A-Tout'lliiir' KtiMtrr ( nntoni. A toucliiiiK Easter custom prevails on the Isles ov‘ Shoals, off the New England coast, which are peopled almost exclusively liy fisher folks. Easter morn recaUs to these the dead the s(*a has taken for its own during the year. and. sis the simple worshipers row from isle to isle to their rude, chapel on Star island, hunches of How ers, brought from the mainland, are dropped tenderly into the deep. The warm weather services are held out on the rocky beach of the islands, and the picture presented by the simple Usher worshipers, listening bareheaded to their pastor from natural .seats on the wide, flat rocks, is one that instinctively recalls that othdr Eastertide off on the shores of Galilee, when the disciples preached another resurrection's dawn to those who had s<vn ihe Nazarene ascend from off the cross on Calvary.— Boston Herald.
HuMcr In Itonie. • On the last day id' Lent everybody in Home rushes to the Vatican. In Italy the "sepulchers'’ in the churches are watched night and day by people clad in deep mourning, from the dawn of the Holy Thursday till midday on Saturday. when the body is supposed to rise from the grave. The resurrection is announci'd by the tiring of cannon, the blowing of trumpets and the ringing of the bells.

AN EASTER PARABLE.
The Word Easter is named from the feast day of the goddess Ostara or Eostre. IShe was supposed to be the personification of the opening of the year. The AngloSaxon name for April was Estormonatb, and it. is still known in Germany as Ostermonat.
An KiiHier Souk. All thy works shall praise thee, O my God! The mighty storms down sweeping from the skies Make fresh and new the green upon the sod. Where low the dandelion shining lies. High rides the sun. hts golden reins unstacked. Yet tenderly his blessing downward falls Into the valley with its wild bloom packed. Where sweet the thrush his morning flute tone calls. All thy works shall praise thee—praise thee most! The wide, deep ocean lifts its crested waves And all its billows like a raging host Calm to the hand that quiets and that saves. Wild fly the winds, yet chanting as they go Of thee, my God, and my own humble heart, That loves alike all things both high and low, Doth with these praises Join a joyous part. All thy works shall praise thee, © my Godt --Kate Slaughter McKinney In New Orleans Timos-Democrat.
Lesson to Be Learned From the Gardener and the Flower. Once in a sheltered garden there bloomed a beautiful flower so sweet and pure that the south wind forsook all other spots to sweep ceaselessly, caressingly around it, whispering soft words of love. But one day the flower faded, nor could the south wind, with warm kisses, revive its drooping head. Then came the gardener through his garden, who, seeing the dying flower, plucked it from its stem and, tearing out Us golden heart, buried it deep in the black earth. “Cruel, cruel man!” shrieked the south wind, because it understood not. All winter long the cold, white snowlay on the heart of the flower, aud over it the south wind sobbed its rage at the pitiless gardener. But when tho spring came, behold, the flower arose more beautiful than before! Aud the south wind, understanding, kissed the bronzed cheek of the gardener in Joyous penitence. Wondrous kind is the Gardener of the Universe, though man, foolish and fickle as the south wind, understands him not, and as one who loves all growing things will stoop to brush a little blemish from the humblest flower, so stoops he to remove the smallest sorrow from the tiniest blossom in his great garden or light petaled stars.— New York Herald.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON II, SECOND QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 10. Text «>f I lie Leaaon, Murk Till, 27-38. Memory Vcraea, 34, 35—Golden Teat, Matt. xrf. I<l — Commentary Frel»ared by Rev. D. M. Stearua. [Copyright, 1'XH, i>y A mem an Press Association.} This lesson is recorded In Matt, xvi and Luke ix, as well as in Mark, and contains the first particular prediction concerning the rejection, the death and resurrection of the Christ. Luke says that He was alone, praying, junl His disciples with Him. when He asked them this question, Whom do men’say that I am? He was evidently leading ! up to the following question: Whom say ye that 1 am? 