The Immediately preceding
scene of tragedy, thrilling, fateful
and terrible, did not, could not, con
elude the tremendous theme. . The
final act, save for a corroborative at
ter-scene.r completes triumphantly
the -"greatest story ever told,"' one
that in the concept, of the authors
opens up the only possible' avenue to
an eternal life in heaven and means
of salvation for the human soul. The
- Christ killed, lying; dead, in a tomb,
burled to become Insentient dust,
was theroan of him. The Christ
alive again, arisen, the conqueror of
Death, was "God manifest In the
flesh." The lesson Is that all e are
, not only mortal, but Immortal. "He
is risen; he Is not here," said Mary.
But he reappeared, In a final scene,
to give instruction to his followers
and to say: "I ascend unto "my
- - Father," and your Father, and ia JBi
Cod, and your God," ,

itual or religious element In the na

hopes of eternal felicity and multi

This time was observed by the

A PLEA. FOR LOCAL RULE
EXCITEMENT IN GEORGIA
T
HERE Is great excitement in
Georgia, says a dispatch. The
storm center. Is Atlanta. A
federal judge and ills auto ran
over a negro and nearly killed him.
That was some time ago. The. negro.
after escaping' ' from , the jaws of
death by. the. auto , route, sned the
honorable justice -tor damages. He
won; and on the judgment that is
sued -the negro's lawyerSj after fail
ure -of the defendant to pay .jtbe
amount,: levied on the judge's home
and contents. That is tbe canee of
the excitement. ""A special meeting
of the Atlanta Bar association has
been called to consider means of dis
ciplining the negro's lawyers ' and
forcing reparation to the Judge,"
adds the dispatch.
Of course, the negro Is wrong. He
ought not to complain at being run
over by an auto. - Besides, was not
he driven by "the Judge"? What
if one or two of his limbs were brok
en and a few joints disconnected,
wasn't It a jndge that did It? In
deed, 'did the negro not really owe
the Judge an apology for being In
be way of the, speeding auto? And.
n truth, ought be not to feel hon
ored to know that he has had a few
ribs broken and". a row or two of
teeth knocked out by a Judge?
Here. Indeed. U a negro with but

being grateful that be escaped with
