EASTER THOUGHTS.

Hope is wonderful word. Paul wrote
that it was one of the three graces that
should abide forever. With faith and love,
hope shall have a glorious immortality.
And Paul says that Christ is our hope.
Christ is our hope of forgiveness for our
SINS In His face we may see the divine
love and in His voice we may hear the
divine mercy.
Christ is our hope for purity. He is
without spot or blemish. He came and
lived in the midst of our earthly life. He
walked among sorrowing and SHINING men
and women. He did not hold himself aloot
from them. He talked with them. He
lived with them. He entered with greatest
kindness and sympathy into all the cir
cumstances of their lives. And yet, from
His crib in the manger of Bethlehem to the
cross where He died on Calvary, not one
single blot of sin chung to His white soul.
His was pure and holy life. How did he
do it? The answer is simple. God was in
Him and with Him. So completely was
the divine presence with Jesus Christ and
so perfectly was His heart possessed by
love that sin fell away from him, unable to
gain an entrance. And so Christ is oul
hope of purity. Not only that through
Him we may be clensed of the deflemen1
of sin, but that through the same divine
love and presence of God in our hearts We
may come into that perfect love where We
shall live purely and without offence.
Christ is our hope of Immortality. Ht
has given reality to the hope of heaven ane
eternal life. This hope buoys men ane
women to make sacrifices and to endure
great hardships, and all gladly, feeling
that ''the light affliction,' which is onl.
temporary, is working for them "a ia
more exceeding and eternal weight O
glory Christ is an unchanging hope
There is no other hope like that. Man,
of the hopes that furnish US the larg
part Of our gladness and encouragement
in childhood have vanished ere youth ha
passed The hopes that buoy US throug
that plastic era of young manhood an
young womanhood are often scattered an
dispelled when once the school days ar
left behind and the stern realities of life
mature years come on. And the hopes c
the monday, the dreams of middle lif
when resting under the trees of life's hig
noon, where are they? The hopes that me
have at such a time for quiet afternoo
of life, for gentle setting of the sun,
twilight without labor and without anxiety
how often these are lost in the great strug
gle which is like tempeutous sea. B,
through all the changing scenes of huma
life there is one hope that can run like
golden thread, binding life's seasons a
together, and binding all to God and heav
en-. That hope is Jesus Christ.

Deuteronomy.

And the Lord thy God will bring thee
into the land which thy fathers possessed,
and thou shalt possess it.; and he will do
thee good, and multiply thee above thy
fathers.-xxx, 5.
And shalt return unto the Lord thy God,
and shalt obey his voice according to all
that command thee this day, thou and all
thy children, with all thine heart, and with
all thine soul.-xxx, 2.
Gather the people together, men and
women, and children, and thy stranger that
is within thy gates, that they may hear,
and that they may learn, and fear the Lord
your God, and observe to do all the words
of this law.-xxxi, II.
| And it shall come to pass, that as the
Lord rejoiced over you to do you good,
and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice
over you to destroy you, and to bring you
to nought; and ye shall be plucked from
off the land whittier thou goest to possess
it.-xxviii, So.
The stranger that is within thee shall
get up above thee very high; and thou
shalt come down very low. He shall lend
to thee and thou shalt not lend to him: he
shall be the head, and thou shalt be the
tall Moreover all these curses shall come
upon thee, and shall pursue thee and over
take thee, till thou be destroyed; because
thou harkenedst not unto the voice of the
Lord thy God, to keep his commandments
and his statutes which he commanded thee
Because thou servest not the Lord thy
God with joyfulness, and with gladness Of
heart, for the abundance of all things
therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies
which the Lord shall send against thee, il
hunger and thirst, and in nakedness, anc
in want OF all things: and he shall put 8
yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have
destroyed thee.-xxviii, 42-45, 47-48.

HOLY WEEK.

This is the most solemn week in the
Christian year-the week wherein orthodox
Christianity commentaries with fitting
services and ceremonies the passion and
death of Jesus Christ.
From day to day until Friday, there is
pictured to men in may churches the clos
ing scene in that most wonderful of all
lives ever lived-that life which has altered
the course of time and remodeled mankind.
Tomorrow comes the climax-the cruci
fixion on Calvary. And during these SYM
bolic days the faithful will withdraw from
the usual round of social activities, and
with prayer and fasting seek that cemmun-
ion of the spirit without which no life can
reach the true summit of its best POSSIBLE
tiles.
1t would be we'll for the whole world if
Holy Week were generally observed.
Aside from any question of belief, it would
be q splendid thing for men and women
everywhere to devote at least one week to
spiritual inspection.
The life of Christ is the prime personal
influence in civilization. 1t is the central
light of right progress. 1t is the sun, and
like that orb Of day, it's brightness should
be admitted as sufficient without the con
junction of a multitude of lesser lumina-
ries insignificant in comparison.
The life of Christ presents an admiral BILE
scheme of existence in many particulars
peculiarly so because in many of its salient
features it is applicable to the lives of hui
manity at this day. He spent long years
in preparing for his work. He was conten
to wait until he was prepared before seek.
ing the goal. He did not rush headlong
into the effort
Thirty years he planned, and in three
years he brought to sublime elimination
his plans. Even during these three year
of activity he withdrew from the worlt
time and time again.
And we should once in while Withdraw
from the hustle and hustle and confusion
that SO surroud US on every side. We, too
should seek the seclusion of rest and quiet
so that we may the better contemplate tn
things of the spirit. Ask yourself how
is with the spirit, the highest and mos
divine part of the being. Look life squar
in the face and see how we'll you are living
up to the proper ideals. Take stock spirit
ually, as it were, and you will receive
measure of benefit beyond your fondes
hopes, and measure of strength for tn
work that is yet to come. "Come yeyour
selves apart awhile

There are many temptations before
public men today. Corporations and
individuals are seeking special favors.
Never has there been a time when
men of incorruptible morals were in

is honeycombed with big business
and the struggle for supremacy be-
tween corporations is intense. So

TAMMANY MUST BE DESTROYED.

It is pleasing to note that members
of various Independent democratic
clubs and societies who are discussing
Tammany do not speak Of its reforma-
ton. They contemplate its destruc-
ton.
BY this, of course, they mean its de-
struction as the democratic organiza-
ton. Tammany as Tammany is In no.
body's way. Confined to its own
proper activities, Tammany would be
as harmless as the Old Guard. 1t is
the Tammany bossism Of the demo-
cratic party that must be destroyed.
If the democratic organization in
New York city and State can be sep
arated from Tammany, no one need
worry about the future activities OF
the wig-wam. They may be social
cornwall, patriotic, literary. pugilistic
or charitable, but there is no more
reason why they should be dominating
democratic than that the energies OF
the Order of the Cincinnati should be
expended upon debating the rulings
of the United States supreme court.
To rehablitate the democracy o.
New York City and State is automat
ically to destroy Tammany. Although
the problem is simple, its solution calls
for courage and determination OF ;
