The Easter bonnet, sad to say,
is necessarily laid away until the
weather man, mean thing, finds
out it's wrong to shoot-up spring.
To admit Harry Thaw's love
letters in evidence at the lunacy
hearing would be setting a high
ly dangerous precedent.
Easter Service.
The Easter service at the
. Church of the Ascension was
beautiful and uplifting. Palms,
ferns, dogwood blooms, lilacs
and nistaria adorned the church.
Mr. Turner of Morganton brought
forth unusually fine music from
the organ; the choir was rein
forced by the Presbyterian choir
as there was no service in the
Presbyterian church. The mu
sic was fine and well rendered
under the leadership of Mrr.
Chadwick. The Knights Ten
plars attended in a body produc
ing a very impressive effect The
following is the musical program.
Professional —"Faithful People, now
rejoice." • Lissant
. Anthem —Christ our Passover. Chappsl
Te Deum Read
Jubilate Cramer
Hymn—"Jesus Christ is risen to-day"
Worgan
Hymn—"Angels, roll the rock away."
Roper
Anthem—"He is risen" Clare
Hymn —"At the Lamb's high feast"
Elvey
Hymn— "The strife is o'er" Palestrina
Miss Alice Boyden sang the
solos with her rich contralto
voice. A large congregation con
tributed liberally to the Easter
offering.
The carol service at night was
fine with a short address _ giving
an exposition of I Cor. 15 chapter.
Text: ll Cor. V 11 verse —
, Therefore if anyone be in Christ,
he is a new creation; old things
are passed away—behold, all
things are become new. Sub
ject— "Easter and the New Crea
tion.''
The Resurrection of our Lord:
First a fact, then a miracle, and
lastly a mystery.
Science and the Bible both
agree a 4 to the purpose of crea
tion. It was to lead to man as
its mightest goal, as the aim of
its evolutionary process. By the
'inroad of sin, this upward move
ment of man was arrested. But
the Divine purpose cannot be ar
rested and thwarted by any op*
posing agency. So God's pur
purpose in man must have a
fresh start. That new begin
/ ning is made through God's Son
becoming incarnate and living a
human life, as our example, dy
ing to shcyv God's infinite love,
and to reconcile us to Him. and
passing throught death to the
New Risen life, by contract
which man comes into posses
sion of the source and Spring of
a new creation. ,
Two things, then, have come
to the world—to the race —
through the Glorious Easter Mir
acle.
1. Brotherhood, fraturnity.and
world wide inter communi on.
2nd. Boundless aspiration of
the human soul, unceasing de
velopment and discovery, cora
geous climbing to the seats of
the mighty. Yes, like our Elder
Brother, even an ascending to
the Right Hand of God where
we may also reign triumphant
over the old man, redeemed and
renewed through the second
Adam. "Tae first begotten from
the dead. u
Oh! day of da.73l shall hearts set free
No "minstrel rapture" find for three?
rhou art the of otlier days,
rhey shine by giving back thy rays.
•' *• {? . j
Then wake, my soul, to high desires,
\nd earlier I'glit thine altar fires;
Che world so* e hours is on her way
Nor think ou thee, thou blessed day 9.

SHORT TALKS BY
L. T. COOPER.
THE STOMACH.
My but peoples' stomachs do cause ■
lot of trouble. I offered to wager some
doctors in St.
a Paul, Minn.,
that one half of
caused by the
stomach. After
I assured them
that my medi
cine did nothing
stomach in shape
and they had
spent a day list
ening to what
' , people who call-
C. h. powell. Ed on me had to
. . ««y» they had to
agree with me. They heard people come in
and tell me that for years they had been near
the grave with Bright's disease, or lung
trouble, or kidney complaint and all man
ner of diseases and that the New Discovery
had cured them. Of course these people
were mistaken, it was nothing but their
stomachs. As a matter of fact when the
stomach gives out most everything else ia
thrown out of order too.
When a person feels tired and dull and
despondent, is loosing flesh and don't
sleep _ well, has a poor memory, a bad
taste in the mouth, a coated tongue, and
other troubles he's liable to believe a lot
of things are the matter with him. Nine
chances to one it's his stomach. I've
seen Cooper's New Discovery bring back
health to too many people in just this
shsipe to^believe anything else. Here's •
letter about it:
"I suffered for a long time without
knowing just what was the matter with
»me. I seldom felt like eating. I lost
greatly ir. weight. My digestion was ex
extremely poor and when I did eat I
invariably suffered afterward. I was con
stipated and frequently suffered from nerve
racking, violent headaches. When I heard
of what the Cooper remedies were doing
for others I resolved to try them."
"Relief came with the first bottle. My
appetite and digestion improved rapidly.
I am no longer constipated nor do 1 uave
those dreadful headaches. I sleep weH
•nd am gaining flesh." C. H. Powell, 13
Harrison Addition. Duluth, Minn,
