THE KAIsER's GREETING.


The program Of the German En-
peror as announced in his New Years
address, is chiefly composed Of military
numbers. In effect he said. that as
the army now had been brought to a
stage as near perfection as possible.
the next concern would be the navy.
This branch must also be brought up

were: And even as my grandfather
labored for his army, so will In like

eign and domestic, was the largest ever
recorded The exports or the twelve

Of failures as the smallest for seventeen

brated in Easter the advent Of spring, which
to them was, as Il matter OF course, a time for
popular rejoicing after the hardships and
terrors Of a long and rigorous winter. Our
Saxon ancestors glorifed the day as the fore
runner of summer with its fat crops, its out
door life and its opportunities for com
munion with nature.
The bold and intrepid missionaries who
christianized the heather nations OF the
north deemed it wise to adapt old and treas
ured beliefs and ceremonials to the nobler
religion, and thus Easter was put to new
and better uses. Scriptural brightness was
made to succeed darkness, sorrow was sup.
planted by joy.
Easter has always been a gentle festival
and has ever had a softening effect on man.
kind. 1t is a day Of good fellowship and Of
kindly feelings which unite all men into one
brotherhood.
To the Christian the day comes as a CLEAN
OF sunshine comes to nature after dreary
days of darkness and storm, because the
resurrection is the great proof Of the divin.
ity of Christ; and the open tomb must for
all time be the evidence of the truth which
the Saviour preached to men that man is
saved through the sacrifice of a God made
man.
Father Thomas ]. Conaty, rector Of the
Catholic university at Washington, in a ser.
mon on Easter declared it to be "the feast
of hope which tells man that death has not
conquered us, that beyond the grave there
is life, and from death there is resurrection
1t tells that Christ is The source of our faith
the source Of our hope, and by Him We live
as in Him we believe. whom also we mus;
love. AS the grain planted in the tomb Of
the earth terminates and bursts forth into
the glory OF the harvest field, so human ma
ture inclosed in the tomb of death will ger
inmate and burst forth immortal in tn,
fields of the eternal husbandman.
Winter covers the earth with its mantle
OF sorrow and nature seems in death, but tn,
bright sun of the spring morning sees th'
stone rolled away and nature bursts forth
into life. The fields are clad in verdure, tn
trees bud forth and fragrance comes to tn,
flowers, and all men hear the voices saying
If God so clothe the grass of the field, which
to-day is, and tomorrow is cast into thu
oven, shall He not much more clothe you
o We OF little faith
And so Easter brings to us the pleasan
hope Of resurrection, to believe in Christ, Il
hope in Christ, to love in Christ, to posses
Christ.
Easter brings us the risen Saviour, on
hope, our joy. We must live with Christ il
the grace of His redemption, if we woul'
rise with Christ in the JOY OF His resurrec

Joyce looked around. Where was Der.

the church. The child had not waited, but
had gone on into the auditorium.
When the soft light fell round her and the
decorations burst on her admiring gaze, a
great sigh Of satisfaction escaped her lips.
There stood the big pipe organ in its old
place, and she knew the organ boy was be-
hind that screen. She remembered how she
used to admire his short laxen curls and
blue tie, and wonder if he didn't worl, harder
in his part of the service than the minister
did in his.
She wandered down the fragrant aisle as
one in a lovely dream, not conscious that she,
herself, was the most beautiful thing in this
Eastertide picture.
But the new soloist who had retired to
the right, giving place to a quartette, saw her.
He shut his book Oh his finger and felt
strangely moved. Her white cap, like a big
snowflake resting on the wealth OF dark hair,
and the luxuriant curls straying down over
the tleecy white wrap suggested the glory
OF woman in Holy Writ.
And Bernice wondered why mamma did
not come III. What would she do with the
offeringy O, yes; there wes the man over
there where papa used to sit; he was the
committeeman, surely, as he was not sing
ing. She went up the altar steps and handed
him the box.
This is our Easter offering" she said. He
took the package. Her voice, hei
face. He drew his handkerchief across his
bewildered vision and read the name on thu
wrapper. Looking after the child he gasped
out: Little one!" But she had gone
around to see Teddy work the bellows. The
soloist opened the box and saw a beautiful
cluster OF lilies, and read: Everybody for
gives everybody at Eastertide."
A great desire to cry out with an agonizin,
cry came over him, but he got up quietly ant
slipped into the vestry, taking the flower
with him.

By noon the crowd usually is already

when the leader raises his baton every pulse
