Scarcely an >W resident lives but who has been touched witb sot low by this side of the Lake. Daring the years it has been the grave of some relative or friend, and \rith all oar lore for the lake, we most admit it has its treacherous side. In the days when the sea runs high, there is an nndertow with a menace in it. that he who swims would do well to take note of. Its bottom is a constantly shifting one. Where there is a smooth floor today there are gaping boles tomorrow and where you step in one morning and the water scarcely reaches the ankle, the next it is like stepping from off a ledjre so deep has the water become over night in the same identical place. The lake never becomes ▼err warm and its waters are generally too cold for all bat the hardy. To swim any distance from the shore line is to invite the numbing cramp. The lake indeed is dangerous and to use it carelessly is to tempt fate. But for all this we are not going to withdraw our earlier dictum. If those who use the lake will adopt for their motto, the one word, caution, and will abide by it, they will find it the sesame which will put to flight the inseenrity they fear. The trouble with youth is that it too often flings caution to the winds. So with them there should be all possible safeguards, but the one which forbids all use of the lake is not a good one. Few boys obey such a prohibition and those who do are deprived of a valuable acquisition for swimming is an art which ought to be known by <e very body.

One of the 1 objections we have heard against owning a fruit tree is that they /' attract marauding boys. To our mind this is bne of the best reasons for having one. A few years ago in our back yard was : one of these ancient trees that some one of blessed kindliness had *: planted years before. It%was a perfect glory of flower as summer ap- i proaehed and later its aged branches were loaded down with rich red \ cherries. The word went out over the neighborhood and all the young brigands of the vicinity feasted their eyes by day with a pretty well 1 denned Idea of treating their stomachs the same way by night. When c the darkness fell we would sit in the shadow of the house and wait for I the youngsters to appear. Our waiting w<ts not in vain. With what . stealth and whisperings and ereepings they would approach that cherry \ tree. With what careful glee they would shake its venerable trunk I and finally with what courage they would risk capture by mounting up ; to its luscious ruby fruit. This was our opportunity. Did we rush oat and sense them and box and whale them as we could have done if we started toward tfeem silently? Indeed we did not. That woald have spoiled their fun and ours too. Before we started we would let out three yells that would do credit to a Sioux Indian. This was the mgry so long as be was in harmony signal to the boys that the enemy was coming.

Plato and ail the heathen chum with out evidence that dying was not the penalty for sin. that, on the contrary. It is another step of an evolution proc- ess, a passage-way to a new life, un- der new conditions, of which they know nothing. Theirs is merely a guess, a philosophy, and, of course, has no use for a resurrection of the dead, because the fact of death 1s denied and the dead are said to be more alive than when they were alive. The Bible declares that from the very beginning God purposed the leaunec- tton of the dead and that therefore, all believers were privileged to speak of the deceased, not as dead In an abso- lute sense, like the brute, but as being asleep--waiting for the glorious morn- tag of Messiah's Kingdom and the res- urrection. Thoa the Prophet declares, "Weeping may endure for the night trot Joy cometh in the morning." Thus the Bible talis us that "Abraham slept with his fathers," etc^ etc St Paul says, "If there be no resur- rection of the dead. * * • then those who are fallen asleep In Christ are perished/* (I Corinthians xv. 13-1&) How could this be true if they have been alive In heaven for centuries? First or Chief Resurrection. Mot all of the dead will have tbe same resurrection. Some will be rais- ed to the likeness of tbe first Adam, while others, members of the Body of Christ, will be granted a superior res- urrection--to glory, honor, inimortality and the divine nature. Of tbe latter St Paul explains, "sown in weakness, raised in power; sown In dishonor, raised in glory; sown an animal body, raised a spirit body." (I Corinthians xv. 43, 44.) Of the same class our text declares, "Blessed and holy are all they that have part is the Pint Resurrection; • • • they shall be Priests onto God, and unto Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years." (Revelation xx, 6: r, 10.1 "But the Rest off the Dead.* Ah! this part of our text is sadly mis- j understood and has thrown many Bi- ble students off tbe track of troth. They nave understood the passage to mean that Christ and His glorified Bride class will reign for a thousand years over socfa of humanity as will be alive at tbe time <a tbe setting up of the Messianic Kingdom. They think that this passage teaches that all the millions of tbe world who have died during tbe past six thousand years will have no share in tbe blessings of Ifes- siab'a Kingdom.
