they gave their daughter, Miss

young Mr. Highbone, Rev. Z.

The blushing and handsome
bride wore a pale pink cheese
cloth gown and a necklace of
wild onions. She carried a
lovely bouquet of cotton blooms
and looked angelic as they
marched to higlengrins “Green
Corn” as it poured forth from
the piano. The groom was at
tired in green, cutaway over
alls, and wore a mounted Irish
potato in his cravat for a dia
mond. From his watch fob was
suspended a small cabbage
head, the gift of a banker
friend.
Many prominent friends wit
nessed the impressive nuptials,
after which the happy twain

government and state institu
tions. The comptroller or his
assistant is required to audit
every state department and

CONSIDER the lilies of the
field."—Matt. 6:26, 28. 29
What has this text to do
with Easter day? Let us
think awhile Life and death;
the battle between life and daath;
life conquered by death; and
conquered again by life. Those
were the mysteries over which the
men of old time thought, often till
their hearts were sad. And because
our forefathers were a sad and earn
est folk; because they lived In a sad
and dreary climate, where winter was
far longer and more bitter than it is,
thank God, now; therefore all their
thoughts about winter and spring
were sad; and they grew to despair,
at last, of life ever conquering death.
Dr light conquering darkness.
All living things would 'die. The
very gods would die, fighting to the
last against the powers of evil, till the
sun should sink forever, and the world
be a heap of ashes. And then—so
strangely does God's gift of hope
lnger in the hearts of men—they saw
—beyond all that, a dim dream of a
iew heaven and a new earth, in which
hould dwell righteousness; and of a
iew sun. more beautiful than ours;
if a woman called "Life,” hid safe,
vhile all the world around her was
lestroyed, fed on the morning dew,
(reserved to be the mother of a new
,nd happier raoe of men. And so to
hem, heathens as they were, God
vhispered that Christ should some
lay bring life and immortality to
Ight
“So it pleased the Father,” says St.
^ul, “to gather together In Christ
l11 things, whether In heaven or in
larth.”
In him were fulfilled, and more
han fulfilled, the dim longings, the
jhlldlike dreams, of heathen poets
uid sages, and of our own ancestors
from whom we spring. He is the de
sire of all nations, for whom all were
longing, though they knew it not. And
now we may see, it seems to me, what
the text has to do with Easter day.
Be not anxious, says our Ix>rd, for
your life. Is not the life more than
meat? There is an eternal life which
depends not on earthly food, but on
the will and word of God your Father; !
and that life in you will conquer
death. Consider the lilies in the field.
All the winter they are dead, unsight
ly roots, hidden in the earth. What
can come of them? ~ * —
