Hans Wagner dreamed this late season Of
one more 800 year. For his first thirty
games the Flying DutChman, now four-four
years old, maintained mark Of .320
He stuck grImly TO the task. but soon
began TO drift back, until at last he realized
that his 900 days were gone forever
He finally finished with mark Of .264
for seventy-four games, 23-point drop
from last season.
Even at that 264 is not TO be scorned.

Christs resurrection Is the citadel OF
Christianity. Jesus staked His mission
and messiahship upon His power to
conquer the forces of death. His tri-
umph over the grave filed the disoour-
aged, depressed and disappointed
disciples with an undying faith that
has given to the world the history OF
a conauerfnE church, the Lords day
and the New Testament as a result or

rection. His victory over the grave

yet ever modern question, If a man

REPLIES TO US. NOTE ON CHINA
Great Britain Obliged to Take Slight
ly Different View of Issue.

LONDON, June 16.--Great Britain has
dispatched to the United States a reply
to a note addressed to the entente
allied powers inviting them to asso-
ciate themselves with the United States
on the principles of the recent Ameri-
can note to China, which expressed re-
gret at China's internal political diff
flculties and hope that internal peace
soon would be restored
The British answer. which is of con-
siderable length and carefully framed,
expresses sympathy with the principles
enunciated by the United States and a
wish to do everything possible to con-
form with President Wilson's desires.
But it adds that Great Britain natu-
rally must view the situation from a
slightly different standpoint than the
United States, and that she may not be
able to do all that the President sug-
gests.
The note. as prepared, fills three
pages Of foolseap. closely written. and and
probably contains between 700 and 500
words.

The report which was brought by Mary
to Peter and John demanded immediate
investigation. Although they lived In
different homes it did not take the re-
pentant denier and the beloved disciple
long to get together to seek to under
stand the meaning of the empty tomb's
testimony. They were minute men who
acted with promptness, but the energy
of youth enabled John to soon outdis-
lance the impulsiveness Of Peter. When
John reached the silent tomb. his soul
filled with doubt and fears. he reverently
bowed his head and looked within. where
the Masters form had laid and noted
the position and appearance of the grave
lence. Its appearance suggested the
possibility of the resurrection. but be-
