Then the planes were fragile and the
motors unreliable, while the pilots,

pitch of efficiency and the pilots have

in the war. but through unhurried

OF course, other nations have made
striking advances in aviation. but it is
difficult TO believe that America, with

the thought that it was in this coun-

they we're SO occupied with their nets
and they were SO little suspecting the
presence of their Master that as they
saw His figure on the shore in the
early morning mists they did not dis
Germ who 1t was. Not until He gave
evidence of His deep interest in their
concerns did they understand that 1t
was He. The whole theme is one that
appeals profoundly to our imagination
He is the Christ of the early morning
mists. He is the Christ dimly appre-
hended. and He remains so until He
enters into the immediate concerns of
the lives of these fisher disciples.
That all men have a reverence for
Him the "Mightiest among the
terms of true greatness. They rev.
erence Him for the wonderful beauty
of His life and teachings. Notwith-
standing all this, He is largely to them
the Christ of the early morning mists.
dimly apprehended The full realiza-
ton of all that His life and teachings
mean is more fully understood and ap-
pretended only when a situation arises
wherein there is no one else to whom
to turn. When the problems of life
demand a solution that the world can
not give. then we cry out. Lord, to
whom shall we go, Thou alone hast
the words of eternal life!" Until such
a situation arises. we leave Him on the
shore in the early dawn of the morning.
The difference between a dimly ap-
pretended Christ and an appropriated
Christ is marked He Himself declar-
ed, IF any man willeth to do My WILL
he shall know My teaching" The
value of His divine person is only made
evident to us when we bring Him into
the most intimate contact with the
things of our common experience. To
the age-old question, IF a man die
shall he live again?" He brings the
authoritative answer Because / live,
We shall live also
1t is conceivable that We may not
only reverence but worship Christ, and
still fail to bring Him within the range
Of the problems that at times seem in
superable and that threaten to over
whelm us Christ seeks to be the COM
panion of every man. not only in his
worshiping hours. but in those things
that have to do with the most vital
concerns of life.

Prolonging the Blossom Fete.
A correspondent of the Baltimore

6onym Of Cherry Blossoms" called the
editors attention last week to the fact
that St Louis, possibly attracted by the
commercial aspects of WaShington's an
nuaI cherry tree display. is setting out
more than thousand of these trees
and IN a few years will boast of a
show comparable to WashingtonS The
writer asks the Sun why Baltimore does

The letter contains thought for Wash

Wsshington'S cherry trees. planted in
1912, will burst into glory every Sprins
for many years to come. Barring un-
fortunate conditions which have not
made themselves apparent so far, the
trees may be expected to last for pos
Sihly fifty years. The question of re-
placing them is bridge that does not

One thought would be to obtain and

But suggestion worthy of more con-

the cherry trees in Potomac Park in

The Imperfect Vision"

The Imperfect Vision"
Things that are real are frequently
seen dimly and remotely. The signifi-
cance Of great facts or the realization
of truth is very often a matter of
mental evolution. The big facts Of life
that have to do With its largest inter-
estS are largely matter of growth
and confirmed to us by long experience.
In the instance suggested in the
text, Jesus had appeared to His dis
ciples after certain intervals and on
unusual occasions, and now He had
chosen the early morning hours for
His latest post-resurrection appearance.
One of the things that impress us
profoundly in connection with these
reappearanceS of the risen Christ is
the naturalness Of the method He
chose IN each instance. First, it was
in a garden in the early morning hours
that He appeared TO disappointed
and lonely woman. Again, on the eve
ming of the day of His resurrection, He
appeared to two disheartened disciples
as they walked on the road to Emmaus.
Again, on the same evening He makes
His presence felt in an upper room
where confused disciples are discuss
ing the important events that have
been brought to them by those who
had been early at His tomb. In the
present instance He makes His pres
ence felt in the early morning hours,
while the disciples are in their boats,
after a long and weary night of futile
efforts at fishing
There is something strikingly suggeS-
tive about these repeated appearances
of our Lord after His resurrection He
chose in each instance scenes that we're
intimate and where the affirmation of
His resurrected life would have the
most marked effect, / think that the
post-resurrection appearances of Christ
and of all His contacts with those to
whom He presented Himself were de-
signed 10 bring the great fact of the
resurrection into immediate contact
with the most vital and intimate con-
Germs of human life In the present
case when He appeared to these men.
