TJj e Lexington JMspatch Wednesday, April 9. 1902. Easter Remarks. To the Editor of the Dispatch: "Consider the lily of the field." We must take cur J^ora s woras exactly. He is speaking of the lilies, ' the bulbous plants which spring into tiowerB in countless thousands every spring over the downs of Eastern lands. All the winter they are dead, unsightly roots, hidden in the earth. But no sooner does the sun of spring shines upon their graves than they rise into life and beauty as it pleases God and every seed takes its own pe culiar body. Sown in corruption they are raised in incorruption; sown in weakness they are raised in power; sown in dishonor they are raised in glory; delicate, beautiful in color, perfuming the air with fragrance, types of immortality fit for the crowns oi angels. "Consider the lilies of the field" how they grow, for even so is the resurrection of the dead. Yes, but not without a divine providence?yea, a divine inspiration?has the blessed Eastertide been fixed by the Church of all ages at the season when the earth shakes off her winter sleep: when the birds come back and the flowers begin to bloom. When every seed which falls into the ground and rises again with a new body is a witness to us of the resurrection of Christ, and a witness, too, that we shall rise again; that in us, as in its life, shall conquer death when every ^ bird that comes back to sing and 1 build among us, every flower that blooms is a witness to us of the resurrection of the Lord and of our ras' urrection. The resurrection of the earth from her winter sleep commemorates to us as each blessed Eastertide comes round the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and is a witness to us ^ that some day life shall conquer death; light conquer darkness; rightousness conquer sir; joy conquer grief: when the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain until now shall have brought forth that of which it travaileth in labor even the new heaven and the new earth wherein shall be neither sighing nor sorrow, but God shall wipe away tears from all eyes. We will all be present in the resurrection morning. In that glorious morning of the resurrection the saints shall put on their new fresh garments of fresh, richly laid and trimmed with glory. Those bodies which in the grave were dust shall be shining and excellent pieces absolutely and everlastingly freed from iDfirmaties, deformaties and natural necessities. True the glory of the soul will be the greatest glory. That's the orient in valu Me gem; will beRtow a distinct giv " upon the body and richly 9 enamel tb ^ver case in wbicn mat [ jevrel shall be kept. As a smiling after tears, As bloom after blight, As hope after fear. As day after night, Thon art, 0, Easter! Sent to impart, Messengers of gladness, Unto each heart. Loyalty and His Sister.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. P A case was being tried in a country court. A horse bad been stolen from a field, and the evidence all pointed to a certain doubtful character of the { neighborhood as the culprit. Though & bis guilt seemed clear, he had found a lawyer to undertake his defence. At the trial the defendant's counsel expended his energy in trying to confuse and frighten the opposing witf nesses, especially the farmer whose j testimony was particularly damaging. i The lawyer kept up a tire of questions, asking m?Dy foolish ones, and re- j peating himself again and sgain in i the hope of decoying the witness into ; ( a contradiction: i 1 "You say,'1 the lawyer went on, J "that you can swear to having seen c this man drive a horse past your 1 farm on the day in question V j t "I can,1' replied the witness, f i wearily, for he bad already answered ! c the question a dczen times. I t "What time was this ?*' i i "I told you it was about tbe mid- | * die of the forenoon." J 1 "Bat I don't want any 'abouts' or ! 'middles.' I want you to tell the j t jury exactly the time." r "Whv." said the farmer, "I don't 1 * always carry a gold watch with me ^ when I'm digging potatoes." 6 "But you have a clock in the house, haven't you ?" "Yes." "Well, what time was it by that?" "Why, by that clock it was just 19 1 minutes past 10." I "You were in the field all the i morning?" went on the lawyer, smil- r ing suggestively." 5 "I was." I "How far from the house is this E field?" ! a "About half a mile." ''You swear, do you, that by the clock m your bouse it was just iy J minutes past 10?" "I do." s The lawyer paused aDd looked tri- t umphantly at the jury. At last he had entrapped the witness into a i contradictory statement that would a greatly weaken his evidence. ! t The farmer leisurely picked up hie c hat and started to leave the witness t stand. Then, turning slowly about, d he added: t "I ought, perhaps, to say that too c much reliance should not be placed t on that clock as it got out of gear t about bit months flan, and it's been f O ' < 19 minutes past 10 ever since." c i; Every Healthy Boy t Likes to get himself into places of j c danger.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, I All Aboard for Tesas. LexiDgtoD, S. C, March, 1902. Dear sir: For our Reunion at Dallas, Texas, April 22 to 25, General C. I.

The j fare for the round trip is only $22.25 from Lexingtor, S.

In addition to this train, the Southern Railway operates double daily train service in each direction. For the return trip we would either leave Dallas at 8.55 a. m. or 7 15 p. m , making the trip home in about thirty-six hours. Yours truly M. D. Harman, Colonel. Tlis Bible on Cats.
