MESSAGE OF THE EMPTY TOMB.

"Ha !• not here, for He li risen. *• He e*ld.
Come, ase the place where the Lord lay."—Matthew,
xxvltl, 6 *.
Thua, in simple words i* told the greatest story
in all mankind’* treaauped lore. The empty tomb.
The linen garment* lying there. The atone rolled
away. The stricken guard. The angel, and the sor
rowing women, whose black grief was turned to won
dering Joy by what they found. On that Incident
rests the faith of millions, who find in the story the
secure foundation for a trust that sustains them
through life, through death,, and into eternity,
m m *
It is very well to tell of the pagan feast that pre
ceded Easter. It was the occasion of rejoicing
among the people, going ba'ck to an antiquity un
penetrated by research. Man had associated the com
ing of spring with certain movements of the stars,
and worshiped accordingly. The Jews had connected
their Passover with the event, and had given it for
themselves a little deeper significance. But to all
of them it was the physical proof of a rebirth. Na
ture was coming back, out of the death of long and
cruel winter. So might man also be reborn.
Therefore, the time was one for rejoicing, par
ticularly because it brought the promise of another
seed time and harvest, of plenty to eat, of relaxation
in the open, and surcease from the hardships and
privations, the short rations and the suffering from
cold. If priests and prophets added to it the in
definite promise of a life beyond, of existence
in another sphere, so much the better for those who
could find it in their hearts to believe. For the
many the feast partook only of its material promise.
• e •
“But," in the language of Paul, “now Is Christ
risen from the dead; and become the first-fruits of
, them that slept." It was not a physical but a spirit
ual sign, the portent of the empty tomb was that
man should by faith triumph over earthly things and
in the end have eternal life. We can understand
the wonderment and the mystification of the women,
of Mary to *whom Jesus spoke, of the disciples, even
of Thomas who doubted. Men are still mystified,
still doubt and dispute, when it is so much easier
to believe.
Out of this empty tomb has flowed an unceasing,
ever swelling flood of inspiration, mounting on Hope,
sustained by Faith, lifting mankind higher and
higher with each passing day. Charity, the greatest
of them all, is coming more and more into the lives
of men and nations, beesuse of the light that shines
from that tomb that did give up its dead. Examine
tha history of the years thst have intervened be
tween that day and this, and notice how steadily the
relations of human existence have improved.
see
Men still wrangle over points of belief. Creeds
divide them into clashing groups. War has not van
ished, nor poverty, disease nor misery. Yet all these
things have been softened, ameliorated, mitigated,
and the way of all the raee Is correspondingly
easier, because some of the influence of Jesus and
His teachings have touched the lives of all. 80 it
will probably be unto the end. Religions will rise
and swell, prosper and subside, Just as they have
through all human history, snd perhaps before any
record was kept. The simple dogma of Jesus rests
on eternal truth, the first and great commandment,
and the second that Is like unto it, “and on these
twe commandments hang all the law." So, we may
all, regardless of faith or doctrine, believe the
promise, "Lo, I am with you always, even unto the
end of the world." That is what Easter means; that
is the message of the Empty Tomb.
THE HEROINES OF EVERY DAY.
Ever and anon there blaze* before the world the
name of a woman who ha* performed »ome great
deed or made *ome heroic sacrifice for mankind.
Clara Barton, Florence Nightingale, Mary A. Liver
more, France* Willard—these are name* to conjure
with when we seek to arouse interest in deed* of
charity and of love.
But there are other women whose name* are
never recorded on the printed page, who never re
ceive from the world the plaudit* they so richly de
serve, and who will forever remain unknown save
in the little circle in which they move and serve.
They are the ever faithful women found in every
rural church congregation whose heroic *ervlces keep
thi church doors open, the pulpit supplied, the Bible
school going, the midweek prayer meeting function
ing and the interest on the church debt paid. Into
the pies and cake* each one bakes for the church
supper she put* her faith and Christian zeal in full
est measure. To her the work of washing the dishes
after the church supper I* over is a labor of love, a
cheerful service in the cause -of the Master whom
her sister was the last to leave at Calvary and the
first to greet at the mouth of the riven tomb.
Dorcas, who lived and worked in the days when
the impetuous Peter and the learned Paul were car
rying the torch of Christianity into all land*, left a
wonderful sisterhood to carry on the work of the
church. Without these good women that work would
languish, and in many, many places would fail ut
terly. They work and sacrifice, with no thought* of
the world's plaudits, but with eyes alight with a
faith that increase* with the passing years. Their
only earthly ambition i* to further the cause they
love and build firmer their part In the kingdom.

