11. 1. IEnd of the Sabbath- After
the Jtwieh Splbbath was passed, It
closed on Saturday night at sun-
bew n. Tp dawn -Tits women pro-
bably left their homes at different
times. John slays, "When it was yet
dark" cometh M1ary. Mark says they
came et the "rising o'f,,the(sun." First
tdlay of the (week -,Christ wee in the
tomb plart of. Friday, all day Satur-
adv and Wart of Sunday, which was
called three days according to Jewr-
is)l, reckoning. He arose very early
• in the morning on the first day of
the week. Jesus laid in the grave on
Saturday which signified that hence-
forth the Jertvisli Sia,bbath, like all
other Jewish institutions, was dead.

of ellagdala, a teem on the Sea of
Galilee, and vias foremost among the
honorable women who ministered Tin-
to Christ and His disciples, befog es-
pecially devoted to evil spirits (Luke
viii.; 2, 3). There is no evidence that
she wlaseever a (bad, !character. The
other Miary-This was Mary the
mother of James the Less and loses
(Mark xv., 47) ; the same es Mary of
Cieopl:.a.s, a ,salter of the Blessed
Virgin (John xvic., 25). To the woe
then named here Blark adds Salome,
and Luke adds Joanna and other wo-
men, Sepulchre -The tomb was cut
in the side of a rock, like a cave,
large enough for several persons to
enter.
2. Earthquake -The earthquake and
the resurrection took place previous
to the arrival of the women. There
ewes also an earthquake at the time
of Christ's death (Myatt. xxvii., 51).
Angel of the Lord -Luke says "two
men," Jahn says 'twee angels," while
Mark agreeing with Matthew as to
the number speaks of him as a
"young moan," These evangelists ev-
idently speak only of the one who
-did the speaking. Rolled back -"Not
that Jesus could not have burst the
barrier ; but the ministry of angels
was necessary to give form to the
transaction to Duman conception."
3. Countenance. In the original this
word refers not only to the face, but
to the general aspect, the general
appearance.. -Barnes. Lightning. In
vivid and intense brightness. White,
tthis was heavenly apparel. This
dazzling whiteness was the symbol
of joy, purity and glory.-eaco(heas.
4. The keepers. The Roman guard.
Did shake. It was still night. Tile
appearance was so sudden and un-
expected. As dead men. "It is very
probable that the splendor of a.
glorified body is always sufficient to
overwhelm the senses and prostrate
the strength of living mortal" See
Dan. 8, 27 ; ;Rev. 1, 27.
5. Said unto the women. The angel
echo sat upon the stone had enter-
ed the tomb as the women drew
near, and then the women entered
also, and the words of the angel
were spoken to them' on the inside
(Mark 16, 5 ; Luke 24, 3). rear not
ye. The angel's message embraces
the remainder of ,this verse and
verses 6 and 7. He spoke words of
peace and comfort to these mourning
friends of Jesus. The keepers and the
enemies •of Jesus had reason to fear,
but these disciples had great reason
to rejoice. (1. Not here. Tombs and
Roman guards and seals could not
hold the Prince of life. Wicked nen
tried to keep the Saviour in' the
ignave, and for centuries infidelity
had been dashing its surging waves
against the door of the tomb, but
they had fallen Harmless for he is
not there ; "lie is risen." Is risen.
The manner of reuniting of Christ's
soul and body in his resurrection
is a mystery, one of the secret things
that does not belong to us. As he
said. See Matt. 16. 21; 17, 23; Luke
9, 22, 44, 045; 18, ,31-33. See the
place. Pointing doubtless to the
Particular cell in the wall of the
tomb-Whedon. This would be con-
vincing evidence.
7. Go quickly -Tele resurrection did
two things. 1. It revived the dead
hopes of the disciples. It wias a time
of gladness and brought (1) joy, t2)
victory, (3) faith. 2. The resurrec-
tion brought hope to humanity. (1)
It brought the hope of blamed im-
mortality. (2) It ;fives assurance of
our own resurrection with, spiritual
bodies like His glorous body. (3)(: Christ
is alive and is thus table to make His
promises good to is; lee is able to
save unto the uttermost, seeing Ile
"ever live•th." Tell Ms disciples- In-
stead of anointing Heim as dead 'they
may rejoice in Hie being alive from
the dead. "Death hath no more do-
minion over IFiim." Into Galilee -ec-
cording to His promise in Matt.

