The weather man nearly got in
wrong with the ladies oa Easter.
Many of them found it risky to take
out the new bonnet early in the day,
but after 10 a. m. the sun made its
appearance and many of the creatipns
were in evidence oa the street, while
the churches were alive with effects
in pink and purple. ' Styles change
with them, the coloring. This of
course is Elks' year in Oregon and
it is surprising how the ladies have
taken to the purple, and how pretty
they look, how beautiful the complex
ion, with purple the main stay. We al
ways admire the new spring millinery
and the ladies certainly have reason
to be in line with the season, for
there never was an organization of
men with greater respect for pure
womanhood than the B. P. O. E.

Death Is Great Stone of
History", Says Rev. Edwards
The Rev. G. N. Edwards, pastor
of the Congregational church, preach
ed in part as follows Sunday evening,
his subject being "The Stone Rolled
Away:"
"And they were saying among them
selves, who shall roll away the stone
from the door of the sepulchre, and
when they looked up they saw that
the stone was rolleed away.' Mark
16:34.
"What a realistic touch of human
-nature in this anxiety about the great
stone these women had seen rolled to
the door of the tomb two days be
fore! They had accepted his death
as final. They had come with sad and
hoplesss faces to perform the last of
fices for the dead body of their dear
friend. They looked for no lightening
of their sorrow save in attending to
these loving details which these wom
en loved to give as a last token of
regard for those they had loved and
lost. So their only concern was,
should they be able to do this? They
had seen the rock-hewn sepulchre
closed with a great stone that several
men were just able to move. What
could their slender strenght avail, to
find a way into the tomb? So early
was it that no man was likely to be
near, for work, who could render as
sistance? They went on therefore
questioning, yet not hesitating till they
stood at the place. And there they
saw the stone was rolled away. Some
one else they thought had come be
fore them to perform a like office. So
they stepped in. But there was no
body there! Instead they saw a mar
vellous young man who spoke strange
but joyous words to them. 'Be not
afraid. Jesus whom ye seek is risen,
he is not here. See the place where
his body lay. He goeth before you. In
Galilee ye shall see him.11 And so for
the stoue they worried about, it had
become a seat for the mesenger from
which he delivered his message.
"There is a parable here for many
human experiences. We often expect
to find just stones in our way, and
stop, or go doubtfully on, not knowing
the issue, nor seeing the way out. As
a traveller following the windings of
a river or a trail through the- mount
ains sees oftimes a great hill squarely
in front of him, the river seems a lake
the road must stoprr-but hold a min
ute. He keeps on his way, the hills
part and the open water gleams ahead
and winds around the base of the
mountain that seemed to block his
progress. So it is of the burdens of
the day. Have you never dreaded to
begin some day the painful task you
saw before you, the night before? It
may have been a piece of housework
for which your strength seemed inade
quate; a difficult problem which seem
ed to baffle your skill; a disagreeable
dty, an enemy to meet, a friend to
forgive, a confession to make. How
can you do it? Where is the power
to roll away that stone that stands
exactly where you must travel. Per
haps you have tried to run away. You
try to dodge the issue. No stones
are rolled away for them who do not
march up to them. The fear that
drives a man away from his duty or
his chosea task is cowardly. How
many of us have dreaded the teacher
who made us exercise our -minds to
overcome the stone of ignorance in
the path of knowledge? He was a
rock that weighed heavily , on our
minds every day, till we discovered
by our own application and study that
the teacher was the hidden messenger
of hidden truths of which we had
not guessed.
"How many times has some sorrow
come into our lives like a heavy load,
immovable, crushing, deadening. We
sink into welcome sleep that we may
forget it awhile. And we rise In the
morning with a sense of the old grief
still weighing us to the earth. Who
shall roll away the stone we say and
expect it to remain a blight on our
life, marring and maiming us for all
time. The gash on the moutain side
where the avalanche fell, becomes as
a new feature of beauty as nature
takes it into hand. It is overgrown
with vines and trees and it may mark
a place where a stream shall flow and
beget fair flowers. So the sorrow we
cannot bear may be surmounted by a
messenger of God, announcing good
tidings of sustaining strength and re
newal companionship of eternal life
for us and the friends we mourn. A
new cavern always opens where the
old one closes, if we only press on to
the apparent close.
"The great stone of human history
is death. It is universal for all living
things. The one incalcable catas
trophe! It is only by forgetting it
that men achieve. It is felt like an
icy barrier to all personal plans and
ambitions. We feel it first as it lies
heavily across tjie life of some friend,
but we also feel its shadow extending
over our own lives. It seems to put
an end to individual existence. Who
shall roll away this stone? Men have
sought for the philospher's stone that
should confer Immortality on him who
should find it, but the pilosjihers died
in their search. The elixir of life,
the fountain of youth have been
dreams of souls eager to live, but none
has yet drunk a draught that could
bring perpetual life to a mortal body.
Whether we call it a river to be cross
ed, a eil to be parted, or the shears
to cut the thread it is always there
the inevitable catastrophe.
"To the thinking mind there is" no
thought without its explanation. The
more insoluble and mysterious the
fact, the more significant it is likely
to be. The darker the veil the 'bright
er the light may be behind it.. Its
very thickness makes it a plague to
the most dazzling light. Now the in
teresting thing about that stone was
not its weight nor is seals, nor the
soldiers that guarded it, but what was
behind it. Those women thought it
was only one body of their bloved
Master. His enimies thought the
tomb needed only to be guarded
against the disciples who might en
deavor to remove the body to estab
lish fraudulent claims.- The powers
of heaven met there that morning.
The prince of life could not be holden
of death.. 'The angels of light could
be hindered by no earthly barrier.
Hence the open and empty tomb.
"We may not care for the mirac
ulous element of that first Easter day.
We may feel it so far away that it
rouses no sense of reality in us.
"The stone has fallen back into its
place; it is cold prosaic dawn. The
stony face of the earth is brightened
by no celestial light; there is no life
but mortal life. It is soon cut down
and we vanish away. Yet is it not
strange that while "these physical ob
jects, plants and animals, can endure
their death season of winter and come
forth again with light and warmth of
spring, that the soul should find no
spring beyond its winter? Awake to
the light 'of life- Eternal life is a
myth only to those who are" dead to
the greater half environment the
spiritual world. He did not cease to
be the resurrection and the life when
he lay behind the great stone of his
tomb. In the fullness of his time-he
arose a victor over death, as surely
as he summoned Lazarus from his
tomb. So he still stands behind the
great veil ' of deathwhich parts us
from the unseea saying 'I am the re
surrection and the life, he that beliv
eth in me though he were dead yet
shall-he live, and he that liveth and
beiieveth in me shall never die.' "

