church-ioving Church Hill community are
awaiting the joyous fact of Easter day

A Necessary and Heaithful Adjunct to

A room without a couch of some sort is

good cry and momentary loss of con-
sciousuess on the upstair lounge, or the
old sofa in the sitting room. There are
times when so many of the things tn at

the way made clear If one only had a
long, comfortable couch on whose soft
bosom he could throw himself. boots and
brains, stretch his weary frame, unmind-
full of tides aud tapestry, close his tree
eyes, relax the tension of his muscles, aud
give his harassed mind a chance. Ten
minutes OF this soothing narcotic, when
the head throbs, the soul yearns for end

the vision clear, the nerves steady, the
heart light and Inc star or hope shine

There is no doubt that the longing to
die is mistaken for the need of a nap. In
stead of the immortality of the soul, bust
