Tally, First Presbyterian charth, Easter Sunday. It a man die shall he lire again?" Thia ase-4onK, world-wide Ques tion which faces erery man in every generation, is answered by Paul with a shout of triumph:- "0 death, where is thy sting? O grSTe where 4s thy rictory ?" The. resur rection of our .Blessed , Lord has extracted the-sting; of death: and robbed the grave of rictory. History, philosophy and science cannot. Indeed, demonstrate a fu ture life, but neither can they veto it. We must always distinguish between historians, philosophers, and' scientists and history, philos ophy, . and science. Workers in these fields sometimes deny im mortality, but their subjects never. Itather dp they present some facts 1 which light our way and bid us hope. For instance, history reveals that all races have believed in 1m mortality; that the belief has per sisted While others have perished; that it has grown with the prog ress of life, and that it conquers. PhUostmhy makes much of man's universal longing for immortality; of his love which refuses to lose its. object; of the power of the mind to transcend material limi tations; and the incompleteness of this life. Science emphasizes the indestructibility of matter, the persistence of force, the adapts tion of faculty to environment, the survival of the fittest, and the principle of progression. - Ail these facts, the more they are meditated upon, -induce a hope that man is not made to die. But assurance is reached in the clear sunshine of the revelation of Jesus. He never argued for im mortality; He assumed it. He said, "If it were not so, I would have told you." He knew, tor He was "one with the Father." He said, "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." He prom ised to prepare a place for us, and to come and receive us unto Him self. Since He ' has been found true and faithful in all other as surances by the experiences of our race for nearly twenty centuries. we can rely implicitely upon His revelation of immortality. "He came to bring life and immortal ity to light." ...Lj. ...... - .ry.'- ' iWIJ s l1WT T JVfOWni!!

There was excite ment. Interest, enquiry, shouting of the good news , as disdple met disciple. The Roman guards came running back to the city to tell what had taken place. They were filled with fear. The earthquake; the heavenly visitants; the broken seals and the stone cast aside by unseen bands turned them into men Of stone for a moment. They were stricken like dead men. Aj soon as. they gained their senses they ran from the place. The women came with their spices, and finding the stone roll ed away . and the tomb empty. came running to tell the dWiples hat they had seen a vision of an gels which said He is risen. Peter and John ran to the tomb. With, characteristic Impetuosity, Peter thrust John aside and plunged In through the opened door to find the tomb empty. He saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin folded up by itself. Dr. Trilmbull suggested - that the cloths were left fold-on-Iold out lining the body of Jesus, Just as He left them without disturbing them, as a moth leaves its chrys aus. The napkin, literally "a cloth for wiping of sweat," lying just as He left it. Peter beckoned to John who entered and saw and believed. "Standing there gaxin at the folded napkin, John saw the truth. Jesus had himself aris en, laid aside the wrappings. It i enough for John. He visited no other tomb. He questioned no one" Exopistor Greek Testa ment. John knew that moment the truth of the resurrection as it bad been shown him on the Mount of The Transfiguiation. When Peter and John had gone away to the city, Mary Magdalene remained at the tomb, i Standing there weeping, Jesus came and spake to her. "Woman, why weepest thou?"

E. H. Shanks, First Baptist church. There is no message the world has ever received that carries more loy than "the message of the resurrection.- There i- not only Joybut a hope that "springs eter naTu" The chimes that ring out the Easter message scatter Joy. to every nation- and hope to every yearning heart. What message could be more cheering to a sin-cursed tear-stain ed, weary world? The chimes There is something wonderfully cheering in the "ringing of the chimes. The succession of bell- tonea swelling through the air fills the heart with thoughts oi God with hope of eternal lite and with courage, for the toil, of the daily burden Of all the bells, those of Easter are the sweetest. There seems to be something new and different in their tone. A joyousness! Havn you . noticed It? " Or is it Just in4 the heart, .something that make the ear detect a ney pulsation of spiritual sense? After the night of sorrow, comes the morning of Joy." Weeping may endure for the nightr but Joy cometh In the monilng." Death has been con quered. Never again may ... that "king of terrors" frighten the children of hope. : : The .chimes of the bells have various messages. The plighted troth; the new life given; the call to worship; the resurrection song, each with a message of its own. Even the passing of a soul is cheered on its flight to glory by the sweet toned music of tbo bells It is a Deal, -a shout of victory; the triumph of a faith that would not doubt, and the redeemed lie s heralded into glory of the. Ater- nal Presence. The uora is risen indeed. Let the bells peal out ths message. 1 "Christ, the Lord, is risen 1 today; Sons of men and angels say: Raise, your Joys and .triumphs " hiah! . .-i Sina. ye heavens, and, earth. reply!"

