We do tot hold our'setres responsible/or utterances o,f correspondents or opinions expressed under the head.—Ed . NEW S' -RECORD. A Reply to Mr. Robb. certified copy of the elass•list of No. 5, Goderich township, from. which it appears that the writing and thawing of this class, as well as their work in arthmetic, the number of problems done by each pupil present being rrrar'k- ed opposite his name, were examined and in examining this workit was not necessary to bring the pupils to the front. Now, if it was'nt necessary to bring the pupils in the junior 3rd class to the front, will Mr. Robb be kind enough to explain why the pupils in the other classes were taken to the front? FALSEHOOD NO. 4. About noon on January 25th Mr. Robb says that I assured Mr. Tom in his presence that I had not lodged any charge against hint with the county coun- cil ; that in fact lie knew nothing of the charge until two weeks afterwards. Yet in his letter he says that when the chairman of the education committee read the petition he at once challenged the third clause in the petition, using the following words : "That statement is not true." Well, if my letter charg- ing J. E. Tom with giving a false re- port to the council was attached to the petition, and Mr. Rohb speaking for bar. Wm. Lane writes that it was attached, then how could he hear the petition read and not know the charge was be - for the Council also ? fore closing this letter I will ad- dress the County Council by saying to that honorable body that they should feel proud of their two Public School Inspectors. One of them about eigh- teen month's ag,o signed an apology for uttering and circulating certain state- ments about a man's character. And yet one is truth and righteousness compared with the other. Now, Mr. Editor, I am sorry to take up so much of your valuable space writing about Mr. Robb, of Robinson Crusoe proclivities and his man Friday from the west, but judging front the conduct of the pair, I am led to believe that they imagine that they are mon- arch of all they survey and that none have the right to dispute them. In conclusion, let me say to them that they may wake some morning and find that they are not the people of Ontario. ROBERT BEACOM. Porter's Hill, March 20, 1804, To the Editor of 'Ihe News -Record. SIR,—A letter appeared in THE NEW$ -RECORD of March 14th signed by D. Robb, I. P. S. for East Huron. It might be possible that it was written. by a scholar, but. I think the public will agree with me in saying that • it would be impossible for a. Fentleman to write such a letter. irst he accuses me of distorting his statement about the public schools in his inspectorate ; and second of utter- ing a number of • falsehoods. In reply I will now write the statement which he made to me in Clinton in tire pres- ence of Peter McDougall, of Porter's Hill, about two weeks before. the patched . and garbled one he made to an over zealous Education Committee of the county council, one member of that committee being only a little way removed from a very treacherous ani- mal in sheep's clothing. The state- ment he made is as follows :—About two weeks before the meeting of the County Council I accidently met Mr. Robb in Clinton and entering into con versation with him about our school I told him that Mr. Tom had threaten- ed to withhold our school grant unless the trustees would engage a second teacher, but before I would agree to that I was going to take a petition through our school section to get the signatures of the ratepayers in favor of one or two teachers for our school and that I would take the petition be- fore the County Council. Mr. Robb asked me as a favor not to bring the petition before the Council, saying that it might be a serious matter for Mr. Tom and that I would have no re- sponsibility in the matter. I answered that if he would write a letter to the Inspector asking him to forward our school grant that I would not take the petition before the Council. Mr. Robb replied that it wasn't necessary to write as he was going before the Coun- cil with the report for his inspectorate and he would then speak to ,Mr. Tomo on behalf of our school, saying that he thought we would have no trouble about getting our grant'. Before separating he said that he had schools in his inspectorate with an average attendance of over 50 and that he was not pressing them to engage a second, teacher. Now, if there, Is a meaning. in that statement it surely means that, he is not withholding their grants. In his letter he says that No. 5, Goderich township, is not in his division ; he has not the least interest whether we are compelled to engage two teachers, two Constables, or two missionaries, or whether we are required to provide furniture for two school rooms or bu;ld an asylum. Now for a man that has no interest in our section I must say that he interfered and acted like a, man • that has. It was this same Mr. Robb, on the 25th of January, in the Court House in the town of Goderich, that made the proposal to Mr. Tom that the trustees of No. 5, Goderich township, ale allowed to go on for this year with one teaches' and if the average atten- dance, remains as high in 1894 as the average was in 1893, then the trustees shall engage asecoud teacher. Mr. Torn agreed to carry out Mr. Robb'siro- • posal, hut