To the Unbeliever
Is It too much to lay
Your unbelief aside
Just for this one brief day,
Just for His sake who died
Nailed to the cruel tree,
There where the darkness fell?
Is it too much, since He
Gave so freely and well?
Is It too much to give
Him they could crucify
For teaching men how to live,
For showing them howto die?
Humbly He came, and so
He went on His righteous way.
Is it too much to throw
Doubt aside for today?
Is it too much to bow
Humbly a little while?
Think of His bleeding brow,
See His pitying smilei
He gave us His all and took
Nothing but sin away;
Is it too much to look
Upward with love today?

The Comfort of
Easter Day
Lesson of Season TTfot Brooaht
Peace to Afflicted Little Heart
HE child was sobbing blt
-1 terly. The sweet young
mother whom he loved
. had been burled la the
J earth. He thought that she
had gone lorever.
A loving aunt had come
to take care of him, and
she tried to comfort him.
"Your mother is living
still, dear,” she said. "You
#
will see her again. She is watching
you this minute. She loves you Just
the same as ever.”
"No, no," wept the child; “she Is
dead. The doctor said so; and I know
It Is true, because 1 kissed her, and
she did not kiss me back again. It
she had known, she would have kissed
me back again—for she always did.
And, oh, oh—my mother Is dead!”
“I know it seems so, darling,”
sighed the aunt, whose own heart waa
sore and heavy, “but under that still
face there was yet life. Christ showed
us that when he rose from the dead.
He did not answer when his mother
and his disciples called him; but one
day he rose from this seeming death,
to show us that no one really dies.
That was the first Easter day. Men
had always hoped—but they had never
surely known before then —that the
dead could rise again. Is It not beau
tiful, dear?”
The child for a little seemed com
forted. Then he looked over to the
familiar chair where the sweet mother
had been wont to hold him and pet
him, and again he broke into sobs. He
was only five —and his little mind
could not grasp the great, sweet truth
which his aunt had been telling him.
At last she said: “I will show It to
you some time so that you will under
stand/’
It was In the early springtime that
the young mother had been laid away
from his sight. The cold winds were
blowing, the trees looked bare and
gaunt an'd 'dead.
Out among the leafless woods the
aunt led the grieving child.
“See these poor trees,” she said to
him. “Does it not look to you as
though they were quite dead?”
He felt carefully of the branch
which she held out to him.
“Yes,” he answered; “it Is only an
old dead stick —just good to burn In
the fire.”
“It seems so,” she admitted, “but
wait a while, and we will come back
here again.”
One warm, sunny day, a few weeks
later, she took him to the same spot
and showed him the same bough
again. It was covered with soft,
fuzzy leaf-buds, and little clusters of
tender green leaves were bursting
from them.
“And it Is bo with our dear ones
who die,” she reminded him gently.
“They seem dead, but they really
live; and somewhere they are happy
and beautiful —more beautiful than
they were here —just as the leaves are
more beautiful than the bare tree.”
The child gazed after them. Then
he looked back at the once dead-look
ing, hare trees. He remembered well
the queer, brown sticks. How wonder
ful It wasl
“They seemed dead,” she reminded
THE CHEYENNE RECORD.
him again, gently; "but you see that
they were not.”
‘•No,” he rejoined thoughtfully, "they
were not.”
“It Is so with our dear ones,” she
repeated. “They may seem to be dead,
but they are not."
One day she took some poppy seed
and showed to him.
“Is It pepper?” he asked. “Or la it
the powder that my father uses In his
gun?”
“No,” she told him. “It is not pep
per, nor powder; but It seems just as
dead, doesn't It?”
•’Yes,” he answered again, positively.
“It Is just as dead as It can be.”
“I am going to drop it into the
earth here," she said gravely; and she
took up a trowel and dug Into the
rich eaftb. Then she scattered the
dead powder In the hole that she had
made, and covered It carefully.
A fortnight later she took the child
to see It
"You remember that dead black
powder that we sowed here,” she re
minded him.
“Yes,” he answered quickly. "It
was just here.. This la the little board
you put in so that we might know.”
“And yet these pretty little gray
green plants came from those dead,
black seeds,” she told him.
“Right out of them?” be asked
breathlessly.
"Yes. They seemed so small and
black, you know; yet there was the
germ of a little plant In each one of
them, and soon they will be covered
with bright flowers. We could never
believe anything so strange If we did
not see It right before our eyes. And
so It Is with the loved ones that we
think are dead. They are not dead;
and In some other world, we do not
know where, they bloom from their
cold, lifeless bodies, just as the leaves
broke from the tree, and these little
plants from the dead seeds.”
“Yes—yes, I see,” breathed the
child, through starting tears.
"But men were dull,” went on the
loving aunt, trying to make It very
plain to him. “For hundreds of years
meh had seen the dead trees leave
out, and the plants spring from
dead seed, and still they could
not really believe that If a man died
he would live again. So God sent
Christ to show us all these things. He
taught us how to live; and then he
seemed to die, but he rose from the
dead on the,third day, and talked with
his friends, to show us that, as he
lived after death, so we should live
also. And the great apostle Paul
made it plainer still. He said that we
were sown a natural body and we
should be raised a spiritual body. We
do not understand It, any more than
we understand this marvelous change
of the seed Into the flower; but we
must believe that It Is true.”
“Yes,” breathed the child; "I see.
and I must believe that my mother Is
up yonder”—he waved his little hand
—“with a beautiful new body; not
sick any more, and happy, and that I
will see her again when I go up there,
too.”
“You see,” she explained to him,
“men were so glad—so glad when the
great hope came to them that they
would live after death that every year
they rejoice on the day Christ rose.
For two thousand years they have kept

