TRADE IS GAINING.
But Sun Trails Behind Optimistic
Sentiment.

New York. Feb. 12.-Bradstreet's
Review this week says: Gains in
trade continue of a small though cum
ulative character with actual improve
ment still trailing behind optimistic
sentiment.
Likewise, industries, notably iron
and steel. coke, textiles and autOmo-
bile manufacturing are rounding into
better shape, but concededly at a low
pace, and in consequence unemploy-
ment. the proportions of which have
probably been over exaggerated by
many. is giving way to increased en-
ployment and larger pay rolls.
While cereal farmers have profited
from high prices for wheat, they do
not display unwonted activity in pur-
chasing goods and the volume of bust
ness coming from that source, rela-
lively good though it is. hardly fulfills
highly keyed anticipations.
Wheat exports for the week end
ing Feb. IL. were 9.70S,55O bushels,
against 4,O92. 408 bushels year ago.

HEARD Qu|NDARO MUSIC
House and Senate Took 30 Minute
Recess to Hear Entertainers.

The house and senate took an hour
and a half off Thursday afternoon to
listen to the Western University band
and glee club. It was the biennial
visit of the Quindaro schools mu-
steal talent and the visits have become
one Of the real entertainment features
of the legislative sessions.
Possibly Western university has won
more real favor with the legislature
through its band and glee club than
through any one other department.
Time after time the glee club has sung

sands Of dollars Of state money and
the school has increased its standing

Of q few years ago, w. T. Vernon was

the legislature usually threw up both
hands and asked the school what it
wanted-and got it. For two iegis-
lative sessions. Vernon has been miss
ing. So a little more responsibility
falls on the band and glee club.
This year the band and glee club
are well up to the standard of the
school. For an hour the legislative
members, state officials. state house
employees and visitors listened to a
high class musical program. Repre-
sentative hall was packed and both
houses took a recess during the enter
tainment, which spoke for the school
as highly as the accomplished Vernon
of former years.

stays of the r. r. Y. basketball team
for the past five years. Also, they are
crack baseball players and are all
around men on a gym floor, being ex-
perts on the mats and with all kinds
of apparatus.
Herring has played baseball with
the Topeka city league, and with Keo-

These two men are not the only

salaries as such if they wished to take

The High Tide of Easter.

Shadow and sunlight, ebb and
flood, mourning and rejoicing are not
more opposite than the subdued and
sorrowful mood befitting Lent and
the triumphant gladness of Easter.
AS Good Friday is the solemn pass
ing, recalls to us the day when the
darkness of the cross made the sun
ashamed to shine, so Easter Sunday,
with a supreme radiance, indicates
the hour that is the coronation of
humanity. Jew and Roman COM
bined in the crucifixion of Him who
came to save, but they could have
had no power against Him had He
not willingly offered Himself to atone
for the sins of the world. Il am the
Good Shepherd" He said; 81 lay
down My life for the sheep. 1 have
power to lay it down and have
power to take it again" No mere
man could have made that assertion.
Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut His glories in,
When God, the mighty maker, died
For man, the creatures sin.

Unpretending Obsequies.

While Easter reminds us of the
resurrection, it may benefit us to
call fresh to memory a few facts re-
garding the burial of the Son of God.
Joseph that day was mourner, SEX
ton, liveryman-had the entire
charge OF all the occasion. Four peo-
pie only at the burial of the King of
the Universe. Let this be consolatory
to those who, through small means
or lack of large acquaintance, have
but little demonstration of grief at
the grave Of their dead; it is notnec-
essary. Long lines of glittering
equipment, two rows of silver han
dies, casket of costly wood, pallbear-
ers scarfed and gloved, are not nee
essary,
Christ looks down from heaven at
a burial where there are six in at
tendance and remembers there are
two more than He had at His obse-
quies. Not recognizing this idea
how many small properties are scat
tered in the funeral rites, and widow
hood and orphanage go out to the
cold charity of the world. The de.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
The Glorious Day.

Easter is the emancipation ami
versary of the Christian world-the
one day of all the year, next to the
advent that is the most glorious and
worthy of signal remembrance. 1t
brings with it new inspiration of
faith in God and of perfect assurance
in His love for the children of men.
Every swelling bud and sprouting
leaf reminds us that the life which
conquers death in natures realm has
its parallel in the Resurrection-tha
great central fact of Christianity-in
which we have the assurance of our
spiritual revivification. Christ in us
becomes the vitalizing force which
lifts us from the darkness of sin and
death into light and life everlasting.
This old world of our needs more
Easter cheer. 1t needs to realize that
the risen Christ and the empty tomb
have for the whole race a grander
and higher significance than any 9TH
er event since time began. 1t needs
to grasp the imperishable truth that,
when the Son of God burst the bars
of death and the grave He revealed
the way of life eternal to all who ac-
cept Him and follow His footsteps.
His resurrection was the divine
pledge of our own, and the soul that
rests upon Him has already risen
from the deadness of sin and began
the life everlasting. For such, the
grave is not an abiding place, but the
vestibule of the greater and nobler
life beyond.
Therefore, at this joyous Easter
time, when all nature is rejoicing, let
our hearts join in the songs of praise
and gladness. Around us we see the
woods adorning themselves with the
living green and the air is resonant
with the song of birds. Over all the
earth, wherever the name of Jesus is
known, it is the glad emancipation
time.
