to start questions and stimulate vague
hopes, like unto those which had been
destroyed. on Calvary.
The Stranger felt this mood, and
said to them: What manner of COM
munications' are these that ye have
one to another, as We walk and are
sad?" One Of them was so full of his
own thoughts and of the event that
had engrossed their attention that
he said In reply: art thou only a
stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not
known the things which are come to
pass there in these days?"
Soon the Stranger was opening up
to the two sad companions the treas
ure-house Of the Scriptures. They
were now near the village. It ap-
peared that their new comrade was
going straight on and away from
them. He had hidden them a good
evening. Something in them, how
ever, made it impossible for them to
let him CO. Something in him was
life and light, and it must not be
lost. The night was near: would he
not abide with them. Besides the
dictate Of hospitality thus expressed.
their hearts were speaking. He had
warmed into life the dearest hope they
ever had, and they thought 1t had per-
ished. A resurrection had already oc-
CURED to them. If they failed to hear
all that he had to say they might lose
everything.
As we read the gospel story we have
sense Of glad relief when we come
upon Luke's words: But they con-
strained him, saying, abide with us,
for It is toward evening, and the day
is far spent He went in to tarry
with them" Who has not expressed
the desire to have been there with
the three, az they sat at the evening
meal together? Was anything to re-
mind them of that Last Supper? AS
was customary, the guest had the
chief seat at the table. and he took
the bread, uttered the blessing and
gave 1t to them.
Then came their glad cry: 1T is
the Lord" Was 1t his touch upon
the bread SO like the touch upon the
bread and wine at the supper in the
upper room, where they saw him last
the Last Supper"-that made them
recognize him? Certainly he seems
to hint this, in the phrase which re-
calls the past. as he says: while T
was yet with you"
The lesson for us is to look for our
Lost Ideals, which are Risen Ideals.
in the very circumstances where they
were lost. Expect them to appear to
you and to me, in the mental mood
and tense which were yours and
mine. when we confessed to our hearts
that we had seen them betrayed and
forsaken. !

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

ASTER morning signifies forever
that our best ideal, even though
slain and buried by the enemies
- of all goodness, cannot be kept
in the grave. Cruelty Truth on
Calvary, and wound it to death; place
It in the strongest of sepulchres, and
set seal of stone, and Truth will
rise again. It is the history of every
Great Cause Of Goodness-first cruel
fixion. after being misunderstood and
mistreated; then entombment, and
then resurrection. The story of Jesus
death and resurrection is the per-
ennial symbol Of these things.
II your Cause, or your Truth, or
your Vision of Goodness has not done
much for you-has not won your love
and observation-disclosures 1t was slain, you
will not likely. recognize 1t when it has
proved itself superior to death.
Secondly, we will know our Lost
Cause when we get back to something
like the sad set Of circumstances in
which we lost the thing SO dear
There Is always a place where we
mentally lose our Christ-where we
spiritually recognize the tragedy OF
tho overwhelming Of cur adored Ideal.
II that adored Ideal is to have a
resurrection, and we are to know it,
AZ our Christ-that is, as the Power
In our life which saves us-we must
be ready to find Christ in the same
circumstances-at the same mental
crossroads where we lost him.
These disciples knew their tragic
loss at the Last Supper. Cruciaxion
and Easter followed. Easter Sunday
evening came, and some of the dis
ciples started out, perplexed and be-
wildered, on an eight-mile journey to
Emmaus, with a mysterious fellow
traveller. Their mood was like the

The story sent out from To
peka recently to the effect that
the administration would in the
future compel the old soldiers at
the State Soldiers Home, to wear
the same clothing as convicts
and the inmates of the insane
asylums, is utterly false. No
such plan has ever been thought
of or considered by the. Board,
and no such order has been made,
or will be made. The story was
concocted by reporter notorious
as false alarm" and was re-
printed by the Topeka Capital,

With no little regret, we must
this week record the departure
from this life, of one of our best
and most highly respected citi-
zens, Mrs. w. F. Casteen.
For some years the deceased
had been in poor health. A little
less than a year ago it was
thought that change of climate
would be beneficial and she was
taken TO Excelsior Springs, Mis-
souri,, where she has had as her
constant companions, her moth
er, her sister, her brother and
his family, and every minute
that her husband could possibly
spend with her. While her con-
dition was considered serious,
hope for her recovery was never
abandoned. The race with
Death was long drawn out one,
and it seemed at times that the
life of the patient sufferer might
be spared. A few days ago a
change was noted, and hope for
her recovery was for the first
time abandoned. On Friday,
November twenty-first, at nine
p. M, the end came.
The greater part of MRS,
Casteen's life was spent in
Meade. We need not now recall
her many excellent qualities, her
life has been lived among you,
and has been such as to be re-
mem bered long after the most
we might say will have been for
gotten.
The immediate relatives who
survive are:
Her husband, W: F. Casteen
her mother. Mrs. D. Gerow;.,o ,ops
fsister, Mrs. ~. X. Graves, ont
brother, r. S. Gerow, and !
number of other relatives and
friends.
The sympathy of Meade peo'
pie Is with the bereaved ones,
The remains we're LAID to rest
in Graceland Cemetery.

| Mrs. Mabel Gerow Casteer
was born May u, 1866, at Port
Huron, Mich, and died at Kan
sas City, Mo-, November 21,
1913. When five years of age
she moved with her parents to
Fulton, Mo-, and lived there five
years then moved to Macon, Mo-,
and lived there ten years coming
to Meade, Kansas, March 1886,
where she made her home until
her death. She was married to
w. f. Casteen, October 5, 1892.
She was converted at the age Of
IL years and united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church with
all of a Sunday School class unit
ing at the same time. AS long
as her health was good she was
faithful in all the church work,
teaching Sunday School Class
for many years. Her health
failed about five years ago and
she was compelled to give up
some of the work of life that was
dear to her, and during this time
she has battled with the help of
a kind husband and many doc
tors, for life and always had
some hope of regaining her
health, but her sickness was too
much for the skill OF men and
the Lord took her home.
The funeral service was con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. S. M.
Hunt, from the home she so
dearly loved. The flowers in
which the casket was literally
buried and the crowd that at
tended the funeral and followed
her remains to her grave spoke
most eloquently of the esteem in
which this good woman was held.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

For all the gracious gifts in harvest fair
In things material whose goodly share
Irichly prize;
For mans abundant wealth that lies in sight,
And for the sense of power and Of might
With which to meet foe, and fight and fight,
My thanks arise.
But for the richer gifts of Love and Peace
That bring the soul sense of sweet release
From pressing care;
For mercies shown; for greater growth of sou
For light when clouds of deadly dark uproll
To point the way to more lofty goal
Aud lead us there;
For broader human sympathy, for tears
OF Brotherhood TO ease anothers fears,
And cheer his way
For seeing eyes, and shoulders fit to bear
The burdens of our fellows in despair,
And right good will to help them in their care
When times gray;
For men of heart aud soul inclined
To honors of lowlier meeker kind
With grace endued;
Who seek all dire in justices to mend
To guide the hopeless to some hopeful end
Not this alone, but all my days spend
In gratitude!
