W. S. SAYRES. F a man die shall he live , l( y | again?" has been the ques- In C 3 O tion of the ages Men have nt n ~ tried in vain to answer it. 0j T^O*' Philosophers have reas- ar oned, poets have dreamed, bc great souls have hoped, but all without any certainty. The analogies of 0f nature, the requirements of justice, y the sense of artistic or scientific unity, pj. have shown the probability of immor- (u tality. and that only to the few. Eut ar there was no convincing proof of any- ^ thing beyond the grave. Man was an sj( animal, and like an animal he must cense to exist The dramatist, indeed, ~~ had visions of a dreary, sh itfowy existence in the underworld, but it was only the life of ghosts, and was not to be compared even with the present life. Most touching, indeed, were the epitaphs on heathen grave.;, "Farewell Forever, O Brother." The world was full of those who longed "for the f touch of a vanished hand and the sound ' of a voice that was still." Difficult, indeed, is it for us to put ourselves in the positioir of those who knew of no future life. The gloom of a limited existence was unrelieved by any back- K ground of light. This world was all. \ There was no hope. Some few, like the Stoics, proudly made the best of it and when life became t >o hard ended it by self-dostructlon. Same, like the Epicureans, adopted the motto, "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die." A rare few, like Plato, hoped against hope. The effect of lis on morals was ter rible, and degr: ling. The animus of idolatry was e her fear, or lust, or both conjoined. The unknown gods were to be pla< lted. at flrst by oJTerings, and at las; by iniquity. But when at ist, "in I he fulness of time." when the world had had time to prove its helplessness and the futility of its systems, and was ready for the truth, the light came. ? Beautiful as a vision, sweet as a song, was the story of the resurrection. The glory of the risen Christ bewildered the world with its unspeakable gladness. Men had not looked for this. The golden light streamed all at once through the open gates of Heaven, and in that light the enigmas! of life were clearly read. Human life j was not a tragedy, but a poem, a drama, where the last act was an endJess life of glory and activity. The old faiths were but the broken tomb, tbe empty grave clothe*, that broken bands that had blinded and fettered .human life and freedom. What wonder then that the disciples eagerly 6ped into all the lands preaching the resurrecuon, carrying i ae goou news of tbe victory over death into the forests of Europe, tbe wastes of Africa. _ tbe plains of Asia aucl tbe isles of tbe sea. What wonder It at the new belief inspired enthusiasm, extinguished the pains of martyrdom, and converted tiie empire itself. Tbe knowledge of a future life brought ? rew force Into the world. Modern civilization is the va present, but not the final result. Man's of horizoi^ was enlarged until it was re bounded only by infinity. The expan- Pr sive power of the resui rection on human thought and life jean hardly be wi measured. Human progress dates from tic the resurrrction. Tbe burdens of life on are lightened.

Thus futur cognition becomes a certainty an ogress a necessity. It is interesting to conjecture whs ill be the nature of our future cond >n and occupations. We can do th] !y partially. The child cannot con ehend the man's thought, nor th liiual, the man's. But we may bi ;ve that each soul will find som cougenial^^^^^Jj mmmmmmrnmrnrn of present tastes.. $be universe Is so inconceivably vast that there will be an infinite scope for every man to exercise liis genius. There will be no idleness, for activity is necessary for happiness. Nor will men of a practical turn be required to spend an eternity playing on harps. It is reasonable to suppose that men with a talent for leadership and governing will have some field in which to govern and lead. "Ye shall judge angels." The teacher may teach in other worlds. Those who trw minictnr in 'works of nmror to alleviate suffering, may find employment in their special calling. Music, poetry, art, science, philosophywill not be lost out of that life, and the artistic creator may be employed in fashioning new worlds. In fine, speculation finds no limit to the possible and probable fields of future activity. Powers and capacities that are here felt, but are dormant for want of opportunity, will doubtless be satisfied. "Satisfied! Satisfied! The spirit's yearning For sweet companionship with kindred minds; The silent love that here meets no returning, The inspiration which no language finds." ? But will all men have this happy immortality, or will it be restricted by conditions? This is a question for the theologians. Science teaches that the fittest survive, and the teachings of the risen Lord make Him the only source of the resurrection. The only man who has yet arisen makes perYsoual relationship of some sort with Himself to be indispensable, but it may be postulated that the demands of nal ture and of revelation will be found V identical, since both are from the same mauthor. It may also be suggested that to persons who are criminal, vicious, satanic, an infinite prolongation of life, with no change of character, would mean an infinite development of unbappiness. Good work is never wasted when life is viewed as a preparation for eternity. Nothing we learn is to be lost, but will have its fruitage by and by. Benvenuto Cellini, the famous artist, when asked why he had spent so many weeks making a certain miniature carving on a gem, replied that he expected to live forever, and a few weeks was well spent in preparing himself for the future. And so the old problem has been solved, and we rejoice at the Easter season, which preserves the historical testimony of the fact of the resurrection. Our bodies may indeed sleep in the grave, but our souls shall rest in consciousness until the perfect consummation of the general resurrection. "There is no death. What seems so is transition.

