j A selection of music appropriate to the
festival was beautifully rendered at
each service. The test of the preacher's
discourse was Matthew xrviii. 0,
"Come, see the place where the Lord
lay."
Visiting any great city we are not
satisfied until wo. have also looked at
its cemetery. We examine all the styles
of cenotaph, mausoleum, sarcophagus,
crypt and sculpture. Here lies buried
a statesman, yonder an orator, hen1 a
nru>t nnr there an inventor in some
| other place a great philanthropist.. But
j with how much greater interest an t
I vrith more depth of emotion we look
upon our family plot in the cemetery.
In the one case it is a matter of public
interest, in the other it is a matter of
private and heartfelt affection. But
_ around the grave at which we halt this
* moral'ig there are gathered all kinds <>f
stupendous interest. At tills sepulcher,
I have to tell you, in this sepulcher
there was buried a king, a conqueror,

Ir has for surroundings the manor in
the suburbs of Jerusalem, a manor
owned by a wealthy gentleman by the
name of Joseph. He was one of the
court of seventy who had condemned
Christ, but I think he had voted in the
negative, or, being a timid man. had
been absent at the time of the casting of
the vote. He had laid out the parterre
at great expense. It was a hot climate,
and I suppose there were broad
branched tree3 and winding paths underneath
them, while here the waters

and yonder the vines and the flowers
clambered over the wall, and all around

HONORS AFTER DEATH.
vy nue standing arouuu uie piavt;
i where the Lord lay I am impressed with
the fact that mortuary honors cannor
i atone for wrongs to the living. If they
! could have afforded Christ such a cosv;
ly sepulcher they could have afforded
j him a decent earthly residence. Wili
! they give a piece of marble to the dea l
j Christ when they might have given a
! soft pillow to the living Christ. If thev
t had put half the expense of that mau!
soleum in the making of Christ's life
j on earth comfortable the story would
j not have been so sad. Ho wanted
j bread; they gave him a stone. Christ,
uke every other benefactor of the
[ world, was better appreciated after lie
was dead. Westminster Abbey and
menu mental Greenwood are to a certain
extent the world's attempts by
mortuary honors to atone for neglects
: to the living. Poets' Corner in Wesr.j
minster Abbey an attempt to pay for
j the sufferings of Grub street. I go into
j that Poets' Corner of Westminster Abj
bey, and there I lind the grave of Hanj
del, the musician from whoso music
: we bear today as it goes down reverberating
through the ages. While I
i stand at the costly tomb of Handel I
' cannot forget the fact that his fellow
| musicians tried to destroy him with
i their discords.
| I go a little farther in the Poets' CorI
ner of Westminster Abbey and 1 find
j the grave of John Dryden, the great
j poet. Costly monument, great mortu
ary honors; but i cannot forget the
; fact that at seventy years of age lie
i wrote about the oppressions of mlsfort!
une, and that he made a contract for a
j thousand verses at sixpence a line. J
j go a little farther on in the Poets' Cor-j
kill time; the County Commissioners
j may say, "0, its ail right, we'll have
! the roads fixed now", but allow us
j to repeat that "warned labor" is
i j a A aato /i/1
UUUJUCU, CLCijuaxxj
j The roads themselves is prima
facie evidence of the inefficiency of
| the system under which they are
worked. Why even a blind, deaf
| and dumb man can tell that the law
: is a failure if you just let him pass
! over the roads. Can't any one who
is not an idiot see that this way of
placing a few hoes and old worn out
shovels and an old axe in the hands
j of a few lazy, hard headed negroes,
! ard a few white men, who will not
work because the overseer can't make
; negroes work. We say can't anvI
body see that this is behind the age
' and under this rule the roads steadily
j grows worse and worse? It is as
j plain as the nose on a man's face and
! if we don't do away with this infer
nal, no-account "worn out" system,
j and that very soon, our roads will
| finally fizzle clear out and we will
; have to stay at home sure enough.
In our next we shall endeavor to
! give our ideas as to a change in our
! laws so that we may keep abreast of
j the times. "VV. H. H.