unfortunately he saw fit to change his mind by breaking his word of honor,. if honor he ever possessed, a thing which is very doubtful. Now, a few words about what Mr. Robb has the impudence to name falsehoods. FALSEHOOD NO. 1. He says that 1 stated to one of the Education Committee, to a number of people in Clinton, also to himself, that the average attendance of 56 was made up of nine pupils under 5 years. I never made such a statement to him or any other person. What I did say was that for four years pupils names had been entered in the register that were under 5 years, FALSEHOOD NO. 2. Here Mr. Robb draws the County Clerk into our school dispute by saying: -Compare this statment of Mr. Lane's ; attached to the petition is my letter charging J. E. Tom with giving in a false report to the county council in failing to take up the junior 3rd class at last visit of inspection of school. As a ratepayer of- No. 5t Goderich township, I had a perfect right to lay this charge before the county council, a charge which Mr, Tom has never denied and which I can prove to he correct by the teacher who was then teach- ing our school. FALSEHOOD NO. 3. In this Mr. Robb says that he has a When Ponce -de -Leon sought to find The fountain giving back lost youth, It may he that he had in mind That draught which seems to make a truth Out of the fable ages old, For drinking it the okil grow young ; it is; indeed, a draught Of gold, Surpassing all by poets sung. The draught meant is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, of course. It is a most potent rejuvenator of the weakened and debilitated system. It drives out all poison, all impurity, enriches the blood, and makes the old and worn out feel young and yigorous. Ponce -de -Leon didn't discover it, but Dr. Pierce did, and he rightly nanmc'd it when he called it a "Golden Discovery."

Beautiful floral decorations almost hid tire pulpit from view, ami the great organ gave forth its tilos', rapturous strains in honor of the day. Ira the fore- noon Rev.

Here is the first cemetery ever laid out. Machpelah was its halite. It was au arborescent beauty., where the wound of death was bainclugetl wall foliage. Abraham, a rich man, not being able to bribe the King of Terrors, proposes here, 'as far as possible, to cover up the ravages. He had, no doubt, previously noticed this region, and now that Sarah, his wife, turd died—that Ieruarkuble person who, at ninety y'ear's of age, had born to her the son Isola!, and who now, after she had reached her one hundred and twenty-seven year's, had expired—Abraham'is negotiating for a faintly plot for her lust slumber. Eph►'on owned this real estate, •aid atter, in mock sympathy for Abraham, refusing to take anything for it, now sticks on a big price—four hundred shekels of sil- ver. The cemetery lot is paid for, and the transfer made, ill the presence of witnesses mu a public place, for there were uo deeds and no halls of record in those early tines. Then in is cavern of limestone rock Abraham put Sarah, and, a few year's after, himself followed. and then Isaac and Rebekah, and then Jacob and Leah.

This is our American Mawhpelah, as sacred to us as the Machpelah in Canaan, of which Jacob uttered that pastoral poem in one verse, "There they buried Aura. ham, and Sarah, his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebekah, his wife, there I buried Leah," At this Easter service I ask and an- swer what may seem a novel giiestion, but it will be found, before I get through, a practical and useful and tre- mendous question: What will resurrec- tion day do for the cemetries? First, I remark, it will be their supernal beau- ttcation. At certain seasons it is cus- tomary in all lands to strew flowers over the moundo of the departed. It may have been suggested by the fact that Christ's tomb was in a garden. And when I say garden I do not moan a gar- den of these latitudes, The late frosts of spring and the early frosts of autumn are so near each other that there are only a few mouths of flowers in tine field. All the flowers we see to•dny had to be petted and coaxed and put under Busher, or they would not have bloom- ed at all. They are the children of the conservator'tee. But at title season . a anti throne Is the most of the year, the i'ic,ti}' hind is till 1Mo:di who flin'ai o{ru- ter.ce, then," you only, "how can you make out that fhe Resurrection Day will bemitify the cemeteries? Will it not leave them a plowed up ground On tlmt day there will be an earthquake, anti will not this split the polished Aber- deen granite, as well as the plain slab that ecus afford but two words, 'Our Mary,' or *Our Chmr•ley?' " Well, I will tell you how Resurrection Day will beau 'ttfy the cemeteries. It will be by t>ring- tag up the faces that were to us once, and in our . memories are to US now, inure beautiful than any calla lily, and the forms that are to us more graceful that any willow by t•.e writers. Can you think of anything more beautiful than the reappearance of those from whom we have been parted? I du not cure which way the tree tails in the bias t of the Judgmueut hurricane, or if the plowshare that day shall turn under the {stat rose leaf and the last china as- ter, it but of the broken sod shall come the bodies of our loved ones not damag- ed, but irradia►ted.

If a man can do that, cannot Al- mighty God, without half trying, return the voice of your departed? And if He can return the voice. why not the Imps, end the tongue and the throat that fasiuoued the voice? Amid if the lips and time tongue and the throat, why not the bruin that suggested the words? And if the brain, why not the nerves, of which the brain is tine headquarters? And if he can return the nerves, why not the muscles, which are less ingeni- ous? And it the muscles, why not the bones, that are less wonderful? And if the voice and the brain and the muscles mud the grate, why not the entire body ? if man can do the phonograph, God can do the resurrection. Will it be the sante body that in the rest day shall be reuniuutted? Yes, but infinitely improved. Our bodies change every seven year's, and yet in one sense it is the same body, On tiny wrist and time second finger of my right hand there is a scar. 1 made that at twelve years of age, when, disgusted at the presence of two warts, 1 took a red-hot iron and burned thein off and burned them out. Since then my body has changed at least a half-dozen times, but those scars prove it is tine same body. Win never lose our identity. if God can and dues sometimes rebuild a man five, six, ten times, in this world, is it mys- terious that He can rebuild him once more, and that in the resurrection? If He can do it ten times, 1 think He can do it eleven times. Tuen, look at the seveuteen'year locusts. 1'or seventeen years gone; at tine end of seventeen years they appear, and by rubbing the hind leg against the wing make that rattle at which all the husbanidmen and vine dressers tremble as the insectile host takes up the march of devastation. Resurrection every seventeen years, a wonderful fart I Another consideration makes the ides of resurrection easier. God made Adam. lie was not, fashioned after tiny model, 'I'm re had never been a human organism, and so there was nothing to copy. At the first attempt God nude a perfect man. He made mini out of tire dust of time earth. If out of ordinary dust of the earth, and without .t model, God could make a perfect maim, surely out of the extraordinary dust of mortal body, and with stallions of models, God can make each one of us a perfect being in the resurrection, Surely tine last undertak- ing would nut be greater therm the first. See tau gospel algebra ; ordinary dust uus 't model equals a pert'eci masa ; extraordinary dust and plums it model equals a resurrection body. Mysteries ah,out it? Oh, yes ; but that is one reason why I believe it. It would not be nlucln of a God who could do things only as far as I can understand.. Mys- teries? Oh, yes; but no more about tire resurrection of your body than about its present existence. I will explain to you the last mystery of the resurrection, and make it as plain to you as that two and two stake tour, if you will tell me Trow your mind, which is entirely independent of your body, can act upon yeur body so that at your will your eyes open, or your foot walks, or your hand is extended, So I find ni 6thiug"in the Bible statement con- cerui ng the resurrection that staggers me for a moment. All doubts cleans' front my mind. I say that the ceme- teries, however beautiful now, will be inure ueautiful when the bodies of our loved ones conic up in the horning of the resurroctiou. They will conte in improved condi- tion. Their will conte up rested. The most of them lay down at the last Very tired. How often you have heard them say, "I am so tired !" The fact is, it is at tired world. If I should go through this audience, and go round the world, I could not timid a person in any style of life iguorant of the sensation of fatigue. I do not believe there are fifty persons in this audience who are not tired. Your tread is tired, or your back is tired, or your foot is tired, of your brain is tired, or your nerves are tired. Long jouruey- iugs, or business application, or bereavo- tnent, or Moistness has put on you heavy weight. So the vast majority of those who went out of this world went out fatigued. About the poorest place to rest in is this world. Its atmosphere, its surrouudiugs, and even its hilarties are exhausting. So God stops our earth- ly life, and mercifully closes the eyes, and more especially gives quiescence to the lung and heart, that have not had ten minutes' rest from the first respira- tion and the first beat. If a► drummer boy were compelled in the army to beat his drum for twenty- four hours without stopping, his officer would be courtmar(iaied for cruelty. If the drummer boy should be commanded to beat his drum for a week without ceasing, day and night, he would die is attempting it. But under your vest- ment is a poor heart that began its drum beat for the march of life thirty, or forty, or sixty, or eighty years ago, and it has had no furlough by day or night; and whether in conscious or comatose state, it went right on, for if it had stop- ped seven seconds your life would have closed. And your heart will keep going until some time after your spirit has flown, for the ausouittltot says that after the last respiration of lung and the last throb of pulse, and after the spirit is re- leased, the heart keeps on beating for a time, What a mercy, then, it is that the grave is toe piece where that wons Brous machinery of ventricle and artery can atilt.

