The First Easter Day.
John 20: lilo

IOlln Ius l-lu.
The first day OF The week cometh Mary
Magdaeue early, when il was YET dark,
unto the sepulcher, and seeth the stone
taken away from the sepulcher.
Then she runnelh, and cometh to ST.
mon Peter and TO The other disciple, whom
Iesus loved, and saith unto them, They
have taken away the Lord out of the sep
ulcher, and we know not where they
have laid him.
Peter therefore went forth, and that
other disciple, and came unto the sepul-
cher.
So they ran both together: and the 9TH
er disciple did outrun Peter, and came
first TO the sepulcher.
And he STOPPING down, and looking in,
saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he
not in.
Then cometh Simon Peter following
him, and went into the sepulcher, and
seeth the linen clothes lie.
And the napkin that was about his
head, not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped in place by itself.
Then came in that other disciple. which
came first TO the sepulcher, and he saw,
and believed.
For as yet they knew not the Scripture,
that he must rise again from the dead.
Then the disciples went away again
unto their own home.
But Mary stood within at the sepul-
cher weeping: and as she wept, she
stopped down and looked into the sepul-
cher.
And seeth two angels Sitting, the one
at the head, the other at the feet, where
the body OF Jesus had lain.
And they say unto her, Woman. why
weepest thou2 She saith unto them, Be-
cause they have taken away my Lord, and
know not where they have laid him.
And when she had thus said, she turn
ed herself back, and saw Jesus standing
and knew not that II was Jesus.
Iesus saith unto her, Woman. why
weepest thou2 whom seekest thou? She,
supposing him TO be the gardener, saith
unto him, Sir, il thou have borne hin
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him.
and will take him away.
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turn
ed herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni

Clotilda paused second for Miss Shell

"Then there's Beatrice Pemberton-l

A Useful Man.

Some wears ago an Englishman met a
party OF American settlers iourneying
westward, and got into conversation with
the leader. an eminently practical man.
1--WE only brought useful people
along" said the leader. "For instance,
that big man over there is our black
smith, the man next 10 him is our baker,
and so on"
But" said the Englishman, "that
very old fellow-surely he can't be OF
much use TO you"
"Oh, yes he is" was the reply. That's
grandfather. We shall open our new
cemetery with him."

Legend OF The Tiger Lily.

Among the Christian legends OF the lily
we find the origin Of the tiger or turneap
lily. All lilies were in the beginning
white and ali held their fair heads proudly
erect, but on the night in which Christ
suffered in the garden Of Gethsemane
some fell from grace. When the other
flowers became aware OF his agony, they
wiihered away with sorrow and pity.
Only one lily was indifferent, and when
those three bitter hours had passed. still
Haunted her spotless beauty in the light
OF the moon. The soldiers came, and as
Iesus was led out from the garden OF Oh
ives he paused for moment beside the
tall stem covered with tie white flowers;
for moment he gazed on them In pity
ing reproach for their blindness OF heart,
and touched by the love and mercy In his
eyes they hung their heads and olushed;
so, 10 this hour, the descendants OF this
proud plant look down, and shame dyes
their petals.
From the middle ages comes another
religious legend OF the lily. There was
once, we read. a great monastery In the
northern Pyrenees where the monks de-
voted their lives TO study and 10 charity.
And il came 10 pass that one day they
found woman dead on the slope OF the
hills. with little baby boy clasped. still
sleeping, in her arms. Filled with pity,
they took the child home 10 the abbey
and gave him the tenderest care. Years
went by and the baby grew TO be big,
strong boy, fair OF face and form, child
like. innocent and sweet, but no labor,
either on his own part or his teachers,
could enable him TO learn. Even The
PRAYERS and psalms which he had heard
from his infancy seemed 10 make no i'm
preston on his mind, but ever on his
lips were these three CALCULATIONS ~
believe in God hope in God ] love
Godp Over and over he would repeat
the words and the monks smiled indul-
gently as they heard his voice chanting
over his three simple prayers while he
lay beneath a tree on the hillside watch
ing his sheep, or toiled, as he loved 10 toll,
among the flowers in the walled garden.
But one day an unusual stiffness was
noted. and going out 10 inquire the cause
the, found the body OF the lad lying amid
the roses, with a strangely wise smile on
his still lips. The monastery seemed
very empty and lonely TO The monks when
the boy was laid 10 rest In the bare little
cemetery, end often one or the other
would steal away 10 pray beside the grass
covered mound, so no one wondered
when they saw lily growing tall and
stately. Each one thought that one OF iae
other brethren had planted the flowers
and so paid no SPECIAL heed until, the
blossoms opening. they saw In golden
letters clear on the petals: 81 believe.

il was indeed flower OF Paradise spring.

prayer with which he had earned his
place in the everlasting garden OF God.

