Vaxy :iktagdaleme- The firet 'mention sve have of hcr is that alle with other win= were helpfal in mieletering t* our Lord (Luke St arid there ahe le spoken of ait one "out of whom went seven devils." "We intuit think ed her as baldly., had, in their Most aggravated forms scene of the phenom- ena of mental andepiritaat alaeafle Which we Meet, With ht other demoneests, the wretic)eduees of despair, the divided .eons-clousnesee the preternataral irenett the longecontinued, fite o."'ellence."- Smith. The great work thae :Netts did for her: li4 her to love him much and to devote herself ter tierViee. for him, Mary the mother of deunts-demes the Lee*, the son .of Alpheette. Saidine-The wife of Zebedee aud mother of James and John, Bought eplece (IL V. -)--They may have bought them on Friday after - moo before ounset, the beginning of the dewisli. Sa' bbath or Saturday evening after the SW40 wee petit, that they might have them in readiness for use early the following morning. 'Vie spices were aromaties, wed for embalming. Luke *speaks of apices and ointments (23: 50), and John mentions aloes end myrrh (19: 39). Anoint him --Embalm the body in preparation for burial. 2, Very corky in the morning -Tho women left their limes probably at dawn, for they arrived at the sepulchre at 0.1131480. The first day of the week -This was Sunday morning. Jesus had lain in the grave a part of Friday, the whole of Saturday and part of Sunday, making, aecordiag to.the Jewish mode of reekon- fug, three days. 3. They Bold among themeelves-On the way to the sepulchre the women wondered how they were to gain amass to the body of their Lord, thus showing that they had no thought of his rising from the dead. From none of the uar- ratives do we gatherthe lelm that they knew anything of the Roman guard, at the tomb, or of the official eeal upon the etone. Roll us away the etoee- Tombs were 'hewn out of the side of a seek, like a eave, large enough to.admit iseveral pereous. In front of the opening e groove two or three feet wide le cut into the rock. Tide groove extends to one side of the door, so that the circular Stone, ,like a milletone, whieh closes the tomb, an be rolled back. The groove ie made deeper in front of the opening, so that when the stone has dropped into ite place, much force is nesessitry to roll it back. 4. When they looked --They had been wondering and plannine, but when the time eame, the difficultice they had feared had vanished. The stone was ' rolled away -This wee done by an angel (Matt. 28: 2). • Jesus could have left the tomb without having the stone rolled . away, but his disciples could not have entered with it still in poeition before the door. It WaS very great -The teenb was a new one, which had never been ueed. Joeeph had made it with care, providing for its being securely (dosed, but with no idea of the first use to be made of it. IL The meseage of the'engel (vs. 54.) 5. -Entering into the sepulehre-if the womenewere agrecebly surprised in find- . ing the stone rolled 1Way, they were dis- appointed in not finding there the, body Of :Jesus." They saw a. young man sit- ting -An angel appeared in this form. Luke mentions two. but Mark speaks of the one who addreesed the women Thdy were affritilited-"They wore • ameeed."-11. V. • They bad expected to see the body of Rens, but instead of that they saw it. living being, an angel. Luke natio they we're "perplexed" (24: 4,) • They mild not understand the sit- uation. a. Be not affrighted -Thou `words of encouragement were SCAM to be etrengtheued by the comforting &clare- t.. n ef Christ'reotrrection. Ye Hoek Jolts. of Nazareth-- 'The angel iihowed by this statement :hid further direetions to them that he ails a messenger divlee- ly f:ent to them. Ile ie risen; he is not here- They were imprepared .for such an announcement as this. They had mute with all arrangements to anoint the dead body of ;lieu, but Jesue was no longer dead. They rere,, in a ien4e. dieappoited; .but theii visit to the tomb ' was by no 'Means in vide. Behold the place where they had. laid him -as if they might not credit his words, the angel re assured them by showing them the place lettere Jesus' body. had lain and the grave-elothea eareiully placed. 7. Go your way -Their mission wee not to the dead, but to the living. Tell his disci- ples and Peter -Peter had, by his grie- vous and wicked denial of Jesus, forfeit- ed his right to be considered a disciple, but he had sorrowfully regretted his act, arid the divine message included a per- sonal word for him. "Tell Peter, for it will be news more weleome to him than to any of them; for he is in sorrow for sin, and. he will be afraid lest the joy of this good news does not below."e'to him."-lienry. Into Gallilee----Jesushad spoken before his arrest of his ap- praching death end resurrection, and of meeting his disciples ht Gallilee (Mark 14: 28.) S. They trembled and were rotetzed-Matthew's account declares that the woreen had joy also because of what they had seen and heard (28: 8.) Neither seed they anythin gto any man --The women went forward with the meseage to the diaciplee, not stopping to make known the news to any by the way. Christ apepars to Mary (vs. 9-11.)' 0. ile Appearea first to Maty Magdalene gieet -e-In this verse and several othets that fellow various appearances of blirist At. ter hie resurrection are recorded, it ap- pears from the different aecoants that L..*L after Ifery Magdalene's first visit to the , ate eartlehre she went to tell the diselplee and told Peter and John, and later re- • turned to the tomb. It wes then that Josue appeared to her .as reeorded in John 20: 11-18. It is a fact worthy .of note that the first appeareeee of our Lord after hift reeurreetion was to Mary Magdalene, "out of whom he had met _ eeven devils." She was a devoted fol* lower of Jeetee Wows and teat them that bad been with him -s -Not only 4.4; the eleven ilieeiples, bet several of here NOW Irad been the oteasional eompanions of Christ and !Le apostles.--Chirke, A4 .they IfilOttrbed and wepteeTheir alone». int may have been in part bemuse tbey bail foteaken jou; in the hour of his trial, but it is likely that their sorrow vele in greater part bee:wee their hopes of his establishing a kingeom 'were dis. appointed, end thev despaired of his re- enrreetion.

