HANCE It cannot be that the festival of the resur rection falls together with the springing of.the year and the rebirth of the earth. The strange which seemed to snffer sudden eclipse In. death, and Its reaction, till, from the 'annual, reassuring himself that even as the seed falls Into the earth and darkness, not only to come forth In due season in more glorified as- fittlngness of times and events only I pect, so the soul of man puffers mo strlkes us now and then when we I mentary and partial eclipse to be stop to reflect; but this side of life, I born more gloriously; but alas! not the beautiful, undulating order or the universe, Is-what gives man his sense of security; it Is the root of all the gayety and .the buoyancy with which we tread the appointed paths. What! shall the orbit of the star be mapped out, and the hip-Joint of the locust's leg be set so that he can make music through the hot and sultry nights, and the blows that fall upon the yearning soul of man be meaningless and haphazard T Only when we are too tired to think do we feel the necessity of the eilstent order of the universe. It Is not to detract from the value of a symbol, therefore, to realize that it la In Its essence of the intrinsic nature of the human heart, the re sult of that Inevitable preoccupation of man, and that In all ages, all climes, he has reacted In some way or other against the numbing con- THE CHRIST OF THE ANDES (Cetottal Strtot M Bsoafenr Um ftttMa CM mt ArgMrtiaa) within the scope of our vision. The festivals of Demcter were held In the spring and autumn. The 7th of April was the day set apart for the games of Ceres. Demeter corre sponds to Beltus In Bactrlan and to Armaltl In Zoroastrian mythology. Armaltl, too, wanders in sorrow from place to place. She caused all growth and pervaded the whole ma terial world, even being said to dwell In the hearts of men, and fructify there into fair activities and noble pursuits. How intimate and familiar, how strangely modern and near, seems the last great fact of resurrection, as we turn to it from the more ancient aspects! How sonorous and living are the words of the medieval ritual: Die nobia, Maria, quid vidisti in via? And the detailed verification of the antlphonal chant See, where it stands in its beauty. Where the earliest sunbeams shine; Tall and stately and splendid: The Christ of the Boundary Line!

To know One risen from the dead to feel the life once reaching only a handful of folk on a strip of land by the Mediterranean, now filling the world and leading men everywhere, is to know that as surely as the spring follows winter, so surely does life follow death, and how little it matters what the forms of that life be, since at least we know that noth ing is lost.

Who can look unmoved to-day upon this relic of a past age, in a negro cemetery, and see the toys laid about a little child's grave, the photographs and favorite possessions about those of the older human child, without being touched by this groping of the mind Into the darkness beyond which It cannot yet i:ce clear. In its own way this is a reaffirming of the unity of all life; It, too. Is a realization that it is tbe same universal life showing a new face. Man himself. myriad-minded, confused by feeling one- thing at one time and a wholly new one at another, yet holds ever in some dark chamber of his though the conviction that all things are one, and that multiformity Is but a way of looking, by turns, at the par celled kingdom of the universe. It Is as In the child's sont; of a new poet: "What does it take to make a rose, Mother mine?" "The God thiit died to make it. knows. Jt takes the world s eternal wars. It takes the moon and all tbe stars. It tnkes the mifllit of Heaven and Hell, And the evrrlnntinu Love as well, Little child." No atom of dust, no star-burst nor trailing comet, must fail to the mak Ing of the whole perfection which is the thinking body of divinity. All the snows and the storms, the short, cold winter days, go to the making of the sweet and wasteful hours of the long .twilights. It-Is Just this faint taste and premonition in the air of what is to come which makes spring the season of deepest glad ness; It is a foretaste of desultory wanderings through a warm-breathing earth when the unexpected visi tations of the best thoughts fall, such thoughts as can only deign to come in blessed idleness and renewal of all llf? could recklessly hazard a doubt of lasting blight? How often. In looking upon Greek vases, we see the flowerlike wilted figure of Perse phone falling lax in the arms of the fiery charioteer Aldoneus. And who can forget who, at any rate, that has ever looked upon the keen-eyed 1 -i" . v- THE RISEN CHRIST. (Hofmann. ) EASTER PROMISES.

