Harmon, Pastor Christian Church.) The annual observance of the re- aurrection day of Jesus from the dead baa come to be almost universally celebrated by Christians of all na tions and communions. The celebra tion of this annual festival Is un doubtedly of Roman Catholic origin, yet if it is a good thing and honors) Christ and His Church, the fact of Its origin should not deter any creed in its observance. Mythology tells us that Estoreeth was worshipped as the Goddess of , returning Spring when new life came back to a sleeping world. The priest hood did not undertake to destroy the mythologic worship, but to transform it into a purer and proper channel by associating with it the resurrection of Jesus. But in doing this there was fastened upon the church the same Easter in commemoration of a heathen goddess and we, in the march of centuries, have retained the appellation. Whatever might have been its ori gin, this day has come to have a large place in the history of His Church, but the scriptural and historical fact remains that the resurrection of Christ from the grave was on the first Lord's day following the first full moon after the equinox. The evi dence of his resurrection from the grave at this particular time of the month and the year 1b more defin itely fixed In the New Testament than the day and the year or time of year. of his physical birth. There Just came to my desk a little account of a sunrise service held each Easter on the summit of a mountain In the great out-of-doors In southern California. I shall only give it briefly: Leaving the city at four o'clock In the morning a vast concourse of peo ple each Easter begins its pilgrimage. Among them are well known writers, artists, playwrights, all the Interest ing people who congregate In south ern California in winter having come here for Easter. By dawn ' fully seven thousand people had grouped on the moun tain top. There they waited, some curiously, some reverently, as hill after hill, valley after valley, of the southern California landscape waa re vealed in the trsnsflguring morning light. Then, Just as the first ray of the sun shot over the rim of the eastern hills, the cornets rang out a prelude, and from the mighty con gregation gathered on the mountain top there swelled forth the words and music of that old hymn: "In the Cross of Christ I glory. Towering o'er the wrecks of time All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime." Up and down the mountainside rang the familiar words and echoed to the wide valley below: "When the sun of bliss is beam ing Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds new lustre to the day." Hymns, psalms and invocation fol lowed, all culminating In the reading of Henry Van Dyke's "God of the Open Air," a poem matchless for this occasion. At an earlier Easter dawn Dr. Van Dyke had been present to Reciprocal elations I 1 1 h " 1 4 Our policy to establish reciprocal re lations with our customers Is based oa mutual satisfaction in the conduct and transaction of all flanking busi ness entrusted to us.

Grants Pass Banking Company Grants Pass, Ore. read the poem himself, but now the solemn invocation to the God of na ture was read by another, eloquently, reverently, yet so distinctly as to be audible to the entire multitude. In an hour's time the service had ended and the long procession of motors wound slowly and carefully down again into the now sunlit val ley, and all the mountain sides were black with descending pilgrims on foot. v REGISTRATION coin is o The total registration of voters in Josephine county is 145 less than It was for the last general election In 1914. The figure this year reaches 3,026, while for 1914 it was 3.171. About 60 per cent of the registration is men and 40 per cent women. In the country precincts the registration of women is pretty light, but in the city precincts It very nearly ap proaches that of the men. The re gistration by parties is as follows: Republican, 1,976; democratic, 768; progressive, 18; socialist, 126; pro hibition, 38; refused to state party preference, 100. Of both republi cans ana" democrats there is a larger registration, the republicans having gained 131 and the democrats 14. All other parties show a falling off. The progressives have lost 124 voters, the socialists 87 and the pro hibitionists 55. The Needlecraft Stop First Quality ART MATERIALS Notions and Novelties, Corsets, Toilet Articles, Japanese Goods.

Stories of ex ecutions and new revolutions, with mention of German money having a part in the Mexican situation, csme from the "rumor factory" today while the limping pursuit of Fran cisco Villa was almost overlooked. It was reported that Generals Luis Blanco, Panflo Nareta, Carrcra Tor res and two others, formerly Car ranxtstas, had been executed at Guad alajara. They were charged with having conspired against the Car ranxlsta government, presumably with Felix Dlax. " The de facto government ts be lieved to be making wholesale ar rests of persons suspected of being Implicated In new revolt plots. Many executions throughout the republic are also reported. The determination to sweep away all opposition to the present regime Is Indicated by the order to deport all foreigners an- tagonltic to the "first chief."
