Their zeal and love exceeded that pf even Peter. James and John. "Wom en were last at the cross and first at the tomb." II. The Earthquake (28:4). This occurred when the glorious an gel descended to roll the stone away from the tomb. This work of the an gel was not to allow Jesus to escape but to show that the fomb was empty. Christ needed not the help of a glo rious angel, for he was raised up by his own power as the seal of his aton ing work upon the cross. The open tomb and the angel sitting upon the stone with calm dignity Is a picture of God's triumph over the devil, and the terror of the keepers Is a sample of what all of Christ's enemies shall one day experfence when he comes In Sloryto reign as king. , llC The Angel's Message to th Women (28:5-7). 1. "Fear not" (v. 5). While the ene mies have occasion to fear, those who love the Lord receive good news from the empty tomb. The Lord will not long leave those who follow him. In suspense and dread. The empty tomb puts an end to all doubts and fears. It is the proof that the question of sin is dealt with and that God is satis fied, carrying with it the assurance of eternal victory. 2. "Come see" (v. 6). The angel said that the Lord had risen, and vited the women to see the place where he lay. 3. "Come quickly" (. 7). The wom en must see, for themselves and then go tell the message. Experience must precede testimony. They were to gr quickly to the disciples with the blessed message, with the assurance that the Lord would go before and meet them. . IV. Jesus Meets the Women (28:8-10). The women rendered instant obedi ence and were running to bring word to the disciples. Jesus met them on the way. Those who have an experi mental , knowledge of Christ should speedily go to tell .others of It. To all such the Lord will appear and bring Joy. : V. What Christ's Resurrection guarantee to Us (r Cor. 15). . 1. The integrity of the Scriptures (vv. 3, 4). The Old Testament Scrip tures told of the advent, death and resurrection of Christ. Christ's resur rection gave the seal of authentication to them. Christ rebuked the disciples on the way to Emmaus for their dis belief of the Scriptures concerning the resurrection (Luke 24:13-26). 2. The reality of the divine person (Itom.'l:4). Jesus claimed to be one with the Father. He predicted hit coming forth from the. dead (Matt. 16:21). He declared that no one could take his life from him. He had power to lay his life down and take It up again (John 10:15-18). He died because he willed to do so. The life which he laid down must be resumed at the completion of his sacrificial work. His coming forth from the grave proved that he was what he had claimed to be. 3. The sufficiency of Christ's aton ing sacrifice (Rom. 4:25). On the cross Christ exalmed. "It is finished." By the resurrection God declared to the universe that an adequate remedy for sin had been provided. The resur rection of Christ Is God's certificate that an adequate sacrifice has been provided for sin. 4. Our life and Immortality (1 Cor, 15:20). He Is the first fruits of them that slept "Because I live ye shall live also." The guarantee that man In the Integrity of his being spirit, soul and body shall lrve again Is furnished us in. Christ's death and resurrection. Promoting Happiness. God has. given understanding to man, to be employed for his glory in promoting the happiness of his crea tures; and In nothing that belongs to earth can the liuman understanding be more worthily employed than In the researches of, science and In the works of invention. Chief Justice Chase. " Absorbing the Bible. - Reading God's Word Is one thing; to look at It In the right light Is an other.

