Mr.. Barnes, when called to testify
regarding his book, Republicanism in
1920, said that it was venture of his
paper, The Albany Journal, contracted
for in 1918, when he was temporarily
out of control of the management Of
the Albany Journal Company.
He emphatically denied that any Of
the contributions for the book were for
the Republican campaign fund, and as
serted that the only benefit the Repub-
hcans would get from the circulation
Of the volume would be through the
book itself. Only 200 had been printed,
he said, and the total publication
would be only 1000.
"Evidently some solicitor had r.

contract for securing subscriptions,

ing 8 per cent of the 100000 set as the

said. and the national committee 50
per cent. The national committees

EASTER GLADNESS IN VENICE
Whole City GayIy Decorated and Re-
pIete With the Sounds of Music
and Happy Laughter.

On Easter Sunday the most delight
full spot in the world is Venice. Here,
as in Rome, however, to enter into
the spirit of things, you must rise be-
fore the lark and make your way to
the plaza of st. Mark, the very heart
of Venice, where from morning until
night congregate all the wealth and
fashion of the canal city.
If you can win your way into st.
Marks you are very fortunate, for en-
tire Venice is bent on reaching there
before you. You must needs be car
ried there in a gondola which on this
festive occasion is enchantingly pic
turesque in it's floral decorations.
AS you drift lazily along toward your
goal. propelled by the gentle padding
of the gondolier who is clad in his
gladdest rags in honor Of the day,
Easter hymns peal out across the wax
ing waters, and the whole setting is
replete with music and happy laugh
ter. Along the shore t1Ower-covered
shrines greet your vision indeed flow
ers are everywhere in magnificent pro-
fusion of color and bloom.

to the will that is divine-and that
is why it seems so hard for many of
us to find peace. To realize the unity
of the personal will and the cosmic
love it is first necessary to rid one
self of arrogance, pride, conceit and
every selfish desire that is RESPONSE
BILE for that sense Of separateness that
causes all confusion. To bring about
the "atonement" the self must become
subordinate to the one Master Of life.
In time, we are told, ''every knee shall
bow and every tongue confess that I
am Cod" for "no flesh shall glory in
His presence"
1t is good to hope for the resurrec-
tion of the body; it is better to be-
lieve in the final redemption Of the
soul and to see, with eyes Of faith,
the far-off heaven of promise; but
infinitely better still is it to realize
here and now that the soul has awak-
ened from it's sleep, that regeneration
is already accomplished and that
Christ, "the Resurrection and the
Life" has come into the soul to live
forever.

But the pincushion did not like be-

clumsy it began to bob about and off
it rolled on the floor.
The tall bottles began to whirl about

Jumped out of it's box and was trying
to dance. The mirror, finding it was
topheavy and could not dance, lay
down, and on this the little Fan Lady
stepped to keep out Of the wet.
1t was just then that the little Sill
yer Boy, holding vase on his shOul-
der, turned around to follow the little
lady.
She had smiled at him all the while
in a most bewitching manner, but not
once did she give him chance to
speak to her.
''Pray let me help you back to your
place on the FAM" said the Silver Boy,
''and that you may not spoil your
shoes I'll lay my coat over the wet

Then taking off his coat, the Silver
Boy held out his hand and helped the
little lady to her place on the blue
satin fan.
"And I heard him say" said the
Frame Lady, "that the Queen Of old
could not have been more beautiful
than she was.
"And then the Fan Lady said
The Queen Of old could not have had

No one knew what they meant, but
now every night when the blue satin
fan is left on the bureau the little
lady steps out Of her place and the
Silver Boy takes her hand and leads
her where no one can hear what they
say.
"Of course, the place is never in dis
order now as it was that first night, u

thought her mistress threw the things

In fact, although we may know
little about change, we know nothing
whatever about death, the thing we
fear most. For by death we mean
absence of consciousness-yet, while
we remain conscious, such cOndi-
tion is unthinkable, or at least i'm
possible to realize. In fact, if one
should actually be conscious Of death,
it would not be death, for one would
be conscious of unconsciousness-a
proposition contradictory on the face
of it. The very conception of a So
called estate of DEATH is but an in
dication of the limitless shores which
it is possible for human conscious

TINE little lady who lives in a

1t happened one night after the

eEaA&2sE.s- NY ing a garment Of flesh,
but He knew His body
for the temple of God; and although
foolish men, who knew not what they
did, attempted to destroy that temple,
the Christ that dwelt within those
sacred walls made death His slave,
walked calmly from his tomb and
cOnfounded materialism with his ra-
diant presence. Demonstrating the
power Of the soul over every mega
tive force, He glorified flesh with a
baptism of heavenly fire, proved the
unity of the natural and the spirit
ual, and so became for all mankind
"the way, the truth, the life" He
had the right to say-as any man
may declare when he has walked
The Way-"I and my Father are
one"
There are those who declare that
this resurrection of Him who was
the first fruits of them that slept" is
only a myth and symbol of the
possible. His rising was indeed
symbol and a promise, but it was
more than that; it was and is both
a natural fact and spiritual truth
for He rises daily in nature and in
the soul of man. His glory shines
from every rising sun and, when the
day is ended, his peace comes to man
in the calm of sleep the while He
smiles from all the glowing stars.
"The dark and the light are both
alike to Him" The Resurrection
was a promise to those who were,
and who are, dead in spirit, for "He
that believeth on me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live" His resur-
rection was corroboration Of the
truth realized to a great extent by
those already awakened, for "He
that belieyeth on me and liveth shall
5neVer die"
Example of Nature.
AS q fact in nature-and certainly
the resurrection of our Lord was no
example of the reversal of the order
of nature-Christ's victory over the
grave was a demonstration of that
wondrous system exemplified by
every bursting bud of spring, by the
birth of every sentient being, by the
constant expansion of the powers OF
intellect and of the love of the heart.
In nature resurrection is continuous,
and science has found no place or
thing where the germ Of life is not.

TREATING WRINKLES.

~ UTE a number of readers have