PI I It.ION BY BADIO
When the ptea.hera began In kmadrart their rtr ,
mane. It war thought that erlenc# waa being bnaaght
ta tha imlti at reltgtan. In atker wards, the
church wa* making It ea*ler tar It* rnmmunlranU.
Aame were openly skeptical a* ta the benefit*, haM»
Ing t« the aid fa*hlo«e4 nation that true religion
calls for a little exertion, sacrifice now and then nf
personal ease and comfort, at least In the matter nf
divine worship. "Where two or three are gathered
together In My name" waa not spoken of a group
that might assemble around a loud speaker.
A novel and really perplexing factor at least
to an outsider—la now Introduced by a New ^ork
minister of the Preshyterian denomination. Hi*
congregation is lsrgely made up of those who take
their Sunday do** of doctrine and dogma, cheer
and consolation, sitting easily at home, tuned In on
the radio. Thi* pastor is arranging with the pro
hibition officers to permit such communicants to
have at their homci a supply of sacramental wine,
in order that they may say communion also hy way
of the wireless.
The individual cup long ago started an argument
that is not yet at an end. Sanitary reason* were
urged, the communion being spiritual and not phy
sical. Against this the ultra orthodox set up that
it is the very body and blood of Jesus, and so is phy
sical as well as spiritual. That is a contention that
has had followers since apostolic time. However,
the individual cup is tolerated, and that being so, the
still more exclusive practice of taking communion
at home may be justified.
Yet, what becomes of communion? From a
gregarious and social state men are thus led into the
isolated and consequently the selfish. Communion
with the Most High is had in solitude. In fact, it is
recommended, but the assembling of the congrega
tion before the veil also is important. We do not
pretend to settle this point. The reader will have
little trouble in carrying the thought along to a rea
sonable conclusion. One reflection that presses is
that the church will not entirely fill its place in the
world until it stirs a lot of lazy folks out of their
lethargy, and gets them to attend in person at the
services where the praise and worship of God is the
order of the day.
NEW YORK’S BOY IS AMERICA'S.
New York is going to display a great “loyalty
and health” parade on May 1. Part of the plan is
to have for grand marshal pf the parade a typical
New York boy. He has already been located in the
person of 14-year-old John Mitchell, a freshman in
one of the city’* high schools. Here are some of
his qualifying attributes. He likes apple pie, swim
ming, tales of adventure, thinks once a week is
often enough for the movies, reads Abraham Lin
coln’s speeches and expects to be an engineer when
he gets out of school. Of course he is healthy,
enjoys outdoor sports and is getting good marks
at school.
Such a boy Is typicaf, not of New York alone,
but of the whole United States. We have millions
of him, and on his shoulders rests the future of the
country. Boys who like apple pie, who read about
Abraham Lincoln, get good marks at school, love
play in the open and plan to be good and useful
citizens when they come to manhood are the ones
who will keep alive through the centuries the light
on the altar of liberty. They are the hope of the
country. They are its very backbone. The good
men of today were such boys yesterday, as were
their fathers before them.
Our boys are not being spoiled, despite the fact
that they do some things the boys of yesterday or
the day before did not do. They yet are made of
the same metal as were their daddies. It must not
all be put on the boy, though, for father and mother
have their responsible share in seeing that this
healthy, normal lad grows up to be a strong and
useful man. “As the twig is bent the tree is in
clined,” and a little attention to the bending of the
twig is necessary.
WAISTLINES AND THE DIVINE PASSION.
"Why 21?” asked Mary Garden, In answer to a
reporter’s inquiry. "One hasn't begun to live at 21.”
No, indeed, Mary; nor has one exhausted life at 47.
At 21 Big Bill Kdwards was doubtless as sylphlike
as such a man can be. His waist was slender, his
muscles hard, his eyes flashing with the fire of a boy
to whom the world was just opening. Years of soft
living have done their perfect work on Big still. Now
his waistline is said to be somewhere near 90 inches.
If, indeed, this be true, Bill is qualified to be listed
as obese, and that just about puts him out of the
tunning. Bo long as a man is only fat, or even cor
pulent, there is hope for him, but to be obese—well,
that is about all there is to it.
Many a man has comforted himself, after seeing
hi* waistline go, that so long as his chest measure
equals or exceeds his circumference amidships, he is
entitled to be set down as merely fat. But, alas,
lor Big Bill Kdward*. If his future happiness de
pt nds on his waistline, he is in a parlous condition.
Once that fine division is passed, and man assumes
the shape that is politely described as “portly,” he is
a goner. Nothing he can do, starvation or o.herwise,
will evrr set him back to the lines of 21. Ask any
body who has tried. Disease may do it, but no exer
cise or diet ever has brought the result.
Mary may relent. Bhe ignores 21, now that she
is 47, and she has changed her mind in times gone
by. Bo, If she really wants Big Bill, she will take
him, obesity and all. As good a judge as Julius
Caesar asked to have fat men around him.
What, do you suppose, did the delegates go to
Chicago for in 1920? And why has Theodore Bur
ton been accused of making Harding, ’when it
whs Jake Ilarnon all the time, and everybody seems
to have known all about it? Kspecially, a lot of
folks no one ever heard of before?
The Bee’s investigator was three fourths right,
which is a whole lot closer than most political prog
nosticators have been coming to the mark of recent
year*.
A Japanese newspaper says we are “menu na
tionallsts.” If it gets no worse than that, we can
stand the threatened “breach of cordiality.”
Another open question: Why did everybody trust
Gaston B. Means with dangerous secret#?
Omaha ministers are all smooth shaven now. It
was not so in Aaron’s day.

