under couditons like these, and of record
in foi m. ihe authenticity and genuineness
of which is unimpeachable, has had over
whelming weight in each generation, a«d
as widely as published.
The resurrection of Jesus is the con
fessed cornerstone of the Christian sys
tem. If He be not risen, k is built upon
a lie; faith is vain; apostles are false
witnesses; spiritual resurrection of the
soul from the deadness of sin is an illu
sion; the resurrection of the body a
mockery; those who died in the false
hope are annihilated.

j tion harvest.
There was nothing preternatural in the
personal appearance -of Jesus in the forty
days afler His resurrection^ His counte
nance was not like lightning nor His rai
ment white as snow. He was mistaken
for i .gardener, and later as a common
traveler. There was a sweet Ohumano-
n ss" in His words as well. He uttered
■Mary's name with a familiar accent. He
called the disciples "My brethren." He
appointed free-and-easy Galilee as the
place of rendezvous. Even the saluta
tion "All hail!" which in our version
seems so majestic, is really just the com
mon and happy greeting of friends.

As the government building was re

In the treasury department were ex
hibited money, bank notes, and postage
stamps, of all kinds and denominations.
I saw the steel plate on which the en
graving is done, and heard a man ex
plain the process by which the notes and
stamps are made. There I could look at
the money we now use, and the kind
which our grandfathers and great grand
fathers used in their financial transac
tions. They looked very innocent, these
bank notes, all fixed up In pretty fcames,
but I remembered that it was the love
of such as these that was "tlie re-'

We Mill need the double opening of the
Scriptures to our understanding, and of
our understand to the Scriptures: to find
the event correspondedto the prt diction,
as the tenon to the mortise, "Thus it is
written" that Christ should rise.
Only 1 he resurrection adequately ac
counts for Christianity, it. has been said
that it is more rational to believe the
system founded upon a miracle than on
a lie. Farrar affirms, a conscious false
hood could nver have had power to con
vince the disbelief and regenerate the
morality of the world.
Dogmatism and categorical statements
concerning tlie nature of the resurrection
body of Jesus, and of believers in general
had better be avoided. Exact descrip-
j tions, minute definition, are unnecessary,
i dangerous and entangling. Paul affirms
I in general terms that the resurrection
body shall be incorruptible, glorious, pow
erful, spiritual. That suffices.
PEGGY ON PLANT STUDY.
I heard tvvuz de style fer ter study plants,

So I went down dar whar de groun’

An’ den jes' gives hit 'way.
We burns de piant bed de fust er der

Den we plows and guanos an' hills up de

Dat's more work ’an de niggers does
need.
Den de fus’ rainy season dat comes in
May.
Ton jes' fairly breaks yo’ back.
Set tin’ out dem plants de livelong day,
Hardly time for ter eat a smack.
Den we has ter replant an’ keep out de

Has ter worm an’ sucker hit, too;
Den we has hit ter top, an' dat ain't de

But we starts 'nother crap a-knowin' still
Dat our labor we'se sure for to lose.

AT THE CONFEDERATE HOME.
With a violin on his feeble arm, and a
gleaming, rosined bow,
An old man played to the "Johnnie Rebs"
the airs of the hong ago:
How "the Dutch came to Missouri,” of
the "Flag with a Single Star,"
And the dear sweet tunes they had loved
to hear in the battle camps afar.
There were tears in the eyes of the player
then for the mem’ries passing sweet,
And the soldiers seemed to hear again the
tread of an army's feet.
And the old, old men (they were younger
then), in a visidjf seemed to see
The homes they had loved, with a mother,
wife, sweetheart, or child, maybe.
Then "Away Down South in Dixie" and
"Suanee River," too.
Where the boys in gray had met and
fought the boys in the coats of blue.
And the player paused, but they called
again for the air they loved so well.
Till the stirring notes of "Dixie Land ' on
the white-starred silence fell.
And tears were there in a hundred eyes,
but the hearts were strong and proud

LOVE'S RESCUE.
My life was like a. desert ha re
Of fountains sweet and flowers fair,
And parched with all the thirst of care.
My spirit was a lonesome thing,
A restless bird too sad to sing;
That fain would soar, yet hath no wing.
My heart was ns a captive bound,
]r. chains; his pallid forehead crowned.
With cruel thorns and crimson wound.
I sought the tender resting shine
Of blessed light and peace divine,
Which radiates from Love’s sacred
shrine.
And. !o. a blessed mystery
I felt wiihin the soul of me.
Sweet peace and lieavenlv harainnv.

WHAT I SAW IN THE EXPOSITION
GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
Once I knew a man who told me that
his principal reason for attending the
Chicago world's fair in 1893 was the
hope that it would lessen the desire of
his friends and acquaintenances to tell
him what they saw there. Now do you
think he was a selfish man? J do. I find
myself in the position of wanting to talk
about the Louisiana purchase exposi
tion. and I think there ought to be some
one willing to listen.
Though you have been quite unaw«—•
of my existence, I feel very well ac
quainted with the cousins, having been
a reader of the Sunny South for a num
ber of years. I have always been par-

