My text, introduces us into a gar-
den. It is a manor .in. the suburbs of
Jerusalem -owned by a wealthy gen-
tleman by the name of Joseph. He
belonged to the court- -of' seventy who
had condemned •Chriet, but Who had
voted in the negative,. or, being a
timid man, had absented himseif
when the vote was taken. At great
-expense he laid out. the garden. It
being a hot climate, 'I suppose there
were trees broad branched, and their
Were paths winding under these treats,
and here and there waters. dripping
down overthe rocks into -fish ponds,
end there were vines and flowers
blooming from the wall, and all
around the beauties o kiosk and
aboriculture. After the fatigues of
the Jerusalem courtrf 0711, how re-
freshing to come into ' his suburban
.retreat, botanical and p mologicad.
Wandering in the gar en, I behold
some rocks whieh, have on them the
marks of the: sculptor's chisel. I
come . nearer, and I fin 1 there is a
subterranean recess. I cc:Tme down
the marble steps, and I come - to ta,
po tico, oVer which there is an arch-
itrt,ve, byl the chisel cut into repre-
se tations of fruits- and flowers. I
'eniler the portico. On. either Side
there are rooms -two or four or six
rothets of ock. the . walls of these
rooms ha ing niches, each niche large
enough to hold a dead body. Here
is one ro m that is especially weal-
thy of see pture. -
The fact is that Joseph : realizes
he cannot always walk this garden,
and he has provided this place for
his last slumber. Oh, what a leeau-
liful spot lin which to_ wait for the
resurreetion! Mark well this tomb,
for it: is o be ;the most celebrated
tomb in a41 the ages. Cataconebs of_
Egypt, 'tomb of Napoleon, Mahal
Taj of Ind a, nothing compared with
it. Christ has just been murdered,
and his body will be thrown to the
dotes and -the ravens, 'like other cru-'
cilied !sorties, unless there be prompt
and efficient hindrance. Joseph, the
owner of this mausoleum - in the
eocks, begs for Ole ho.dy. of Christ.
He Washes the poor, mutilated frame
front the dust and bloed, shrouds it
and perfumes it.
I think that regularlethbalmment was
omitted. When in olden time a body
evas.to be embalmed, the priest, 'with
some pretension of medical skill,
would point out the place between
the -ribs where the incision meet be
made, and then the operator, hating
made the incjsion,' ran lest he ! be
slain for .a. e violation of the dead..
Then the other priests' would - come
-
with salt of niter - and cassia, and
wine of palm tree. and Complete :the
einhalennetre. But, I_ think , ish. ts cm-
bulnintent pi the body of Christ was
omitted., It *would have :raised an -
ether contention and another riot.

Lord is risen! Let earth and heaven

Some things strike ,iny observation
while standing in this garden with a
new sepulcher. And, first, post 'nor-
teln honors in contraSt with ante
-mortent ignominies. If they could
have afforded Christ•such a costly se-
pulcher, why could not they have giv-
en him an earthly residence? : Will
they give this piece of marble to a
dead Christ lostea.d of a soft, pillar
for the living Jesus? If they had ex-
Pended half the value of that tomb to
wake Christ comfortable, it would not •
have been so sad. a, story. He asked
lii.eacl; they gave him a stone.
Christ, like most of the- World's
benefactors-, e was appreciated better
after he !wan dead. Westminster Ab -
:bey and monumental Greenwood are
the world's attempt to atone by hon-
ors to the dead for wrongs to the
living. Poet's corner in Weatminster
Abbey attempts to pay for the suffer-
ings of Grub street. ;
Go through'atPoet's corner in
Westminster Abbey. There is Han-
del, the great .musician, from whose
music you hear to -day; but while I
look at his statue I cannot help but
think of the discords with which his

him. There is the tomb of john Dry-
den, a beautiful monument; but I
cannot help but -think at '70 years of
age he wrote of .his being oppressed
in fortune and of the contract : that
he ha.d just made for a thousand ver -

ignominies.
Again; standing in this garden of
the septilcher, I am impressed with
the fact that floral and arborescent
decorations are appropriate for the
place of the dead. We are glad that
among flowers cogi -sepulchral adorn-
ments Christ spent the short time of
his inhumation.
- ' I cannot understand what I some-
-times see in the newspapers where
the obsequies are annoulnced and the
!friends say in connection with it,
I 'Send no flower's." Rather, if the
,t f
means allow—I say if 'the means al-
low—Strew the casket with flowers,
the hearse with flowers, the grave
with flowers. Put them on the brow

hand—it will Mean victory.
-Christ . was buried in a garden.
Flowers mean resurrection. Death
is. sad enough - anyhow. Let con-
servatory and arboretum contribute
to its:alleviation. The harebell will
ring the victory; the passion ilow-
er will express eymputhy; the clan-
.
dil will kineile its lamp and illumine
the darkness. The cluster of asters
will be the constellation., YOur little
child loved.,flowers when she was liv-
ing. Put them in her hand now that