Topie,-Easter morning, L Changed the lalialQU of women, if, Brought au anal to eihristea tomb. W.

',Cc) Jesus, that Sabbath was one of ellenete ilis earthly muni - try had e1ose..1. 1, tho disciplee t was a Sabbath of grief, the deevst they lied ever known. To the Jews in teeir tem- ple werships it Was a Sebbeth of guilt end fear. The women \Ow earlysought thetomb evidenced three great fa.41.07 c'fpower within themselves, great tievo- tien, great courage, and peat persever- mice. They present a striking example of constant love and tenderness coupled with strength and Y.Oal. Their love. true to its lettere, sought the earliest elver. tunny of expression. rt was uuntindfut of obstacles. It formed its plans, mark- ed it eourse, regarded ardently its ob- ject, but took no aceount of the stenos of difficulty which might appear, Very' signal and very beautiful was the devo- tion of thes women. What zeal was •ei their love. They came with the pions inteet of anointing the dead, bar in.44eal they were eitointed with joy in reeeiving the most -welcome tidings that ever fell on mortal ear. Then were tbeliespirit and purposes all changed. The new work of hope was much better than tne old errand of despair, IL Brought an angel to Ohriet'e tomb. Here was one more keeper than Pilate had appointed: one more than the Jews looked for about the sepulchre, Otte whose countenance could daunt a legion of the best Roman soldiere. The means by which melt hoped to prevent the resur- rection was made the occasion for glori- ous triumph. The la,st phase of deri- sion whit% Christ's eneades flung at him was thefirst title under which he was proclaimed by the angel from heaven, "Jeeue, who was ermined." The morning of the resurrection of AS1143 was distin- guished .by the presence of the angels. They had announced hie birth. Theyhad been with him in his humiliation and again with him in his glorious triumph over death. 131 Proved. the resurrection of Ohrist. Thehumiliation of Jesus reached its lowest depths when lie "gave up the ghost." His triniuph was supreme when he arose from the dead. The presence of the angel showed that he who had been buried there was God as well as wan.. His meseage proelaimed that he who had died for all now lived for all. Here we hays the tint gospel sermon after the resurrection, The empty tomb told of redemption perfected and excepted of God. Christ's resurrection. verified all his claims. It was a vindication of an- cient prophecy as well as of the ,personal character of the efeselaet. (Teams had just the same eompaezionate heart after his resurrection as before. Death could 310t change the nature of hie heart, riorlbe dieposition of his. soul. It seemed to be hiH firet object to quiet the apprehen- sion of hie. followers. He .giwo proof of his readiness to forgive and to welcome the sinner ihi sending first tidings of his reerarrection to the men who bad all fo lea ken kiln and fied. What change that Roder message wrought upon, hie grief-stricken followers! Jesus extended the proof of his resurrection lee widely at.; possible. He nutnifested himeelf in the two extremes of the land to which that dispensation was confiu.ed. The blessings of the new diegeensation were not todbe restricted, as had been thoee of old. That first day of the week was to Peter as life from the. dead, that he should Intim been eingled out to receive a word of forgiveness and a 'summons to meet his Lord. Thus began the great plan of reaching the world by the power of the gospel. WOOD PULP ON FREE LIST, Washington March. N. -Definite. agreement bee been reached in the Ways and Means Committee by which wooa pulp for print paper manufacture in all its forms will be piit on the free list .- The rumors,. which emanate from the private hearing of the majority el the -tariff making Committee, grow more per- sistent along the line of a, tendency to disagree at loony points with Chnirman Underwood, Whose general plan of mod- erate, scientific reduction of the tariff with a view to making it distinctly a revenue producer does not fall in with the plan of a majority of the conferees.
