SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1897.
Easter.
Infidelity may sneeringly ridicule
and rationalism may contemptuously
deny the historic resurrection of Jesus
Christ, an event whoseanniversary the
Church celebrates to-morrow, but they
are utterly powerless to shake the faith
of sincere Christian believers in its act-
uality. These believers have an inward
and spiritual witness to the truth of
that doctrine which defies all the shafts
of wit and logic that the enemies of the
Christian religion may hurl against it.
Time and reflection have shattered
many myths and legends connected
with the earthly career of the Nazarene
Teacher, but to the tenet of the resur-
rection the Church still tenaciously
clings as to the Rock of Ages. Call it
credulrt’y. call it superstition if you will
but such profound faith must have in it
something substantial, something abid-
ing and vital to justify its existence.
3 It is impossible to overrate the impor-
tant influence which belief in the doc-
trine of the resurrection has exercised
over the lives of individuals. It has
robbed the grave of its terrors and the
Valley of the Shadow of its gloom. It
has taken from sorrow and bereavement
Their chief sting. It has planted in the
heart patience and resignation under
the heaviest of human afliictions. It
has enabled uncounted millions to say:
”Not my will but Thine be done.” It
has wreathed the face of grief in smiles
and clad despair In the garb of hope.
Ithas added to the earnestness and re-
sponsibilities ot‘ lile by reminding its
possessors that—
Ttlhare is. no death! What seems so is transis
tion;- , , -
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian,
Whose portal we call death.
Meet and right it is, therefore, that
Easter .should be celebrated ”in the
beauty of holiness” and in the holiness
of beauty—with all the pomp of flower
ritual and song and every O‘ther
token of gratitude and rejoicing. “As
in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all
be made alive,” alive, 'too, in not only
a physical sense but in a spiritual and
moral sense; alive in the sense that re-
deems mankind from all. that is low,
vile and base, and enable it to rise in
triumph from sin and vice; alive in the
sense which makes possible the constant
spread of civilization. This is the
meaning of Easter. Let the manifold
lessons it teaches not be missed or lost.

Opening Shad Season.
The improvement in the Delaware
supply of shad an the result of artificial
propagation and the clearing of the
river of obstructions and deadly fish
traps become more apparent year by
year. The shad catch last year was the
largest known since artificial propaga—
tion was introduced, and the present
season has opened even mbre success-
fully than that of last year. In spite ( f
March weather, high water and north-
west winds, the 'catch in the lower
reaches of the river and bay is greater.
than usual, and the fish are of the best
as regards size and quality.
The lesson of the growing success of
the shad—fishing interests of the Dela-
ware due to the adoption of sensible
measures in propagating and protect-
ing this valuable food fish should not
- be lost on the Legislature. If the shed
fisheries are to continue increasingly
prosperous the river must be kept clear
of dams and fish traps. Both the Feder-
al and State governments are pledged
to a continuous [policy of re-stocking
the .river by artificial propagatiOn
providing conditions are maintained
that will not make it a useless waste of
labor and money: '

‘ Claim is one thing, proof is another.

Doane’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys.
Cure all kidney ills.
Hundreds of citizens testify to this.
' Here is a case in point. :
Mr. R. G. Millard, of 51 West Avenue
South Norwalk engaged in the fur
manufacturing business in West Norwalk
says“ Ihavc had kidney trouble for years,
and have taken so much medicine and
been under the care of physicians so of-
ten that I ought to be an, authority on
the question. ‘ I seemed to be rid of my
trouble for a time, but it showed signs
of returning and I wanted to check it.
I noticed some published statements a-
bout Doane’s Kidney Pills and procured
a box at Hale’s Pharmacy in Norwalk’.
They helped me, and a continuance of
the treatment I believe will eventually
effect a radical: cure.”
Doane’s Kidney Pills help at first, heal,
strengthen, then cure. That is their re-
cord everywhere and there are many
such cases. You can read about them
every day.
