GLORIOUS iASTER MORN! DR. TALMAGE ON THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. 'O1orx to Gott In the 11ighest, anti on Earth Pence. Good AVill to Ien ' Mortuary loners to the Dend 1%n,, Atonement for Neglect to tihe Living. NEWm YoRK, March 29.-I)r. ''al mage preached an E-aster sermon to his two audiences to-day. Both at theI morning service in irooklyn and at The Christian Herald service in New York, in the evening, the Academies of lusic were bright, with a prolusion of flowers, 1aster lIfies being conspicuous. A se lection of music appropriate to tihe festi vai was beautifully rendored at each ser vice. The text of the preacher's dis course was Matt. xxvii, 6, "Come, see the place where the Lord lay." Visiting any great city, we are not satisfied until we have also looked at its cemetery. We examine all the styles of cenotaph, mausoleum, sarcophagus, crypt, and sculpture. Here hies buried a statesman, yonder an orator, here a poet, out there an inventor, in sonC other place a great philanthropist. .lut, with how much greater interest and with more depth of emotion, we look upon our family plot in the cemetery. iln tine one case, itis a matter of public interest, in the other it is a iatter o, private ald heartfelt all'ection. But around the grave at which we halt, this morning, there are gathered all kinds of' stupend ous inte:cst. At this sepulchre, I have to tell you there was buried a king a con queror, an emancipator, a 1rienid, a brother, a Christ. Alonarch of tine uni verse, but b)one ot our hone, and Ileshll W1 our flesh, and sorrow of our sorrow, and heart of our heart. "Come, see the place where the L1,ord lay."

Aireto feey UROPEAN WAR CLOUDS LOWERING. tartling Disclosures Coneerning the Propagation of Socialatic Ideas. LONIDON, March 29.-This evening's dvices from Berlin state that unusual ctivity has prevailed for the past three ays~ln the war ofilce, and that an un sual number of employees were busy at lie oflice to-day. The E mperor had a iug audience with Chaicellor Caprivi, nt the high oflicials generally look as if omething important was on the tapis. There is no doubt that the movements if Russian troops near the (erman rontier and the evidence of the cordial atimacy betweeni Russia and France kas caused much anxiety in Berlin, and it s possible that the alarm caused by the Lppreliension of war may lead to imipor ant military changes. Besides, the thought that Russia and ?rance may be prepairing for war, the -erman government is said to be very nuch stirre,1 up over startling facts that iave been disclosed iii regard to the so .ialistic propaganda in the army. 'ite nilitary authorities have come into pos ,ession, through a recent arrest, of evi lence going to show that the soc.al de nocracy has been spreading its doctrines iroughiout the ranks, both of the army md navy, and has made nuimerous pro lyites, and that the propagation of ,ocialisn among the troops is not con ned to Germnany, but is syste!inatically .arried on throughout Europe, with the xceptioi of -Russia. and that all the ar nies of Western. 'irope are honey .ombed with the subversive ideas of the )ledged enemies of established institu ions. The Kaiser, it is stated, has riven directions that the evil shall be lealt with imost radically, so far as Ger natty is cotcerne(l, and any oflicer or oldier detected iI propagating the pro libited Opinions shall lie puinishied with Ie uttmost. severity. 'Tlie information ascertained has also weii sent to Austria, ]elgium and I taly *or the war offices in those countries to )e on their guard. The First Ilome Made itehal Gun.