'The people had various opinions about Him, some thinking Him to be John the Baptist and 011101*8 Elijah or Jeremiah or one of the other prophets, but Peter, answering for himself, said. “Thou art the Christ, the Sou of the living God” (Matt. xvi. .10). To this Jesus answered, “Blessed art thou. Simon Barjoua, for flesh and blood hatb not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is in heaven” (Matt, xvi, 17). Man cannot of himself know God or recognize Christ. God only can reveal Himself to any one, and this He does by Ilis Spirit, but there is no hindrance to our knowing God except on our part, for all w*bo will may acquaint themselves with Him (Job xxii, 21; John vf, .'}7>. in the words following, spoken by our Lord, “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church,” if our teachers had told us that our Lord said. “Thou are ‘Petros,’ and upon ibis ‘petra’ I will build My church,” and had also told us that "petros” signifies a piece of rock, a stone, while "petra” signifies a solid rock, a ledge (according to any Greek dictionary), how much idle talk aud controversy we might have been saved from concerning the church being built upon such a piece of .stone, a rolling stone, as Peter. Did your heart ever say. “Thank God. neither the wisdom nor the power of hell shall ever prevail againsd tbe ehuroh of Chfist?” As Peter was privileged to open the door to the Jews at Pentecost and to the gentiles in the house of Cornelius (Acts ii; x; xi) we can see his use of the keys, but wemust bear in mind that while the kingdom includes the church tht church is not the kingdom. Whoever heartily believes that Jesus is the Christ and understands it cannot but rejoice to lie used to the utmost to help complete the church and hasten the kingdom. ’ 4 The Jewish leaders having rejected Him as their Christ or Messiah and. having determined to kill Him, the disciples are forbidden to declare to any one that He is the Christ, He then declares plainly that not only have the ciders, chief priests and scribes rejected Him. but He is to suffer many things at their hands and be killed by them at Jerusalem (Matt, xvi, 21), but the third day He will rise again. When He, the third time, told them that lie was to die and rise again He told them more fully of His sufferings and also the manner of Ills death; that He would lie mocked and scourged and crucified (Matt, xvil, 20; xx, 10). They do not receive His sayings, aud impulsive Peter says that it must not be. According to Matt, xvi, 22, Peter said "Be it far from Thee, Lord (margin, pity Thyself); this shall not be unto thee.” From this rejection of the cross [ on to Peter’s denial he seems to be increasingly out of fellowship, but the love of Christ was unchanged toward him (John xiii. 1). The Lord Jesus tohl him that now he was. representing Satan and not God. How strange that from the same mouth may come blessing and cursing, sweet" water and bitter (Jas. iii, S-12), but Peter, although saved, was not yet a Spirit filled man. There was much of Peter. When we are Spirit filled self is reckoned dead, and the Lord Jesus alone has the right of way in us, and Gal. ii, 20, is our experience. / He. now called the p^ple to Him and gave them a message as well as the disciples. I will quote it from Luke ix,,23. for the sake of one word not given by the others, “If any man will come after Me let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” This certainly means following fully, like Caleb and Joshua, and not following afar off like Simon Peter; not merely denying something to oneself, but actually denying one's own self and treating it as dead and buried. The cross never suggests flowers or jet or jewelry, but always prolonged suffering, daily dying (II Cor. iv, 11; Rom. viil, 3d). The saying concerning losing or saving one’s life was often used by our Lord. See two other occasions in Matt, x, 3P; John xii. 25. There is the present and there is the future of glory or of torment: To insist on pitying and pampering and indulging and living unto self in this present life may mean eternal poverty and torment and surely wffl mean that if the precious biood of Christ is despised and not trusted in. To wean us from self and present things and lead us to seek treasure in heaven and have our affections llrere He sets before us His glory and His kingdom, assuring us of Ilis desire to have us share it and that He has given it to us (John xvii, 22. 24; I John Hi, 2. 3; Phil. iii. 20. 21). We must distinguish between om* meeting Him in the air as He leaves His Father’s throne to return to earth to restore all things of which the prophets have spoken and our return with Him when He shall he manifest in His glory to sit on the throne of His glory to judge the nations (I Thess. iv, 10-18; Acts iii, 20. 21; Col. iii, 4; Matt. xxv. 31; Rev. iii, 21). It will well repay to look up every reference prayerfully. Each one fSfr himself must search the Scriptures and receive all meekly. - .
