In the life, this expres 'feeling carries home lever the same message brought to our spiritual ancestors of the first century. A thought and •custom that have so survived all chance and change must be fiirml rooted in eternal truth. The fact of the resurrection of ffesus i s regarded by historical stu dents as one of the best attested of iTincient history. * If it is to he set aside as legendary about all of tin ancient history “ihat we faithfully study In school should gp too. It is impossible to account for the career of Jesus except on the theory that he had a unique and dlflne mis sion. Having such a unique position it is not to be regarded as strange or incredible that he should depart our life in an unusual way. And having this -mission, his words as to human destiny ought to be fi nal whatever his nature, he was clearly the wisest and best man ever lived. We can safely take his word and follow his commands. The ICas ler message is a triumphant one. and it tiids us cast off all fear and have full confidence that all in our lives that is true-and worthy will endure. — Exchange. fdepal bread is * ■ —— — — — — Mam * wlrWW wWWWWw w Cotton Seed Crushers To Attend Convention CO-OPERATION Imosen lip, build, construct, ad vance your fellow man while you yourself, advance.

('olumbbr, April 3,—A large num ber of cotton seed .crushers and peo ple connected with the crushing in dustry in South Carolina Will attend the antiuni convention of the Inter- ^ state Cottonseed Crushers Associa tion, to be held In New Orleans. May 12-14. It is not known who will go jto the gathering from South Carolina, but it is certain that a large dele gation will attend. Charleston and Columbia will especially be well rep resented, it is thought. The crushers had considered for a while the advisability of having the convention in Havana, Cuba, but it was found that hotel accomodations were so scarce and so costly there that this plan was abandoned. The Hotel G'unewald, in New Orleans, will he the headquarters of the crukh ers convention, and there will be hundreds of men connected with the cotton business in attendance, repre senting every section of the South and many other states.