The umpire, by the change In the rule regarding- auspenslon of play, may call the game at the end of thirty minutes if he, wishes to do so. If, In his opinion, he. can afford to wait five minutes longer, he may; 'but on the other hand there is nothing which prevents him from stopping short at the end of thirty minutes. It might Have been better if the rule had been drawn so that the expiration of thirty minutes was a final dictum to the -umpire to stop play, but the mi it reads is better than it was in 1925. There will be found many one word changes and many changes made necessary br reason of the fact that the coach is brought in to the. rame now as a separate unit. There can be a. proressionai "oa"h exactly as there Is a pro fesionaI manager, "neither of whom Is actively engaged with the ball or bat. In the future If a batsman wants a home run he must touch all the bases under all conditions. There are to be no freak home runs as presents solely to make records. If the batsman gets to first on a wild pitch It will be an error in the future. It should always have been. There is no reason In the world why the pitcher .should not stand for anything which puts a batsman on first base. If the catcher musses up a strikeout the pitcher must get credit for what he accomplished CHANGE IN DIAMOND LAWS IS DISCUSSED (Con tinted from pfe 1) that if a team does not want its captain on the field it can have him in the coacher's boa. It has become the custom to have the captain a player other than one of the regulars. The double-header rule, which makes the first game of the after noon the legal game for the day, has been set apart by itself Instead of being classified with the "regu lation jtame" rule. In Section 2 of Rule 28. about substituting players, there has been no end of confusion among the youngsters as to what "any stage of the game" means when one player was put in the contest for another. Frequently it has oeen ruiea mat a piayer coum th would have adcomplished break down between first base .and tS,,.. it was second, ana u anomer piayer - - wr0 jOT,rfv1n?

Mary's sorrow is turned into joy at the revelation of the risen Christ. She would cling to Him Prostrate, and holding on to his feet, she would keep Him lest He go 'away. Hear the Master say ing: "Do not be clinging to me Mary. Go and tell my disciples 1 have risen and they shall see me.' That is enough. Mary hastens away to the city as fast' as her feet will carry her, to tell that -she hai seen .Him and that He had said these things unto her-: v,, ,"Sb we " might go on with the story. when the' disciples saw the Lord thay were filled with Joy; but. some doubted. Doubting disciples on the Emmaus road with burning hearts, did not un derstaud until He' revealed Him self. Doubting Thomas, when he saw Him no longer doubted but worshiped with heart full of joy. There is one thing about the f resurrection and the appearances of Jesus that lias always seemed a little strange to me. Have you thought of it too? It is this. None of those who saw Him rec ognized him at firstl Mary thought He was the gardener. The tWo, men on the road to Emmaus did not, know Him until He sat dewn with them to break the bread. The disciples In the upper room with the closed doors saw Him and were terror stricken thinking they saw a ghost, until He said: "Be not afraid. It is I myself." Peter and- the others on the lake fishing saw Him on the shore and did not know Him at first, not until He told them to cast -the net on the other, side and the miracle of the woirderful result in the "multitude of fishes.' The natural eye seems to be slow to accustom itself to the great spiritual' presence. Unaided the heart cannot believe, the mind understand, tne eye see clearly Our Lord does not hesitate to show the , abundant ' proofs. He breaks the bread in' blessing. II shows his hands and, his feet and reveals the wounded side. He works again the miracles of grace as signs of his identity. v The resurrection was In itself a miracle of miracles. Paul says: that I may know Him and the ! power of-his resurrection. . . ; '." When we think of the mighty pow er of such a miracle, so perfectly certified to these disciples, we are not surprised that they went for ward, impelled and sustained by a faith that was Imbedded in eter nal truth. . .' These men were no longer con- cerner what became of them per sonally. They had a message that must be .given out to the world. They must succeed. They can do this .through the strength that He will , supply, and do all things, by His divine power loaned to them. The .resurrection of Christ is so closely" . bound up'-, with all that Christianity meant, that these dis-' clples found it the chief theme of the fioapel.- XL we deny tho resur rection .the whole system of Chris-i tlanity fails Into utter ruin, like the arch when the key-stone is re-f moved.,.. Christ has not risen; our.preaching is vain," and. there is ; no . hone for the ; world; But Christ is- risen and all , that tha nieaas comes? to our hearts today in. the -glad . Easter -message...,. 