Napoleon 111 surrendered at Sedan the nations of Europe, armed to the teeth, have stood ready to nrap each other'; throats. Immense utandliiK armies have been maintained, while navies have been Increased at an enormous cost. Time and time again hae the cables of diplomacy been perilously strained, threatening to plumie all Eu rope Into the Hhyrs of war. During all this period envious ejes have lusted upon the rich but helples-s empire of the east, and lapaclous hands have poURht to despoil the totterliiK dy nasty before it shall have Riven up the Chost. The dismemberment of China has, hi fart, already bettan. The French are in Tonqulu, the Japanese in Korea, the llusslans In Port Ai thur, the HritlHh in Hour Koiir. while Germany, somewhat laRRard, Is just eecurinp Its foothold. Itrallzlnjr that the east is to be the theater of the future, the European powers, by con quest and diplomacy, have sought that partial dominion which Is bin the be ginning of greater acquisition". Thus it has been In Europe. Sudden ly u new comer liiwc appeared In the east. The greatest republic in the world, a peaue-lovltiR. umiKRiesslve na tion, with a standing army no larger than a constabulary force, and with eeurcely ships enough to bo counted a navy, has, in a few hours, secured more territory in the Orient than that posHfixsod by any other foreign power, the French alone excepted. Without desiring conquest, the fo. tunes of war liae placed In the possession of the tinted States ti vast archipelago, num bering I.JOa Islands, and greater in Its iivu than the whole of Spain. Eng land, with all her planning: Germany, with all her rapacity: lltMsla. with nil her necessities spurring on to con questnot one of these has bem able to sei ure, much less hold, so large a territory. What oilier nations have failed to accomplish through years of preparation and t-clunilng the I'nltetl States has achieved in a few brief momentous hours. With the Stars and Stripes floating in or C'avlto arsenal, the sun never sits upon our Hag. Timorou- minds are , disposed to shrink at the enlargement of the t'nltrd States. Km phc is not a dream to them, but a nightmare. Thlr tear Is not a new thing in our history If Timothy Pickering could have pievalled, Louisiana would never hev' lift ii purchased.

It is a new and Inspir ing figure outlined against the horizon. Shall it remain? The constant tendency of the world has been toward the west. From Phoenicia to Constantinople, and then in stately march to Venice, Holland, and Ensland, the center of commerce has swept onward. Some of these days there will rise up In the west a new and commanding mart of trade, while London, following inexorable destiny, will sink and decay. It Is a mysteri ous law which turns the minds of men to the west, which Inspired Columbus and the Pilgrims, and pushed the out posts of civilization across a trackless continent, nearer and nearer the set ting sun. Even now the time has come when we stand on the shores of the Pacific and look still further to the w est to the west which, in turn, bo comes the east. Hawaii and the Phil ippine beckon and allure.

Nay, Anglo Saxon, Anglo-American civilization. The blood of Hnglnnd Is in our veins, the glory of her empire Is our glory. Her history has been our history from the time our forefathers in ancient Hiltaln repulsed the legltms of Cncfcnr. Even now, though we have long Rlnce severed the ties of mutual government, It In mainly English blood with us, though flowing In different veins. The. men who wrested the Magna Charta from King John nnd who Haunted the Declaration of Independence In the face of King George, were of the sanio race. John Hampden had his counter part In Thomas jelferson, Cromwell In Abraham Lincoln, Nelson in Farragut, Wellington In Grant. We admire and respect each other. American sailors, drifting to cei tain destruction in the Samoan harbor, cheer their Hrltlsh cousins making safely out to the open sea, tu the teeth of the gale. English sailors, meeting our blockading fleet outside of Havana, cheer Dewey and his gallani men when they hear of the American victory at Manila. Nor Is this friendliness confined to mere sentiment. No one will ever know until the Inside hlstorv of the present war Is written how much we one to the sturdy support of the Hrlt lsh nmbassador In Washington, Sir Julian PauiK efote. When the repre sentatives of the powers In Washing ton had combined to submit a threat ening protest against our proposed In terference wllh Spain's mlsgovernment In Cuba, It was England who raised the hand of opposition anil refused to countenance the hostile scheme. When Austria was bltteily hostile and France was scornful, when Germany sought to threaten nnd Kusslu strangely sulked. Great Hrltaln, with kindly sympathy and courageous tact, stood between us and the powers and nulli fied the whole proceedings by refusing to become a party to It. Instead of angry and menacing protest, therefore, a note of spilngtlme mildness was pre sented, and the president was rescued from an embarrassing position. Much mure, also, has England done. It has been less than a week since the Hrltlsh cabinet emphatically and unan imously etoed a proposition which emanated from three of the powers, demanding that the Tutted Stiltes should eonllne Its military and naval operations to the Island of Culm. For a Willie we were on the verge of either having to ignomlnously withdraw from the Philippines or else light the whole of Europe, Once more the strong arm of England was Interposed, and tho discomforted powers were foiled In their hostile purpose. The Fulled States In about to take Its rightful nositlon among the powers of the earth. Whether wo will or not, the lime hns come for us to burst our swaddling clothes. Thank God, we will! The ciiciitmitnnoos of war have opened for un a wider horizon and Imposed upon us new and graver responsibil ities. We will llll the one and accept the other. The expanding acorn will split the rock, it needed but the vic tory at Manila to alfoni a new gener ation a glimpse of larger boundaries and the thrill of higher aspirations. :seu -reliant ttmugli we may In- 111 en tering upon these greater Hold. It Is nevertheless true that the abandon ment of our insular policy will exc. ti the Jealousy of other nations, Ger many, after seizing every atoll In the Pacific and extending her commerce wherever an opening can be found, will not regard with complacency the Inroads of her American rival In the east. France, with Latin elannlshness, already regiml Spain as a martyr and lesents the intrusion of the American navy at Manila. Itussla throws tra ditional friendship to tho winds when rivalry begins. All these antagonisms we must expect to meet If we ale to Increase and expand A vlgoroun ef fort to extend our trade will .excite enmity, hut vigor with oppression is better than peaceful enervation and decay. England alone is friendly. Ties of blood, of kindled, of common purpose, nnd characteristic, lead to an Anglo American ulllancc. Against such a combination tho rest of the world would be powerless. Of the European na tions. Spain i no longer a factor; Aus tria and Italy are almost equally im potent ; France and Germany nie at enmity: and Itussin could not tliul in one or nil of the.se an allv of suflielent strength to warrant aggressive action. England and the I'nlted States to gether could dominate tho earth In commerce and In mllltnry and naval power. More than all, under the Stnrs and Stripes nnd the t'nlon Jack icllg ioua and political liberty would blos om In desert places and gladden the weary hearts of oppressed mankind.