Peace That Abrides.

What strange ana Wonuer1ui upllH IS
experienced by those who observe in
true spirit the day which commentaries
the resurrection OF Christ. Into their
souls there is waited something OF the
sweetness of the winds OF heaven. Into
their hearts flow the peace which the
world cannot give. The very comfort OF
God is theirs.
The Easter message speaks OF victory.
The grim foe that has terrified men
in,all ages has been conquered. Jesus
has triumphed over death and his vic
tory is ours. His loot is on the skulr'
OF death. There is no place for mourn
full music in the resurrection anthem.
The Gospel of Easter day is marvel
ously comforting. There are multitudeS
OF sad hearts in the world. How few are
the homes that have not felt the blighting
touch Of bereavement. How few across
whose thresholds the sombre- -robed mes
senger has not entered. To all who sor-
row the Master speaks in great tender
ness 81 am the resurrection and the
life; he that believeth in me, though he
die, yet shall he live"
The Loneliness of the bereaved ! Who
can appreciate it but those who have
drained the bitter cup2
o, for the touch OF vanished hand,
For the sound OF voice that is Still.
1t is time 10 remember in loving pray
er those whose faces are stained with
tears and whose hearts are weary with
heavy burdens. Sonowing ones, we OF
fer you Chrst'S glorious resurrection
promises. They are the words OF eternal
life. They speak in ringing accents oI
hope and heaven. They proclaim the
glad tidings that they who fell asleep in
Jesus are safe in the Fathers house
They counsel patience, loving submission
10 the all-wiSe will OF God, confidence in
him who has never broken his word
Some day, in Gods own time, we shall
stand face 10 face with those whom we
Loved and lost awhile" What a day
that will be, o my soul Then the
broken bonds will be restored and the
old, sweet companionshipS renewed and
the glory will be all the brighter for the
shadows through which we passed.
The resurrection message is a call 10
consecrated service. "Be ye steadfast,
unmovable, always abounding in the
work OF the Lord" Be up and doing,
for we serve the Master Of lite. The
sin sick world waits for loving ministra-
tions in Jesus name We are co-labor-
ers with God, we are linked up to the
divine purpose, we are intrusted with
the work OF the kingdom. Then let us
toll manfuIly for. the Masters sake, with
a song in our hearts and smile on our
faces. Our labor is not in vain in the
Lord. BY the blessing OF our Lord il vii
bear fruit for the eternitieS.
Thank God for the story Of the empty
tomb Praise be unto him who has shed
light into the grave Thanksgiving unto
him who is the Lord OF the life everlast-
ing
That God who ever lives and loves,
One God, one law, one element,
And one far-off divine event,
To which the whole creation moves.

All Speak of the Resurrection.
Easter. 1876.


Poets and philosophers had mourned
patheticallY over the inequality OF nature
inthis, that while other things had another
life in store. yet man, who appeared like
the lord OF creation himself, seemed TO
have no resurrection. But now, after
Christ had been indeed found TO have
risen from the grave, 10 them who obtain
ed for the first time any glimpse OF the
truth, it must indeed have been like a
new creation" "Old things passed
away, and all things become new"
1t is the spring OF the year.
"Rise up, and come away. For, 10 the
winter is past, the rain is over and gone
the flowers appear on the earth the time
OF singing is come" And what is spring
after winter but nature speaking OF the
resurrection OF her Lord? II is the season
when day is lengthening and mastering
the night; light is overcoming darkness,
and life springing out OF apparent death
as in the returning presence OF him who
is very life and very light, and maketh all
things new. And all this is as the earnest
of that great morning wherein il is said,
1--WE shall be like him" "When | awake
up after thy likeness, shall be satisfied
with it,"

Backache

In spite of the best care one takes
of oneself, any part OF the human machine
is liable to become out of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
heart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavengers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals OF
distress are easily recognized and in
clude such symptoms as backache, de-
pressions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal state of health, !"
says DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, sis to

And to feel by the souls awakening
That spring is really here
We might have known mid the darkness
That sorrow with Joy is bent.
And that gladness would end in the morning

To mock at unfaith and fear
And TO laugh like iubilant children,