Have you ever tried by imagination, sympathy, and love to enter into "the fellowship of His sufferings" (Phil. 3:10)? It is the climai of Christian experience. Suggestions. Those that have known the resurrection from the death of srn need no other assurance of immortality. "The power of His resurrection" must be made by us a power in other lives before we can fully receive it in ; | our own. The measure of a Christian is the i degree in whfch he does not shrink ; from physical death, but does fear , I spiritual death. | Every strong man wants power; j I and no power that man can gain Is !

This lesson irom nomans is a. part of that argument of Paul's on exemption from the necessity of sinning based on the power of a risen Christ. The argument Is that as Christ had death, burial, and resurrection, so has the Christian a death and burial to sin, and a resurrection to holiness. And of this great fact baptism is a symbol and sign. Those who would read into this passage an argument for the mode of baptism mistake the whole symbolism of the passage. If the "burial" is literal, so must the "planting" and the "crucifixion" be. The passage is, however, a powerful argument for a spiritual death to sin, and a spiritual resurrection Into life i and holiness. The passage from Philippians is a similar teaching. Justified and in union with Christ, we may know the power which Christ's resurrection possess. This would bring a participation also in his sufferings as well as his love. There is one passage in our leason of profound significance. We refer to the eleventh verse of the sixth of Romans. It is an impassioned appeal to the persons addressed to realize their condition of freedom from sin through the power of the risen Christ. It is an urgent appeal to die unto sin as Christ died for sin; and to live unto God as Christ lives with God. It makes an appro priate Easter meditation. Consider? Being Dead unto Sin. Everyone recognizes that we may be dead unto some sins. No one considers that it is an exalted profession to claim that we are dead unto such sins as murder, theft, profanity, etc. Why should it be thought fanatical to claim the power of Christ to such an extent that we may be dead unto all sin. To be dead is to feel no desire, longing, or motion toward. Is it true that Christ can save that the soul shall recoil from ^1 sin? So many testify, and so the Word would seem to teach. The death of Christ on the cross is a type of the death of the soul unto sin. It is a constant antagonism to evil. It is fixedness in righteousness. Being Alive unto God. Holiness is not only negative but positive. It is more than ceasing from sin; it is doing good. Not cnlv is it death to sin, II 19 acilVC act viuc iu nguicuuaucoo. That is a spurious holiness that onlyclaims noncompliance with sinful acts; real holiness is active and positive consecration to good works. Dialects in the Philippines. There are between forty and fifty dialects in the Philppine islands. All of these dialects belong to one common Malayan stock. Their grammatical structure is the same. The sentence in each one of them is built up , in the same way. The striking use of affixes and suffixes, which gives the speech its character, is common to th-m all. There are, moreover, word, and expressions identical to them !1. A hundred common words could -adily be selected which would scarce ,* vary from one language to anotht r; but the fact still remains that while similar in grammatical structure these languages are- very ; different in vocabulary?so different that two members of any two tribes brought together are unable to converse, or at first even to make themselves understood for the simplest steps of intercourse. * INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR APRIL 23.

