The Syracuse Journal INDEPENDENT. ED. C. GRAHAM. Editor and Publisher. Published Every Thursday at. Syracuse, Indiana. One Dollar Per Year. Entered as second-class matter May 4, /408, at the post office at Syracuse, Jiidiana, under the Act of Congress oj Ma rch 3, 1879. The bulls in the wheat market have had possession of the field for some time. People are wondering ' now whether anything like present prices are to continue after all the May- deals are closed. Reports from the winter wheat.area indicate that there will be a considerable shortage in the coming harvest on account of the extremely dry weather last fall at seeding tyne and thereafter and the unfavorable winter that followed. The legislature of Illinois is still in session at Springfield with 900 bills before it. The Illinois plan is a better ope than ours. They pay their legislators a thousand dollars each—no more—and let them “legislate” as long as they want to; we pay ours by the day and limit their session to< sixty-one days, which is time insufficient for them to properly consider the matters that come before them, on account of which many worthy measures fail, while foolish and undigested ones get through in the rush of the session’s last days, some of which are so ridiculous as to bring derision upon the whole state. We call attention to a sonnet' on the first page of this issue of the Journal by Preston H. Miles, that is lofty in its optimism and clever in its execution. If the sentiment expressed in it were that of every one of us; if we would exercise more charity for the weaknesses of our fellows, and more exalt their virtues, of which the lowliest have many—in short, if we would lose a portion of our own selfishness and correspondingly enlarge our consideration for and our interests in our neighbors, what a beautiful dwelling place we could make of this splendid bld world of ours. But we are so often prone rather to magnify the errors of others and to belittle their virtues, to the injury of them and of ourselves. . Another Chicago University professor has broken loose—George B. Foster, professor of the philosophy of religion in that institution. He declares that the period is approaching when Christ will be forgotten, and that humanity would be better off without His influence. This, in face of the fact that modern science, as it one by one discovers the hidden mysteries of the human intellect, is daily piling up proofs already sufficient to prove that every one of the teachings of Christ is not only ethically, but is scientifically correct. Even Ingersoll admitted the human virtues of Jesus and acknowledged his obligations for the great blessings they had brought upon mankind. It remained for.this fellow Foster to assert that they have been harmful. It would seem that the reputation of the University of Chicago of having brought together the foolest bunch of professors ever collected in one aggregation is about finished. . Death of Wm/Dewart "William Dewart, one of the old residents of this community, who resided for m,any years in the vicinity of Dewart lake, south of town, after a lingering illness of heart disease and dropsy, died last Monday, April 5, and was buried at Salem grave yard on Wednesday. Rev. Orange Richart 'preached the funeral sermotf. ~ -*-Mr. Dewart was bom in Cumberland county, Pa.„ June 4, 1836, and was therefore nearly 73 years old at the time of’his death. He was brought to Indiana in his childhood. In 1863 he was married to Caroline Sharp, daughter of the late David Sharp, who resided ngar lake Wawasee. Three daughters and sons were born to them, all of which survive. Mr. Dewart was for many years a familiar figure here. Peace to him. j

. Church Matters. Rev. Weaver has been returned to this charge for the coming conference year, much to the gratification of the members of the local church here, who asked for his reappointment. This will in all probability mean the enlargement of the M. E church in Syracuse as plans to that end have been definitely decided upon by the large congregation. Divine services at Grace Ev. Lutheran church next Lord’s day at 10:45 a. m. Sunday School at 9:30 a. in. All are welcome. Sunday at Trinity Evangelical Church: Sunday School at 9:30 a. m. Morning worsliip at 10:45, subject of sermon, “An Easter Lesson.” Y. P. A. at 6:15 p. m. Preaching at 7:00, subject, “Christ’s Sufferings.” A week from Sunday the new pastor, Rev. C. A. Wright who has been serving Southside Chapel in Elkhart, will begin his work here and preach both morning and evening. Rev. Wright is an able pastor and will prove a most worthy successor to C. F. Boyer, who goes to Grace Mission, Indianapolis. At the U. B. Church next Sun-, day bible school at 10 a. m. Young people’s meeting at 6 and Easter sermon at 7 p. m. At the Concord church, sermon at 9:30 and Sunday school at 10:30 a. in. Next Sunday will be Easter Sunday, and special services will be held at all the churches, and special music is promised, It has often been asked why an egg is the symbol .of Easter. The use of eggs for Eas ter can be traced to the theology and philosophy of Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Romans among all of whom an egg was a symbol of the universe, the work of the Supreme Divinity. . The Persians gave presents of eggs at the feast of the vernal equinox—in honor of the renewal of all things. The Jews adopted it to meet the circumstances of their history as a type of their departure from Egypt, and it was used in the feast of the passover as a part of the furnishing of the table with the Paschal lamb. The early Druids also used the egg in their ceremonies. j ■ School Notes. Eugene Hoopingarner is sick Cadda and Milo Klingaman visited the school last Friday. Ruth Wolfe is ill witha severe cold.

He was never married and cared but little for the opposite sex. Thomas Pinkerton and Wesley Charlton, neighbors, went to his house Saturday morning to do the chores and look after the old man, as had been their custom .for weeks, or during the time he was not able to be up and around, and when they entered he was found Tying dead.—Milford Mail.
