It now seems probable that it will not be gained in any other state during the pending sessions of the legislatures, hould this be bo there would be nothing dis heartening in the fact. The "engage ment" between rum and prohibition is fairly opened, the battle is extending along the whole line. Each year de velops the strength of the opposing forces. The eternal right, the ever lasting ought are with prohibition God is on that side. Success is simply a question of time. It can not come everywhere at once. Different pre paratory work, must be done in differ nt parts of the Geld. Aside from all moral and social considerations, and the destruction of the physical powers of the race, the question is coming to the front as a serious factor in politi cat economy.

The eastern christians with Judaiz- ing tendencies, observed a passover. the western christians ignored the passover but kept the CSood Friday, as a solemn fast in memory of the cruci fixion and celebrated the resurrection on the following Suuday or Lord's day. It is claimed, by some, that as early as the days of the Apostles, difference of opinion arose a to the tima of the republicans the speeches which were the loudest and most frequently ap plauded were - those which counseled no surrender to the liquor saloons. Prohibition was not advocated, but as the party had undertaken to regulate the traflic, it was declared to be cow ardice to stop until this had been ac complished. The sentiment appeared to be unanimously m favor of submit ting an amendment to the people plac ing the whole subject in the hands of the legislature. It was plainly inti mated also that one cause of republi can defeat last fail was the failure of celebratiou of this day: at the Council the party to deal honestly with the of Nice, A. D. 325, the disputed ques tion seems to have been settled in fa vor of the western christians, and it was decided that Easter should be deemed a movable feast, and that the full moon, next to the Vernal Equi nox, should be taken for the full moon in the month of Nisan and the 21st of March be accounted the Vernal Equi nox. Easter Sunday is therefore al ways the Sunday following the full moon, which falls on or next after the 21st of March. The earliest possible day whereon Easter can happen in any year, is the 33d of March, and the latest the 25th of April. Friday, our God Friday, preceding easter, is ob served as a special fast in commemora tion of the crucifixion, and Easter Sun day as a special feast in honor of the resurrection of our Lord. One wiiter, in speaking of the curious customs which used to attach to this day in different parts of the world, says: "In Ireland formerly people arose at 4 a. to see the sun dance. Not only the ignorant but the wealthy and well in formed, scrupulously observed this custom. In England they were wont to call the reflection of the sun in run ning water 'lamb playing'. An old ballad says : "But Dick, she dances such a way No iun upon an Easter day people on the question. There was said to have been an evident design to catch the prohibition vote, and at the same time to save the German vote, and it was recommended that what ever stand the party took in the future should be at least an honest one." Nevertheless, the lowers of temper ance aad righteousness must not de pend upon "party policy" for perma nent reform. It will be a helpful ally, under certain circumstances. But the power which brings real reform comes from God and his truth, working through his people. Temperance re form lies on a far higher plane than ordinary political questions. The primary, the continual, and the ulti mate hope'of all good work, centers in the church and in its influence on so ciety. The pulpit must lead in maim facturinga proper, "public sentiment,' and the moral stamina requisite to push forward and sustain the reform The young men who enter the ranks today will grow gray before the battle is over. What sudden revolution God maj have in store for the cause of temptrance, we know not. We remem ber when men who are now living sand of slavery, "It will not be abolished in our day, if ever." These same men yet live to see it a thing of the past, and the flowers of peace and good will overgrowing the "bloody chasm." We have strong faith that by some such Old Reliable LUMBER YARD B. A.

We all know how the curi ous custom still prevails amongst us, of the Patch eggs, , boiling the eggs very hard and coloring - the exteriors in all colors. To our mind such holiday customs. as our Easter observances, should be cultivated, our people are a toiling people, and give too little time to roc reations and relaxation. . Recreations and relaxations are necessary to the American people. "We are all better for laying aside cares and troubles and business perplexities, and resting the overworked, overtaxed t rain nd body for a day. There is nothing more soothiog to the weary wayfarer than lo enter one of our goo i churches on the Easter Sabbath with its deco rations ol flowe.s, evergreens, fruits and products of Mother Earth, and its mottoes of, "Peace on Earth, g ood will to men ; and listen to the sweet mu sic, the grand Easter carols, which carry one in a moment, as it were, from the midst of tyie long, weary, dusty, toilsome pathway, where for long years he has been plodding and fighting the grim, urd at times it seemed to him, almost useless battle of life, to the green meadows,' and singing brooks of hia boyhood's happy, careless days, surely, gentle reader, it is good to be there; from whence the weary wayfarer, invigorated and re freshed, buckles on his armor vitb re newed valor and purposf, to fight again the great battle of life, la which at best, we Bad so little in the end to reward us.
