Is the first feeling that comes if to us one of relief that the lenten season, with its self-denial and enforced religious observances, is past, and that we may .again yield ourselves up more or less com pletely to the ambitions and. pleasures of the world? Is this feeling whit makes this Easter day joyous ? Have we grudgingly given ourselves to spiritual exercise and medi tation,, to self-denial and good works, and does our joy this morning spring from the anticipation of the pleasure the carnal life is now to yield us? -Let us hope that, instead of this, as a result of the lenten season, most or us find our hearts quickened and enlarged, with more lovejfor God and our fellow men; our souls more elevated and pure with a larger measure of the spiritual life throbbing in them ; that we find in ourselves a feeling of greater njesrness to God and a greater consciousness of His . fatherhood, with our faith in " love and serve Him and make ourselves more likened unto Him stronger than ever before. If so, this Easter day should ... be very bright and joyous to us., . . , . . ; : L Ci ; Perchance, we may be busying our thoughts with the ."events transpiring In Palestine nearly ; "nineteen centuries ago; with the empty tomb and the risen Lord, and the joy of the' earliest Christians when they saw Him walking in newness of life, notwithstanding the crucifixion of the body. - As momentous as those events seem to be, contemplation of tfiem alone cannot bring us all that we should desire. As Mary's Quest for her dead Lord, but for the intervention of vthe angel,' would have led but to graVe clothes and the trap pings of the tomb, so may end our search in the past for our ; resurrected Savior. rOur contemplation of Him as in Pales tine in the long ago, to our minds is apt to give Him a wrong getting, to place, Him so far away from us that we may not ' be able to understand that our Savior must be in the living ; present ; so far, away that we may f ind. it impossible t to realize that, if we are to have any Savior, He must come "within us. : - 1 - !. v "Before Christianity can be to. the world all that it should be the professed followers of j Christ must more -thoroughly understand that religio&- is- not of thTwt,f". howievemne- mentous and sacred that past may be. It is not a mere matter , of intellectual belief , no matter how important the things we believe. Neither is it a mere mental attitude or state of mind. Religion is ; nothing less than an inner, -spiritual-experience r an active, 1 present,. living, personal , reality; areal, voluntary:giving up ofthe carnal life for the ' ) pure, the unselfish, the spiritual, the things of God. Chris-, i ; tianity, religion, according to the New .Testament "standard, ;! is nothing less than keeping His commandments, being like ! ' Him, manifesting His spirit.

' weekly meeting of our Pirate Six Sam Finney told us that Instead I , of the regular meeting he wanted '; ; us all to come to his house and I meet a friend of his dad's.

J "One morning my three com panions and I awakened Just, be fore dawn, saddled . our - horses, and with our e!ght bloodhounds. j left camp In search of a lion trail ' Rat Pindar av Trait - 4 "It wasn't long hntil Rat, the V leader kof the pack, set up a howl to announce that he had,plcked up a scent- The seven other ' dogs followed Rat, and my companions and I trailed along on our horses. ; Rat, we learned from prints in the I soft ground, had found a lion trail and we judged it to he a' little more than a day old. , 1 "Several hours later, we saw : the dogs ahead of us under a tree Jumping and barking. They had .the Hon treed. r; "He saw us coming. . In one 1 leap he, was but of the three, had e'eared the dogs, and was away t across the country, with the t hounds close after. . . . ; " ' The lion was headed i: for ; deep canyon about a quarter ot ?

'i ' "I hurried fast across the bot tom of the canyon; and started up the other side. But going up was a different proposition from climbing d"own. Only occasional ly was there a projecting rock' to take hold of. or a dry-bush, r "About fifty feet up I stopped. I decided to throw my carbine Sz back down Into the canyon be cause it was in the way. I still had an automatic pistol in my belt.

And Paul tells us that "they that have not the spirit of Christ are none of His." ' Easter, then, must come to mean something more to. us, to the whole Christian world, than an ecclesiastically ap pointed or designated day of each year to commemorate the resurrection of Christ; something more than a day which each succeeding springtime brings to ua and which marks the end of the lenten season and the resumption of the usual sway of the carnal life in the lives of too many of His pro fessed ; followers. Until Easter, until the resurrection of Christ, means something more to us and the Christian world than the story of a dead Savior, a sepulcher, a miraculously removed stone, and a risen Lord nineteen hundred years ago in Palestine, and a Lord which then went away from the earth to the distant heaven and Father, the world will con tinue in ignorance, strife, wars and sin. Let Christ be resurrected in our lives. That shall be our glorious Easter morning. Let the life and Spirit of the pres ent, living. QbHsCpossess and dominate the individual hearts of His professedifollowers. That shall be the dawn of the new day for the world. " T:iVf? ? , ' '"'V'' Before there can be this resurrection in us, there must be a crucifixion. There must be hung upon the cross all the carnal, natural, sinful life; all our bitterness and hatreds; our envies and jealousies; our sordidness and 'greed; our animal propensities and appetites everything that is enmity to God, to Christ, everything not in harmony with Their pure, holy life. " . ... I " Paul says, "For it is impossible tfor those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and .were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, andt the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away tp renew them again to repentance r seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame." Can it be that your heart, instead of being the abode of the loving, pure, eternal, living Christ, is only the sepulcher of His crucified life? Is the great stone of the hardened, sinful life still lying against ther door, of your heart so that He cannot, arise in your life? Have you really "tasted of the heavenly gift" of which Paul speaks? Or are . you of those who once having tasted have "fallen away," so that your case is as hopeless as Paul paints it? We must all fall into one of these two classes unless our lives are constantly rich with the fruits of the spirit. When the better angel of our natures has rolled away the ttor.e from the door of our hearts so that the Son of Righte ousness has really arisen and shines for us, we shall need no other prompting to spiritual activity and good works than His own ' life-giving, warming, spiritually energizing spirit. Then all seasons will be for us times of religious effort and work no less than the lenten season, and every day we shell give glad and willing obedience to the promptings s of His spirit. . . Of course, we will admit that the world is flat at Zldn City. 'A New ' York' clergyman says that three kisses on Sunday will keep divorce away.