that when she told Peter and John
of the empty 'tomb they at once ran
to tits sepulchre to see for tliemeelves
(John xx, 2-10), land she also re-
turned at once to the tomb. Dur-
ing her absence the other women had
received their commission from the
angel and had hurriedly left. Peter

remained alone at the tomb weep-
ing All hail -Literally, rejoice; the

While we sleet. Itibe absurdity of
this position is stepparent ; "I. The
disciples could not have stolen Jesus
away had they attempted it. 2. The
disciples were as much amazed at the
news of the resurrection as were

set to watch Jesus' tomb would not
all be asleep at the same time. 4.

large sums of money merely to have
reported a truth. 5. Sleeping sol-
diers could not know what took

PRACTT!CAL SURVEY.
A most difficult task was it for
Jesus to prove to all men, for all
time, his divine character. To success-
fully accomplish this was a matter ,
of supreme Importance. It was also l
importa.ut as to show that he was
really man. Ills ,divene priesthood
must be clear. L[e accomplished this
important work in a manner to chal-
lenge the adm.ratiou of all created
intelligences. His coming was fore-
told for hundreds of ,years, His birth
was ni raculo..s His worst, was super-
human. His character above re-
proach. His teachings fraught with
the bighest wis:lom. Ws death "like
that of a God."
Hes resurrection was not only the
supreme re.raele of lots late,. but the
miracle of supreme importaece.'Dhe
prophecies concerning. Jesus give
great assurance to the devout be-
liever, but do 'not compel assent to
those who wish to be skeptical: His
m raculoas birth-"to..c.ived by the
Holy Ghost, bora of the Virgin Mary"
-can ba proved only by circum-
stantial evidence. Concerning leis a
public acts and ministry there can ,
be no reasonable grounu for doubt;
tbat is, they can be established be-
fore any etvil court where the or-
dinary laws of evidence govern the'
provieg of facts.
I1be divine nature of Jesus is es- '
tivbitebed to the entire satisfac-
tion of moat minds bee his miracles,,
,showing hie authority over the ma-
terial world ; as the water turned
into wine; the multiplioation of the
bread to feed 'the multitudes; the
catching of the fish with the moneys
in its 'mouth ; 'His power over the
winds and waves. Again, His divin-
ltyl appears in His power to heal all
manner of disease; the blind see, Ube
lame walk, lepers are cleansed, de -
vias are east out.
The resurrection Involves life from
the dead. Hits Jesus power to raise
the dead ? His power over death
appears in ithree distinct instances:
Seines' dauigbter, the ,son of the wi-
dow of Nein, and Lazarus. These in-
stances are given with such de'fin-
initeness o: 'detail and are so thor-
oughly! representative ,that more evi-
dence of 'thee kind, is not needed. The
young woman, Just lead; the young
man, on his Ways to burial ; Lazarus,
dead four days, each and all respond
imertedeatele to ails divine eommand.
The miraclee of Jesus were all
:w'rought in, the open and under cir-
cumstances where everything about
then could be known ; usually! in
the pre4senoe of the multitude, in the
light of open day, on the public high-
way, or in the wilderness. The per -
1 ormanees of tihe deceiver are us-
wally in the dimly lighted room, in
the presence of a few, trustted, fol-
lowers, in some favorably) located
and previously prepared apartments;
all calculated to throw, sueeecion on
the genuineness off the exhibition.
The Jews /did not have a, very well
defined knowledge of the resurrec-
tion. Comparatively little is Maid
abodt in in the Old Testament Scrip-
tures. Job, 'David and Daniel speak
with greaater clearness than any
duper of the welters, but ,so dims was
the knowledge that Paul does not
hesitate to says that "death reigned
from Adam 'to ;lftoisee." Martha and
Mary appear 'to have had a tolerably
clear knowledge of the resurrection.
Istartha said: /'I known that Ile shall
shall rise in the resurrection at the
last daffy,! "
What a 'boon that he arose on the
third day 1 Had his body remained
in the tomb of Joseph until 'the
morning of the ' general resurrec-
tion, how much of doubt would have
filled the minds of men concerning
the final outcome ! How thankful we
should be that the question was for-
ever set at rest "very early in the
morning" on that first, glorious
Easter ! All the case taken by the
Jews to prevent what might be re-
ported as a resurrection, viz., the
seal and the Roman guard, only.
helps to confirm the faith of the
believer. Whatever men could de they
did do so to keep Jesus in the grave;
but "he arose." The atone rolled
back, the state seal was broken, Ro-
man soldiers "became as dead men,"
and devils fled to their dark domain
when the all-coneuering Jesus march-
ed in triumph from the tomb, the
"first fruits of the resurrection."
Jesus arid the resurrection was the
theme of apostolic preaching. It ap-
pears that the fact of his resurrec-
tion was as important to proclaim
as that Jesus of Nazareth was the
Christ. Paul said, "If Christ be not
risen, your fftith is vain," "ye are
yet 10 your sins." So persistently
had this doctrine been preached by
the Christian church that within to
the Christian clllirch that 'within
the hounds of Christendom all
Christians and non-Christians believe
it It Is "a whole'seme dortr'ne and
one exceedingly full 'of comfort," --

