AS A VEHICLE FOR

baker who transmitted the infection

persons whom he did not see This
epidemic attached eleven persons and
caused four deaths. 1t was not re.
stricted to a single commune but ex-
tended 10 three at a distance OF from

was all the more surprising since

We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo
tations taken from the letters we have received from grateful women
whose health has been restored and suffering banished by Lydia E.

Why has Lydia 4. Ptnkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished
such a universal success? Why has it lived and thriyed and kept on
doing its glorious work among the sick women Of the world for more
than 80 years?
Simply and surely because Of its sterling worth. The reason no
other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and SIM

SHE DID NOT FEEL HER AGE
Swiss Woman Therefore Altered Fig
ures on Her Marriage Certifi-
cate and Was Fined.

1t seems IN outrage that a young
woman should be fined for under
stating her age, but this crime has
actually been committed in Switzer-
land. It is true that she changed
the figures on a marriage certificate,
but this only shows that she had the
courage of her convictions. Now, it
seems that in Switzerland even wom-
en- are forbidden to tamper with Of
fetal documents, and so the lady was
prosecuted in due form and fined 24
shilIings by a judge who ought to
have been recalled upon the spot.
The lady's defense was a good one.
The certificate stated her age was
twenty-nine, whereas we all know a
woman is no older than she feels, the
certificate was clearly a false and a
lying one, and so she changed the
figures in defense of public morals.
Nothing could be clearer, more con-
vincing or more logical, but the
iudge-a mere man-refused to look
at it hat way.