TTTT TEIMAR, the little city which vJvJ Is the capital of the duchy V of Saxe-Weimar and which was selected as the meeting place for the German national assem bly, has long been denominated the i4Athens of Germany." It stands for what was the best in German life. For Weimar was once a great capi tal In the world of letters ; around It cluster many of the finest recol lections and traditions of the Ger many that was. Goethe and Schiller, topmost among the German poets, lived and died there. Some of the finest compo sitions of Liszt and Mendelssohn were conceived In Weimar. In this quaint old town Schopenhauer dwelt in the unutterable gloom that permeates his philosophy. To its restful solitude and its greatest memories came Nietz sche, apostle of dreadfulness, to die. And It drew George Eliot, Thackeray, Bayard Taylor and many other no tables of other lands who sought In spiration in this spot which had lured the " immortals of an earlier day, remarks the Kansas City Star. Where Famous Women Lived. Weimar it was which produced two of the best remembered of German women, the Grand Duchess Anna Araalle, whose efforts gave Germany Its first real- standing in art Tarid let ters, and Charlotte von T Stein, the gifted,' brilliant , woman whom Goethe loved long and in vain. All Germany has laid homage at the feet of Duchesi Anna Amalie. And of Charlotte von Stein it has been said that no other woman, not even Dante's Beatrice or Petrarch's Laura, has been so hon ored in song. All the glory of Weimar belongs to the time before the Prussian arch mllltari&t and materialist. With the ascendancy of the Hohenzollerns and the elevation of force and greed above the things of the mind and spirit Wei mar faded into a background memory. Its selection by the new government as a seat for deliberation may, serve to bring back to It some of its depart ed glory. ' The beginning of Weimar's great ness came about 1756, when Anna Amalle, niece of Frederick the Great, went there as a bride of the duke. She summoned Weiland, poet and stu dent, to act as tutor for her boys. Three years later young Goethe went to Weimar. Others followed. Eln sledel, the poet, musician and actor; Bode, the translator of Smollett and Cervantes; Knebel, the classicist; Corona Schroter, the brilliant and beautiful actress and singer; Herder, the preacher poet and father c4 Ger man folk song, and finally Schiller, who eventually was to take rank with Goethe. Goethe the Master There. The names of Goethe and Schiller dominate Weimar. The former lived in the town fifty-six years. He was all things to Weimar, the adviser of its rulers, architect of its chief struc turesdictator of its thought, and finally Its greatest and . best loved memory. His house on the Goethe Plata is one of the town's "sights," and monuments of him occupy the most prominent positions. Even his garden house has. been preserved in reverent memory. An indication of the way in which Goethe was regarded in old Weimar is gleaned from an oft told Incident. The poet coveted the house that later was to be his. Its owner would not sell to him, however. So Duke Karl August went forth one day . and un ceremoniously took charge of the house. "But me no buts," he replied to the reluctant' owner. "Goethe wants: it and we must give it to him or we shall not keep him." 1 The thousands of letters the adoring Goethe wrote to Charlotte von Stein all are kept in the building that houses the Goethe and Schiller ar chives. For ten years he paid de voted court, to' her, but she was the wife of another man and, although she valued the homage of this tonan, who was one of the handsomest "and most distinguished in Europe, It Is generally believed that she did not in any. way return his " affections. NJarlylVa Trlbuse to Schiller. Schiller's old home has been bought by ne town an( conrerted Jnto museum His rooms are almost as he left them, the floors ;bare, the. celling low and the furniture scanty, plain gnd almost primitive. Of,, this, place 5 1 DRMAN MmmpK'--" ajz.c? TT"rxsm "Who can picture SchillerV feelings in this solitude without participating in some faint reflection of their grandeur? The toll-worn but devoted soul, alone, offering up the troubled moments of existence upon the altar of eternity! For here the splendor that gleamed across the spirit of a mortal, transient as any of us, was to be made perpetual; these Images and thoughts were to pass Into other ages ; to glow in human hearts when the heart that conceived them had long been moldered into common dust. To the lover of genius this bare little room has become a sacred shrine." ' NOT MATTER OF KNOWLEDGE Person May Be Thoroughly Conver sant With Facts, and Yet Re-, main Ignorant. Some people think that ignorance is merely an accumulation of facts. But that hypothesis reveals a lack of lm aginaflbn. Ignorance, any more than knowledge, is not concerned with facts. It is concerned quite largely with feeling, and fieeling is the prod uct of one's general intelligence. The Huns had plenty of facts at their disposal, but they wrere ignorant. Their feeling was not intelligently dis tributed over certain areas of their na tional consciousness. V This i true, more or less, of all. of us, Tho nas L. Mason writes in the Outlook. When we are truly Ignorant, it is a ct.se of arrested development In certain directions. A man who has not brought up a family may have at his call all the statistics jbout fami lies. Bt-'t he is truly ignorant in the a;nse of not being developed in the feelings that intimate contact with oae,'s fauily produces. To have knowledge of a particular thing is simply to have come in con tact with it in such a manner that one's feeling has been aroused about it . . ' , : . . We acquire knowledge largely by contemplation and meditation. But the thing we are learning about must Impose itself upop us In such a way that we are forced to understand it through our feelings and not our minds. There is nothing harder to overcome than ignorance. ' It must be beaten to a standstill. We have done this to the Huns. We must now conclude our moral contract by bringing them into contact with the right things. Carriage Day and Motor Way. A sight along Fifth avenue that used to draw a crowd years ago wras the outdoor lesson of theifashionable girls boarding schools In how to get in and out of a - carriage, says New York Evening Post. It was before socialism was rampant, but even then thero were murmurs of disapproval and amusement from the social students making up the crowd. The perform ance was not without Interest to oth ers who didn't have to be taught such things in public away from home. What a change today.' A -young. woman is Instructed how to run her car, but not how to get in and out of it. Un hampered by the fear that she may show what were once known as limbs, the modern girl scrambles into her little roadster and is off and away be fore, her grandmother could have ad justed her skirts prior to placing the proper foot in the proper way on the carriage step. . Ill-Assorted Volumes. : "The stage manager of this theatci Is a stickler for details. Now cverj book in that bookcase on the stage is a real volume." "So it seems, but It's a rather poor collection to be found in the library of a man who is supposed to be a scien tist.

SHEEP CLUB BOY'S PROFITS Investment Paying ,,200 Per Cent .In duced Farmers to Take Renewed Interest in Industry. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) j Late in the. fall of 1917, George Ir win of Henry county, Indiana, and nine Other boys in his neighborhood organized a sheep club. A few. inter ested stockmen and the. local bank made it possible for the club boys to secure one pure-bred ewe apiece. Each boy gave his note to the bank for the. purchase price of his sheep. In the summer of 1918 -George Irwin presented the following statement of his work and investment: , Disbursements. Cost of 1 ewe Feed Interest on note Total cost .$24.97 Receipts. 1 ewe (inventory)' $18.( 1 lamb (sold) 2oM 1 lamb (sold) 215 Wool (sold) C5 Total receipts $72.M Total cost 217 Profit i ....$49.43 Investments paying 200 per ceat were worth looking Into decided the farmers who lived in the locality of this, club, and Interest In sheep rais ing increased. Another boy in the Htnry -County club has developed a flock of 30 ewes, and plans to have more.

Practically all the ... -. . . ....A'.AWW'! Sheep Club Members, ' Exhibiting Their Animals. boys engaged in the sheep-club work are keeping their foundation anlmala and at the same tfme are adding to their stock. Previous to 1918 there were but few boys and girls organized Into sheep clubs under the supervision of the de partment of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges. With the high price of wool and mutton, the sheep project, however, has become, increas ingly popular. Last year 257 suck clubs were organized with an enroll ment of 3,613 members. During the year 8,005 lambs were raised by these young people and 2,006 pounds of "woof were marketed. The total value oT the flocks at the end of the year wa $131,173.40; the initial cost of the sheep, together with the expense of feeding them, was $37,082.82 ; the total profit made by the boys and girls Whe were members of the sheep clubs and who continued the work throughout the year was $94,090.58., The results the boys have been getting have opened the eye's of their fathers. The boys and girls in the sheep clubs are demonstrating in every state that sheep are profitable if well bandied.
