Getting typographical errors out of dictionaries is a task beside whicb that little Augean stable affair of Her cules was an aftemoon snap. When the Oxford edition of the Bible was published the proofs were read and reread ten tjmes. Then a reward of $250 was offered to any one who should flnd a typographical blunder. One was found in the first chapter of Genesis. Dictionary proofreading is even more difficult than Bible proof reading. i There is a tradition that a man who read proofs of the Lord's Prayer for that Oxford edition went insane out of fear lest he made a blunder in it.— * Philadelphia Ledger.

It is abun dant on the hills of Nazareth, and in the later winter the regions over which he walked glowed and radiated with entrancing color, while the air was fragrant with perfume. The Hebrew word for the flower is shushan, shoshan or shoshannah, and though there is little doubt the word denote 3 some plant of the lily species, it is by no means certain what class it speciaily designates. In the Holy Land there are lilies that hold the purpling blue of eastern skies; that glow with the blood-red fire of the desert's dusty sunset; that have the pure white of spiritual appeal and the grace in curve and line that touch the senses like a strain of exquisite music. As we of the West know the lily, the more cultivated species are the wh:te or Madonna lily, the tiger or tiger-spotted lily, and the golden lily. A white lily in art and heraldry sym bolizes purity, and in the pictures of the Annunciation is often placed in the hands of the Angel Gabriel. "Lilies choir the golden way to Paradise," says a medieval writer; which, in the values of the present, is given in the appreciation of a Canadian woman on first beholding the soul-stirring bloom of a Bermuda field —"This is simply heavenly!" It is very probable that the term lily as used in the Holy Land was generai, not referring to any particular spe cies, butto a large class of flowers growing in Palestine, and resembling the lily, as the tulip, iris, gladiolus and the like. Thompson, for instance, in his "Land of the Book," describes a magnificent iris, which, he calls the Hulch lìly, a view of which gives sa lient point to the passage: "Solomon in ali his glory was not arrayed like one of these." "This Huleh lily," says the writer, "is very large, and three of the inner petals meet above and form a gor geous canopy such as art never ap proached and the king never sat under even in his utmost glory. When I met this incomparable flower in ali ita loveliness, among the oak woods around the north base of Tabor and on the hills of Nazareth where our Lord spent his youth, I felt assured that it was to this he referred." That the lily must have been a con spicuous plant along the shores of the Lake of Gennesaret is indicated in Matthew, 6:28: "consider the lilies of the field, how they grow," and Luke 12:27, which bears the same admoni tion. It fiourished in the broad, deep valleys of Palestine. The Song of Songs tells: "I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley," and also among the thorny shrubs, for the same book has it, "As the lily among the thorns. so is mv love among tlie daughters;" and among the pastures of the desert, as is shown by this pas sage from the inspiration of Solomon: "My beloved is mine, and I am his; he feedeth among the lilies." In many other passages of the Bible the flower is mentioned. And that the lily must have been remarkable for its rapid and luxuriaut growth is evidenced in Hosea 14:5, "I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall grow as the lily and cast forth his roots as Lebanon." And that the flower was briliiant in color is indi cated in Matthew, where it has fa miliar comparison with the gorgeous robes of Solomon. And that the col ors of the rovai investiture were pur pie and scarlet is also implied in the Songs of Songs. There were many species of lila ceous blossoms in Palestine, some ex ceedingly gorgeous in color and some exceèdingly fragrant. It is Dr. Isaac Hall who noted the late winter carpet ing of Christ's way by this widespread color and entrancing fragraace. "Most conspicuous. pernaps, are the great red and blue flowers of the order Rauunculaceae, where the anemone and the ranunculus grow together." says he. "They are not small things, like our buttercups, but great wide flowers of two inches or more in di ameter, carpeting the ground with patches as gorgeous as masses of our briliiant verbenas. They grow every where: and, like the other herbs, are glorious one day and the next day literally cast into the oven to bake the peasant's bread." SACRIFICE MUST PRECEDE SOUL'S ' EASTER TRIUiPH H. C. TOLLMAN, D. D., LL. D. A DIVINE Fatner near to each human soul, acting in arni through the events of daily iife, and a risen Christ reveal lng God's nature to us through our personal communion with him! This ls the Easter triumph. Modera Christian criticism may dis cuss, as it is now doing, the historical ind quasi-physiological problems as to whether the risen Christ had a "ma terial body spiritualized'' or a "spirit ual body materialized," whether his actual flesh and blood carne forth Erom the grave, as the Gospel narra tive most distinctly gives usto under stand, or whether he bore that celes tial and incorruptible body which St. Paul declares is the body of the res urrection. Yet we need have no fear that the conclusion —if one be ever reached in the future —will affect that vital truth on which our Christian faith has been grounded for nineteen centuries. The lesson of the Resurrection is purely a personal and individuai one. We do well to ask ourselves sobarly and seriously what that lesson is. Like ali divine truths, it is wondrous ly simple, yet deeply significant and full of transcendent responsibility. It means nothing less than such life union with Christ as to effect in us a participation in his immortai and di vine character —assuredly no easy process, but the struggle and achieve ment of a life in Constant touch and fellowship with him. The lesson of Easter plainly tells UB that we must die to our selfish selves, to our littleness, narrowness, pride and hate, and rise to the eternai life of service. No Easter triumph can come to any soul without first a Golgotha of indi viduai sacrifice and self-renunciation. Heaven is no flt place or condition for a man who knows not what service ìs. The risen Christ reveais the tality of love realized in the soul of man, a conception briefly summarized by our Lord in the seeming paradox, "He that saveth his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life, the same shall save it." The risen Christ reveais the immor tality of truth. The self-opinionated whose prejudices and preconceptions shut out honest inquiry cannot com mune with a God of truth. The rev elation of Christ was the revelation of truth, and Intellectual integrity is the liberty of every son of God: "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." The risen Christ reveais the im mortality of service. The divine ac tivity is continually self-giving. God ls forever showing the divineness of service. This is the life of God and It is a uniform, inflexible and eternai law that we must enter into such a life before we can approach the infi nite ideal of humanity which reveais God. The flowers and starry heavens sing together because there is between them the afflnity of showing God's beauty. But between a selfish soul and God there can be no communion. The risen Christ reveais what was centrai in the mind of God from eter iity. This darling thought in divine evolution was the perfect humanity revealed in the Son of Man. We cali Christ our Lord, our King, our Mas ter and our God, and justly so, but the dearest title to him and the one often est upon his lips is that of the Son of Man, because it shows what man can be in him and through him. To that humanity we link our hopes of immortality, and we are confident they will not disappoint us. The lesson of Easter is simply this, that we live the immortai life here, the life of love, sacrifice, truth, beauty and hope as revealed jn Christ; that we enter into such individuai fellow fbip with our Lord ss to enabje ns to realize in him the life of God, for he has said: "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father"; that we ap propriate his divine life expresscd in the joy of self-denial, though it leads usto Calvary.
