life turn your attention to business,
reliability, responsibility; for as we
have said all other races have the
start of US in America. Conss-
quentially we must be honest, studi,
Gus, punotual and economical; do
not spend one moment in idleaess,
bad company, saloons, billiard halls;
card tables or the ball rooms, for
our time is limited and only comes
to US once. Therefore spend every
idle moment in reading or preparing
for some duty in life, and keep off
the street corners laughing or talk

study for the higher ideals in life

EASTER.

Easter has come and gone, the
last one to be observed in the 10Th
century. The song services, the
anthems and solemn chorals with
Easter lilies and singing birds, to-
gather with special sermons, sounds
It's presence. Yetithas been nearly
1000 years ago since our blessed
Savior triumph over death, and
Mary goes out in cary darkness and
seen the angel which had rolled the
stone away.
AS we read the old old story over
it bu, renumerate and proclaim in
our mind the supreme power of God.
While we would like to say this
Easter that all christian nations are
at peace; yet it is painful fact that
while some christian people are OBJ
serving Easter with praises and songs
England is prosecuting a bloody
war with few christian people in
South Africa, who wish to live in
their country peacefully; and few
thousand Americans are going
through the swamps of the Archa'
pelago hunting the natives to subject
them to our rule. We hope these
wars may soon terminate and thai
peace and brotherly love exist.
