It the world would learn of Hjia
payrhlo It must approach metaphysical
pkaaomtu with a reverent spirit, de
clared Rev. C V. (THara yesterday
morning- In hla Easter sermon at Bt.
llarys Catholic Cathedral. "Irre-rereat
curiosity will never break through the
Umre of the Eternal.' ha said.
The Easter sermons at all the
churches, both Catholic and Protestant,
wero based upoa some phase of the
resurrection. Dr. Luther R. Jyott. at
the First Congregational Church, spoke
upon the Tower of an Endless Life.
Dr. Benjamin Toons;, at the Taylor
street Methodist Church, took as Ma
abject "The Risen Christ. Dr. W. B.
lilneon, of the White Torn pie. also
poke upon "The Risen Chn-t" Dr.
A- A. Morrison spoke at Trinity Epis
copal Church.
Father CHara took for his text the
words of the angel to Mary at Christ's
tomb, as given in Mark !:: Ta
seek Jesus of Xasareth. which waa
crucified: He la isen; lie Is not here;
behold the place where they laid Him."
He said, la part:
The resurrection of Christ, my dear
friends, stands out on the paces of
history as Uod's final answer to the
deepest questioning of the restless hu
man heart. Today the world proclaims
that It Is seeking scientiflo eridenoe
of the spirit worlj. and seeks to sub
ject psychic and occult phenomena to
xact methods of Investigation and re
search. Its TOtarlea fondly forecast a
roseate hortion for the religion of the
future founded on such methods. But
vain tiie search and delusive the hops.
"Irreverent curloalty wtll never
I break through the silence of the Eter
nal. When Moeea. the chosen-lawgiver
of the Jewish people, approacbed
the burnlne; bush to hear the voice et

whereon he trod waa holy ground.
Prayrrfalltierence) Availing.
"Let those who would explore the
mysteries of Ood learn this lesson
welL Tbey are treading on holy
ground, where prayerful reverence
will avail mora than human wisdom
and where the clean of heart will sense
the mysteries of Ood. When, out of
Idle curiosity, the tetrarch Herod
sought a miracle at the bands of
Christ, neither word nor act could ho
draw forth from the Divine Master.
God la not mocked. He has given to
humanity In the events of the first
Kaster morning hla own luminous an
swer to the problem of life after death,
and there la light enough for ail who
do not refejM to see.
"The world may find It fashionable
to conform to a diluted type of Chtiitl
anlty In which sin Is not mentioned,
the conscience not awakened and re
pentance not dreamed of. But nntll It
kneels la sackcloth and ashes at the
fool of the cross on Mount Calvary It
will remain forever alien to the spirit
of Easter."
i I J re Invincible) Is Measaaje.
"The best message of Easter." said
Dr. Pyolt. 1s thai of Invlnclbls life,
'with fact, evidence, witness and proof.
Jesus Christ, ss the new high priest of
humanity, presented this message In all
that lie was. In all that he said. In all
thai he did. Hla way was that of light
and life. He rescued faith. Illumined
hope and Inspired love. Across the
dark waters of life's tumultuous way,
from the shore of eternity to the shore
vf time, taere streamed a path of light
divine for the birthday of universal
faith, and that faith baa never been
burled beneath the billows of unbelief.
The black mantle of despair haa never
covered the eternal hope. Immortal
love lcapa across Christianity's empty
grave, and hears the voice of tna
i.ord of life saying, 'because I live, ye
shall live also.'
"The power of an endless life,
conveyed to us. admits of the practice
of immortality here and now. This
Is the power of an endless life, which,
doing things on earth, puts an Im
mortal quality Into the tame, so that
there Is do grave for these things.
Again, tha power of an endless life Is
evidenced tbrouzh the Influence of
those In the other world, our loved
ones who have entered the great be
yond, as they exert that Influence over
ns. The power of an endless life gives
to this life on earth tts ampler and
diviner meaning. This Is the real
meaning of Easter.
"Hcear recti on la Fact."
-The faith of the believing hosts of
God would have become a vain thing
had Christ remained In the cold grasp
of death." said Dr. HI neon. "Christ a
resurrection Is a guarantee that those
who have trustfully paised from time
Into eternity have not perlahed.
-The resurrection Is a fact. Holy
Fcripture foretold It. the angels de
clared It, the Roman guarda asserted
It. the risen Lord on the first Easter
day was seen by Mary, by Peter, by
the two Emmaus disciples, and by the
assembled eleven. Thomas. when
questioned, became convinced of the
resurrection. The appearances of the
death-conquering Christ were varied
and numerous. Within a few months
thousands In Jerusalem accepted the
religion based on the resurrection.
Paul. : years afterward, declared the
wltnessea to the resurrection, by the
hundred, were still alive. and the
mightiest factor for holiness for the
last 18 centuries haa been Imbedded In
the belief la a resurrected Christ.
Christ being risen, the world Is full
of his presence and power. Life la
made glad thereby, the future Is a
reveeJed mystery, and Easter Joy and
gladness blossom In the soil of reality."
Dr. Toung said. In part:
T!ia historicity of the resurrection
la denied by few. Even many critics
why, .nt. In msnv ef the miracles from
naturalistic hypotheses accept the
trotn Or tue rurrciiga.
Tbe testimony Is unequivocal. The
asserted thev had teen

and consistent. . There Is such agree

Immediate. The aposJ -did not wait

Warm Springs Reservation
Agent Tells Situation.
SETTLEMENT IS OPPOSED
C. O. Oovejr Says Allotments to In
dians Have Taken All Tillable
Acres and That Only
Timber Is Left.
By asserting that all tillable land In
the Warm Spring Indian reservation bas
already been allotted to the Indiana en
titled to selections, C. C. Covey, agent
of the reeervatlon proposed to be thrown
open to the public asserts that It would
be an Injustice to the public to cause a
large rush of settlers Into the Warm
Springs country when there Is no land
for them suitable for cultivation. Mr.
Covey was in the city last week attend
ing tha United States District Court.
"There are 600,000 aeres In the reser
vation." said Mr. Covey, "and the near
est point to Portland is probably 90 miles
aa tha crow flies. Already under the
allotment act of 1S94 there have been 70
selections made and recorded. There
are probably 250 more to be made.
No Good Land Left.
In mv Judgment all of the tillable
land haa been taken, and with tha 230
allotments to be' made all of the land
capable of being fanned will be taken.

To date there have been 113,000 ont of the
008,000 acres given to the .Indians. Of
course, these lands are the choicest in
the whole reeervatlon. The Indians are
quite capable of selecting the choice
tracts and know their value. Should the
reservation be thrown open It will leavt
onlv the range and the timber tracts
for the settler, and as t understand It
the timber land Is to be held for the
benefit of the Indiana
'There Is far bettor land in Central

"TTnder the allotment Indian act the
land is held in trust ton 25 years, and
many of the Indians of the arm

land in 192110 years away. The timber
on the reservation is of a good quallty
There Is plenty or range in the reserva
tion and there are thousands of acres
which can never be of any value except
for grazing. There are a few places
where there Is a possibility or irrigation.
Rut on the whole I doubt the expe
diency of sending out the impression
that there Is a vast domain oi unaoio
land to be opened for settlement. It
aaems- wherever the Government opens
a reservation, there Is a tremendous rusn ,
of people, and It would be a rorm or
deception which would not be at all fair
to the public, in my Judgment. There
are many larsjo plateaus In the 600,000
acres where cattle and sheep may graze,
but essentially the reservation will be
come a stock country and, outside small
patches of tillable land, will not become
a farming country."