Would It hold my weight? I'd try. I took hold of the bush with one hand. Then I swung myself up, and was Just pulling up over the ledge, when , s-e-s-spat! Mr. Lion Jumped at my face and spit! He had reached the other aide ot the canyon ahead of me. - "He was as surprised to see me as I was to see him, and no sooner had he spied me than he disappeared from my view. ' 1 pulled myself up over the ledge and had Just got safely on my feet when the lion tore out of a clump of bushes where he had taken refuge and. bounded directly at me. , I reached for my automatic. The lion was within five feet of me when I pulled the trigger.. ' VHe was dead.

GREAT MEN EXTIXCT: A naive and charming book has been written in .Japan by an ori ental Diogenes, looking not mere-i ly for an honest 'man, bat for ai great one although It Is fairly to be assumed that if a man were great he would also be honest, j . The" author of the book is Tusuke Tsurumi, a son-in-law of Baron Goto, and he has named the work, ''Obei MeishI no Insho," or "Impressions of Eminent Per sons in Europe and America." . His plaintive and hopeful search took him, according to the translation published in ' "The Living Ape," to the homes of many celebrities like Lord North cliffe and Marquis Curzon of Ked leston and H. G. Wells. Lord Northcllffe was thunder etruck to find , that the Japanese Diogenes had never heard of Mary Pickford, and told him that H. G. Wells is the greatest wrtier since Shakespeare. .Which natu rally sent the ' investigator in search of Wells. And Wells put him out of his misery, as appears from the following: , "Have you read my 'Research Magnificent'?" asked Mr. Wells. "No, I have not." I replied. Then Mr. Wells wrote out the title of the book on a slip of pa per and, turning to me again, said. The age of great men Is past. These words impressed me very deeply. I repeated it in my mind. He continued: "Generally speaking, people have been looking on human greatness with exaggerated re spect. Shakespeare was thought to possess 150 times as much brain as ordinary men only be cause lis literary work was so grand. "But I think people were mis taken In this. The difference in human ability is not great. Shake speare may have had perhaps a 50" per 'cent better brain than the average. The idea that a great man is necessary to lead and guide the world is a conception found only among uneducated people; it has no significance to day. I As history siiows, the anc ient times and ; the Middle Ages were the times of emperors, great statesmen and powerful soldiers. But the history of modern times should be one of the' people." "Then what will control soci ety?" asked the little Japanese Diogenes. "The people, themselves,' re plied Mr. Wells. And then this was the naive, sophisticated, the astute, the in nocent, comment of the Orient, looking down upon the great world movements now surging across the ' Europe that but yes terday was a Europe of the; kings and emperors and now Is a Eu rope of the people, thus saying "But I wonder If they (the people) can do that, having no great philosophy, no good j relig- ion. Can they really be capable of producing a great civilization? In fact. I have been disappointed to find the mutual enmity of be ligerent people so extremely strong in Europe.

It may be that the Orient will have to supply the demand. ;. , ,s . . ; s : ; It certainly seems to be true that the stock of great men has run somewhat low In our west ern civilisations. There are no soldiers., uo statesmen, no actors, no authors,, not even any prise fighters as overtopping as. we like to think the heroes ot the past must have been.

PUXDITA RAMABAI The death in her 64th year of Pundita 'Ramabal. one of the most remarkable women that India has prttduced, will be felt as a per sonal k4a by many Americans with whom she became closely as sociated through her visits to this country and through her extra ordinary work for the uplifting of the women ot her native land. Tbe schools which she establish ed for the education and eman cipation ot child widows, deserted wives and other women held down by the ancient native customs of the land have been one of the greatest forces for good in all the history ,of missions. Ramabal was a high-caste Hin du, the daughter of a Brahmin priest who gave her most unusual educational advantages. Her rare title of pundita was the award for high scholarship and attainment in the , culture of her caste Through her studies she was led to take up her life work and in preparation for it she went to England in IS 83 and acquired a thorough knowledge ot English. During these preparatory days she served as professor of San skrit in the Cheltenham collegv for women. In the United States, it will be remembered, the pundita had the cordial support of Edward Ever ett Hale, .Joseph Cook, Lyman Ab bott 'and: other religious . leaders. 71 GotJSHdtk of ' absolute Mtu, tJtntiUs tk en nJ fradt . of., CtmgoUum on the rugs aye c& actio ::?xyTS vi f-r 0r nn-vrV,. wnri.x"' i .

Barely 12, 000 acres of agricultural land were being worked bjf citizens, ot that race.
