The most serious of all, in the Pres ident's opinion, is that the telegraph office held up an official '-dispatch from the United States government to Charge O'Shaugbnessy until theJ charge made a personal demand for it.

' DR. DURHAM OH DEATH. Declares In Easter ' Sermon That Thouxh 8dene Witt, Borne Day Brides the Chaw, the Christian Already Haa Proof in (be Empty Tomb. Monroe Journal. Rev. Dr. Plato Durham, 1'ivsuhu,: Elder"f the Charlotte district, preached the Easter sermon at Cen tral Methodist church Sunday inunun,' at 11 o'clock. The large congrega tion was not disappointed. Ir tin sermon was a masterpiece. lr. Dur ham read as a lesson John 11-17. He took as his text John 20-1 1. "Hut Mary stood without at tbe tpiilrlni weeping: and as she wept she stoop ed down, and looked into ihe sepul chre." In opening his sermon Dr. linrlu.'i said, "Were I a great painter nn.l wished to paint an immortal pictu.i to typify broken, hopeless, weeping sorrow, I would paint Mary nt tin.' empty tomb." He then gavsc in word-: that picture of the sorrow of Mary at beholding the empty tonili. S i thought her Lord and Master lull been removed by others; if mi she wanted his body, for she lovd it. ,inl would timl a more humble plm-e lor it to rest, was then that Jesu mud; himself known by speaking tin- oi:c word, ''Mary." The sermon uas ill -1.J i i... i.. il. - l('Il(l!l. j and the religious side of death, lie said "man, the master creation ot God, is a conquerer. He bus nt the present time brought all his forces o! nature to the subservance of his wi!'. "forces before which nr nun-slur-stood ngnst. lie has conquered air. water, eleftriuty. He has sent h,; voice on wireless wings through span-, but the one great abyss lie has noi penetrated is death. ' There is tin one great harrier." The speaker I lieu quoted from the president of the So ciety for Psychic Research in h-s speech before the. greatest scientilic body in the world, who said in th twentieth century the hitherto un penetrable force death would he in vestigated, that man had already buiii the abutment an now he would sen 1 out the great bridge to span this black river of mysterv. There would the-i j be communication with other side. Another scientist said, "The twen tieth century will be the rwatnry-of.. the soul." Dr. Durham said that "Religion and Christianity are com ing in legions form one side and science on its eagle wings from the other, and when they meet there will be a great day." Continuing, the speaker said, "For me and for the Christian believer there is no need for this to happen. Death has already been conquered as is evidenced by the emp ty tomb." He said the monster death already bore a scar on its cheek. The conflict took place iu the tomb, and death was beaten. Dr. Durham said "we would know our loved ones when we joined them. As a proof of this, Mary knew Jesus. He did not have to prove He had risen, that He was the same. She did not recognize the spiritual body, but she knew his voica and she knew his heart was the same, that He still loved her, and so it is with all our loved ones who have gone before us helping us". The speaker gave Bishop John C. Kilgo's experi ence of feeling his father's presence with hi 111 in the pulpit, also his own experience when he became conscious of not being alone in the pulpit. He felt the presence of the pastors who had labored for that c-h men. This thought was next advanced in the speaker: Somewhere in our theology the idea has crept in of heaven being a city with four walls located some where beyond the stars, and that our loved ones stand there. That localiza tion may be alright, but if that be true there is some outlet, for at tbe transfiguration there was no arch an gel from the Planet Mars, but Moses an Ehas, and they were recognized. Also when the old prophet wished to open tbe eyes of the young warrior there came down from heaven - the hosts that had fought and die for Isra el. : Bishop Wilson supports the theory of our loved ones being recognizable by saying, "I have never yet seen a man die but what he said he saw foil loved ones hovering about hinj to bear his soul across the river."