Mary Magdalene, having found the tomb empty, hastened away and untitled Peter anil John that the body of Jesus had boon stolen (Luke xx, )1". Wlille she was absent tho other wo men (Luke xxlv. 10), remained and learned from an angel that Jesus had risen (verses fi and 7). Half terrified by the scenes In that early hour of tho morn ing, yet Joyful because of this Intelli gence, the women lied fiom the place (verse M. It Is the natural prompting of every human heart to publish good news, hence they sought the city to Inform the disciples of what they ' had heard. While these women were on their way to Jeru salem Peter and John nnd Mary Mag dalene were returning to the senuleher, and the latter was permitted to obtain the first view of her risen Lord (Job xx, 1M. It was shortly after that first ap pearance that Jesus met the nthr"1 wo men (verse fn and greeted them famil iarly with "All hall," that Is, "Ilejolco ye." To them He allowed what He de nied to Magdalene, for they held Him by the feet and worshipped lllm, a high honor indeed, at that particular time the' reason fur which can only be con jectured. DIUEt'TEn. Oentlv tho Lord spoke to the women, bidding them not to be atralil, and Instructed them go to the brethren and say that they might mei t HI in In Galilee verse 101 ns He had pre viously promised (Matt. xxvl. !!3). Hy Ibis He did not mean that there should be other meetings, for on several occas ions timing the days following they were with lllm In Jerusalem and In Its vicin ity (Luke xxlv. .11). Hut lie intended, doubtless, to comfort them with the memories of their own homes which would be restored to them (John xxl, 1). It is worthy of special not that while Jesus gave these directions to this group ol" wonn n lie had a little before dliecied Mary Magdalene to bear to the brethren tiding of Hii ascension (John xx, IP. an event 1 1 tii t was forty days distant lArts I let i.

Glint Hrltaln, Japan, nnd the Fnitecl States. This is the ideal alliance of tin- tuture. It means n compact repub lic, supported on either side. With Great Hritaln controlling the Medllci r.inean Sen and the Suez Canal: with the Fnited Slates keeping guard over the Gulf of Mexico and the- Nicaragua Canal, which must mnn be built, and having Hawaii for iis outpost, and with Japan polioolng thePhlllppinesand guiding the destinies of the easl, the highways of 'coninieicc- would be thick with the smoke and white with the sails of laden ships. To England, across the Atlantic, would go our hi'-adstuffs: In the Orient, beyond the Pat-ltlcs, our wheal and cotton would tind a widening market. War would become a tiling of the past abandoned because of its futility. A dream of empire? Perhaps. Hut It Is the dream of far-seeing and thr'.'rr'-.iful men In Washington today, and s.yar.ger dreams have become real ities. The movement now Is onward. For its consummation days, months, and years are but mere moments of time. We can afford to wait. Twenty live years ago such an alliance was far more Impossible than it is today.

The very men who had caused Christ to bo put to death, who had sought after His death to prevent any Imposi tion (Matt, xxvll, tkl), hoping to stamp out this miserable heresy, were confront ed by stubborn facts, announced by men who could have no motive for falsehood. It was necessary to silence these wit nesses. One fact alone must be account ed for. the absence of the body, all else may be passed over In silence.

Then He was missing for a season, and the eleven lemembeiing His words, re tired to Galileo and sought the moun tains, which before His crucifixion. He had appointed as the place of leunlon (verso Hi). The site of that mountain is wholly unknown, although some have conjectured that It wos the place where the sermon was dellvued (Matt, v: 1).

He Introduced modern meth ods of construction and built a first class railroad. Now the government has turned over to him the acres prom ised, making 2o0 square miles, nnd has given him franchises for all electric railways, coal mines, copper mines, petroleum deposits, the government, dry dock and the privilege of erecting pulp mills and starting other Indus tries under the benefit of a protective tariff. All he snnid for this was $!. 000,000, half of which Is to bo returned in subsidies. The bill was rushed through the leg islature with only one dlsentlng voice, and no debate was allowed. The value of his gift Is worth easily $20,000,000. Many privileges not mentioned aro possessed by him.