A Illy bud In the garden,
Among the Iwautlful flower*,
Wn* buffeted by the March wind
Then fed by the April shower*
Till at last Its lietals opened
And looked up Into the sky,
While to Itself l( pondered:
“Of what e«rthly use am I.
I. only a little Illy,
Only a little white flower
Abloom In thla fragrant garden.
To fade with the coming hour?"
The gardener, so kind and gentle,
With his long and snowy hair.
Walked slowly down the pathway
And stood by the Illy there.
“Oh, lily! I pity you, Illy!
Your lot Is no envied one,
For you will he dead forever
When tomorrow’s day Is done.
My lady has given orders
That this little flower, so white,
Shall he sent for the Faster service
Straightway with the morning's
light."
Next day, all through the sermon.
The Illy nodded its head,
But after the service was over
The fair little flower was dead
After the service was over.
One with brow furrowed with care
Knelt down at the altar railing
And raised her voice In prayer.
She prayed to that One In heaven
Who cares for the sinner and saint,
Who cleanses our sins forever.
Our sin of the darkest taint.
Then the dear little Illy,
Emblem of purity sweet,
Was brushed from the altar rail
And fell at the jienltent's feet.
She picked It up and kissed It
While a tear stood In her eye:
“Oh, Illy, dear, precious lily!
Sweet Illy, why did you die?
Oh. Illy, dear little Illy!
Today I could envy thee;
Thou hast died for the King of Glory
Who died for the world and me,”
'Oh. Illy, dear little Illy!
Today thou has died for one
The Savior of sinful nations,
God's only tiegotten son."
And the tear that fell on the flower
Shone bright as the purest pearl,
While the angels smiled In heaven
And rejoiced for another soul.
She placed the flower on the Bible.
Passed out through the open door
And laid the withered lily,
Whose loving mission was o'er.

The Value of a Name.
From th* Cl«v#l»nd Plain Dwlir.
New York.—The sale of the Wool
worth building last week for $11,000,
000 revealed more than the actual
market value of the property. It
brought to light some sidelights on
the value of the name.
When the giant building was com
pleted in 1912 Its renting agents had
a very difficult time to find tenants
to fill its 59 floors. The name Wool
worth was associated only with S and
10-cent stores and big concerns did
not wish to have their names asso
ciated with it. Despite the fact that
the mew structure was the last word
in skyscrapers and located at Broad
way and Park place the renting
agents had to make unusual conces
sions to even partly fill the building.
Ah the president of one concern
which occupied a suite of offices on
one of the upper floors, told me: "We
didn’t want to have the name Wool
worth on our letterheads, for we
didn’t want to give that impression
to our business connections around
the country. But we were able to
get a long lease at such a low rental
that we waived our prejudices. Today
we are paying $21,000 a year for of
fices we were paying $7,000 only two
or three year# ago. Why? Be
cause after the building was made
famous throughout the world, Its
name liersme an asset Instead of a

Women Attendants Who
Know Funeral Ettiquette

Mr*. Er*lr* J- H»IU»d
in chart* of women
and children.
CiMEN attendant*, skilled not only In the peculiar
duties of their profession, but highly trained as well
in all the little niceties of funeral conduct, are one
big feature of Hoffmann Sendee.
Funeral etiquette is not a subject of pleasant consideration.
Yet there are many little niceties which must be observed,
particularly bv the family; and it is comforting, when grim
necessity demands, to know to whom to turn for sympa
thetic advice and suggestions.
Hoffmann's women attendant* may be freely consulted,
without hesitation or embarrassment, on any point involving
these questions. •
They are glad to be of service in this way. They will advise
on clothes—indeed, they will willingly go to the store and
help to select suitable garments if desired.
They will visit the home If requested, and confer with the
family on matters where a woman’s understanding and sym
pathy may help to comfort in hours of profoundest grief.
This is but one more feature of the complete Hoffmann
Service. It is included in every funeral sendee directed by
this institution, no matter whether the cost be but $100 for
an adult, $20 for an infant, or many times these amounts.
Consult us freely on any point in funeral etiquette, irrespec
tive of whether we are to conduct the sendee or not. \N e
shall consider it a privilege to serve you in either case.
