I s " I Four Great Facts • By REV. PARLEY E. ZARTMANN. D.D.. Secretary of Exteuion Department. Moody Bible Institute. Chicago TEXT—But now Is Christ risen from the dead. I. Cor. 15:20.

The blustering winds of March remind one of the phenomena of spring; the trees bursting into bud and leaf and bloom; the lawns putting on their ! coats of green; , the birds rejoio- • ing in the triumph of the sun; | the warmth of ' a new lite pul- ! sating in nature; spring is a tact. These natural i

pheriomenr lead one’s mind up to I that more profound event the day on which we will sing our al-1 - lelulias, for our Christ Is risen from the dead. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” And as I sit and think of the glorious heritage to which the church has attained by the resurrection of the Christ, four I great facts impress themselves upon | me. Let us meditate on them. I. (He is risen. “Vain the stone, the , watch, the seal.” What a jubilant ; shout was that as the once terrified ! disciples now greeted each other, “He : is risen.” Put to flight, is qyery fear | rekindled is their hope for the gospel, 1 and henceforth they go forth in the ■ animation of this fact preaching the I power of his resurrection. That Christ ■ is risen is a monumental fact, it is the foundation of all Christianity. No, let me rather say that it is the keystone of Christianity; for without it the beautiful arch would go to pieces and the entire fabric would be in irretrievable ruin. What an awful condition we are in, if Christ be not risen; (l Cor. 15:14-19). Life is fruitless, faith is rootless, hope is wretchedness, sin is without atonement, night without promise of day, death without assurance of resurrection, earth without promise of heaven, humanity without redemption, no Savior, no Lord, no King, no life eternal; nothing but waste and woe and wretchedness. What a dismal picture! But, blessed be God, Christ is risen from the dead, and that fact changes everything, drives away the darkness and gives promise and guarantee of eternal day and eternal joy. 11. He lives. “Lives again our glorlous King.” The angels said to those early seekers at the tomb: “Why ' seek ye the living among the dead;. ' fee is not here.” No dead Christ for j us; no speculative basis for our creed I and nor dead principle for our life, but ’ u risen and a living Christ, a Christ alive forevermore, a living God who has promised to be with us even unto i the end. Oh, what a joy to have the Easter life pulsing in us! What inspiration to know his promise is true, “Because I live ye shall live also.” HI. He reigns. Once he was holden of death (and the powers of darkness were jubilant over destruction of Jesus), but it was only that his ■triumph might be more glorious and complete, and that he might make us heirs of his glory. And now he is victor and conqueror and king. He has led captivity captive. Jesus reigns. He is now king—oh, may he soon be king of kings. He is in our hearts the only Potentate. Is this Easter Christ your lord and king? Give him the throne of your heart, the service of your life, that you may have the victory over yourself and may know the fullness of joy of the life ruled by Jesus. “Bring forth the royal diadem, and- crown hjm Lord of all.” IV. He intercedes. What a climax in all the precious truths of this Eas ter time! Our risen, living, reigning Lord “ever liveth to make intercession for us.” We were without strength, we were ungodly, aliens from God and enemies of his kingdom; and until Jesus went to ths right hand of the father as our advocate we had closed to ourselves the way of approach to forgiveness and blessing and peace. But Jesus Christ Is “able to save for evermore them that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Therefore, we can rejoicingly shout that nothing shall be able to separate us from the love of God as It is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Note the rest of that intercessory prayer, “Father I will that they also whom thou hast given, me may be with me where I am.” Could infinite love do more than this? and can I do , Jess than accept this wonderful gift ■of God’s grace to be with him. “Far from a world of grief and sin. With God eternally shut in.” And this makes Easter in the soul and crowns the life with Easter flowers and fills the world with Easter perfumes. Tremendous thought—Jesus ever liveth to make intercession for us. Hence, for me the seal is broken, 1 am risen from the dreadful and rayless sepulcher of my old self, I live the life of Jesus Christ. My friend, let this Easter day pour Into your soul all the wealth and power of these four great facts Jesus Is risen, Jesus lives, Jesus reigns, Jesus intercedes. What defense here against the prince of this world; what basis for unwavering faith; what vista of unclouded hope; what mighty Incentive for a constantly growing love; yea, what protection against the very gates of hell, and what precious promise for glory and honor and immortality. These are the facts. Who can be weak, or wavering, or fiespendent, or selfish? My brother, your Christ is not here; he is risen. Turn the glance of your faith toward him who this day rose from the dead and brought life and immortality to light through the goswal

