These things are part of the

nor annoyed by them. They be-

The old Roman emperor saw
the cross in the sky as the sign

Wants Nomination
A close personal friend of
Roosevelt, who was with him on
his recent tour, says that the
colonel wants the nomination this
year more than he ever wanted
anything in all his fife. In view
OF the extraordinary promises of
support he has had from strange,
weird sources, he is dead sure he
is going to get it.
Possibly when the convention
is over he may be interested in

says that if the regular republi-

Hughes the progressives would &C

He didn't say this for publica-

peace.
And Yet It's True!
But If / should give the name
of the progressive leader that said
this he would instantly deny that
he ever said 1t, or thought of say
ing it.
He would say these things with
solemn imprecations and loud
noise as II he himself believed in
his denial.
And he would denounce me
seven ways as a liar and a low
person, and all the other politi-
clans that knew he said that
thing would also deny it and de-
nounce me, because / should be

1t was the first day this year that it
felt comfortable in the shade. 1t
was stupid and hot down to Sunday,
but q thunder cloud in the night
brought something cooler.
They do say that all springs have
certain characteristics. 1t seems to
US that this one, of 1916, has had
more of 'em than we have ever no
ticed before.
1t has kept you guessing whether
to take 'em of or leave 'em on, and
eithed way you've been sorry.
1t has made you pay a coal bill on
Monday, an ice bill on Wednesday
and then begin all over again on
Friday.
The fundamental elements of heat
and cold have played tag with each
other until you can't tell whether
winter is coming or going. One day
you could sympathize with the spring
poet, who sings of the birds and
bees, of the flowers and trees, of the
bright sunshine and the balmy
breeze, and the next day you'd chase
him OF the block If he even mention
ed such a thing. 1t certainly hal
been some spring. But we all hav'
hopes of seeing it thru.

Rural School Notes
BY CLYDE JOHNSON.

l have just finished looking over
the papers written by the pupils of
go different schools in the county in
April. There were 29S different pu-
pills and they wrote 1,64S papers. The
pupils generally found these ques-
tions little bit difncult. 1 think the
main reason for this is that the ques-
tions were not so much a test of the
pupils memory of the text book but
rather test of their ability to apply
the knowledge gained to everyday
practical questions. A test of their
reasoning ability, of whether they
are thinking, is developing their
memory powers instead of depending
solely on their memory to carry
them thru. If the teachers are let
ting things take their course, if they
have not learned for themselves the
Importance of knowing the why and
the wherefore, If they do not go to
the bottom of things and see the re-
lation of cause and effect, then it is
easy to foresee that their pupils will
not develop their reasoning powers
and will miserably fail.

"OLIyET TO CALVARY" TO BE
SUNG IN KENSINGT0N
Maunders' Cantata to Be Given at
Emmanuel

Maunder's sacred Cantata, "Olivet to
Calvary" will be sung tonight at the EN-
manuel Episcopal Church, Marlborough
street and Girard avenue. The Rev. Il.
G. Knight is rector of the church.
Forty members of the vested choir, as
sisted by Miss Jean MacCreght, soprano !;
Schnabel, basso. and Robert S. Kennedy,
tenor, solists, will take part in the cam
tata. Joseph Waldman, Jr,, organist
and director and his assistant, DR.. A. IL.
Heffenstein, who have been training the
young people, will direct the cantata.
The story of "Olivet to Calvary" ac-
cording to the preface to the cantata, re-
calls reverently the scenes which mark
the last few days of the Saviours life on
earth and some Of the reflections sug
gested by It, The rejoicing of the multi
tude with hosannas and psalms, the view
of Jerusalem from the steep of Olivet,
the lament over the beautiful city, tho
scene in the Temple and the lonely walk
back over the mountain at night form
the chief features of the first part.
Part two opens with the supper of the
Passover, at which Jesus washed His
Disciples feet and gives His friends the
new commandment of love for one another
as the sign of true disclpleship. From
this the scene passes to the infinite pathos
of the Garden of Gethsemane, the sudden
appearance of the hostile crowd, Jesus
forsaken by His disciples, His utter lone
illness among the ruthless foes, the tumult
before PLATE in the Judgment Hall. the
passage of the Cross, the tragedy and the
triumph of Calvary.

POWER OF THE CROSS, THEME
OF MONDAY LENTEN TALK
DR.. Washburn Defines the Real Rorces
of Christianity

The Stop, Look and Listen of Good
Friday should save us men and our
times" said the Rev. DIR. washburn who
spoke today at the noon-day Lenten SER
vices at Old Christ Church, Cd street
above Market. DR.. washburn took for
his test, Corinthians 1-23 we preach
Christ crucifed, unto them which are
called the power of God and the wisdom
of God"
Unworthy conceptions of God under
mine religion. he said. False sense of
values weaken character. Christ was
crucifled for the salvation of men. All
the mighty. inexhaustible, available dy-
namics of the moral and spiritual realms
center in and radlate from the Cross.
Tho big, powerful things of the material,
mechanical world are puny in comparison.
The ideals, motives, points of view and all
the invisible forces that control and WELD
persons and masses, as a giant handles
his tools, flow from the regnant King of
Calvary; and because the individual is
grlpped and turned about and impelled
on new course by Him who hangs there.
The reach and grasp of tho Crucified is
measureless let 1t find you and me to-
day.

"It is finished The sixth word of our

Miller, "and the holy Of holy lies open to

of deeds. of works that we can do Our
sins are eXpiated. There is no other
merit, no other satisfaction, no other hope
than this Of which He tells us, once for
all, It is Finished His redemption was
finished. To accept the finished work of
Christ, the complete redemption is to live
in Him forever.

on many tables today hot cross buns
were the chief article of food This was
especially true in homes that mark Good
Friday by fasting.
The custom OF eating the buns on Good
Friday Is said TO have originated in Eng
land many years ago. The bun originally
was rather small, unusually spiced, and
It's brown sugary surface was marked
with a cross.
Thousands of poor children and old
people I'm England used to make 1t GUS
tom to distribute the buns to those who
were even poorer than themselves. Poor,
indeed. were they who could not afford
the buns. After the distribution they at
tended church services.
Those who make the buns in this coun-
try do not follow the recipe used abroad.
In most cases the buns contain nothing
but currants, though they have the cross
on the top.

GARRICK THEATRE MEETING
Rev. H. Percy Silver breaches on the
Crucifixion

Man lifted Christ to the cross" said
the Rev. II. Percy Silver today in speak
ing on the Crucifxion at the MONDAY Len
ten service In the Garrlck Theatre.
The speaker declared that man needed
to be lifted up where he could see. I'VE
in faith should raise ourselves on the
cross and look at life with the eyes of
the Master. We should not be self-cen-
tred but should be able to comprehend
the laws of God.
God has hard time making people
understand" he said. I'VE find God
speaks in ceremonies and Jesus in para
bles to make people see the vision of life
and catch the purpose of existence. God
lifts man up to the cross in order that
he may see the vision, even on his DEATH
bed"
