THE EVENING CALL. Vol. X. No. 178. SOCIALSALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR THE EVENING CALL. HER COMING OUT. In her dainty hat and feather, In her pretty modish gown, All to match the blithe spring weather, Comes our bonny maid to town ; And the swains who follow after, As the fair one walks before, Listen for her sweet low laughter, Leave their greetings at her door. 'Tis the same old simple story Told in every century's ear; Stronger far than fame or glory Is the spell she weaveth here. Just by looking dear and pretty, In her dainty Easter gown, She can win the whole wide city "When our maiden comes to town. Coming out when pussy-willows Nod beside the dancing rill, When the violets star the pillows Os the green moss on the hill; Coming when the winds together Sing for mirth and tell of spring, Welcome, maid and birds and weather, Flower and dimple, glance and wing. * * * Dame Fashion is in the zenith of her glory, and the week at hand will submerge womankind in the depths of spring gowns and spring bats, pret ty neck gear, parasols and fans, and the annual Easter parade which the small town and the great metropolis always witness, promises to be one of the most interesting for many sea sons. Grandmother, matron and maic have been interested alike in what to wear Easter Sunday, snd many of the costumes seen tomorrow will be beautiful beyond compare. But we must not think that just because all womankind will blossom out tomorrow in spring attire, that her thoughts during the past forty days have re verted solely to the selection and fashioning of these pretty gowns and hats. In the denial of worldly pleas ures and gaities, there have come thoughts of a serious and holy nature, and on this happy day there should be in the breast of each one a kindlier feeling of love for all humanity. The great spirit of love is assuming a sub limer attitude every day. It is yet destined to rise so high, to spread so wide, and shine so bright, that all creeds and governments will be swal lowed up and lost in its all-absorbing, overshadowing power. No one’s in fluence lies in the office which he holds, in the position which be fills, but in the thoughts which be arouses and the sentiments which he inspires in the hearts of bis fellow beings. One’s influence is unceasing; it is as lasting as eternity, as death, and as immortality. The river runs ever onward to the sea, and we say of its water when it reaches the great gulf that it is lost. Not so ;it is caught up by the sun and again comes back in the form of rain to revive and refresh the earth. So it is with that great current of humanity, which is running ever onward to the infinite ocean of eternity. We say of a man when he is engulfed io that sea of oblivion that he is dead. No ;be has just begun to live, and living, must affect the des tiny of the generations that come after him. Not a single human thought has ever died. Even if suppressed in ut terance, it has left its impression on the eternal destiny of the mind which conceived it, and the soul whose sen timent first stirred the intellect to its creation. How careful we should be then, of our words and thoughts. Our daily prayer should not only be to do right, but to think and feel right, I have the highest regard for that re ligion which takes charge of man’s mind, and, eradicating thoughts of vice and sin, fills them with thoughts of love, purity, virtue and God ; for that religion which places the human mind on the very highest plane and keeps it in perfect harmony with the divine hand. Every one has his own special work to do, and though all can not fill the same office nor hold the same station, all can inspire the hearts of their fellow beings with higher, purer, nobler thoughts. All can so fill their spheres, however humble, that they will receive as much credit and honor as though they occupied the very highest station. * » » Mrs. James Brewn was the delight ful hostess at a pretty luncheon given last week in honor of Mr. Allie Baker.

Then she repeated three times in a solemn voice, “These hands of my busband and your father are preserved from the grave to clutch Marie Louise of Parma and drag her away from happiness and life.

Easter is the Christian festival cor responding to the Passover of the Jews. The passover is a solemn festival commemorating the providential de liverance of the Jews on the night be fore their departure for the promised land, when the destroying Angel woo emote the first borne of the Egyptians, Passed Over those houses of the He brews that were sprinkled with the blood of a lamb. This was the type God gave of the Shedding of the blood of hie son. • The Christiane do not keep the Jew ing festival, because the type has been fulfilled. They have in its stead the solemn festival commemorating the resurrection of the Christ, which whs the crowning event in the shedding of his blood for man of which the shed ing of blo d of the lamb in the passs over was typical and the institution of himself for ever as the living sacri fice. The Christian festival is broader than that of the jews Their festival was national in character, and with them referred to their deliverance from the destroying Angel. The Christian festival is universal in its application and can not be appro priated by any Nation, Sect, or caste. r To the Jewish shepherds who kept wq|ch over their flocks at night; but the proclamation was not alone in their interests, for the angel said unto them, “bebold I bringyou good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peo* pie.” And so the coming of christ was not alone to the Jew, for about the same time the Magian Philosophers—the wise men of the east—saw a strange light that guided them to the birth place of the christ. 8o on Easter morning all the people of the world may worship their Savior. Their is no exclusiveness in christ— he is the Savior of the Jew and the Gentile alike—the savior of one man as well as another. As the angel said, ' the gospel is good tilings of great joy for aft people.” Creeds and Dogmas of men have hid this great truth from the world, and millions fail to realize . what God has done in the shedding of s the blood of his son—could we but j realize that we are all saved, instead I of to be saved, and could we realize if we are lost it is by our own choice in going away from the sheep fold, the . world would be happier, and many who are following afar off would join flock and follow the voice of the Shep ard. Let us all in the morning realize that we are Christ’s, and if we have > been astray “out on the mountains dark and cold” let us come home, where the protecting arms of the gen tle Shepherd may embrace us and the memorial of his living sacrifice bring us forgiveness from a loving father. I If we can realize this truth, this Easter will be the brightest Easier we have ever celebrated. We are al! the offspring of God, hence children of the same father We are all party of the one life that was in our first parent, ‘ hence are closely related as brothers. . Our personality alone is distinct, and makes us separate from one another. This personality we build for our- • selves, and upon it rests our individual ' success, happiness and salvation. It is written in indelible lines on the pages of “sacred writ.” “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap.” Al) nature echoes the sound of the sacred voice, and in the secret debts of our hearts weal! realize the truth. Happy are we that we undertake to ‘ erect our personality, or, as the Ma - sons express it, build our temples, as a saved and not a lost spirit. Happy are we that we build not alone, but R.F.

Ido not look upon them as “lost spirits," though some of them are “out of the fold.” I look upon them, though now 1 astray, as brothers and children of God, whom Christ, the good Shepherd, is ready any moment to welcome home again.
