May Get Together Upon Cere-
monies.

Jacksonville, Ind.-Some of the six
justices Of the peace Of Jefferson, who
fight among themselves for marriage
couples" are proposing combination
whereby all six would establish cen
trail marrying parlors and would pool
and divide equally all their earnings.
The chief benefit would be the
elimination OF the runners" with
whom the Justices now split their fees,
which only in exceptional cases
amount to more than So. One result
of the competition has been the cut
ting Of fees. Many clipping couples
now get married for 81. Secret we'd

little more. and $25 fee shows up

..-- 800! 70 remember. Let US re-
lnlnd ourselves that Jesus would not
nave us put away all signs of those
gone out OF sight; that he would not
nave us live as though they had
never been with us. They are not
dead; they are just away" This ia
one stone rolled away from our
sepulchers. o..
Here we desire to do many things
which the limitations of the flesh
prevent. But when the fleshly limi.
tation Is removed our love. our mem
ory, our aspiration, our results of rich
experience, all those real qualities
which make us ourselves, are free to

ducements to spiritual life now Is
this fact that we are making here our
status there. Death is the commence
ment Of greater effectiveness for life.
That stone is rolled away from our
sepulchers.
1t is also true that Christ gave
ground for believing that our loved
ones gone are still with US. He told
his disciples that where they were,
there he would be in the midst OF
them. He spoke of home he had
gone to prepare and of coming to take
them to it. Enframe this as one may.
the picture is the same-reunion with
the loved ones gone. You come home
from trip abroad. As you draw near
the pier the hands of loved ones wave
to you, the steamer ties up to her
wharf and you are again in the arms
Of those so dear So it is at death.
You have been long away from those
at home, but the vessel that has car
ried you-your body-ties up some
day to the little green wharf on some
quiet hillside and you again are with
your dear ones.
There rolls the last stone away.

GERANIUMS ORNAMENTAL

Beds OF geraniums are exceedingly
ornamental, provided they are kept
in tidy condition. This can be done
by keeping all flower trusses picked
off. If the faded flowers are allowed
to remain know of no plant that can
take on more unsightly, slovenly
look.
OF course all the buds in a truss
do not develop at the same time, and
one does not like to destroy undevel-
oped flowers, but the clusters can be
made to look clean and attractive by
pulling away from them all flowers
that have passed their prime and
taken on that draggled look which so
detracts from the slightly appearance
of everything else in the bed.
Unless one has great number OF
plants this can be done in a short
time.
It viii be found much easier than
going over the bed and cutting out
all the faded flowers as Is sometimes
advised.

pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up In victory.
O death, where is thy sting? o grave,

the Christ, nailed to the Cross on that
far distant day, turning to the
thief beside him cried: To-day shalt
thou be with me in paradise" he was
opening the door of heaven to all the

bodily casket and sets the soul free
to find glory, perfect life, perfect nap
piness in some fair haven of God.
And we vex our souls with wonder
ing where that haven may be. we

we understand with a knowledge
born of God that we have caught
tune from the heavenly choir, and

and spotless, pushes its way from the
dark earth and unfolds into glorious
life, so one day, from out all these