OLD DAYS j Joseph Cisler Was One of Michigan’s First Settiers. -. . —- ’ - Pioneer Was Related to Gen. Winfield Scott and Told of Incidents Not Recorded in History A Detroit, Mich.—By the death of Jo- , seph Cisler at his home south of Middleville, the last link connecting Barry county” of the present day with the very first settlers of the early days has been severed, writes a Hastings (Mich.) correspondent. Joseph Cisler. who resided in Monroe when the common topics of conversation were the battles in that vl- , cinity during the war of 1812; who ' knew intimately the historic-chiefs of i ■the Ottawa nation; who was a companion of Albert E. Bull, a noted trader of three counties; who received an academic education, and who was at one time one of the most widely known men in Barry county, died in obscurity. Cisler was a genuine product of the early days He conversed about the early days and prominent personages of those times as though they were present. Cisler was bora in Lycoming county. Nev. York, Feb. T. 1826. His mother was Rachel Scott, cousin of Gen. Wini field Scott, noted leader in three wars. ■ In making the journey to Buffalo Cisler‘s mother carried him upon her back as she traveled afoot. His parents settled at Sandy Creek, near Monroe, in IR3O. Everywhere were the ruins of houses burned by the Indians I and British, but new houses were being erected among the ruins. As a boy Cisler was intensely Interested in local history and spent much of his time digging for relics among the ruins. At Knagg’s tavern, about eight miles from Monroe, the Cislers were acquainted with a Frenchman who I sympathized with the Americans dur- | ing the war, and he related an Incident of unusual Interest and one which is not recorded in Michigan history. The British offered rewards for the scalps of Americans, and savages lay In ambush near all of the settlements, waiting to pick off any one who appeared. The government offered a reward for carrying the mail through the enemy’s lines and the Frenchman and two other men started ,on horseback to deliver the mails. They had gone only a few miles when they found a fire on the trail. Apprehending at once why the fire had been placed there, the Frenchman shouted to his companions, “Follow me!” and dashed through the flames. His companions. unheeding his command, went round the fire. Two rifles were fired, and the men were never again seen. The vicinity of Monroe was rapidly settled, and Houston Cisler, loading his goods , into an ox cart, made his way along the wilderness trail lea<iIng to Gull Prairie in 1836. They left Bronson, now Kalamazoo, and followed the old road to Yankee Springs, the famous hostelry on the Grand Rapids stage road. The Cislers located on Bull’s Prairie, in Irving township. Here young Cisler led the life of all pioneer children. He entered the employ of Albert E. Bull of Massachusetts, who conducted stores at White Pigeon. Bronson and Prairie Ronde. or Schoolcraft. Cisler made the acquaintance of all of the pioneers of this section, and mingled with the Indians, whom he knew intimately. During the Black Hawk war the Cislers did not join the throngs of frightened settlers who returned east. They had no fear of the Indians, whom they often doctored when they were ill. Grand Rapids, Gulf Prairie and othei* places were known only by their Indian names. Chicago was one of the important trading points for the settlers in this vicinity. Mr. Cisler prospered. He owned large tracts of land, and was one of

New York. —Mourned as a suicide, John McGowan, who leaped from an East river ferry boat, turned up at his tenement here while his young wife, with her baby, was searcning the river front for his body.

But all of his property dwindled to nothing and he spent his last days on i a small sand farm in Yankee Springs I ' township, across which ran the trail his long vanished red brethren traversed years ago. He was married five times. Until the last few months : he refused to leave his unprofitable I farm, where he resided alone, until one of his sons succeeded in persuad ! ing him to reside with him. The old man, sitting under a tree in his door- s yard, was a familiar figure during the last few years.