i and the latter's Sunday school class.
In the evening E. C. Dye preached.
All services were largely attended.
DR. FORD ENTERTAINS
The younge people's societies of
Christian and various other forms of
Endeavor are an old story. At least
so thinks Dr. Ford, pastor of the
Methodist church.
But, for the married folk, there is
little doing outside of worryiag over
church finances, new carpets; etc.
This is all to be changed however.
Mr. and Mrs. Benedict are to come
into their own-; for Dr. Ford and his
officers are to entertain the married
folk in Willamette Hall tonight at 8'
o'clock. A great social time is prom
ised as well as solid refreshments
the church announcement reads:
"If you are married, or have been,
you are invited.

FUNERAL OF F A. ELY ?
IS HELD IN GLADSTONE
The funeral of Frederick A. Ely was
held at the family home at Gladstone
Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clocE, and
was attended by many friend3 of the
deceased and family. The services
at the cemetery also were largely at
tended. Rev. J. R. Landsborough, pas
or of the Presbyterian chuch, assited
by the I. O. O. F. Lodge, of which
the deceased was a member for many
years, conducted the services. -
The floral offerings were handsome
and numerous. The interment was in
the family lot in the I. O. O. F. plat
of Mountain View cemetery. The
pallbearers were J. E. Jack, S. S.
Walker, F. A. JMiles, A. C. Beauliau,
R. W. Porter, John Bradley. The pall
bearers were members "of the I. O.
O. F. Lodge.
One of the greatest compliments
that has been paid to the Oregon City
Band was that on Easter Sunday when
scores of citizens comprising ty
pical Easter assembly, went to the
Seventh Street Park expecting to hear
the band play. The understanding of
the public seems to' have been, from
expressions made, that the band was
to give regular Sunday concerts and
the disappointment, as this new and
pleasing orgaized aggregation of musi
cians has added much to the city's
happy times, was great. .
It has been learned that the reas
on for the non-appearance of the band
was,- that the tax is' too great upon
members who are voluntarily giving
their time and services without recompense.
The band will give Sunday afternoon
concerts if the residents of the city
desire to assist in supporting this feat
ure of the city's welfare. I
