Foster piloted through his estimates on Saturday. He handied"tliem with the skilfulness which might be ex- pected from a veteran Cabinet Minis- ter and Parliamontarian. Hon. Robert Rogers is almost equally skilful and had little more difllculty with his estimates. He followed Sir George Saturday and by midnight, when the House closed down to get ready for ths Easter parade, he had made a good start on his estimates. Sir George made several 'interesting announce- ments in the course of the discussion of his estimates. The three most im- portant were as follows.

1. The Dominion's Royal Commis-

Sermons. Churches

ln all the city churches yesterday

special Easter services were held. the music in every case bcing unusually good. Dcsorving of special mention was the repetition in the First Metho- dist Church ol' Staincr's “ Cruciilxion," which created quite an impression on its first presentation on Fridny evcu- ing. This collossal musical work was carried out by 52 ladies and gentle- men under tho leadership of Professor Tliompsoii, whose ability in this dlrcc- tion is well known.

AT FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.

Luke xxiv. 32 was Mr Dawson's text.

He opened by saying that no one knew when Jesus lcft His grave to resume His work on bclialf of our race. . The migliiy angel who came down and rolled away the stone, breaking the Roman seal which was upon it. did not perform this oliicc l'or sake of cn- abling Jesus to move forth from the tomb. His resurrection body knew no physical barriers and lie had prob- ably uioved forth invisihly in thc pros- cnce of thc soldiers composing the guard, which had been stationed there the previous night. The tomb was thrown open simply to advertise its emptiness, alid by means of that tho fact that in some way not easily explained boili (.‘-aiaplias and Pilntc, both Jerusalem and Ytoine, had been defied and reduced to liclplesslicss.

lt is not always best that good news

should be made known at the curlicst possible moment. Jesus could have informed all of His disciples in a very few minutes that His body was no longer dead and waiting for their further care, and thus have spared them the trouble of ilie visits some ot them made io the place where it had lain, but ho proceeded more wisc- ly and we havcthc beautiful story of His appearance first to lllary Magda- lene and uftcrwzirds to those two melt on their way to Eiiiiiiaiis.

Our hcaris are often sad just be-

cause of our Ignorance. lt was so with these men. ' All was wr-ll. (flori- ous victory had followed apparent rlefcut, and they were gloomy und despondeilt still, all because they did not know. They needed enlighten- ment. and Jesus joined iliem to fur- nish it. When one looks at His inclhod he secs that it was roulid- about rather than direct. He wished them to reach the splendid fact of His resurrection through a clearer and more adequate acquaintance with their own religious literature. With its language they were perfectly familiar. but not with its inner or hidden mean- ing. Was it Shelly who wrote: "Life like ii dome of many coloured glass stains l.lic white radiance of eternity." God's revelation touching His Messiah not only took colour from the human mediums through which it had to pass, but also suffcrcd distortion to some extent. So it either baffled or mislcd, and i.lie first competent intcrprctcr that was found for it was our riscu Lord I-limself.

To_lcarn is to reach joy and elation

of soul. This accounts for thc fact that young men and women who plan for only ii year or two at college be- come euiliuscd and go on through thc full course and tlicn cannot desist perhaps until they have taken more than one degree in connection with post-graduate work. And this is why these disciples, after Jesus had nindc Himself known to them in the break- ing of thc bread at Emuiaus, reverted in thought to their journey out in His company, and looking into each othcr`s eyes exclaimed: “ Wlere not our hearts burning within us while He was talk- ing with us on the road and explaining to us the Scriptures." Now wo know. wc know not only that Ho has risen from the dead. We do know that. for wc iiavc looked again into His loving eyes and heard once more His match- less voice. but we kliow also His place iii history, Hc Himself has lnugiit us that.

if we poor prcachors had only hecu

favoured with a report of the orilcr in which Jesus took up tho words which llc had found in the Old Testa- ment conceming Himself, how wo would have appreciated it! One tlilng we are sure of His sermon was up-to- date. And were lie preaching hero now His discourse would be of the some sort. And after all do we not know what the chief point of that sermon to two must have been? ls it not clearly indicated by thai. word of Isaiah, "Ami the govemment shall be upon his shoulders . . . and his name shall be called-the Father of an Ever- lasting Age and The Prince of Peace? it is line to belong to the greatest and best Empire upon which the sun shines to-day. it is finer to be able truthfully to say-My citizenship is in' heaven and my King the One all of whose enemies are being made His footstool. Those two Jews on their way to Emmaus had their hearts set on fire by this fact as it was set forth for them by Jesus Himself. And later. when _they came to know that their nation had failed and was doomed to disappear their Joy and conndence

-still remained umhaken. They were

convinced ~that all peoples would,

the crew were savid. -

politically as well as in every other way, and that the intervening years would present one long and steady march towards this crowning triumph of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Their burning hearts placed Christ above their own nation. They could cudurc its destruction if that would mean the progress nl' His King- dom through the iustruiuentality of a. hc-iter people. They placed Christ. first and patriotism second. And when we have learned that lesson well our patriotism is a truly Christian product.