that day. Just think what joy it
brought Into the world!"
"Is it the happiest day in the year?"
he asked her.
She thought of the day of Christ’s
birth, and spoke of it.
"But I think,” he said at last thought
fully, "that it was more beautiful to
hare him come back from the dead
even than to have -him born; so I
am going to like the Kaster day best
of all."

CHIEF FACTOR IN NATIONAL DE
GENERACY.
A wave of degeneracy la eweepng
the land, and Its development threat
ens the physical vitality of the nation.
Within a period of DO years the popu
lation of the United States Increased
3SO per cent., while the number of in
sane and feeble-minded increased 950
per cent.
What Is the eause of this degener
acy? A hundred different intermediate
agencies may contribute to the undo
ing of the race, nut back of them all
stands alcohol as the chief degen
erative factor. Statistics compiled by
the leading Insurance companies, and
presented by Sir T. P. Whitaker in a
report to the British parliament, show
that out of every 1,000 deaths among
the population at large, 440 are due to
alcohol. This would mean a mortality
from alcohol’ in the United States of
680,000 a year.
The great burden of drink Is not
borne by the drinker, but by the drink
ers' children. In our studies among
school children In New York city we
find that 62 per cent, are the children
of drinking parents, and that 91 per
cent, of these children of drinking
parents suffer from some functional
or organic disease. If this percentage
holds good over the entire country
there are 13,000,000 children of a
school age that are afflicted with func
tional and organic diseases, and less
than two and a half millions of these
are free from hereditary alcohol taint.
A nation half diseased and half well
cannot live, but here we show three
fifths of the rising generation mentally
and physically diseased.—Dr. L. Alex
ander MacNicholl.
STRIKES FROM THE SHOULDER.
(From an Address of MORRIS SHEP
PARD. Before the Texas Legislature
After His Election as United States
Senator.)
The liquor traffic Is a peril to so
ciety because if undermines the
health, the strength, and the Integrity
of man. It is a source of danger to
posterity because the alcoholic taint
foredooms the unborn millions to de
generacy and to disease. I shall op
pose this scourge until my arm can
strike no longer and my tongue can
speak no more. I shall oppose it-be
cause I hear the cries of children who
are hungering for tread. I shall op
pose It because I see a mother’s
wasted face, her pale lips pleading
with the besotted figure at her side.
I shall oppose It because I see the
staggering forms of men whose trem
bling hands hold but the ashes of
their strength and pride. I shall op
pose it because it mocks all manhood
and makes of woman’s virtue a com
modity of the Blums. I shall oppose
it because I see its battle line out
stretched across the globe, threaten
ing the pure, the true, the good. I
shall oppose It because Its abolition
will mean a new stability for the re
public, a new radiant for the flag.
TROUBLE-MAKER
A Pittsburgh paper tells us that
“one person out of every 95 in Penn
sylvania was behind prison bars In
1911. Out of 707 prisoners receiving
penitentiary sentence 80 per cent,
were drlnkys. Out of 10,607 prison
ers sentenced to serve time In Jails
and workhouses over 85 per cent,
were drinkers. Out of 3,670 persons
sentenced to the Allegheny workhouse
in 1912, 92 per cent, were drinkers.
Father Penn's children who are de
pendent wholly or in part for support
upon the taxpayers outnumber the
combined armies of Meade and Lee
at Gettysburg In 1863. The vast ma
jority of them are the victims of John
Barleycorn. One person out of every
45 In Father Penn’s dominion Is de
pendent either as a lunatic, pauper
or criminal."
The drink traffic produces criminals,
paupers, dependents and undesirables
generally. The state pays the bills.
The twentieth century taxpayer is
waking up to the situation. He—and
she —Is moving to "put the liquor busi
ness out of the government and the
government out of the liquor busi
ness."
ONE EXCEPTION.
Legitimate industries favorably af
fect each other. The liquor traffic
unfavorably affects them all. The more
It flourishes, the more they must de
cline. Its profits are taken from the
merchant, and the manufacturers be
hind him; from the butcher, and the
cattle raisers behind him; from the
farmer, the miller, the baker, the
builder, the shoemaker, the printer,
the teacher, and the preacher. Every
honest producer suffers from It. The
country suffers from It. More than low
tariff, or high tariff, or no tariff at all.