Brooklyn has no grander glory than
its Greenwood, nor Boston than its
Auburn, nor Philadelphia than
its Laurel Hill, nor Cincinnati than
des Spring Grove, nor San Francisco
than its I,one Mountain. But what
shall we say to those country grave-
yards, with the vines broken down
and :the slab aslant and the mound
caved in and the grass a pasture
ground for the sexton's. cattle? In-
deed, were your father and mother of
so little worth that you cannot af-
ford to take carp of. their ashes?
Some day turn out. all hands and
straighten the slab and bank up the
mound and cut away the weeds and
plant the shrubs and flowers. Some
day you will want to lie down to
your lust slumber. You caneot ex-
pect' any respect for Your bones if
you line:e no deference. for your an-
cestry. Do you think these relics are
of no importance? You -trill see of
how much importance they are In
the day W 4 -en the archangel takes out
his trUhlpet. Turn all youn cemeter-
ies into gardens.
Again,. 81 anding in this garden of f•
the new re'?pulcher, 1 ant mpressed
Wi th the digates of privat and un-
pretending obsequies.
JosePh was mourner, sexton, liveryi
man—had eeitire charge of every-
thing. ()My four people at the bur-
ial of the King of the Li nieerse! 011,
let, this be consolatory to those who
threueli large acmiainetince have but
little demonstratliin . of grief at the
graves of their 'wait! ones. L'ong-
line of glittering equipage, two rows
of silver handles, Casket of richest
wood, palibeareee gthived and scarfed,
are not .neeessary. lf there be six
at the grave, Christ looks dow from
heaven .and remembers that i two
. ., .
more than wereat his obsequies.
Not recognizing this idea, how
many, small' properties are scattered
and widoWhood and orphanage go
forth into cold charity! The depart-
ed left a -small property, which would
have been enough to keep the family
together ntil they could take care
of themsel ves, but the funera, expen-
ses itbsor ed everything. Th t went
.for crape which ought to ha e gong
neanforibsa recam
. A an of oderate

.of our gr at cities. • By all mans, do.
honor to the departed, but Ido not
consider f neral pageant ae necessary.
No one *i. as -ever more lovingly and
tenderly ut away to sepulcher than .
Christ ou Lord, but there were otp
four peat le in the procession.
Again, tanding in, this garden with
a new •epulcher, I am impresssed
with the fact that you cannot keep
the dead iown,
Seal 011 saahedrin, company of sol-
diers fro n thee tower of Antonia,
-floor of rjock, roof of rock, walls of
rock, d or of rock, .canneet keep
Christ inthe crypts. Come out. and
come up he mut. Come Out and
come up he did. Prefiguration. First
fruits of them that slept. Just as
certainly as we come down into the
dust, just so certainly we will come
up again. Though all the granite of
the mountains, were piled on us we
will rise. Though buried amid the
corals of the deepest cavern of the
Atlantic ocean; we will come to the
surface.
With these eyes we may not look
into the face of the noonday sun,
but we shall have stronger vision,
because the tamest thing in the land
to which we go will be brighter
than the sun. We shall have bodies
with the speed of the lightning. Our
bodies improved, energized, swiften-
ed, clarified—mortality, immortality.
The door of the grave 'taken off its
hinges and flung flat into- the dust.
Oh, my brethren, death and the
grave are not so much as they used
to be; for while wandering in this
garden with the new sepulcher I find
that the vines and flowers of the gar-
den have completely covered up the
tomb. Instead of one garden there
1rIe four gardens, opening into each
thee—garden of Eden, garden pf the
orld's sepulcher, garden of the
rth's regeneration, garden of heav-
en. Four gardens. Bloom, 0 earth!
Bloom, 0 heaven! Oh, rny friends,
',rake up to gladness on this Easter

Hew coal Is made.
Did you know that coal is made
from plants? Not one child in a
hundred knows that! The -gery heat
it gives out is what the plant first
took in.
'What is there more valuable than
coal, that ,warre.s our houses so nice-
ly andgives us such beautiful gas-
light to sit beeon cold winter nights?
All kinds of machinery are worked by
it, from the factory to the engine.
Even the oil that. we use in our
lamps comes from coal and the, re-
mains of plants. If e'ou were to take
a Piece in your hands, you could see
the impression of leaves like those
you gather In the country lanes.
Many have stems, too. They are
very, very hard', and even have the
marks where the roots grew!
Many kinds of ferns and huge trees
of the forest often make coal, for
every coal mine has more or less of
these; ,even the cones of the pine have
been: found .in the coal. _
Peat is the beginning of a -bed' of
!coal- before it grows hard. You know
What a nicefire it makes. Coke,
Which you. often see burning so
brightly in the grate, is made by
driving out all the oil and gases
from the coal—the very gas that we
burn.
Tar often oozes out of the lumps of
coal en a fire, .making little black
bubbles, 'which burst. and burn. Par-
affin oil is made from this very tar,
benzoline, too. Aniline comes- from
benzoline, which makes some of our
most beautiful. dyes. Essences that
,are put in caliches you buy, and taste
so good, comes rom tar. So you
-see that from coiU we get nearly all
our heat and BO t, •colors and pleas-
ant' flavors., Isn't it useful, though?

