From notes of cabinet meetings
found in Mr. Lanes files:
October %, 1918.
Yesterday We had a cabinet meet
ing. All were present. The Presi-
dent was manifcstly disturbed. For
some weeks VIC have spent our time
at cabinet meetings largely in tell
ing stories. E> en- at The meeting of i
week ago. the day on which the
President sent his reply to Germany

We were given no view of the note.
which was already in Lansing s
hands and was emitted at 4 O'Clock
and had no tall! upon It. other than
some outline given offhand by the
President to one of the cabinet who
referred to it before the meeting
and for three ee-quarters Of an hour told
stories on the war. and took up small
departmental affairs.
This was the not which gave
greatest Joy to the people of any yet
written, because it was ririle and
vibrant with determination to put
militarism out OF the world. AS he
sat down at the table the President
said that Senator AShurst had been
to see him to represent the b,wil-
dered state of mind existing in lhe
Senate. They were afraid that he
would take Germany's words "a. their
face value.
Il said to the senator" saId the
President, do they think am "a
damned fool =. Yet Senator
Kellogg says that Ashurst told the
most pacificaliy, as if inclined to
peace. and that Ashurst was "afraid
that he would commit the country to
peace so afraid that he wanted all
the pressure possible broug to bear
on the President by othc- senators.
At any rate. the note when il came
had no paciiicism i'll it, and the Presi-
dent gained the unanimous approval
Of the country and the niles.
But all this was week ago. Ger
many came back with az accertance
of the Presidents terms--a super
fetal acceptance at least hence the
appeal to the cabinet yesterday. This
was his opening, Il do not know what
to do. I must ask your advice. ]

WASHINGTON, March l6, 1918.
The whole war situation seems to
be SO big that it overwhelms the
minds Of men. But We are
grinding on and going surely in the
right way. Not everything has been
done that could be done. but we are
getting our step. This thing will be
longer than we thought. But, as the
President says, it Is our job-our
job Is cut out for US. and we are 60
ing to see it through. Russia has
taught US what happens to nation
that is not self-respecting. We are
hard at work, every one of us, big
and little. The nation never was as
united, and while we do not realize
just what war is, yet we will realize
1t more from day to day and harder
will our fiber grow.

EASTER IN THE HOLY CITY
When the Nations of the Earth Turn
to the Sacred Shrines as to a
Common Home.

Easter, the most extensively observed
of all Christian celebrations, may be
said to have had it's true origin pre-
vious to any authentic history of man
kind. True enough. it is kept in COM
memoration of the resurrection OF
Christ, and is the most deliberately
celebrated at Jerusalem, around when
centers mucl. of the history of the life,
teachings, death and resurrection OF
the Savior. Year by year many ma
tons of the earth go up to this an
cient city. All turn to the sacred
shrines as common home, there to
celebrate the ceremonies of holy week.
In the Church of the Holy Sepulcher
there is a spot invariably pointed out
by the guides as the center of the
world. This the devout people who
make their yearly pilgrimages believe
implicitly to be the exact spot, for
Jerusalem is the center of the religi-
Gus world, and for Christians of every
description the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher is the center of interest.
The rites Of holy week are presided
over by patriarch, who is the rec
ognized master of ceremonies. He ap-
pears in gorgeous robe with diamond
set cross and icon upon his breast and
jeweled crown of gold upon his head.
The whole scene of the gospel story
is portrayed with ceremonies during
the week. One remarkable ceremony
is that of the holy fire, which takes
place on Saturday. 1t is claimed by
the patriarchs that fire comes down
from heaven on that day to light their
lamps, and if extinguished they will
be Immediately relighted.
Services of the week close with
Easter Mass, in the Church of tire
Holy Sepulcher, beginning at mid
night Easter eve and extending well
toward the dawn. At the sound of
bells announcing the close of, the
service the pilgrims go out into the
fresh morning air to watch the COM
ing of Easter day and dream of the
beauties and mysteries of religion as
it has come to them through crude
teachings and ancient superstitions of
the eastern churches.

Seasons Special Significance.

Seasons Special Significance.
To the Christian the special signiff
canoe of Easter lies in its triumphal
assertion of the fact of immortality.
Not the impersonal, unconscious merg-
ing of the individual in impassiye inn
rensity which Buddhism teaches; not
the mere prolongation of physical and
sensual life which the Koran promises,
but the true immortality of the spirit,
that nobler part of man which distin-
cuisines him infalIibly from the rest of
creation.
A hope. trust, confidence, even in
the future life is common TO all races
of men. 1t is no reproach. therefore,
that our Easter day has been identi-
fed with the old pagan festival or
returning spring and resurrected life.