logue? of the library at Washington. T
noticed one as ancient as 1802. One, dat
ed 1812, was opened at "John Quincy
Adams’ Lectures on Rhetoric and Ora
tory," and "Burke’s Inquiry into the
Origin of our Ideas.” 1 looked for fic
tion, but if there was any I failed to find
it. These old books were in glass gases,
of course, and I could only see one page.
Another queer book which caught my eye
wais “Choice Psalms Put into Mustek for
Three Voices,” which was printed in
London in the year 1648.
I went through the model of a 1 ite
mized ship, with staterooms and dining
rooms all complete, and even life sized
officers standing around as naturally as
possible. It was all very nice to go
through the ship, isafe as it was on good
old mother earth, but even after seeing
how comfortable and commodious it was,
I felt not at all anxious to try it out n
the "boundless v-*ep'. - oils I would like
very much to get over on the other side
of the world, I hop; before I am ready
to go, there will be. a through railroad
train of some kind which can take me
there. In the navy exhibit there was
a real whale. He warn a pretty big one.
too, and I was glad he was dead and
safely suspended f 'om the ceiling. I was
quite'willing to see him up in the air,
instead of in the ‘deep, deep blue sea,”
where 1 am very sure I would not care
to get close enough to his big mouth
to make much of an investigation.
In the postoffice department I saw
displayed the various vehicles used to
carry tlie mail, from the old time man
coacli to the fme equipped modern past-
office cars. Tim dead letters office was
well represented by several cases of
miscarried articles There were all kinds
of jewelry, wearing apparel, eatables,
queer hand made articles, queerer let
ters, and queerest fancy work. In fact,
1 do not remember anything queer that
was not in some one of these cases.
In a model hospital, I saw Serious
looking physicians administering chlo
roform and performing an operation on
some poor unfortunate. The scene looked
so dreadfully aral, I would not have been
surprised to have seen tlie patient strug
gle. or to have heard him scream. Of
course T suppose the chloroform pre
vented this, and my nerves were spared.
The agricultural department had a most
magnificent display of grain, nuts, and
splendid fruits that would almost make
your mouth water to look at, many of
the finest varieties from the sunny south.
From Sister Alaska there were life sized
natives in costume, with their sleds and
snow shoes, as well as various other
things I did not know enough to recog
nize.
The exhibit showing the work of the
Indians was wonderful; there were won
derful skeletons of mammoth animals
of unpronounceable names, as well as
many other equally wonderful and as
tonishing tilings, but I fear I have al
ready made by letter too long for a new
comer. I will close, hoping for an invi
tation to come again.
If the door is opened to me, and I am
asked to repeat my visit, perhaps I will
do better on further acquaintance. Be
cause it sounds like my real name. I
will sign myself CAMILLA.
"HEART WHOLE AND FANCY
FREE.”
Greatly pleased was I to see the pic
tured face of Sunbeam in the Household
page, and to read her earnest and noble
poem, "Would You?" on the same page.
She is in truth an incarnate Sunbeam, de
spite her short life.
I enjoyed the pen battle between Cous
in Reddy and those who opposed his the
ory that lovers must go slow; must build
a foundation of respect, and that would-
be wives must know’ how to cook. I have
had no experience, of falling in or out of
love, but—
i can cook and bake and stew.
Boil and fry an fricasse too,
Wash the dishes, sing a song,
Fix old dresses, make a bonnet.
For the ,/ousewife; write a sonnet,
Make a necktie or a shirt.
Do anything on earth, but flirt.
It is sweet to tread near the realm
of womanhood with no secret sorrow, not
even a childish passion to mar one's hap
piness. As for me. I can scarcely believe
in tlie all absorbing love we read of. It
may be true, but mothinks ’tis only the
poet and novelest who write nhout this
love. True friendship is rarely found, then
if friend to friend is so seldom true, how
—oh. tell me, ve wise ones, who have
graduated from the school of experience-
can there be any love that is true and
lasting? if so, it must he when soul to
soul its well as heart to heart, two know
and draw near to each other.

A VISIT TO PENSACOLA.
Lately r enjoyed a visit to the old
Florida city of tlie deep, broad harbor
and the naval station—Pensacola. We
name from Montgomery on the niglit
train, arriving at sunrise in Pensacola.
A fine view r greeted us. Nearly all the
Failed States battle ships were anchor
ed in the magnificent bay at accessible
distance#. Other boats and steamers
were at tlie pier. After getting a poor
breakfast at a hotel, we went on board
the steamer Monitor for a little pleas
ure sail. We went out into the gulf 15
miles. A number of the iaciies were sea- '
sick, but I was so fortunate as to escape.
When returning the boat stopped for
twenty minutes at the Ilte-savihg station
and we went ashore. Standing on the
beautiful snowy beach, i had my first
sight of the incoming tide. It is a grand
spectacle. I picked up a few sea sheila
to bnng home with me, though I need no
memento to remind me of that day.
In the afternoon we Went on board
the battle ship Alabama. One of the
marines kindly showed us every part of
the ship and explained the working of
the guns and torpedoes, it was very in
teresting. but I could not repress a
shudder as T looked at those grim mon-
st> rs and thought how a single shot sent
from their black throats would destroy
many young fives and malg^ many homes
desolate. It is well to see our country
so fully furnished with the means of p o-
teetion and deefnse, but I think every
woman and every Christian should pray
that there may never come a necessity
to use these grim “dogs of war.”
T hope T may be welcomed to the House
hold circle, as | h ive long admired the
gifted band and wished to join it.

MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME.
Dear Householders: So few of you
writ" from old Kentucky that I want her
represented. This is a typical Kentucky
village, on the banks of picturesque Green
river, the deepest river in the T'nited
States. A little cluster of houses*, about a
dozen families in all—a Methodist church
where a "circuit rider" preaches once a
month; three general merchandise stores,
where rosy-cheeked maidens come on
horseback to exchange a basket of eggs
for the little articles of dress so dear
to a girl.
And those girls, if you brothers of the
Household could see them, you wot:
