Send the Message far and wide,
On this gladsome Eastertide
Christ is risen, Lord. of glory,
Let all -earth repeat the story;
Ester bells in gladnese ring,
Welcome to our risen Xing:
Hallelujah! Christ is risen.
Saddened hearts in silence wept,
While the *lards their vigils kept;
At the dawning lovedones bring
Sweetest spices to their laing--
Found the stone was rolled away,
Sat an augel where he lay
With the message, "Christ is risen,"
Send the word to Galilee,
Christ is risen, from death he's free;
Tired disciples bear his voice,
Cease from weeping and rejoice.
Death bath lost its power to sting,
Heaven and earth rejoice and sing
Hallelujah. "He is* risen."
Waft the news to every land—
To Africa; gloom, and India's strand,
To isles of sea, kingdom's dying,—
"Christ is risen," death defying;
Easter songs in gladness sing,
Death has lost its venomed sting,
Hallelujah r Christ is -risen.

Prayer.
Holy and most merciful Goa, our
heavenly Father, help us to thing of ,
Thee eontinually as Thou are re-
vealed to us in Jesus Christ. In the
helplessness of infancy; in the obed-
ience of childhood; in the toil of man-
hood; in the tender helpfulness of the
ministry, when the sick were healed
and the blind restored, when the
children were caressed and the sorrow-
ing comforted; in the days of weari-
ness and the nights of prayer; in the
agony of the garden and the death
of the cross, let us see the • love of
God which stooped to earth in utter
selflessness to seek and save the per-
ishing. () that God's love might find
us first and then transform us, might
recreate that divine image which we
have lost, and implant within us the
spirit of unselfish love. Teach us,
0 Lord, to value life as Thou dost
value it, and to find in it more and
more an opportunity for doing good.
Amen,
Crucified.
A deeply chastened soul writes to
another, these words: "I believe the
only thing is to resign ourselves inn
mediately to God and give ourselves
to Him to crucify our affections and
desires."
There are things we can do for our-
selves told by ourselves, and some
things must be done by another. If
we are to be crucified it Must be done
by others, not by our hands. It was
a Roman mode of punishment, two
strong cords were all that was neces-
sary; make an end fast unto a man's
wrist, throw the line oyer the branch
of a tree, do the same with the other
hand, pull on the lines to a given
height, and the thine is dcne. This
was the common way. The trans-
verse beam was only a city arrange-
ment. Travellers passing through the
woode often came upon suspended
human remains here, a foot or a leg
had dropped to the ground, the ravens
had picked out the eyes long ago as
a choice morsel. Paul saw these hor-
rid objet lessons drying in the sun, so
he could say "e, am crucified with
Christ," and the tope by which theeo
bodies were suspended was not
strange either.
"And they took Jesus and led Him
away." How did they lead Him?
Why, with a rope round his neck.
"He is a notable prisoner, he has the
fashion of giving us the slip, hold
his fast." They led Him from Cain-
phas to Pilate, from Pilate to Herod
and from Herod back to Pilate. They
did it to Him, and some one has to
do it to us or it is not done, Oh,
wondrous interchange He whose
body was crucified, comes to ourselves
and performs the same deeds. They
did it to Him in malice. He does it
to us in love, "As many as are led
by the spirit of God they are the sons
of God. Our souls are made to die,
to die from world to the flesh, to
sin, to the desires otherwise lawful
and natural. Out of death comes
life. We die to live, not by a sud-
den and terrible jerk, but contin-
uously, slowly and really, the grow-
ing soul can say with Paul, "I die
daily." Christians! Those heavenly
powers are ready to complete this
glorious work. Draw near with a con-
senting heart and all is well. Bring
your idols, keep bringing them, do
it gladly, as you do it, sing;
"The dearest idol I have known,
Whatever that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only. Thee!"
You need the highest help for this
glorious work, It is new, it is suf-
ficient, it is heavenly.
"I ask them, whence their victory
came?
They with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to- the lamb,
Their triumph to His death.
—H. T. Miller.
Easter and the World's Conquest.
Easter has a personal message for
each one. For Mary and for Peter, for
Thomas and for Antes' the risen Lord
had a epeeial word. -Itis so still. But
the Easter message is not for the indi-
vidual benever alone. It is for the
Churehas well. To the disciples the
sealed tomb meant not only that
Christ's earthly carte* was over, and
that each had log e leader and a friend,
but that Christ's work as a whole was
at an end. In the sante way the empty
tomb meant not only the living Lord,
but a. kingdom that had mg aside as
swaddling -bands what they had thought
to be its grave -clothes. To us far more
-dearly than to them the stone rolled
away speaks of an open-door set before

prevail against the (newel of the Lord.

