j Submission was
| In his make-up. When Abraham would
offer him aa a sacrifice on Mount Mo-
riah he made no resistance, though
the knife actually flashed over him.
What a picture he was of our Lord
in his submission (Heb. 10:5-7). This
element appears again in Isaac's life
at Gerar. As fast as he would dig
wells at this place the" Philistines
| would contend for them, but instead
of quarreling, Isaac would move on
and dig another well. The outcome
of his meekness was that the Philis-
tines came to him to make a cov-
enant. saying, "We saw certainly that
the Lord was with thee." Even now
there Is a sense in which the meek
inherit the earth.
{ This quiet man was thoughtful, and
j we see him going out to meditate in
the fleids at the eventide (Gen. 24:63).
Quiet people may know things better
than others and know them more
deeply. This twentieth century, "with
j bloodshot eye and fevered pulse," has
lost the art of meditation, but only
this fact that we are making here our
status there. Death Is the commence-
ment of greater effectiveness for life-
That stone is rolled away from our
sepulchers.
It Is also true that Christ gave
ground for believing that our loved
ones gone are still with us. He told
his disciples that where they were,
there he would be In the midst of
them. He spoke of a home he had
gone to prepare and of coming to take
them to it. Enframe this as one may,
the picture is the same—reunion with
the loved ones gone. You come home
from a trip abroad. As you draw near
the pier the hands of loved ones wave
to you, the steamer ties up to her
wharf and you are again in the arms
of those so dear. So it is at death.
You have been long away from those
at home, but the vessel that has car-
ried you—your body—ties up some
day to the little green wharf on some
quiet hillside and you again are with
your dear ones.
There rolls the last stone away.
Rev. John Brittan Clark.

of birds, and they would learn to love
the woodland beauties quite as well as
their own stems and plants, and too
well to pick them and let them die in a
few hours.
This spring the kingfisher comes
back to his favorite haunts, and we
hear him as from a limb overhanging
the river, with a harsh, loud cry he
drops down and seizes the yellow be'ly
on which he has nad his eye so lone,
awaiting the opportunity to secure &
good dinner In this way.
The phoebe, which we all know and
love to hear in the early springtime,
commences to build the last of this
month. Their nests are found under
the eaves, bridges or oU barns, and
are made of grass, fine moss and hair
plastered together with mud and lined
with soft feathers and wool. The

So man must ever seek to rise
superior to the destructive forces
around him. He must measure up
to his ideal if he would escape the
debasement wrought by the domi-
nance of his lower self. In no other
way can he expect to live the Ideal
life. His inspiration and Ideal are
found in Christ. His entrance as an
amateur into the Christian life Is
but indicative of his growth into that
of -an artist. And !n this progressive
cumulative ascendancy he Is con-
scious of the leadership of One, who.
by one decisive stroke of matchless
power. In the resurrection from the
death, proved his Sonship, authority,
superiority and divinity.
Therefore, however wild and steep
your path may be; however mighty
the sweep of sinfnl propensities and
habits: however dark and threaten-
ing the clonds that cross your path,
take heart and press on' Easter's
message is for the world. It puts a
song in the Individual heart. So aa
nature responds to the touch of
spring, may mankind everywhere eo-
tsr into the spirit of Easter.

Isaac's commonplace life is notable
because linked with Christ. He was
sn ancestor of Christ and also a typo
of him In that his birth was super-
natural and that, "In a figure," he was
offered up and also raised from the
dead. Our lives may be made signifi-
cant. In thst they. too. may be linked
with Chrtst. Paul exhorts that even

their earthly masters, but as unto the

RELIEF HAS
BEEN_PERMANENT
Says Cardai Built Up Sytte® Whet
Other Medicines Failed. Believes
It Sated Her Life.
Hendersonvllle, N. C.—Mrs. M. A.
Redmon. of R. F. D. 1. this place,
writes: "I wish to state that before
having taken Cardul, my condition of
health was all run-down, and had been
that way ever since my marriage two
years ago last May. I only weighed
107 pounds. My average weight is
135 pounds. I had such awful pains
at times I could hardly go... I had
severe pains in my back and abdomen,
and could scarcely do my work... I
could not lift anything heavy.
"In November, 1913, I began taking
Cardui. I thought I would give it a
trial though my family doctor, •,
had set the date for an examination
of me... I saw my improvement after
taking the first bottle... I am getting
fat and well, and in March this year
I weighed 128 pounds... Your Cardul
tonic built up my system when all
other medicines failed. I feel and look
like a different person... I am still...
praising it to my friends,... for I can
truly say I believe it saved my life.
My relief from all pain has been per-
manent."
If you are run-down in health and
need a tonic, take Cardai, the woman's
tonic. It will help you.
