W. PALMER. Lake View. (High street. road).

All Christian hope hangs the verity of the Lord's resurrection. which is today celebrated with anthems and: hallelujahs wherever the cross is lifted up. Skeptics may scoff at the physical demonstration and even bellevers may hesitate to accept the miracle in its literal meaning, but it is a rash man who denies the spirItual truth of another and a nobler life, For IL has 114, analogy In, every process of pature, in his own being, and in the universal consciousness. The cross materialist must acknowledge the life force that pervades the universe; indeed, he affirms the mysteries of infinity in many lip formulas of phrasing. And with ail his cannot: explain the miracle of seed from the withered flower, radiant bloom and the ricu fruit from the muck of the inert earth.

Individual piants. die and whole specis obliterated but ever the germ endures and life is reborn in cycles of regeneration. Evolution is another name for development; it not teach the great prime cause. grave is but another kind of seed bed which planted in mortality and produces into immortality. The Master Husbandman in His own good time will reap the harvest and we cannot doubt that he will separate the wheat from the tares.

As in the soctat and the aday world, resurrection or. rebeginning 1s the blessed process which from the wreck of sin and of despair at our own weakthe fallen and strong shoulders bear the stricken. As we forgive our erring fellows and speed to better ways, as we start anew after failure or mis. as we emerge from waywardness righteousness, as we perform Or witness the miracles of reform in carfan, our very social organisms and bodies politic pass from rude savagery proximate civilization (as we have been taught during our last quarter the house of Israel) we of demonstrate the philosophy of the Christian faith and prove it to be the sublime expression of principle which our very lives and surroundInge imperfectly proclaim. very cry out for immortality.

He who believes is the true scientist: who percelves, beyond the dull who. feels more than his limited faculties can formulate and pursues the truth that glows -afar. The unbeliever is the barbarian; he senses only the creature things of his crude nature; his vision is limited to the low horizon that drops close around his little earthly laid; his is the touch and taste and smell of the jungle, educated only by fear and greed. He cannot even reason out the night or the dawn but gorges himself today and lies down to sleep without a conception of tomorrow. Living for today mere bestiality.

But we are not as the beasts that die but as the gods that live. The hope of better things, the preparation for enjoyment, the fitting for larger achievement, the expectation of the future these are the mainsprings of Loll life's endeavor and they are but Tannlogies of the rebirth of the resur rection. Individuals memory have attained the summit of earthly grandeur only to be remanded to dust. leaving behind them shadows merely of their erstwhile. greatness: but the Idcals.

for our Lord and. Savior stocd. perish. not: instead, they rather brightness with the centuries. "Be ye therefore parfect.

even your Father which In Heaven Is -fect." that we may not only meet ench other there but Him also, the brightest blossom- that ever budded into. manhood.

At the Local Playhouses Lillian. Russell In the striking racetrack. drama, "Wildfire" de a strong story of adventure; plotting and counter -plotting which gives its producer many opportunities -for preparing a continuous display of absorbing action with Lillian Russell as the central figure. The drama starts out' west, where Mr. Barrington, the secret owner of a racing stable in the east, la murdered as tie result of a quarrel with a gambling desperado named Reefe.