TATE OF THE JAPANESE HOBSON
j span's Homage to Her Latest Hero.
(Reproduced by permission, from Col-
lier's Weekly, of May 21st.)
Tokio, April 13, -To -day a small piece
Pi flesh, which was once a portion of
the body of a young naval officer, was
I:hried here with such honors from the
Mikado and Government, and, on the
part of the people, with such demonstra-
tions of reverence, that, as half saint,
half hero, the memory of Commander
I3irose now ranks in Japan near to that
el the Forty-seven Remus.
Hirose attempted what Hobson et-
a -meted, and in the venture lost his life.
That he died in an effort to save the life
oone of his crew, as well as in an ef-
fort to serve his country, has not les-
sened the value of his sacrifice. The
sentiment of the Japanese toward him
in that same sentiment which Kipling
declares considers less the Commissary -
General than the Tommy who steps out -
stele the square to drag a companion to
safety.
On the night of the second attempt to
block the entrance to Port Arthur, Hi -
rose commanded one of the four steamers
marked out for self-destruction. They
e ere picked up two miles distant from
the harbor mouth by the Russian search-
lights, and the remainder of the run was
raade under a terrific fire from both the
€hardships and the forts. Hirose's steam -
ex, the Fulati Meru, had reached the har-
bor mouth, and was about to anchor in
1he entrance when she was struck by a
torpedo. At the moment, Sugino, a gun-
ner, was below, lighting the magazine
which was to Were lee the vessel and
let in the water. But the torpedo had
' let in the water, and Hirose and his
crew' were escaping from the sinking
steamer in the shore boat before they
discovered that Segipo was not with
them. Hirose instantly climbed again
ou board and ran below, searching for
the missing man. He failed to find him,
and on returning to the deck and learn-
ing he :had not yet reached the shore
boat, twice again went below, the last
time remaining there until the rush of
the rising water drove him on (leek. He
bad just dropped in safety into the shove
boat, when a shell struck him and tore
11im into small pieces. One of these
pieces fell in the boat. It was buried to-
day. But before it was buried it was
treated with the honors paid to a reign-
ing monarch. As it passed in the trans-
port that conveyed it to Japan, it re,
ceivecl
e-
ceived the salutes of the entire Japanese
fleet, the guns were fired, the yards were
manned, the flags lowered to half mast,
Later a detail of officers escorted it to
Tokio, where it was met by a great con-
course of people, and to -may as it was
borne on a gun carriage to the grave the
people turned out to do it reverence,
and in thousands and thousands lined the
streets. Before tan procession moved
the Mikado sent to Hirose's family a roll
of silk, a compliment the importance of
which can be understood only here, and
raised Hirose and his family to the senior
grade at court. And at once his statue
is to be erected, in one of the public
parks. This in a city where the only
statues I have seen are those of imperial
princes.
Already the true story of Hirose is
being hung with legends. As the trans-
port carrying the piece of flesh passed
1 he battleship on which Hirose had served
the engines refused to work, and for a
few minutes the transport lay motion-
less.
"This, whih es
r,1 the wholes quadrone"dsays a$ Japabefore the n se
paper published last week in Yokohama,
made a great impression upon all who
witnessed it. It was as though the brave
Iiirose even in death refused to be sep-
arated from the ship ie. which he had
held command."

