SUNDAY APRIL 5 1896
EASTER RESURRECTION.
This is the day the “Christian
World” devotes to a commemora-
tion of the rising from the dead
of its Savior the Nazarene philo-
sopher whom the Jews had been
so determined to put to death that
they prevailed on Pilate against
his better judgment to sentence
him to death. This restricted
view of Easter is relegated to the
churches with their Easter lillies
and their Easter anthems and
their Easter sermons and their
Easter commemorations of all
kinds. There is nothing more
beautiful in all the commemora-
tive services of the Christian world
than this Easter memorial. It
types the highest on earth not
forgetting the peace and good
will to men of the advent for it
types the resurrection the lifting
up into stronger fuller better
fresher and more fragrant life.
This is Nature’s Easter day no
less than that of the church. Go
out into the woods sit down under
the overarching foliage beside the
margin of some mossy stream.
X*pen your ears to the voices of the
wood rejoicing In their promise of
pure freshness and fragrance and
foliage. Open your eyes to see the
expanding of bud and blossom on
the wildwood vines and their
swelling exultation' in the larger
unfolding of all that is within their
bosoms. Open your nos-
trils to draw in the perfume of
leaf and bud and flower. Lay your
ear near to the bosom of the old
mother as you recline on her
grassy breast. You will hear her
wisper of the deepest things in the
heart of mankind of still
in of God. Na-

Sit still still silent motionless
almost breathless there in your
leafy retreat. The animal life of
the wood no less than its vegetable
life has its Easter. The birds are
rising up in their spring time glad-
ness singing their Easter songs
as they shyly flit to an fro in the
shadowsnesting. The wood doves
as they coo their plaintive notes
in the branches have their Easter
time and not all mournful is the
soft plaint of their modesty. Love
enters their heart and for their
mates and the little brood in the
thicket there is Easter gladness
in their hearts. Even the little
wood-mice and the sly denizens
of brake and bramble and leaf cov-
ered mound all are partakers of
this Easter gladness and to them
it is a time of resurrection into new
enjoyment.
Youth has its Easter. This is
Che time of all others when the
heart of youth swelling into new
promise of growth under the
genial spring time of earth
and of life fronts its destiny
and feels through every pulse
of its being the resurrection power
of all its possibilities. Then it is
that the divine madness that the
poets call “love” rages at its
height bringing with it all the
ambition of the mind and moral
nature to face the best in being J
and grow grandly to
This is the divine
The true resurrection. The/fean
who has been stirred to thXe rais-
ing up in his nature by sme move-
ment of his life side of
some dear one has enWred upon a
new life. He has left Bia old be-
hind him in the grave W his past
and has reached his Master his
ascension morn. ■
Middle and Old age aW” have .
Easter. The
moves
this spring (time in the veins of
the sons and daughters of men.
It is not nececssary to trace this
analogy between the movement
of nature in the lower creation
and in the higher. It is traceable
and the dlvinest uses of this
Easter season are to be found in
this raising up of the passions
the powers the quickening of all
perception and the awakening
of all slumbering forces. As na-
ture in the woods and the streams
throw’s off the deadness of winter
as spring approaches and prepares
for new line so does this same
mysterious impulse seize on the
human children of nature and stir
all their powers of body and mind
to resurrection.
Mind as well as affectional
quality has its Easter it has its
resurrection time. The nearer the
great heart of nature men of mind
live and breathe the nearer tojher
heart they keep their ear the clos-
er do they follow the more un-
conscious life of plants and birds
and streams and all natural
things. To such men there Is a
new elasticity in their thought
under the brooding spring In-
fluence. Then comes ot all their
mentality a richer promise of
truth to be born into speech of
idea to find expression in 'word
of wisdom to be embodied in
tangible form. Their grandest
flights are in the spring their di-
vinest aspirations. Under the
spring skies they breed in their
brains the wisdom that is to in-
struct a generation and make after
years wiser. It is their Easter
time.
Opportunity has its Easter.
This Is the divinest of all. To
seize upon the quickening of all
the forces of nature; all the brood-
ing breeding life of the animal
world; all the stimulating and
stimulated life of the affectional
youth; all the reviving and quick-
ening movement of miudj under
the mystery of this Easter time
to seize upon these for the’divinest
ends turning all the life and
thought of the whole in all its
variety to such suprem ministry
that it will raise you and all who
come within the sphere of your
personal influence higher and still
higher with every revolving round
of the great globe of movement
this is the dlvinest Easter of all.
This is an Easter movement that
draws in its ascension all the
forces of earth and brings them
near the eternal good.
But w;uß rises no higher than
its Easter movement
rises higher
than the supply. If
that movement is fromTfc®J ower
levels of pride greed pass!dbv
envy selfishness personal" ends
and aims and gains then will you
rise no higher nor will you draw
others up. But if in the quickening
of your being the motor of action
is in the higher levels of manhood
in love of pure things and people
desire for the betterment of all
ambition for the general ascension
of all men in your sphere pro-
found sympathy with the strug-
gles of humanity to rise deep
reverence for whatsoever things
are pure and true and lovely and
of good report real hunger for a
power of ascension in yourself—-
then will your Easter rising be
towards the hills of gladness and
sunshine.
Beloved This is your Easter day.
To what heights of ascension is it
leading you? No other Easter that
you will ever come to in the flight
of time will face you so well for
rising as that which you face to-
day. Look around you in the
earth through the waters under
the shadow of the great trees;
study the springing step of na-
ture in/ts ascension and catch the
moven/ent of that glad progress
into Aw life and being new power
auti fresh development. Let the
Meiers of your mind and body in-
tellectual and affectional nature
go out in all directions but down-
ward. Lay hold on all that which
is above you. Above all lay hold
on yourself. Roll together the
grave clothes of your neglected
and thorn crowned past and leav-
ing them in the sepulchre say to
your own life: It is not here it is
risen.
It should also be the Easter of a
political resurrection. A lifting up
of the thought of conservative
men to the need of purer conduct
in conventions and at the polls; to
a larger and loftier idea of the
meaning of government and citi-
zenship rights. But the Light j
ft/gets this is LringjM
poltics into the pulpit and this is
strictly forbidden in this case such
use of the pulpit being turned over
to those who are supposed to
preach only Christ and him cruci-
fied.

