RELIGIOUS.
"Tim Homnnce of a nine" might very
propery designate, the reading of nn
Interesting chapter In tho written hli
tory of the Prcshyterlan general iib
Bcmbly In Bosslon for eleven dnys In
one of tho most beautiful cities oi oui'
northwest, Minneapolis, The second
Thursday of the ntiseinuly wai a Held
day for foreign missions. nc I.i
Harris, of Indiana, read tho annual
report of foreign missions, which,
nboundlng aH It did, with suggestive
nnd encouraging figures, dates, pa
thetic Incidents of anxieties, werlflces
nnd nchlevementH verily thrilled not
only the 633 commissions, but a
thousand people besides win vcra pre
bnl and who crowded all available
ppacc In the large auditorium of West
minster church.
Tho report was followed by an elo
quent and stlrrlns speech by the secre
tary of tho board, Itev. Dr. Arthur
Brown, of New York. He revealed
the fact that thirty choice young men,
nnd women had been commissioned by
tho board for foreign Holds, but had
been waiting ere they could be sent
to work, for the funds with which to
maintain them. Could not this assem
bly provide tho money with which ono
of the young men could be sent at onco
to India? It appeals that such nn ap
peal of words, of opportunity, of need,
could "ot be resisted. Indeed, was It
not tho unmistakable voice, not only
of a providential circumstance, but of
n providential emergency? A willing
offering toward a fund with which
to send to Japan itev. Mr. Harris, of
the last class of Princeton Theological
seminary, was taken.
And now comes the romanee. In the
congregation was n, young lady of u re
fined New England family and educat
ed In the east, us the collection plato
came, near she whispered to a friend
next: "I have no money to give, I
must give something," nnd with those
words she removed a plain gold ring,
thfl only one she wore, nnd quietly, un
ostentatiously, laid it on the Master's
plate for His use.
The ring nttracted no little attention
nnd was made the center of a dramatic
scene on the following day, when an
address was mndo In which the speak
er said: "Tills is worth more than
the J23 at which It 18 appraised. Will
not the people present redeem It for
Its real value. The ministerial nnd
lay commissioners one after another
advanced to the altar and heaped upon
tho moderator's table their gold and
silver and bank notes to the amount
of $375. This offering added to the
former sum, mnde nearly $900, The
whole amount was by no means fabu
lous, It was by no means large enough
to boast of. The gift of $900 by the
assembly was hardly us much as
the gift of tho ring by the young lady
missionary, but as a "Homnnce of a
King" It altogether breathes a sweet
and refining and gladsome fragrance
and surely Is worthy of a place In the
voluminous records of Christian sacri
fice and giving entitled "She hath done
what sho could."
All who attended tho K. of P. Mem
orial service at tho opera house Sun
day nfternoon were delighted with the
excellent sermon of tho llev. E. It.
Lewis, pastor of the Congregational
church. It was an Ideal Pythian dis
course, showing thought and research.
Ho brought out and made clear many
facts of tho Pythagorean period that
were not fully understood by the K. of
P. here. Mr. Lewis Is a clear thinker
and a logical reasoner. His many
social qualities have endeared him to
the people of Shawnee. The Shawnee
Journal, Juno 2, 1S99. Mr. Lewis was
formerly a resident of this city and
resided at 1227 Academy street.

BY J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.'
CONTEXT. The death of Jesus was
attended by startling phenomena. Tho
veil of tho tcmnlo was rent In twain,
the earth quaked, (Matt: xxvll:51) and
darkness covered tho land. (Luke xxill:
41.) When the dentil was olllclally cer
tlffed, Joseph ot Arlmuthea, a secret
disciple of Jesus, (John xlx:3S) having
obtained iPllate'spermlsslonand secured
tho assistance of NIcodemus, removed
tho body from tho cross, embalmed It,
and laid It away In a now tomb. To
prevent fraud, ob they claimed, the
chief priests and Pharisees caused the
stone at the mouth of the sepulchre to
be sealed, and a strong guard of Roman
soldiers was stationed there. Night
enmo on nnd Jesus rested In tho house
of the dead. Very early Sunday morn
ing certain women went to the sepul
chre to embalm the body, but It wns
gone. One of them, Mary Magdalene,
hastened to Inform Peter nnd John, who
came and quickly withdrew. After their
departure Mary returned, and our les
son recites what followed.
APPEARANCE. The sepulchre of
tho East was not unlike the vault to
bo found In the modern cemetery,
It had an Inner apartment where the
dead wns deposited and an outer vesti
bule where one might stand or sit at
pleasure. For a time Mary remained
alone In this vestibule weeping, her
sorrow occasioned partly by the Lord's
death, but Increased by the fact that
His body had been taken away. (V. 11.)
Stopping down to peer through the
narrow passage way, her loving heart
yet hoping that tho mystery might be
disclosed, sho saw two angels, who
were stationed at the head and feet,
where the body of Jesus had been. (v.
12.) This appenranco, strange as It may
seem to us, was In full harmony with
the entire earthly career of the Saviour,
which was marked on mnny occasions
(Luke 1:2S), by tho visitations of beings
from tho heavenly world. (Matt. 1:21.)
The Interest of angels In Him and In
His mission was publicly announced.
(Matt. xvl;27.) ,
INTERVIEW. The two bright ones
from tho realms of glory had not come
merely as sentinels In the empty se
pulchre, by their presence to mark tho
spot where the body of Jesus h'ad lain,
although such a service would have
been worthy of them. But they were
there to advise nnd comfort. Invisible
w hen Peter and John visited the spot,
(John xx:7) they nppeared when a wo
man came in sorrow. "Why weopest
thou?" they inquired, employing hu
man language to reach a troubled
heart. (V. 13.) The emphasis should
be laid on the first word of this ques
tion. There wns no occasion for weep
ing. Rejoicing would be more appro
priate. How often in this life do men
see one side of an event only, and that
the dark and forbidding side! Mary's
answer told tho whole story In few
words. The body of Jesus had been re
moved and she did not know where.
She knew nothing of a resurrection,
and could only suppose that the sacred
lemains of the one she loved had been
stolen. The bare thought, after tho
tragic scenes of the crucifixion, was
enough to fill a woman's heart with
agony.
RECOONITION.Whilo thus ac
counting for her tears Mary became
conscious of another Presence. Turn
ing backward she saw a person stand
ing near. It was Jesus, but not as she
had known Him. (V. 11.) After His
resurrection He had the power to ap