"The next day." fter ! the supper. This would be Sunday, j commonly called Palm Sunday. "Much ! people." Vast crowds were present at the Fassover. In the time of Nero a census was taken and it was ascertained that there were 2,700.000 Jews present at tnis reast. "To Jerusalem. Jesus and His disciples left pethany and went to Bethphage, a small village between Bethany and Jerusalem. Here they stopped and Jesus sent two of His disciples to bring Him a colt on which to ride into Jerusalem. When this was procured He advanced toward-Jerusalem. There were many from Galilee who knew Jesus personally. and great numbers had been attracted to Bethany, excited by the recent resurrection of Lazarus. 13. "Branches of palm trees." This was a demonstration of their joy. Carrying palm and other branches was emblematical of success and victory. "And cried." Combining the four accounts, we get the following features: Some took off their outer garments, the burnoose, and bound it on the colt as a kind of saddle: others cast their garments in the way. a mark of honor to a king (2 Kings 9:13); others gathered leaves and twigs and rushes. "Hosanna." Hosanna is a rendering into Greek letters of the words, "Save, we pray" (Psa. 118:2."?). I It is like a shout of. "Salvation! Salvation!" "King cometh." Jesus Christ is appointed King over the church (Fsa. 2:Gi, and is accepted by the church. 14. "As it is written." In Zecli. 9:9. 13. "Fear not." There is no cause for fear. The King is able to defend His people. "Daughter of Sion." The church: God's true Israel. "Sitting on colt."

When they camo in sight of Jerusalem, while others shouted .Tesus wept over the city. He saw its sins and the sorrows and desolation which were so soon to come upon it. 16. "Understood not." It was the events themselves now occurring that were dark to them. They were not seen in their true light as a magnifying, as a preiiguratlve glorifying. of a suffering Messiah. "Glorified, then remembe?ed." The ignorance of the disciples was corrected by experience. What they did not understand now, they understood when the resurrection and ascension had taken place. II. The cause of Christ's popularity (vs. 17-19). 17. "The people," etc. The repeated references to the raising of Lazarus greatly strengthen the historic evidence of the miracle. They are quite inconsistent with the theory either rr a misunderstanding or of deliberate fraud. 18. "This miracle." "This" is emphatic; other miracles had made but little impression, but this one had convinced even Christ s enemies. 19. "The world." An exaggerated form of expression shoving Christ's great popularity. III. Greeks seeking Jesus (vs. 2022). 20. "Certain Greeks." The original word "Hellenes" means persons of Greek nationality, born Gentiles of the Greek race. "To worship." These Greeks were proselytes to the Jewish religion (Exod. 20:10, etc.). 21. "To Philip." It is not known why they should come to Philip first unless it was because they had some slight acquaintance with him. "We would see Jesus." Not merely to see His face, but we would speak with Him and be taught by Him. It should be the desire of every heart to see Christ. 22. "Andrew and Philip." How pleasing to God is this union, when the ministers of the gospel agree and unite together to bring souls to Christ. IV. Jesus teaches the way of life (vs. 23-20). 23. "Jesus answered them." Our Lord spake primarily to the Greeks and secondarily to His disciples, (1) of the meaning of His impending death. (2) of the necessity Of faithfulness to Him in it, (3) of the blessing attached thereto. "The hour." The time. " snouia De gionneu. ine time xias come when the old prophesies (Isa. 54: 3; 60:3) are to be fulfilled, the Messiah's kingdom is to be set up in the whole earth, and Christ is to take His place on the right hand of God. 24. "And die." The seed must die in order to liberate the life-germ and allow it to become fruitful. Christ must die to complete His redemptive work. 25. "Lovetb His life." The word translated life is often translated soul, as in verse 27. The meaning is that he who makes the pleasures, honors and rewards of this life his chief concern, and sacrifices his righteousness and integrity in order to obtain them, "shall lose it"?shall lose in most cases even the earthly rewards that he hoped to gain, and shall lose his soul eternally. "That hateth his life." On the other hand, he who sacrifices, when necessary, all worldly goods for Christ's