USE FIREMEN IN BIG RAIDS

— i j Higher Up Circles in New York Gambling Fraternity Are Upset by Ruse. New York.—Higher up circles of the gambling fraternity were upset by raids which were made simultaneously upon eigffit big alleged gambling establishments In the Fifth avenue and theatrical districts. Several features of the raids were spectacular and novel. For the first time in the history , of the police firemen were used to as- , sist in the’ raids. As the police in i . eight taxicab parties, under command ■ pf Inspector John F. Dwyer, swooped down upon the suspected places firemen gained entrance by either pretending to be inspecting the buildings or by shouting “Fire!” If successful , in getting in the police squads followed; if not, axes and crowbars forced entrance. But in all 6f the eight places there 1 was no one to arrest. In some mystei rious manner the alleged proprietors had all been “tipped off” and suave • butlers left in charge. The collection of gambling instruments and furnish- I ings, however, was one of the finest • the police ever laid hands on. The ! seven vanloads carted to station hous- . ■: es were valued at $25,000. Some of i ■ ! the “stuff” was from the place for- ! merly occupied by Richard A. Can-1 > field. Relics of his de luxe parlors, | including rare paintings and tapestries ■ [ and other art treasures, were found I ! i still to adorn the walls.

Re- 1 porters were waiting at his home to learn further of the suicide, when, during Mrs. McGowan’s absence in search of,the body, McGowan, a tall, muscular chap, walked in. “I simply couldn’t stand being without work any longer,” he said went on the ferry boat and watte' 1 f

TEACHERS HIRED FOR LIFE Swiss Pedagogues Receive Small Pay but Are Persons of Consequence, Says School Head. Thurgau.—“Nearly 90 per cent ol I the teachers in Switzerland are men,’ | says W. K. Tate, supervisor of rural ■ i schools in South Carolina. Mr. Tat« ; has just returned from a three . : months’ investigation in Switzerland i ■ under the auspices of the national bu i reau of education. “Five hundred dollars is considered ; a good salary for a teacher. After a ■ life-time of service he may go as higt SBOO. Living is cheaper there that here, however, and In addition to his ■ salary he is given a dwelling, a certain atnount of garden Jand and wood for fuel. His dwelling is generally in the same building with the school His position is of considerable local importance. Aside from his duties in the schoolroom, he is often secretary of the local creamery association, leader of the village band, organist in the church and general intellectual guide for the community. “When a teacher is engaged it 19 for life or a long term of years. He settles down with the people whose children he teaches, and expects to make that particular job his life worki Changes are rare. Twelve new teach- i ers in one year in a system of 240 : was considered very unusual. The 1 record for continued service in the ! same village is held by a teacher in : Thurgau, who has occupied the same position for sixty-flve years. One teacher that I visited has held his position for twenty-four years, and his father held the same position for thirty-five years. “One of the most attractive features of the Swiss schools is the cordial personal relation that exists between teacher and pupil. There is nothing of the military in the discipline of the school; no lining up; no marching to classes. When the children go to the classrooms they shake hands with the teacher, greeting him as if they had not seen him for a long time and are really glad to see him. The whole relation is one of charming naturalness and kindliness on both side*.” Hires a Hall for Family.

I Woman Is As Old As She Looks | No woman wants to look old. Many in their SSQEKSBI effort to look youthful resort to the “beauty doctor’s” prescriptions. Their mistake is that they visit the wrong department in the drug store.

Universal Hero. For America, at least, there is one universal hero. No one questions his greatness. None names him but to praise. Who is this universal hero? Is it Napoleon? Many . condemn J him, as Ingersoll did, as the “imperi al personification of force and murder.” No, it is not Napoleon. Washington, then? Wendell Phillips said: “But the great Virginian ; held slaves.” So, even Washington had his detractors. Lincoln? Perhaps later on; but not yet. Well, who is this universal hero of j America? John Hampden, of course. He ob- : jected to paying taxes. —Kansas City Times. Efficacious Spanking.