pear nnd disappear at pleasure, but In
a form so different as not to bo known.
(Luke xxlv:30-31.) Jesus put to Mary
the same questlcm nsked by tho angels
and added, "Whom scckest thou?"
Thinking that he wns tho gardener,
and hoping that he might explain the
secret of the empty nnd angel-haunted
grave, sho replied with a tender ap
peal, "If you took Him away, tell me
where Ho Is and I will take Him."
(v. 15.) There Is in these words such
an outburst of affectionate solicitude
as one rarely discovers, a most ad
mirable exhibition of a woman's heart.
One word only was spoken by Jesus,
the woman's name, "Mary;" (v.lG.)
Something In the tone of His voice
possibly, or something In His manner,
now slightly changed and made like to
the old habit, caused Mary to recognize
Jesus, and she exclaimed, "Rabonl,"
that is Master.
INSTRUCTION. In an instant Mary
was transferred from tho profoundest
grief to tho most exalted Joy. Twlc
had she lost the Christ onco In the
crucifixion, once In tho disappearance
of His body from the tomb. Now that
He stood before her sho desired to
throw herself at His feet, to seize and
hold Him nnd enjoy His society, but
He restrained her. "Touch mo not,"
Ho said, assigning two reasons (v. 17).
He had not yet nscended to the Father,
the statement being a support to the
doctrine of the Intermediate state, as
held by some. (I Peter 111:19.) It is evi
dent that tho post-resurrection Inti
macy of Christ with His disciples was
intended to be on a higher plane than
that allowed before tho crucifixion.
(2 Cor. v:16.) Besides, Jesus desired
this woman to bo tho first evangel, Ho
would not havo her tarry to express
her affection for Him, but He directed
her to hasten to tho disciples, whom He
called brethren and declared to them,
that having broken tho bands of death,
He would ascend unto His Father. In
all this Jesus gave Mary instruction on
four Important doctrines which after
ward had large place In the church.
REPORT. Did Jesus Immediately
disappear after Instructing Mary? Wo
may reasonably suppose that Ho did,
for nothing could be gained by con
tinuing loncer with her. Shortlv after
He came to the othar women, who had
npproached the sepulchre with Mary
and had been separated from her, and
having allowed them a liberty before
denied, He gave them orders to report
to tho brethren (Matt, xxvlll, 9-10),
that He would meet them in Galilee, a.
promise made before His death (Matt,
xvl, 32), which the angels recalled
(Maik, xvl, 7). Thus two messages
were borne one by Mary alone, one by
tho other three women all of them an
nouncing the resurrection, one of them
proclaiming a meeting, the other an
ascension. Mary was true to the duty
laid upon her, nnd as she first received
instructions it is probable that she wns
first to arrive In Jerusalem v, 17),
honored In being permitted before any
other to bear the glad tidings that tho
dead was alive. The other women,
coming after, continued her words,
leaving no good ground for the disci
ples to doubt.
SALUTATION. All through that
flist day strange and contllctlng ru
mors floated about Jerusalem, causing
much excitement. The statements of
the women, repeated by the disciples,
seemed to most persons Incredible, be-
vice. In tho evening there will be
ec hoes from tho morning service, also
special music by the choir. Kdson
Howen. the tenor, will also sing; mil
orchestra In tho evening. Offering at
each service for Sabbath school work.

