Saturday Bargain Day. P. P. LONG. Interesting Easter services were held in t'ae C. P. church last Sunday. The exercises consisted mainly of singing by the choir. Special mode had been prepared fur the occasion, which was bath beautifol and appropriate, and which was rendered in a manner highly creditable to the choir. Dr. Danley care a ihort bat highly lustra ctire eermon on the Resurrection, viewing it from a rationalistic ■Undpoint. He said in part: "It is not in acoord with Bound reason to seek the living among the dead. Apart from the teachings of revelation a belief in a fntnre life is a law of Intelligent being. The testimony of self-consciousness postulates a fa to re life. "Given self to Dad Uod," is a scientific dictum as well ss a metaphysical axiom. The thoeuht of immortality coald not be tinless man had an instinct intuition that such is a law of his being. But, "A solemn murmur of the soul Tells of a world to be. As traveler* bsar the billows roll, lletore they reach the sea." Coupled with thia into it ire sense is an imperishable longing for immortality which becomes* prophesy of its realization. He was a poet to the common people who wrote: "It mast be so, else why these pleasing hopes, this fond desire, this longing after immortality." Nature is never single and alone. The motherhood In nature owns and nourishes her children. The essential nature and poraonality of the spirit life demand its per- I>etuity. The law which determines the' 'sur - vival of the f ttest" does not cease to be operative within the <loma!n of physical forms. Lot/.o says that: "That will abide forever which on account of its spirit and excellence must be an abiding part of the universe." It is a scientific truth as well as a fact of revelation that to lose one's life is the way to find it. Id the lower order of things forms change, but force abides. In the vegetable kingdom the plant dies only to be born into a higher type of being. Conditions, or what we term environment, will determine the new tvpe of being. Environment transforms and develops life. Immortality is the logical sequence of the iucarnatkm. The life of Jesus Christ takes the question of a future lifeont of the range of the speculative and posits as an historic fact. This is etornal life that we might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." Correspondence with an environment forecasts the normal development of the creature The doctrine of the now birth is a statement of the fact that the soul has been adjusted to permanent relations perfectly adapted to its ; complotest development. Ulysses saiJ: "lam apart of all that I have met " This affinity for environment in man when adjusted to Christ will transform h'm into an eternal being with perfect life conditions "Whosoever believeth in him shall nover die, and though ho wore dead yet shall ho liveagain." Herbert Spencer deflnrs eternal life by saying that: "A perfect correspondence with no changes in the environment but such as the organism bad adapted changes to meet, without a faiinre in the efficiency to meet (hem." A perfect correspondence would moan a porfoctand eternal life. A man adjusted to an unchanging Christ must abide in a conscious relation to a perfect and eternal order of things. In him was light and the light was the life of men. But it ia the property of life in its fullest moaning to eliminate from its relationa whatever is not, and cannot be fully adjusted to the law of its perfect development. That is why it was not possible for Christ to be holden by death. That is the reason, too, why death cannot destroy or annihilate the soul. With this idea held firmly within our mental grasp we are prepared to think of what we call physical death as an incident in the development of man as a spiritual being. To the Christian Raster is the melody in the symphony of God's redeeming love. The Best in all Lines of Clothing, Shoes, Hats, and Fiiraisnino Goods.
