Our actions reminded me somewhat of the Hibernian just landed on our shores, woo was seen tiptoeing with bared bead In pawing a white milestone which he had mistaken for a memorial to a de parted soul. In obedience tooui guide' 8 command we did not remove our shoes, but we put on some slippers, that our miserable feet mignr not denle tbe floor. The peculiarity about these slippers is that they are not slippers at all, but heelless and rearless sandals, into which you jump and stay there by shulHiug your leet as you waiE. The result is that while your soul ia raised into the seventh heaven of delight by the grand' eurs of the architecture around you your thoughts are suddenly called down tn tbis mundane sphere by your loot slip pling out of its encasement and A SHARP EYED TURK glowerlDg fiercely upon you. MattiDg was spread over tne floor : lor there are no chairs or benches, and upon the floor tbe faithful Mussulman must bow and kneel and pray. The rolls of mattiDg do not lie lengthwise of the building, tbev run criss-cross, so that the follower of Mohammed in his devotions may face the south east, that is, may look in tbe direction of his dear Mecca. .Whatever these mumblings and in tit terings and placlngs of the forehead up on the floor mean, whether there is any thing more than the merest form in these lip and body gymnastics is not for us to decide; but certain it is that tbe Mohammedans believe in observing tbe letter of tbe law. The " riesland" was leaving Alexandria. The waves were dashing high over tha- rocks ; the put ting to, sea cwas perilau at that time, and good sestnen on-shore wondered that our captain ventured from port uut tbe nzed day and hour when we were doe at Naples made us not bide for wind and weather, so the anchor was hoisted. The pilot took his station and tbe Captain in his aerial chamber was studying his charts. Suddenly the red disk of tbe sun neared the horizon ; the muezzin from the minarets on tbe shore were warning tbe faithful that the hour of prayer was at hand. The cap tain raised bis eyes. The pilot was not at his post. Good heavens! in a mo ment our ship would be driving on the reef, ine captain s second glance took m tne situation : tne pilot, a better Jio hammedan than seaman, bad carefully spread bis handkerchief upon tbe deck, und with face uplifted toward Mecca was lost in the ecstasy of his devotions, wnne tne American tourists were in in stant peril of their lives. Of course, the captain was not very polite in the com bined Anglo-German phrase that he ad dressed to tne follower of the Frophet Tbe most Independent jndividflal in the world in the" American,' acd he does not leave his independence at home when he travels. He humbles himself lot before the gleaming bny9etfl of John Bull nor uaaer-cne enaaow oi tne ultan's serag Ho.

Con sequently, our American cousins would not have been surprised to see a company oi "irriesianders" march in extended col umn through the streets, right through the middle of tbe streets, of Constanti nople, eating their lunches from "neat paper boxes." in this marching com pany were a distinguished physician from New Jersey and a not so distinguished clergyman from Connecticut, but what uf that 1 Tbe donkeys with their heavy panniers had to take the sidewalk,, and even tne oogs the flrst time on record had to bestir their lazy feet; buiAmeri ea carried thefday. --;'!

(2) LIFE PROVES DOCTRINE, AND TRUE CHRISTIAN LIVES ARE THE BEST POSSI BLE PROOF OF CHRIST'S RESURRECTION. AN EASTER SERMON BY REV OTIS W. BARKER TN THE NEWTOWN CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH. -' You all know the story of Pompeii It stood some twenty miles outside the walls of Rome, and much less than half that distance from the volcano of Vesu vius, upon whose lofty summit hung a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. And not far away was the Bay of Naples, then as now the love liest bay in the world, Its bright ' blue waters ever" dancing in the sunshine, surrounded on three sides by high slop ing hills, with the two beautiful islets of Iscbia and Capri standing as "silent sentinels" at tbe entrance of the bay ; Tbe inhabitants of Pompeii lived much as people live to-day ; they feasted and draDk and trafficked and spent mhch of their time in being amused with theatric al shows. Day after day they heard tbe rumbling of Vesuvius. It' became a constant sound to their ears ; they grew wonted to it just as dwellers by the sea side grow wonted to the noise of the breakers and tbe splash of the surf as it da?hes on the wave-beat shore. One day,, you remember the date, on tbe 25th of Augr.st in the year 79, the old giant awoke. For centuries he had been slumbering or only moving restlessly on his bard pillow, but now he was fully awake. Tbe column of smoke that ever lingered over . the summit of Vesuvius formed"" itself into a great cloud. The cloud rose higher and higher. It over spread the sky. it shut out the sun The inhabitants of Pompeii, saw what was coming; the note of warning was given, but it was too late. Thousands escaped, but thousands remained to die All day long it rained, but