John. 3:31; evening studies In Daniel,
causo so contrary to tho expectations
of friends and foes. Besides, tho silly
story of tho soldiers, which they wcro
bribed to put forth, circulated even
before the messnge of tho women
(Matt, xxvlll, 11-15), gained currency
to servo its bad purpose. One thing,
however, was settled, and might bo
verified by all, the body wns missing.
What had become of It? In tho own
ing the disciples came together, prob
ably to discuss the situation, If possi
ble to arrive at tho truth and determine
their proper course of action. Sud
denly there came Into tho assembly
two who had returned from the vil
lage of Emmaus, declaring that Je3us
bad appeared to them (Luko xxlv, 13
35). They had scaicely finished their
recital, when the doors of the room
being shut, Jesus stood among them
(v, 19). This was His fourth manifes
tation. With great gentleness Ho
saluted the company, saying "Peace
be unto you," imparting what Ho be
fore had promised (John, xtv, 27).
GLADNESS. This evening visit of
Jesus to tho disciples In Jerusalem was
nn Important event. It Is evident that
up to that tlmo tho fact of tho resur
rection haOX scarcely been accepted.
The Journey to Emniaua Indicated a
disposition to scatter abroad, the hope
having died out of tho heart, and the
words ot the women having made but
little impression (Luke, xxlv, 21-24). If
His cause Is to bo rescued from de
feat and His chosen lenders shall bo
prepared for their mission, something
must be done quickly to confirm their
fnltli. Hence Jesus gathered tho as
tonished men about Him and showed
Ills hands nnd side. In which wcro tho
wounds made by tho nails and spear
(John, xlx, 31), furnishing the highest
possible evidence that the body before
them was not a mere spectre, but the
veritable body that hung on tho cross.
That exhibit ended all discussion. They
who were present wcro convinced that
their Master hnd returned to thorn. In
that hour faith In the resurrection be
came clear and strong In tho minds of
men competent to witness. Their sor
row pasted away (John, xvl, 32). Hope
revived, and gladness filled their
hearts (v, 20).
CONCLUSION. The lesson Is chief-
ly valuable in establishing the facta
of Christ's resurrection. The entire
recital boars on Its. face the simple and
honest purpose of the actors. Women,
who went to the grave to embalm a
dead body, showing that they had no
thought of a restoration to life, were
the first to testify, as they were least
likely to publish a falsehood. Men.
who are generally inclined to ques
tion tho supernatural, having heard the
words of the women, were reluctant to
believe until they saw the form of
Jesus, bearing the marks of death and
tho company that saw was too large
to admit the theory of a delusion or
a conspiracy for fraud. All this oc
curred In less than twenty-four hours,
while there wcro abundant facilities for
determining tho truthfulness, of anv
matter. A band of terrified and bewil
dered Galileans, assembled in tho city
where their Master was condemned,
was transformed In a single evening
Into a joyous company of belle.vers,
who, while for a time they lacked pur
pose, vet eventually became earnest
heralds to their fellowmen, declaring
oven unto death, that Jesus rose from
the grave (Acts Iv, 10).

DOUBTS AS TO THE DATE.
Difference of Opinion as to When
Ohio Became a State.
rrom tnr, Cincinnati Bmiulrer.
There Is somo doubt as to tho exact
dnto upon which Ohio became, a state.
Ohio was a separato "territory," being
n part of the northwest territory. In
1S01 the pooplo living In the portion of
tho northwest now embraced In tha
state of Ohio called a convention to
frame a state constitution for tho die
trlct which hail set up a claim to state
hood tindor tho tilth article ot the or
dinance of 1787. That convention met
In Chlllicotho on Nov. 1, 1S02, and on

EXACT COPr OF-WRAEPEB.
Nov. 29 completed its work. The con
stitution thus framed was not submit
ted to the people, but was declared rati
fied by the convention It self.
On Feb. 17. 1S03, the United Sta-s
congress passed an act admitting Ohio
Into tho union as a state, said act In
coming operative upon the assembling
of tho first state legislature at Chilli
cotlio at 10 a. in. Tuesday, March 1,
1S03, nnd both houses Immediately or
ganized. Thus there are three dates about
which opinions may differ as to tho
exact Initial period of Ohio statehood.
They are Nov. 29, 1S02, when tho con
stitution was perfected and ratified;
Feb. 17, 1S03, when congress passed tho
act admitting Ohio, and March 1. 1S03,
when the legislature assembled and or
ganized. The latter date appears to
have the greatest claim. In view ot tho
langungc of tho act of congress and
the organization of tho legislature. The
two houses of the legislature met In
joint session at 11 a. in., March 3, 1S03,
to open and declare the result of the
ballot for governor. Edward Tlllln
was declared elected, receiving 4,oCl
votes. There were no ballots cast
against him. At 1 o'clock p. m. tho
same day Governor Tlflln was sworn
In at a Joint session of the two houses
of the legislature by Judge Meigs.