4 I Let the chimes ring out. Jesus; set the bella of heaven ringing tfcat,flrt Easur ,Morn.;i lt4 c-rry the V.llnsa to. earth's to and if touched first base and continued to run for the injured player, the run would count. Of course, that would result in a farce, because slow runners could pretend to break down at first base and faster runners could take their places. The rule has been so changed now that a substitution cannot be made while the ball is in play. ' The umpire always calls "time" when a substitution is made. To Section 2 of Rule 30 thero Is appended the rosin bag para graph which has become famous thus early. The National League will use it and the American League will have none of it. . The rule does not say that the pitcher must dry his hands on the rosin bag. It says he may. There can be a legal rosin bag, and if there is a league that doesn't want to carry the bag, there is nothing to -compel it to do so. Note one thing very carefully. Not a word of the rule about the nse of a foreign substance on the ball has'been changed. To daub of maltreat the ball is as illegal as ,eyer it was. Tne rule in regard to tne pucner throwing to an unoccupied base has been changed so that if he does it once he ts warned, and if he repeats it he is out of the game. This change has been erroneously confounded in some way with the intentional pass, but has nothing whatever - to do with it. The change is very proper and a good one, as It prevents needless delay -of 'the game. Various slight changes have been made in the balk rule, but none of them alter the balk or its penalty. The changes have made the rule much clearer. If a batsman stand at the plate and. In the opinion of the umpire, dodges into a slow ball 69 that he spoils either a ball or a strike, the umpire may put a . penalty of a ball or a strike on the batsman. In the past it has often been ruled a dead ball, and thus the batsman got away with a play at the ex pense of the pitcher. Ofcourse, if the batsman is hit accidentally, the rule of hit by pitcher applies as it always did. The. rule about the intentional pass stands as it did. although the members of the rules committee were quite willing to admit that lt is superfluous and unecessary However, lt had been incorporated Into the rules as sort of a precau tionary warning to the catcher, and so it was permitted to remain. The words "the intentional pass" were stricken from the rule. The leagues do not recognize, or pre tend longer, to recognize, that there is not such a thing as an "intentional pass." Mindreaders can not play baseball in the capa city of nmplres. The distance of a home run if 250 feet, and yet the size of a ground does not necessarily have a minimum limit of 250 feet. A ground may be 235 feet at Its least measurement, but home runs ill not be legal over that 235- foot wall. That point is flatly the pitcher of a strikeout wnen the catcher muffed the ball. The stolen base rule is so modi fied that the scorer may use his judgement and give a stolen base if the runner has shown an active play that is baffling to the catcher. With all that has been done to encourage -base running, scorers have been in the habit of not giv ing the runner on first a stolen base when It was evident that he was trying to draw a throw that would help a runner to score from third. If there ever was intent in a play to advance a runner it was in the action of the man on first, who was recorded with nothing simply because tho scorers fol lowed a rule exactly as It read. The sacrifice hit rule has been changed to read, "when no one is out or when but one man is out the batsman hits a fly ball that ht but results in a base- runner advancing on the catch The change Is in the words "base runner advancing." Frequently, or at least often enough to make it worth while, a run has been scored by two long flies in suc cession. The cnap who batted the rights assured the copT" pain less dentist is -trying to operate on himself." n- ' ' , A regular old soak, well fcnown to the police was brought up in I . t" . . . . ff air, tne ordinary, cob - fore magistrate who knew him perfectly well. He recognized -"his honor" familiarly." " "John Jones," said the magis trate, : with severity, charged with habitual crunaen ness; what have you, to Iter in excuse for, your offense?") I "Habitual thirst, your onur. A lady with a party of friends visiting a stone quarry said. "And which is the foreman "Oi am," proudly replied Casey. "Really?" 7 "01 kin prove it" and Casev called: Kelly. Kelly! Ye're foiri-ed."- . ' . I . , i :--- i , last got! a "sacrifice hit and the one who batted the first got jiothing, yet the run could not have scored had it not been for his play. Tne rules committee logically decided that If Johe fly helped to score run.' so-did the other -And so It did, and so it will. ' x If the change does anything It may assist some batters to a slight ly lower percentage; but if there are any who hold that such sacri fices are not sacrifices, then let the rule bout sacrifice flies be abolished in its entirety. If a bats man advances a runner by any kind of a play ; which is perfectly played in the field the batsman Is entitled; to credit, and that is as certain as spring. In the late war a soldier got his thumb shot off. Turning to his chum, an . Irish man, hfr said: "What .'shall I do?