DALLAS LETTER
[From Our Special Correspondent.J
Dallas April 2.—Miss Emma
McDonald is dead. After a few
days illness she died at the home
of Dr. Letcher this morning. Her
friends scarcely knew of her ill-
ness till after death had been an-
nounced. Miss McDonald had been
a teacher in the city schools for
ten years; and was one of the
scholarly and accomplished teach-
ers we had. The High school the
building in which she taught dis-
missed school as soon as word
was received that she was no
more. The teachers ordered one
of the most elaborate floral designs
ever given to a Dallas florist to
place upon her beir. The remains
will be taken to Palestine for in-
terment. Miss McDonald was one
of the few women of whom women
said kind things while the subject
was on earth. It was not left til)
she was dead to pass eulogies
upon this noble woman.
The First Baptist church folks
promised to pay the renowned Dr.
Hastings $l5 per night while
here on his recent lecture tour.
Mr. Seasholes pastor of the church
importuned the people to con-
tribute toward this end last Sun-
day. He said the Dr. Hastings had
received his money but they had
been compelled to borrow it and
now they wanted to pay back the
borrowed money. He urged his
people to come forward with con-
tributions but your correspondent
thought it was easier to convert
them in than it was to extract a
dollar from them. He spoke to
one of the flock about the reluc-
tance with which the contribu-
tions were given. Yes but you
see we are always giving. The
church went a long distance to get
a preacher and then not be able
to pay him.
News is received from Glasgow
Ky. of the death of Gen. Joseph P.
Nuckles father of Mrs. Will A.
Watkins ot this city. Gen. Nuck-
les has spent considerable time
in this city at the home of his
daughter. Mrs. Watkins was with
him when he died.
Mrs. Jas. 11. Keever wife of
Dr. Keever of Oak Cliff died dur-
ing last Monday. Mrs. Keever’s
funeral was largely attended. She
had lived here for a long time and
had many friends.
Mr. and Mrs Hurst ha 4 hiade
preparations to Celebrate their
golden wedding last February. Mr.
Hurst was taken sick. He never re-
covered sufficiently to be up and
Sunday afternoon death claimed
another old settler. Mr. TJiTrst
was born in Alsaceloraine £ n ig.
18 and came to 1357.
He was the father of E. M.
Kahn and Mrs G < - z D rey f UB o f
r t city. at the home
of TifvJ’rtfrh.
Mr. J. Florence another old-
timer has crossed over the river.
Mr. Florence lived about twelve
miles from here. He was a highly
respected wealthy farmer and had
served as county commissioner.
At the time of his death he was 80
years old.
Frank Sreenan was buried from
the Sacred Heart church last Tues-
day morning.
There is reputed to be a wit in a
southern city in Texas. Your cor-
respondent could never see any-
thing funny in what the person
said or wrote and expressed some
wonder that he should continue to
write such nonsensical things. The
man to whom we were speaking
saidJ “Tom P. told him he was a
regular wit. Tom had a grudge
against him and wanted the poor
fellow to disgust his friend.” I
believe this is about the way it is
with some of the candidates for
local office.
Miss Belle Bradford a niece and
ward of Mr. A. F. Hardie is to be
married to Mr. Alex Coke nephew
of ex-Governor Richard Coke
next Thursday at the residence of
Mr. Hardie. The wedding was to
htve been a very brilliant affair
but on account of the recent death
of the groom’s sister it will be
very quiet. Miss Bradford is a
sister of Miss Fannie Bradford
who it will be remembered spent
a winter in San Antonio and Berne
with her uncle and aunt Mr. and
Mrs. John Hardie of New Orleans.
On the 15th of this month Mr.
Cary the physical culture teacher

mony will be performed by the

Baptist church. Miss White is re-
puted to bo one ot the prettiest
girls in Dallas.
