EASTER.
Two great events connected with
the life of the world’s Redeemer
attract universal interest—the ad*
vent and the resurrection. The
promises of .prophecy foretold the
advent, the words of the Savior
gave assurances of the resurrection
tJesplte the assurances which He
gave the disciples they were sad,
discouraged and hopeless when they
knew that fie was dead .and laid in
Joseph’s tomb This sadness pre
vailed until the news—“He is not
here, btti is risen as He said”—
broke forth from angel watchers
and was hastily carried to the ears
of the sorrowing ones. Then great
anxiety, halt doubt and amazement
seized them, but the empty tomb,
the angel watchers and the familiar
voice of the Christ Himself con
firmed the glorious fact of the res*
urrection. This fact lifted the
gloom, cleared away the doubt and
answered the question “If a man
die, shall he live again ? ’ The sing

THE STATE?S SUPREMW COUBT GIVES IT
MOBE SAYOB \BLE COWSTBUCTION.
Raleigh, N 0 , April 5.—The Su*
preme Court of North Carolina has
construed the preference law as only
restricting the right to execute as
signments, mortgages and deeds in
trust* or to make conditional salerto
secure pre existing debts Contem
porareous obligations may still be
secured by such liens on sales.
Farmers will be greatly embar
rassed, however,, by the fact that
balances due for last year cannot still
be carried by their commission
merchants and secured with their
notes for current advancements. -
This decision will hSVe the effect
of putting a stop to the withdrawal
of northern capital, which had be
gan upon the passage of the bill juBt

Mortgages will be. valid as under
the old law, except as to pre-existing
debts. >hs decision puts an end to