Happened on the last visit of the Em-
peror to England, how the British Gov-
ernment, against their will and inter-
ests) and apparently against their
knowledge, were drawn into the Vene-
zuela • mess and the Bagdad Railroad
imbroglio, we can hardly wonder at this
feeling of anxiety, •
"We feel pretty sure that a' determin-
ed attempt will be made by the Ger-
mans to compromise us. The Emperor
indeed, is almost bound to make the at
tempt, so sore are the people at their
present isolation and repeated failures
in the region of international policy. We
may then confidently expect that Ger-
many is preparing to act on the maxim
of `when in doubt and difficulty pull
England's leg; she is too stupid to un-
derstand what we are doing.' Germany
therefore, is always trying to produce
evidence to prove that she is in reality
Russia's best friend, and that, though
she is not bound. by any alliance, as is
France, her good -will is much more act-
ive and more efficient than that of
France.
"Suppose Germany, in the most
friendly and most disinterested way,
were to talk to us, not about interven-
tion -that is naturally not to be
thought of, considering the special re-
lations between Great Britain and Ja-
pan -but about helping Russia to make
a peace honorable to her and favorable
to the best interests of all the powers
interested -in the far East, including
Japan ?
"If the suggestions of Emperor Wil-
liam for joint British and German ac-
tion are of this kind, or for anticipating
the course of events iu Macedonia, Asia
Minor or Syria, we trust they will be
met at the very outset with a simple
non possumus, and that we shall refuse
to even test with a toe the surface of
the bog, which we shall be assured is
quite firm."
It is understood teat King Edward
will be accompanied to Kiel by a mem-
ber of the Cabinet, probably Lord Lans-
downe, so that the Foreign Office will
be in a position to keep in touch with
all developments and advise the King on
the spot.
London, Jenne 13. -Bing Edward's na-
tivity in the fleld of international diplo-
macy has given rise to some uneasiness
in Foreign Office aid other Government
circles, which finds special vent in the
comment regarding the forthcoming
meeting of His Majesty with Emperor
"William at Kiel, The Spectator voices
this feeling to -day, expressing grave
alarm at the possibilities which may en-
sue from King Edward's German visit,
saying
"It is suggested that the Emperor
will take the opportunity of lits royal
uncle's visit to en •angle us in some form
of agreement with Germany, or that,
even if things do not go so far as that,
Emporor William will somehow manage
to cola pronuse us in the region of for
sign politics. When we remember what
. FISHING REGULATIONS.
The New Rule Allows for Eight Bass
Only.
'The new fishery regulations recom-
mended ley Mr, S. T. Bastedo, On-
tario Commissioner of Fisheries, have
been confirmed by the Dominion Gov-
ernment. %.they will go into effect at
once. The most important change is
that reducing from 12 to 8 the num-
ber of bass permitted to be caught
by any angler in one day. The size
limit, 10 inches, remains the sante.
(Dale regulation reads as follows;
No one shall fish for, catch, or kill,
in any of the waters of the Pro-
vince in any one day by angling,
or shall carry array a greater num-
ber than eight small or large mouth-
ed black bass, four maskinonge,
twolve pickerel, four lake trout.
Of speckled trout or brook trout
no more may be caught than in the
aggregate shall exceed In weight 10
pounds, or no greater number than
thirty, though that number may
weigh less than ten pounds.
The size limit for pickerel is fifteen
inches; for maskinonge, thirty inches,
measuring from the point of the nese
to the centre of the tail. The sale
and export of speckled trout, black
frees and maskinonge is prohibited
far a, period of five years, provided,
lowever, that any person from, a
foreign country .fishing in the waters
of the Province who obtains an ang-
ler's license Mee, upon leaving the
Province, tak' with him the lawful
eatoh of two days' fishing.
CONTROL OF THE SEA.
Sir John Colomb Says Britain Must
Maintain It.
London, June - -Sir John Colomb,
P., writing on "Imperial Defence,"
says the T7nitcd Kingdom cannot live
without the freedom of the sea. and the
British Empire would tease to be it real-
ity the moment eontrol of the sea is
in serious jeopardy. Referring to the
report of the Committee on Defence, he
says the immense advantage gained by
the work of the committee is that the
defensive policy of the Empire will no
longer be retie by. a department purely
military in its character and without
any knowledge whatever of naval prinei-
pies and practice, In regard to con-
scription, the thinks it is impossible.

B radstreets on Trade.
Wholesale trade at Montreal con-
tinue's of fair dimensions leut it is
not specially! active. The sorting
trade in laeasena.lpie goods is a. lit-
tle more active in some lines. Values
of manufacturers generally are
pretty well 'maintained. The slopping
business is isboweng a good deal "at
activist,!'.
In Toronto there leas been a mod-
erate amount of activity this week
in wholesale trade. Prices of staple
goods are eteadyl to firm, The out-
look for ifa1I business is very fair.
Prices for Nebel are a little firmer.
There is ti, Tait- demand for moneys
and rates are ,steadee
At Quebec, the sorting demand for
the week bas been fairly active, and
it is likely to continue for a fewi
weeks. With continued seasonable
weather the prospects are favorable.
The movement in E'amilton whole-
sale trade as reported to Brad-
,street';s this 'week is showing an In-
crease in 15tnnnn 'departments. There
is a good demand for sorting retail
stocks end, 'this is expected to grow,
as the .season advances. The con-
dition,s of general trade are Oound.
In London, the jobbing trade this
week has been occupied largely with
alerting orders, which have been
coining forward 'quite freely.
The most favorable outlook for
the wheat crow is having a good ef-
fect on the wholesale trade situation
at Winnipeg.
Busin•e*w ,at Ottawa is fairly ac-
tive. Prices are firmly' held.
It's dollars to doughnuts that half
the people who want to bet have just
much difficulty putting up one as the,
ether.