As be did so Neville ehanced to glance

the doorway ;and must have heard every

When he came in to diluter he found
her alone, Mrs. Meth having gone to time

to hear full particulars of lest • eight's

The girl sat with her head resting on

"Why didn't you give me up to that

Neville looked up, but his eyes fell be-

ored.
"Why? Do you think I'm smile a
changeable person, Sylvia? You don't
want to go, do you?"
He was sorry that he had asked. the
question almost before he had. uttered
it, for her face grew pale to whiteness
and the grey eyes distended.
"There, there," he said, soothingly;
"don't you be afraid I've got you, and
I mean to keep you. Aren't you going
to eat some dinner?"
She shook her head.
"Not yet," she said, gravely. "I can't
eat—yet; I will presently, in a little
white.' 'She was silent for a moment or
two, still looking at him from between
her arms, then she said: "Wee that true
that you said last night? 'Was it all
the money you had—the money you
bought me with?" .
Neville winced.
"Look here, little one," he replied;
don't let us say any more Omit it, and.
don't you, think any more about it.
Why"—cheerfully, and as if he had lit
upon a, bright idea—"you'd have given
as much for me, wouldn't you?" and he
laughed. -
She regarded him in silence for a mo-
ment, then she drew a long breath.
"Yen!' she said, and got up as -she
spoke and werit to the fire, staning
with her batik to him.
Neville said nothing more, but went
back to his pit, filled up the rest of the
dimmer hour with his pipe, and then fell
to work again.
At tea time -Sylvia came to the pit
with a can of tea and some cakes.
She set them down and stood beside
them, looking down at him.
He nodded cheerfully, wiped his face
and took up the can.
She sat down presently and watched
him in profound silence for a time; then
she said:
"What is your name?"
Now Neville had not uttered. his name
since lie had entered the camp, and he
hesitated now.
"What would you say to jack?" he
asked with a, smile.
"Jack? 'Yee, I like it," she replied,
after consideration.
"All right," he said; "call me Jack.

"A rose by any other name would

"Hallo!. That's Shakespeare, little

She nodded.
"My word!" he said; "you're going to

He lips quivered and her eyes filled,
but she kept back the tears bravely as
she answered:
"My father. He taught me a great

from her eyes ."81tall I get you some
more tea?"
"No no," he said, hastily.

She shook her head.
"Ala when you have given so much for

Neville tilted his cap on to tee hack

As a precaution against coal dust ex-
plosions, Professor William' Galloway
(formerly professor of mining of the
University Cellege of South Wales and
Monmouthshire), in the course of his
evidence before the Royal Commission
on Mines, said that if the coal dust in a
roadway of a mine were regularly
strewn, say daily, with a sufficient
amount of salts containing large quanti-
ties of water of crystallization, or with
much larger proportions of the dusts of
clay, slate, limestone, chalk or other
substances it would be rendered quite
as innocuous as if it were damped with

Making Sealskins.
how many of the fair wearers of seal-
skin know how this fur is prepared? In
the skin of a dog or cat it will be not-
iced, that at the roots of the longer,
coarser hair there are fine, short hairs,
called "under fur."
Iii most animals these hairs are so
few that they are usually overlooked.
Not so with sealskin. The skin after go-
ing through various processes to cleanse
it of grease, etc., is stretched flat with
the flesh' side uppermost. A flat knife
is then passed over it, thinnin gthe skin
considerably,
In doing this it loosens the roots of
the longer hairs'which are -more deeply
embedded then those of the under fur.
The rough hairs are thus got rid of
without injury to the softer fur.
Next the pelt passes through opera-
tions which soften and preserve it. Then
comes the dyeing, by which the uniform
tint so genrally admired is obtained.
And now the fur is ready for making up.

Time Rattler Dees Not Warn,
This IS one reason for the continised ex-
letenee of the rattlesnake in the mishit of
euendos who woad exterminate it, for,
contrary to the general belief, the rattler
rarely give* Its eharacterietle vote of
warniag until actually attacked. Ia fact,
the sharp, vibrant smug of its terminal
appendage is probably designed more to
assist Ode very clefleuee or eventing. In
the first place, serpents possess but the
most rudimentary traces of auditory ine
palates and are practically deaf, the
deficiency in the melee of hearing being
compensated for by an extreme sensitive -
nese of feeling which Makes thenm aware
of the approach of moving objects by the
Aeration of the ground.
Hunters, trending cautiously upon, a
soft carpet of MOSS or leaves to avoid
a rattler without disturbing it or receiv-
ing warning, and while many snakes are
seen and killed by them, it is probable
that a far greater number are passed by
unnoticed. All snakes are timid and
would rather Tun than fight, and the rat-
tler is not inviting certain destruction by
advertising its whereabouts in the brush.
