As they drew near to the lily senti- neled tomb, the one who walked ahead raised her eyes, dark with pain, to the open doorway, and quick wonder light ed their depths. and she turned, WhiS- pering: An! Mary Magdalene, the stone already is rolled away, He hath done this thing"
 With eager steps they left the grow ing day and entered the darkened sep ulcher, B'', us they went they saw two angels seated at the tomb, two men with strong, glorificd faces and glad, bright eyes, and their robes were bright as if the sunlight were shining through, The two Marys paused, star tied, awcd by the great light.
 Then the mother of Christ knelt low and wept, but q voice thrillingly ten der called to her saying, "Woman, why weepest thOu?"
 And she lifted her eyes at the words and answered softly, Because they have taken away my Lord, and know not where they have laid him."
 But the voice came again, glad and full of rejoicing: Fear not ye, for l know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here for he is risen.'
 Wondering. the mother gazed, her starry eyes searching the frightened sepulcher Then she rose and walked with Mary Magdalene from the place.
 Descending the path in the golden sunlight, her gray robes brushed against the upliftel flowers, dew fiecked. wondrOus sweet, Stopping. she bent her head to the shining lilies. Live" she murmured, ''as expression of the divine beauty of the Son of Man, as examples of his wOndrOus mercy and boundless love and as the symbol of his resurrection. Hence forth you shall be the flower of purity and spiritual beauty of the holy Easter day. of the great new life which floods the earth through the power of the Son of God, Gray in Phlladel phi;t North Amcl'icAu.

in uniform, as many tots who have an unfortunate fear of policemen have been known in times past to be fright ened by the bandsmen in blue and brass buttons. A picturesque darky, with 8 banjo, will eliminate all danger of howls at this party,
 After the dancing "GOing to Jerusa- lem" will be played for a short time, ending with a cakewalk, the children in pairs. headed toward the dining room. Judges at the door will be on the watch for the cleverest performers, to whom, of course, prizes will have 10 be awarded later
 The supper's the thing, always, at 8 child's party, and will be here also. There are to be five tables, each seat ing twenty children, and the spaces be- tween the tables will be transformed into green fields and barnyards. Large toy horses will be pastured there, as well as real live goats borrowed from the farms in the neighborhood of this country house. Milking stools will be placed for seats around the low tables, which are to be built especially for the party. The enormous glass <inclOsed piazza adjoining the dining room will De used for some of the tables, so that they need not be too close together. In far corners under small cedar trees will be coops with real hens and tiny chickens. Real ducks will be swim ming in the basin of the fountain at the cOnservatOry's end. Canary birds will be let loose, and it is hoped they will fly about and sing. The only ani- malS not real will be the toy horses and make believe COW cleverly manu- factured from rugs and horn rack.
 The five tables will be decorated with Easter animals, though here no attempt is to be made to have them alive. At the center of one table a large papier mache rabbit will hold q large pink candy egg filled with pres cntS for every child at the party, and at each plate will be a wee rabbit to match, with a chocolate egg to eat The second table will have a lovely fat hen ill big sugar nest, with wee candy chickens in groups near her and also one at each childs plate, standing on place card. The third will have duck on q mirror, edgel around with green spun sugar and looking just like a tiny pool of water. Twenty small candy ducks will be in the pool. and each one will be tied to a spoon in front of child's place, so that it will sail toward him when the string is pulled. A spun sugar nest containing candy eggs will be at each place. The fourth table will have another mirror lake with sugar grass at the edges and candy frogs and Japanese dragon flies disporting themselves upon it. A pep permint snake will be at each plate to feed the candy frogs with. The fifth table will have an Uncle Remus group. There will be a tar baby, with Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, and at each plate will be chocolate turtles.
 The supper itself will be simple, in- cluding creamed chicken, sandwiches and ices. The latter will be in the shape of little chickens, and the cakes. will be egg shaped, with frosting in different colors. After supper a little more dancing will be allowed, prizes awarded and animal souvenirs distrib- uted. A feature of the party will be the bringing in of basketful of Easter eggs to be distributed.

T no time except at Christmas Is the world so happy as at
 Easter. The universal ob-
 servance of these two festi- yals is a witness to the vitality and power of the truths for which they stand. The Christmas truth is that God has revealed himself in human life; Easter expresses our assurance of immortality.
 These truths in combination and the consequences that follow from their acceptance may be said to equal the sum total of human happiness. Ban- ish brotherhood and the result Is so- cial chaos. Conceive of death as the end-all and we are of all creatures the most miserable.
 It is true that here and there brave man marches breast forward. doubting whether, after all, there Is here after, yet grimly determined to play at all hazards noble part. All honor to him, but his philosophy will not suffice for the rest of us.
 eff the dead rise not" most of us will say, 'let us eat and drink, for to- morrow we die" We crave certainty as to the future, and nothing but such a certainty can influence our present conduct. In the search for certainty some of us are able to find in the voice of authority the assurance that we need.
 Some of us can hope so intensely for immortality that we give substance to the thing we hope for, and this be- comes our faith. Others of us, how ever, cannot believe merely because we are bidden to believe or because we wish to do so. We are eager of as- surance, but to be satisfying it must be a reasonable assurance.

~ OSIIY dawncd the day in the
 far east. On the shore the cool
 waves broke gently, 1uttering
 foamy drops on the yellow sand. Away from the water among the rocky stretches of green, lilies bloomed slender and tall, white with cups cury- ing to catch the errant little breeze which carried their sweetness beyond the hills. In the stony crevices wild flowers glinted out from dew wet leaves. Half hidden by pale lily blooms, dark stone guarded the entrance to a cave among he rocks.
 Early in the dawning Sabbath glow, two women. gentle voiced and sorrow ing, came slowly down the lowered path, bearing in their arms perfumed napkins and precious spices in carved bc,Xes. They were clad in flowing gray garments and their heads were bent in meek weeping.

CatarrhaI Deafness Cannot Re Cnred

by local applications as they cannot reach only one way to cure catarrhal deafness. and that ts by constitutional remedy.

Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal cOnditions hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Halrs Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