such a rain as brought no satisfaction to the thirsty land, such a rain as there never was be fore on any shore.. Stones, lava and mud fell; to the depth of 5, 10, 15, al most 20 feet the mass of molten lava drained from out the bowels of tbe earth fell and covered Pompeii, the city, with its ttreets and bouses and theft res and sport-loving people. Thus Pompeii be came a buried city, a city -which bad a history once, but its history was gone, a city which had a name ones, but whose very name was for many ages to be lost to the world. : SOME FIFTY OR SO YEARS AGO a farmer was digging a well in his gar den. When .he bad dug down several feet in tbe ; ground, he came to portion of a walL Thinking some treas ure might be discovered, he opened up a large space. The story became known to other men; and,, after a while, the story of Pompeii' was recalled, the city which tbe monster Vesuvius over- whelmed with its molten mass .1800 years before. " To-day you walk through the' streets of that city, for the Italian government has caused nearly the whole area to be disentombed. There are the deep ruts worn in the stones of the -pavement by the Roman chariot-wheels 19 centuries ago. There is the theatre with its porches and tiers ot seats and its amphi theathre before you appearing almost as if the play were to , begin. There is the stone oven built In the wall and the mill for grinding the grain- near --byj where the millet was, overtaken when the fear ful storm of lava came and where his 50 blackened and shrivelled loaves ot bread were found. v There is. the spot at the corner of the street where stood the Ro man sentinel, keeping at his- post of duty till the death-dealing tempest held him fast.- Then stroll through the museum. It is a strange place ; let me explain it. In digging through tbe mud rain the ex cavators came upon large hollows. - At first, these were passed over unheeded ; but at length sbme lngeuibus fellow con ceived the idea of filling .these hollows with plaster of Paris. The plaster of Paris hardened, and lo! there were per fect representations. 'of .men and, women who were -'overtaken by the ;iava' storm. Here is a mother- protecting her child. Here is a poor fellow caught as he was fleeing for his life i see the "muscles of hia face as they portray the agony of death ! Here is a miser who could not leave his gold. .These .are the strange sights that you see in Pompeii once bur-" ted; but Tesurrected to-day. : ';."" ! But how does this story f of - the un earthed city fit into the thought of Faster morning? I have tried to think of some thing else, I have tried to preach of something else; but a few weeks ago that scene ; was Impressed so vividly on tne that I cannot but think of it now,and it brings to me what seems apt illustration of thoughts for Faster-time. . . First, then, in resurrected Pompeii! find this, thought ;" we cannot bury our words or our deeds or our lives; they must -be- resurrected some day. How completely Pompeii seemed buried 1 17 feet of ashes and stones and - lava were piled above it; tbe last trace of it seemed gone, the faintest vestige of Its life seemed carried away now the city just as it was buried is opened to public view. "' ,- . HOW LONG POMPEII REMAINED BURIED 1 19 centuries had- been marked on Time's calender, and had - gone.' The Roman Empire' had '.passed on and up , to tbe zenith- of -Us- power, -and-theni- like a shattered building, it had .fallen to tbe ground.3Ch.eJBQRian,.CatboHc,' Church had lived on until it festered and reeked with corruption, and then Protestant- Ism, like a fresh flower, had grown from j tbe old decaying heap ot morbid super stition and useless form. Pompeii seemed buried forever, but it now stands plainly revealed. . " My friends, you cannot bury cities, and you cannot bury men. Our thoughts were born to live. Our deeds were born to live. We were born never to die. There may seem to be deathy justs as in the weeks past there has seemed to be death In the lims of the trees along tne central roadway of our village,' just as there has seemed to be death in the withered stalks of our rose-bushes and in our clambering - honeysuckle vines, just as there has seemed to be death in the clods of earth we have pressed be neath our feet; but for all these a glori ous resurrection-day has come. 'A per iod of sleep is necessary for labor, a period of lounging in the Bhade for active work in the sun, a loss of consciousness in the night for returning exertion with the opening day ; and .that yttle while; of forgetf ulness which : we call death is necessary for the putting-on of nobler powers, for the development of richer experiences,, for the- passing. into the real, true life of Heaven. Were there no biting blasts ; of winter to sweep away poisonous vapors , and mias matic damps, there could be no spring time freshness, no summer flowers; and, were there no sharp winds of sorrow nd gloomy days and sicKness ana aeatn to cut down our foolish pride And sweep away our heated ambition,, there could be no spring-time of glorious resurrection for the soul. . ' , Y ! "' So, take this thought for Easter-time