The,, twenty- fifth annual convention of the North Carolina Sunday School Association came to a close here Thursday night. The next convention will be held in Concord April next. This is by far the most successful convention ever held; more delegates attended, more prominent .speakers were, present, more work was accomplished, more enthusiasm was shown than the most optimistic had expected. Since the opening of the convention Tuesday the work has moved without a hitch In point of numbers this meeting has broken all records. So many people were turned away that it was found necessary to hold three meetings sim ultaneously. These were held in the opera house, the Christian and Pres byterian churches. The fiftieth session was opened with devotional services conducted by Rev. Eli Reece, of Greensboro. Rev. B. W. Spillman, of Kinston, then de livered another of his interesting ad dresses on "Studies of Jesus as a Teacher and Questioner." This is the second address of Mr. Spillman along this line. Mr. W. C. Pearce followed with "The Sunday School Teacher." This was conducted in the style of a round table. Dr. Tv . L. Poteat, president of Wake Forest College, then addressed the conven tion on "Children." He made one of the most elaborate speeches of the convention. MONEY FOR; NAVY Large Appropriations to Build and Equip Vessels To Erect Tubercular Ward.

This building is to be erected on the front grounds, to be of brick ,two stories.- and to accommodate seventy five nurses ,thus relieving the female department or tne Hospital by so much and giving room to as many pa tients as there will be nurses who will vacate. The cost of the building will be $20,675. The report of the superintendent, Dr. John McCamp bell, showed that at the beginning of the present quarter there were present 1,123 patients; that the demand for room for both men and women pa tients persists; that the health of the inmates of the house is good.

The amount tbe members of the committee receive will be added to tbe amount sub scribed bv the Methodists and the total will be Winston-Salem's bid. A member of the committee stated that he felt sure that the bid would be as much as $15,000, ns the people of the citv would not let such an institution go' by for the lack of $5,000. It is believed that a $1 5.000 bid will secure this institution for the Twin City.

The residential section cf the city where tbe wealthier class reside, es caped the flames. In the retail section, through which the fire passed, were 200 busi ness blocks which were destroyed. The United States Marine Buildings were not damaged. Fire Under Control. The Chelsea fire was practically under control at 9 o'clock Sunday night. The women are knows to be dead as a result of the ftre. Neither body has been identified. The fire originated in the rear of the Boston Blacking Company's works on West Third street, near the eastern division of the Boston & Maine Railroad and in close proxim ity to the Everett City line. A terri fic gale from the northwest, which at times had a velocity of 60 mile an hour, carried burning shingles, embers and myriads of sparks to as score of wooden buildings, most of them of cheap wooden construction. The fire started almost in the ex treme southwest section of the city and cut a path to the end of Mave rick street at the extreme southeast ern nd of the city, which borders on Chelsea creek. This point is about one mile and a quarter from the point where the conflagration began. The f ames swept through the heart of the retail business section, which was about midway between the two ex treme limits reached by the fire. Exact Cause Not Known. The fire started on the marshes bor dering the easfern division tracks of the Boston & Maine Railroad in the rear or the Boston Blacking Com pany's works, where employes were at work drying out rags. The com pany's works are situated at the end of West Third street, half a mile northwest of the heart of the city. A series of long, low wooden build ings comprised the works, stored for the most part with old rags and pa per. The exact cause of the fire is not known, but it is supposed that spontaneous combustion among the rags was responsible. A high wind, blowing at 45 miles vessels is increased $500,000 over the current fiscal year on account of the increased number of ships m commis sion and the necessity of fitting them with new gun firing apparatus and; with wireless telegraphy. Tweaty-seven New Boats. The appropriation for eoal and transportation is increased $850,000. For provisions for the navy an ap propriation is made of $6,547,903. The report accompanying tne dui states that an allowed increase of $100,000 in the appropriation for pro visions for the marine corp3 "is due to the increased cost of 16 per cent, in the price of rations." Tho report shows that there are in course of building seven battle ships, four armored - cruisers, three scout cruisers, five1 torpedo boat de stroyers, , four submarine torpedo boats, two colliers and two" seagoing tugs.
