Easter comes with its mighty re.
enforcement of the affirmation of
love and hope The affirmation OF
the soul comes back in the COMPEL,
ing assurance of this anniversary.
1t IS not so wonderful that life
should exist after death as it is that
we should believe that it exists. God
might have a million wondrous
things in store for US which we coulG
not possibly understand. We live in
world where death surrounds us
on every side. How can we possibly
think of life after death? The won,
der is not that it should exist, but
that we should believe that it exists
The fact is less wonderful than the
faith. Yet there is hardly tribe on
earth so low in the social or spirit
ual scale that it does not believe in
life after death.
When comes this miracle? Not the
miracle of the fact, but the miracle
of the faith? If it were a delusion
it is the most comforting delusior
that ever entered the Imagination Of
humanity. How did it get there?
And why should we think it a decis
ion? In the world of a good God
there is nothing too good to be true
Now comes Easter with its mes.

the very earth cries out in harmo

sod
And waits to see it push away the
clod,
Trusts he in God.

On that first Easter the worlds
hope rose from the dead. The hopes
of the disciples lay in tomb, and
a great stone was at the door. For
1900 years that stone has been re-
moved, and an angel has been sitting
upon it, proclaiming to men that the
Lord of life lives.
1t is not simply the dogma of a
sect: it is part and parcel of the
birthright of humanity-the hope
that springs anew at Easter.

HARMONY is URGED BETWEEN
TWO RACES.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 22.--Har-
mony between the white and Color
ed races in the United States de-
ponds upon the elimination by each
of a dual personality which has
caused the Negro to discount his
abilities, thereby making tacit ad-
mission of superiority assumed by
the white man, according to form
er Congressman George w. Murray
who spoke at the Colored M. E.
Church Wednesday night.
Development of this relation is
particularly marked in the south,
where it has caused the white man
to accept false ideals, he said. Treat
ment accorded the Negro in the
past is responsible for the condition
and has impressed the Negro with
his inferlority to the extent of be-
coming traditional, he continued.
He appealed to Negroes in the
northern states to conduct them
selves to make an impression which
will overcome the relation between
races.
