A spectacular show was given some time since when a hulk was bombarded from the air, care- being taken not* to harm it, and then it was destroyed by gun fire from a ship. Brigadier General Mitchell ex posed the farce, a fter having, at the direction of President Coolidge obtained authority from his su perior officer to do so.

In California an officer was railroaded into Napa insane asy lum because, his friends assert he knew facts damaging to his superior officers. A ttem pts to get him out through action oí state courts failed. If he gets an investigation it is to be by the military authorities who put him in the asylum, and if they are forced to admit th a t he is sane they announce th at they will court martial him for the things he has said. When is a muzzle not a muz zle? PERNICIOUS DIGNITY The people of the United States pay more for luxuries than for articles of necessity. The tobacco and candy bills ot the country would suffice, if saved, to feed every man, wo man and child rationally and ac cording to the natural laws ot health. But the most expensive bur den of waste we dhrry is placed upon us by the nationul and sta te legislative bodies. Governor Pierce, by the use of the veto, has cut off half a million dollars of the waste which the recent legislature wished upon us. Vice-president Dawes on inauguration day created a sensation and some m irth And some wrath by men tioning some of the costly fool eries which the dignified United States senate imposes upon us. The amendment of the senate’s rules which he outlines as need- id , the cutting out of the ’ filibuster” from among sena torial practices and a settling down to transaction of business instead of killing of time would cause a big cut in the cost of govern fem m ent and soften hard riait«. but is sucb a boon to the pul»lic probable? Not in any ■way yet apparent. The response of the senate to the plain honesty of Mr. Dawes' statem ent was a drawing back farth er into the shell of "digni t y ” with which th at body pro tects itself from anything like common sense or common hon esty. For it is quite as dishon est for a lawmaker ¡is for a hod- carrier to shirk and loaf on his job a t the expense of his em ployer. The people who carry the burden of taxation aie the employers of congress and ot the state legislatures, and when those lxxiies fritte r away their tim e on non-essentials and when they make extra sessions neces sary because their work was not done when it ought to have been, they dishonestly cause us millions of dollars of expense. But what do they care? They get their salaries, at figures fix ed by themselves, and the world wags on. MRS. DUCK’S DELIGHT “Quack, quack, quack-quack,” M id .'rs. Duck.

The resurrection of Christ Is one of the foundation truths of Christianity. Its entire superstructure stands or falls upon Its reality. It Is the grand proof that Christ was what He claimed to be, the Messiah, the Son of God (M a tt. 12:39 40; John. 2:10-21). His resurrection authenticated his claims. I f Jesus did not rise from Joseph's tomb, H e was not the Son of God, nor a true prophet (H e said frequently while alive that He would arise), neither a Savior; not even a good man, for H e would then be a falsifier However, If H e did arise, all that He said concerning Hltnself Is true. His resurrection declared Him to be the 8011 of God with power (Rom. 1 :4). I. The Empty Tomb ( w . 1-10). John does not enter Into a descrip tion of th e ’ resurrection of Christ, but soys the tomb was empty, and that Jesus had repeatedly manifested Him self a fte r the tomb was found empty. To see the body of Christ w ith u spear thrust and nail prints, and then the empty tomb was all that faith needed. 1. T he Testimony of M ary Mugda- lene (vv. 1-2). This woman out of whom Jesus had cost seven demons (M u rk 10:9; Luke S :2), announced the fact o f the empty tomb to Peter and John. Prompted by great love to H im for His kindness to her, she went early to the tomb even •when It was yet dark.” “She was last at the cross, and first at the grave. She ■toyed longest there and was soonest here." This woman's love for the Master was genuine though her knowl edge as to H ts resurrection was defec tive. She had realized great good at Hts hand, therefore she could not rest in tll »he had done h e r utmost for Him. 2. Personal Investigation by Peter ■nd John (vv. 8, 10). The news of the empty tomb which Mary brought w ith breathless haste so moved John and Peter that both run to Investigate. When John came to the Mnpty tomb he gazed Into IL but Pe er entered IL This Investigation con vinced them. T he removal of the stone from the sepulcher and the arrange ment of the grave clothes convinced them that the enemy could not have lone this. It.

She should have been rejoicing that the grave was empty, for the empty tomb was eloquent proof of H is mesglah- alilp aad deity.