sake and the gospel's (Mark 8:35), "shall keep it"?shall gain eternal life. 26. "Serve Me." Christ is a Master in a twofold sense: He instructs men, and appoints them their work. He who wishes to serve Christ must become a disciple to be taught, and a servant to obey. "Let him follow Me." Let him act out the above principle, as Christ had done and was about to do. This Is Christ's answer to the request of the Greeks. Christians must follow the methods and example of Christ. "Where I am." In heaven. At a Royal School. No public school has stricter rules, or is carried on in more methodical way, than the little villa at Peterhof which forms the academy at which the Czar's daughters are educated. At the head of the establishment Is one of the imperial chamberlains, but all the remaining officials and attendants are dwarf?. There are twentyfour footmen, not one of whom is more than four feet high; the janitor, indeed, is only thirty-seven inches in height. Surrounding the villa are a j number of pavilions, used as classrooms and playrooms for the royal pupils, who, among other subjects, study riding, cooking, needlework and house management. To the last named subject special attention is given, each princess having a miniature establishment, including a chancellor and treasurer. To this wonderful school the little Czarevitch will go just as soon as he is old enough. At present there are only seven pupils, namely, the Czar's i four daughters, their two cousins and a little Princess of Montenegro^ : The String Bag. Keep a string bag; it will be found most useful in the kitchen. It should be hung up in some special place and all pieces c? string that come tied around parcels should be put in it. String is constantly required, and it is far better to know exactly where to find a piece than to be obliged to hunt for tuis necessity. . To Clean Furniture. An excellent furniture polish and cleaner is made of half a cupful each of powdered rotten stone, cold urawn linseed oil, turpentine, naptha, strong solution of oxalic acid, a quarter cupful of alcohol and half a cupful of cold water mixed with half a tablespoonful of sulphuric acid. Mix the Ingredients in the order named. Before using shake the bottle thoroughly. Apply the mixture with a piece of flannel or felt?the felt is better? rubbing briskly but lightly. Follow with a rubbing with a soft cloth. The bottle should be kept in a cool place, corked tightly. Ferns in a Silver Bowl. When weary of pink, yellow or red decorations for your dinner table happily remember that after all nothing Is more dainty than green and white for centre-piece and candle shades. In either a crystal or silver dish make a mound of feathery Farleyensts, maidenhair ferns. Let the silver dish be low and round if possible. It makes a shining background for your lovely ferns. Say what you will in favor of mauve orchids and other exotic blooms or pet hothouse flowers, it will be hard to excel in dainty loveliness the mound of Farleyensis in a silver bowl. Coarse Food Desirable. A certain amount of coarse food is desirable. The bran biscuits and oat crackers to be had at first-class bakeries are very good. Children love them with milk and cocoa. Oat wafers are easy to make at home, using a half cupful of rolled oats, a half cupful of flour, salt, one and one-half tablespoons of butter, and a tablespoonful of sugar. Mix the dry matterials and work in the butter with the fingers.- Add just enough hot water to make the dough hold together. Place on a floured board or cloth and pat with the hands and roll as thin as possible. With a sharp knife dipped in flour cut in long crackers. Bake in a slow oven until a light brown. The Care of Carpets. To spoil a carpet sweep it with a stiff half worn broom; to save a carpet dip the broom in clean hot suds once a week, thep shake it out and hang it up. This also make the u broom last twice as long as n wiu?wise would. Carpets should be thoroughly beaten on the wrong side first and then on the right, after which spots may be removed by the use of ox gall or ammonia and water, using a sponge or flannel. After a good cleaning sprinkle with salt, fold and lay in a dry place, then when laid strew with slightly moistened bran before sweeping. This, with the salt, freshens the carpets in a marked degree. Vinegar removes line spots. Spirits of ammonia, diluted with watdr, if applied with sponge or flannel to discolored spots, often restores the color. it Recipes.