your pain, your grief, your dUappbintf ment may for a time bury and over whelm your noble life and the! yure re solves of your soul; but, if you believe in Jesus, if you pray to Him fair strength and trust in Him for pardon who is the resurrection ' and the, life these griefs and disappointments can never; eternally bury your true life -nor, forever destroy you. Christ, I believe, would reach down His finger to-day and touch us all to 'say :J "Child of Mine, on this glad Easter morn I -pray you get hold ' -the true idea of life. . Life is a chain that knows no breaking, life is a sun that knows no setting, life is! a great, master ful hope whose brightness ought never be lost in death's dark stream. Life is a bundle; of. arrows of which each day shoots one dart. Life is a garment of which each day weaves one thread, painting of which each day draws one line. Yesterday is not lost with to-day and to-day links hands with to-morrow. and eternity is the harvest of the years You were not born to die, you werehorn to live on and forever as My brother, as co-heir with Me in the regions of light AS THE UPGROWINQ STALK lifts itself above the clod, as the burst ing bud emerges from the hard casing of wood, so you were made to come out of sin and sorrow and pain and death ''into untram lieled life. On This Easter day above all things else, get hold the true idea of life." : . ...This thought: naturally. leads me to say : our lives as Christians should fur nish proof for the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. How do we know of the unearthed city of Pompeii, now so lonely desolate and deserted, that it had many inhabitants or was ever inhabited at all Is it because history tells us of the pop ulous city that was there? Is At.Jbe' cause of the - concurring testimony "of contemporaneous men? - There is a tes timony far more conclusive than that ; it comes from the deep ruts jin the 'pave ment of the' streets, from, the marking of Roman letters on the walls, from the vestibules and peristyles ' worn by - the prints of many passing feet. - How do we know that the resurrection of Jesus was a fact? Is it from the concurring testimony of the four evangelists, every statement of whom with reference to this matter is candid and straightfor ward, and every sentence rings with the - positiveness Lot those who knew whereof they spake? Is it from the ad ded testimony of Paul, to whom the risen Christ appeared from the opened skies? Is it from tbe testimony of the five hundred who on a mountain in Gali lee touched and saw their risen! Master and-held sweet converse with Him? As good as all this is, and as accumulative as the evidence becomes, there is testi mony far more conclusive than that. It comes from the tracings ot tbe ifactof Christ's resurrection on character and and its markings on human lives, What Christianity has done for the world in uplifting it and blessing it and enriching it is the best proof of the truth , of the claims that Christianity makes.! Truth uprears, error destroys : truth; brings more light, error, turns ""the "little light there is into darkness; truth is a child growing as tne years .go. on into; sturdy manhood, error Is an old man tottering on the brink of the grave. !; . ' If Christ rose from 'the., dead 1600 years ago, the world 1s better j to-day than it was then. If the - world is not better", let us give up our Christianity and let us cease our claims? for pet-ine say it, though it may startle you to hear it, . ....... u IF THE WORLD HAS ADVANCED not a whit since Christ's day in its strug gle, toward that which is upright and godly and pure' then. it. makes; not a whit of diflerence whether Christ rose or not. What are the facts? In the Bo man Empire at the time of Christ wo men were compelled by a decree of the Roman senate to offer their bodies for prostitution ; now they do so through- no compulsion r and. to their . own i bitter shame. In the Roman Empire in Christ's day only here and there was a man 'like Cicero or Seneca who lived up to a high standard of ; moral life ; no w -millions throughout the world are living humble, godly, consistent Christian - lives that bring honor to the .name they, profess. unce slavery was tne common iot or a large portion of mankind ; now the auc tion block for traffic in the souls of men has gone with the gibbet and the thumb screw of a dark and barbarous1 ' past. Once dishonesty in public life Was the common thing, the praised thing, the ac cepted thing: now, although it still trails iU sin-stained garment through the fair borders of this and . other , lands, the signs of the times plainly show that it Is fast going into the contempt it deserves, and that public place is coming to be re ceived "as a prrblicf-trtrstr: Life is the proof of doctrine. ; A risen' Christ is -a world uplifting, heart ennoblltg, soul emiching, love '. inspiring; sor row dispelling, life infusing, death destroying v Christ - forever" and -. for ever. If He is this, -1- iasten Him all 'the more cloBely to my heart; if He is not this, I eay plainly, I care not for for Him as my Saviour. , . , " ' " ;. ; lv .. . .
