ON SUNLIGHT.

1t is astonishing how few people
there are who properly estimate the
hygienic value of the suns rays. A
valuable lesson on this point may be
learned by observing the lower ami
mails, none of which ever neglect an
opportunity to bask in the sun. And
the nearer man approaches to his
primitive condition the more he is in
clined to follow the example of ami
mails. 1t is a natural instinct which
civilization has partially DESTROYED in
the human race.
Sunlight is essential to life. If
by some terrible catastrophe the sun
was suddenly extinguished it is i'm
possible to conceive the misery that
would follow. In the event of such
a fearful calamity it would require
but a very short time to depopulate
the earth. 1t is questionable wheth-
err defective lighting is not product
i've of as much physical deterioration
in the crowded tenement districts as
defective ventilation. Certainly it is
only secondary in degree. Sunlight
is as free as it is necessary, and why
human beings endowed with reason
should attempt to exclude it from
their dwellings is a thing which
passes comprehension. Let there be
light" is as imperative now as when
the fiat went forth at the dawn of
creation.
We should not be afraid to let the
sunlight penetrate our dwellings, es-
pecially the morning sun. Thrifty
housewives are prone to regard the
action Of the suns rays on their in
terror decorations as disastrous in the
extreme, but its exclusion from their
dwellings is far more disastrous to
the health of the inmates. There is,
of course, a happy medium in all
things, and therefore, it is not neces-
sary to have the suns rays streaming
in every door and window during the
whole day; but the entire dwelling
should be, as far as possible, thrown
open to the health giving beams of
the sun for an hour in the morning!
This will, at the same time, thorough
ly ventilate the dwelling.
1t has been shown by exact re-
searches that the suns rays kill bac-
terra, and statistics have shown that
in sunny weather there are fewer in
f%ectious diseases, like influenza. than

If in u hymn books following the
passion songs, there vas no Easter
hymns; if in our new testaments fol-
lowing the history of Christ's suffer
ing there was no Easter gospel; if in
our churches following lent there was
no Easter festival, then our condition
would be sad indeed, and our entire
Christian life would be like a dark
night without the morning dawn; a
heart rending discord without an APP.
peasing final cord. But today, where
there are bells to ring, choirs to sing
lips to praise and hearts to rejoice,
there the Easter story is being told.
Now, is Christ risen from the dead and
has become the first fruits of them
that slept.
In order to know that our Lord real
ly did rise from the dead, we must
establish beyond a shadow of a doubt
that, he whom they took down from
the cross on Good Friday, vas really
dead. Perhaps, simply perhaps, he
merely tainted OF swooned away, then
there vas no resurrection for he sim.
ply recovered consciousness after an
interval, but the evangelists, each one
of them expressly state that he had
died and the wonder is not that he
did die after hanging on that cross for
three hours. But the wonder, the great
wonder is that he lived so long after
being cruelty tried by those soldiers
and the %populace at large. Suppose,
simply suppose that he did not die
would he have survived the lance
which was driven into his side by the
Roman soldiers? Out of that wound
there flowed what blood there yet re-
manned in his heart.
We are told that when the soldiers
came to the cross they did not break
his limbs. They broke the limbs OF
the W thieves, for they were not
dead, but when they came to Jesus
they did not break his limbs for he
was dead already. Surely these agents
of the Roman government would have
established beyond a shadow of a
doubt that he was dead ere they took
him down from that cross. But sup
pose simply, for argument sake that
he had not died. He would have been
s~uffocated by the embalming process
to which Joseph of Aramathea and
Nicodemus subjected his body; for
they rubbed yer his body 100 pounds
OF aloes and then they bound band
ages about his limbs, his hands, his
body, his head, and laid him in the
tomb.
The apostles had no hint of Easter
on Good Friday. 1t looked indeed, as
II his work had ended and his career
was finished and that he himself was
gone, gone out of their lives, gone into
death. gone into the grave, gone for
ever as far as sense could tell; but
on the morning of the third day he
arose and the faithful women who
went early to the sepulchre to anoint
his body with sweet spices, found the
tomb empty, and an angel stood there
and invited them to come and see
the place where the Lord lay" and
then commanded them to go and tell
His disciples and Peter" that he went
before the minto GalDee. Since then

The message of the hour is based
upon the words which are found in
the book of Job, fourteenth chapter
and fourteenth verse. IF a man die,
shall he live again?" Our subject is
Immortality the Great Hope IF a
man die, shall he live again." Can
the t ombbe broken? Is it all of life
to live? Does death end all? Is there
no life beyond the grave? Was the
Sadducee correct in his sneer at the
teachings of Jesus when he said. Eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow we
die If there was no Easter, we
would say yes, but the message of
Easter is now, has Christ risen from
the dead and become the first fruits
of them that slept. l will show you
the glory of Greece, said an ancient
to his friend, and so saying he took
him to Scion, the Spartan law given.
And is this all. asked the man? Yes,
replied the ancient, for when thou hast
seen Scion, thou hast seen all. Scion
made Greece what he thought Greece
became. He was a typical Grecian.
Christ is Christianity.
In his inspired sermon the Apostle
Paul says, l will show you Christ risen.
then, l will show you the Christian
risen in Christ. l will show you Christ,
the victor of the grave. Then, l will
show you the Christian victor through
Christ. He who sees Scion sees
Greece. He who sees Christ sees
Christianity and all the glorious hope
of immortality which Christ brings to
the human race. IF a man die, shall
he live again." Easter answers this
question in the affirmative.

Sunshine exercises a wonderful in
fluence over our mental condition
We often notice that on days when
there is no sunshine, especially when
at the same time, it is cold and damp
we feel depressed in spirit. On sun,
ny days, however, we feel better able
to work and to take outdoor exercise.
Particularly in old age is sunshine
precious. We see our old house dog
or cat lying in the sunshine and tax.

stinct tells old people that the sun
is good for them and thus they eager.
ly watch for it to shine and like to
sit in it, especially on cold days.
The effect of sunlight is not mere.
ly to warm and raise the heat Of the
body; its rays have chemical and
electric functions also. When we are
exposed to the sunlight for a long
time and get an inflamed skin, this
is due mainly to the chemical rays.
The relief which strong sunlight af-
fords neuralgia and inflammatory
pain is due, likewise, to it's chemical
action.
The ancient Romans made use of
the healing action of sunshine and
many of them took sunbaths on the
roofs Of their houses. There we're
! also public sun baths much visited by
the population.
Exposure to the sun for a certain
length of tiTe causes dilation of the
blood vessels, and later on, abundant
perspiration. This not only stimulates
the skin but relieves the kidneys. The
quality of the blood is also improved
by the action of sunlight upon the
body.
Not only persons in good health but
particularly those suffering from ner-
vous diseases and insomnia, rheuma-
tism, and the chilliness which is the
result Of sluggish circulation, will be
greatly benefited by frequent sun
baths.
Sunshine is a finer stimulus than
wine, electricity or massage, and not
withstanding the high estimate we
have learned to place upon its reju-
venating and healing powers, we are
even now on the verge of greater dis
coveries concerning it.