' -From time immemorial the egg
has been regarded as the symbol of
creation, or new birth. The Per-
: sians believed that the world was
hatched .frota an egg about the time
of year of the spring equinox. The
Parsers celehrate deer New Year at
:this time, exchanging gifts of color-
ed eggs. In the myseeriqus ancient,
Jewish apocalyptic ceremonies, end
in their household during their pas-
chal season, the eggl held a conspicu-
ous -position. With the rise of Chris-
tianity, however, the paschal egg
took on an entirely pew aspect, typi-

Easter egg is not popular me -rely !pee
cause it is a pleasing bright colbr,
but is, also,. a survival Of this an-
-elent and significant practice.
Pasch, Ilace and Paso, Weee (1d
names for ewhat is now universe. I '
called the lEaster egg in all Betel sh
speaking cpuntries. ..At Easterti le,
in medieval times, priests 9rid choris
ters had an odd game of hall with
.
the Pasch egg, throwing iifrom one
to the other in the nam Of the
church, an anthem being s ing mean-
time. As necessarily the gg came
to grief, if it, was not ca ght every
time, eventually the more ubstantial
hand -ball was used ini. tead. In
Prance, in olden times, all1 the hen -
roosts were ransacked for the largest
eggs which were then presented to
the king:
Easter morning, immediately after
the 'high mass in the Chapel of the
Louvre, pyramids of gilded eggs, in
verdure trimmed baskets, Were
brought into the royal cabinet by
men servants and by them given out
to all those about the court in the
presence of the king.
There is a survival of an old cus-
tom still extant in a few of the
more remote parts of France, where
the priest goes around at the Easter
season and blesses the homes of his
1 er Wei oners, who recompense- him
w ith -gifts of eggs both plain and

An old practice formerly prevalent
all over Wales, and in parts Of Eng-
land, and Scotland, still obtains in
Anglesey, North Wales. There, froni
lilotiday until SaLurday the week im-
mediately precedingEaster, the chil-
dren go from house to house solicit-
ing eggs: if no eggs are forthcoming,
they evill take their equivalent in
coppers. They announce their com-
ing by mates of a large clapper so
that the door may be open for them.
An old Northumberland custom
seems as curious as any. There,when
a man asks a woman for an egg and
she refuses it, he takes off her boots
holding them until she pays the pen-
alty, and when he refuses, her the
14aech egg requested, she snatches off
his cap 0.0(1 will not return it until
he pays the forfeit. Her deed is
1110011 easier of a ceoinplishment than
his, and one Wonders just how he
manages it if she objects.
Perhaps, of all countries, Russia ex-
ceeds all others. in the attention it
pays to the Easter egg. Almost uni-
versally the people may be seen car-
rying a, number of eggs with them
Nvherever they go op Easter Day for
presentation to their friends. In gi V-
i »g them, they say, "Christ is Ris-
en," and receive the answer. "He is
risen, indeed." After services in the
church es pr i es ts and lay m ea click eggs

e,is ing a. toast, as an evidence 'of
I.: i ii d ly feel i ng . .
Our practice of "picks' you upper,"
is -practiced in Matly parts of rural
England and continental Europe, the
same rule controlling, the weaker egg
becoming the spoil of the stronger.
Another popular European Pasch
egg contest is to trundle the eggs
down a hill or slope, the ones reach -
Mg the bottom uncracked Winning
the weaker ones. An American prac-
tice of this custom- is the famous
White House egg trundling on Easter
Monday. ilere, 'since the beginning
of the century children gather on the
White House lawn on that :day and
trundle Easter eggs down the slope.
Of late years. the original Easter
eggs have had a formidable rival in
the artificial eggs made of confection-
ery, .or of sugar and filigree, hollow
containing bon bons or any other
dainty offering. Many of these con-
fectioner's eggs are very dainty and
attractive, while others of mammoth
size and cost are very elaborate, and
are just for show.
Old Friends the Hest.
"Every year I am more convinced ief
the value of the good old stand-
bys," says an amateur flower-groe--
er. "It sometimes 'happens that tljie

Droppings in the Throat
A Symptom of Catarrh Permanently Cured
by Dr. Chase's Catarrh Cure.
The hawking and spitting which the
catarrh sufferer goes through in the morn-
ing to clear the thtoat of the droppings is a
marked symptom of this distressing disease.
In the early stags the discharge may be
slight, but it bec mes so thick and tough
that considerable ffort is required to expel
it from the throat.
It is encouraging fdti the catarrh victim
to know that he caln be relieved of this dis-
tress and permane tly cured of catarrh by
Using Dr. Chase s Catarrh Cure. Both
acute and chronic catarrh are eradicated
from the system by Dr. Chase's Catarrh
• Cure. It clears the choked up air passages,
heals the ulcers, and quickly conquers
disease.
Mr. Thomas Sq irrell, 214 Say Street,
Ottawa, Ont., states : "1 was afflicted with a
very severe form of atarrh for nine years, and
was so bad that the actors gave me up to die of
consumption. A ca rut, systematic use of Dr.
Chase's Catarrh Cur brought about a complete
change. I no long r -have any hawking and
spitting, and am pe fectly cured. The doctors
burnt out my throat tihree times for this disease."
