OF civilization and Christianity. He

copai church to be held in st. Louis
this month.
81 find myself dreaming of the won
derous things which might come to
pass he said, elf these two churches
nay, these two nations, your and mine,
which are SO closely allied in race and
language and sentiment, agreed to
work together in head and heart and
hand for the nobler side of civilization,

eiples of faith and conduct which are
found in the teaching of our Lord Je-
sus Christ

WAR SUMMARY

Successful resumption by the Russians of
their offensive in Galicia draws attention
to the eastern war theatcr, in which the
operations have been of comparatively
small importance since Gen. Brussiloff' S
drive for Lemberg was held up. Berlin
and Vienna concede that advantages
have been gained by the Russians, who are
attacking from both the northeast and the
southeast
On the southeastern front in Macedonia
the British have maintained the advance
gained Saturday, beating off the Bulgarin
counter attacks, according to London to-
day
Recent operations by the French along
the Sommc front appear to have been
mostly in the nature of minor attacks
probably preparatory to some larger move
mcnts in the Peronne region, while the
British main efforts have been directed
towards Bapaume along the road from
Posicres, where their advance on front
OF more than a mile and half, was an
nounced 10y London today.

Resurrection Of Jesus Meant
the Unfolding of the Purest
Things of Life.

NNHEN the angel pointed to the
w stone rolled away from the
door Of the sepulcher and invited in.
spection of the empty tomb, what
magnificent allegory for life was writ
ten to the scrolls of humanity! Life
is lived in action, say they who lay
emphasis upon the strenuous life. But
what action? The action OF the ideal
the action of the parable of human ex-
istence. Erase the parallels of beau.
ty and love and of love and service
from the experiences of mortals, and
religion vanishes and life loses its
appeals to the higher aspirations and
life's service becomes sordid and un-
worthy. The allegory of the empty
tomb is the tremendous contribution
of the resurrection to the life of hui
manity. Il is inspiring to dwell upon
a risen Lord. 1t is even more inspir.
ing to dwell upon a risen life-the
aggregate life of hoping and strug-
Cling and effortful humanity. Civ.
iliZation sits at the tomb of the divin-
est Of men and with its mystical loom
1t weaves into the resurrection of
Jesus the theme of advance and un
folding of the purest things of human
life.
The dark fates that had cut the
thread of the mortal life Of the one
who served a brief ministry Of word
and deed among his fellows, at the
same time released the mechanism of
almightiness. The human passed that
the divine might be revealed. The
mortal was lost in the immortal The
world has attestation to the limitless.
ness Of life and therefore the illimit,
able reach Of the divinest Of it's aspi.
rations and endeavors. The risen
Christ is adored because he is risen.
Had he simply suffered he would
have been pathetic. Emo bling as
suffering is in triumph, it is useless
in defeat. Jesus Christ did not sim.
ply suffer-he triumphed. This is the
need of the ages and of all time and
of all life. 1t is needful for men that
they shall triumph over the deadening
facts of materiality. It is necessary
that they shall triumph over the