Fur us; on the final day, the most at- tractive places will not be the parks or tine gardens, or' the palaces, but "'i%•' ' cemeteries. We are not told in wltas season that day will come. If it should be winter, those wino come up will be more lustrous than the snow that covered them. If in the autumn, liaise w'ho come imp will be more gorgeous than :he woods after the frosts had penciled them. If in the spring, the Latium on 'which they tread will be dull compared with the rubicund of their cheeks. On, time perfect resur- rection body ! Almost everybody hue some defective spot un his rpnrysical con- stitution ; a dull ear, or a dint eye, or a rheumatic foot, or a neuralgic brow, or a twisted nausete, or a weak side, or an in,flaumed tonsil, or sumo point at which the east wind or u season of overwork assaults Trim. But tine resurrection body shall be without one weak spot, turd all that the doctor's and nurses and apothe- caries of earth will thereafter have to do will be to rest without interruption after the broken nights of their earthly exis- tence. Not only will that day be the beautification of well -kept cemeteries, but same of the graveyards that have been neglected.' and been the pasture' groundfor cattle and totting places for swine, will for time first time have at- tractiveness given them, It was a shame that in that place un- grateful generations planted no trees, and twisted no garlands, and sculptured aro marble for their Christian ancestry;' but on the day .of w•hiuh I speak the re- surrected shall make the place of their feet glorious. FLomn under the shadow of the church, where they slumbered among nettles, and mullein stalks, and thistles, and slabs aslant, they shall rise whim a glary that shall flush the win- dows of the village'inmuree, and by time bell tower that used to call tlrent to wor- shp, amid above tine old spire beside ►v welt their prayers formerly ascended, What triuiupltal procession never di for a street. what an oratorio never did fur art academy, what an orator never did for a brilliant auditory, what obelisk never dhl for a king, resurrection will do fur all toe cemeteries. This Easter tells us that in Christ's re surrectou our resurrcction.iif we are his, yud the resurrection of all the pious dead, is anssurecl, for He was "the first fruits of them that slept." Renan says Ho did not rise; but five hundred and eighty wrtuesses, sixty of them Christ's enemies, say He did rise, for they saw Him after He had arisen. If he did not rise, how did sixty armed soldiers let Him get away ? Surely sixty living soldiers ought to be able to keep one dead man l Blessed be God I He did get away. After his resurrection Mary • Magdalene saw him. Cleopas saw frimu. Ten disciples in an upper room at Jerusalem sale Him. On a mountain the eleven ,saw lliru. Five hundred at once saw Han. Professor Ernest Renan, who did not see Him, will excuse us for taking the testimony of the five hundred and eighty who did see Him. Yes, yrs: lie got away. And thatstakes me sure that ow departed loved ones and we ourselves shall get away. Freed himself from the shackles of clod, he is not going to leave us and ours in the lurch. There will be uo door knob on the in- side of our family sepulchre, for we can- not come out of ourselves; but there is a door knob on the outside, and that Jesus shall lay hold of, and, opening. will say, -Good morning 1 You have slept long enough ! Arise ! Arise I" And hien what flutter of wings, and what flashing of rekindled eyes, and what gladsome rushing across the family lot, with cries of, "Father, is that you ?" "Mother, is that you?" "sly darling, is that you ?" "How you all nave chang- ed I The cough is gone, the croup gone, time consumption gone, tine paralysis gone, the weariness gone. Como, let us ascend together I The older ones first, the younger ones next ! Quick now, get into lino I The skyward pro- cession has already started 1 Steer now by that embankment of cloud for the nearest grate I" And, as we ascend, on one side the earth gets smaller until it is no larger than a mountain, and smaller until it is no larger thou a pal- ace. and smaller until it is no larger than a ship, and smaller until it is no larger than a wheel, and smaller until it is ire larger than a speck. Farewell, dissolving earth! But on the other side, as we rise, heaven at first appears no larger than your hand. And nearer it looks like a chariot, and nearer it looks like a throne, and nearer it looks like a star, and nearer it looks like a sun, and nearer it looks like a universe. Hail, sceptres that shall always wave! Hail, anthems that shall always.... roll) Hail, companions never again to part 1 That is what resurrec- tion day will do for all the cemeteries and graveyards, from the Machpelah, th .t was opened by Father Abraham ia. Hebron, to the Machpelah yesterday consecrated. And that makes Lady Huntington's immortal rhythm most ap' posit° : When Thou, my righteous Judge, shall come To take Thy ransomed people home, Shall i among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at Thy right hand? Among Thy saints let me bo fount' When er mh' archangel's trump ,lintesrtait Tose.
