A Story of an Easter Offering

Il balmy spring day had come, and
FL the lilac buds were bursting, dis
playing their tiny leaves. The
flowers in the open air had not as yet
shown any signs of life, but thousands
were budding under glass preparatory
TO filling the churches on Easter Sun
day. 4 young man and a girl were
walking on a country road toward q
spire that doomed in the distance above
a clump Of trees and from which a Sill

A Misguided Proverb.

Perhaps no English provcrb or pro-

quoted than the one that speaks of hit

hit the wrong nail would be "duffer''

An Irish Easter custom.

A queer custom. probably descended
through the coming OF Christianity
from the Roman custom of making
gifts. exists in Ireland. When people
meet on Easter Sunday morning one
says:
'Me ,Aisther eggs on ye:"
The answer is, THAT ye mustn't get"
But no meaning whatever is attached
to the words nowadays. Probably in
ancient times the one who first asked
for the eggs had to get them.
