AN EASTER STORY
By ELvIRA FLOYD FRoEMcKE

7HE Babcocks were fortunate
Ill young people; and their good
- luck was more than partially in
vested in Nancy. Nancy was of the
grenadier type; severe, capable and
thorough. She had been "managin'
help" for the ten months of their mar
ried existence; cooking, washing, iron
ing and debating, till they became
more like her children; and the day
she proposed to "Mrn Mis- Babcock
housekeepin' was a day deferred.
One sad morning Mrs. Babcock
paused as she opened the Kitchen pan
try door, for there, like a ghost OF the
departed, hung Nancy's "chore duds,"
1. e., faded cotton skirt and sack,
checked sunbonnet and huge prunella

Whats that?" called Joe. IF you
feel like hugging anybody, come here
and hug me. for must be off"
Mollie shifted. Poor Nancy, hope
she can come back to-day. Oh, Joe!
Easter three days off, Nancy sick, the
choir coming here for Easter supper,
and wife who knows nothing but
singing and loving! Poor Joel"
Joe did not answer, but his kisses
proved his content, and Mollie, flushed
annuiunad
A boy stopped Joe at the gate. I'D
like to see Mis- Babcock," he said.
Joe indicated Mollie.
THAT hain't never Aunt Nancy's
marm," he gasped; then BE ye?" to
Mollie; and added: "Wa'al, swan, .
before he delivered the mournful news
of Aunt Nancy's "swop jaw and shet
eyes" that would keep her in bed for
a week.
"Oh-h!" said Mollie. and "Oh-h-h!"
Knocked Joe.
What shall we do?" Taught Mollie

little more, to show how clever we
are" answered Joe.
Eyes, but Alice Morris will pity you
for having married me"
Twill she? Then think how yor
would have pitied me had | married
her." and, singing rollicking little
song, he ran down the path, like the
happy fellow he was.

''Alice sings her solo as if she un

one of the chorus. Mollie heard tn,
ungracious remark and resolved to b.
very gentle with Alice and her friend
If possible.
She spoke pleasantly and Wake,

Can we picture
mankind, If every

being in the Easter fact. What would
have become of intelligence and edu-
cation but for Christianity, which has
its root in the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, when the Tartar and the Hun,
the Vandal and the Visigoth swept
over the wreck of the Roman empire
and the ruins of Roman civilization?
Subtract from art all that 1t has pro-
duced under the stimulus of the reli-
gion which centers in the fact we cele-
brate to-day, and you will have left
only what survived in ancient Greece
possibly in Egypt-and even these
would not have been preserved but for
the love of art inspired by Christian
ity. More than all, the morality Gre
ated by teachings such as the sermon
on the mount would have persisted
but for the resurrection.

A more peaceable toy is the duck.

Him Who brought life and immortal
ity to light. A stupendous event had
taken place that made it plain with
in the precincts of this visible world,
that a world unseen and eternal, but
most real, awaits us hereafter The
belief in immortality did not originate
with Easter. Various ethnic religions
supply testimony to the fact that the
idea of Immortality of some sort has
always found lodgment in mans in
tellect and conscience.

divinity, and when on the third day,
despite the Vaccinations of His enc
mics, He rose victorious, as the con-
queror of death, He left to pastor and
to people a legitimate cause for per-
manent rejoicing. st. Paul teaches
this when he says: "If Christ be not
risen again, then our preaching Is
vain, and your faith is also vain"
The resurrection of Christ assures us
that we have been redeemed by the
power of His blood, and the angelic
tidings, "He is not here" gives us firm
est hope of our own resurrection and
life with Christ beyond the grave, for
Christ Himself said: Father, / will
that where am they also whom Thou
hath given Me, may be, that they may
see My glory, which Thou hast given
Me-"

When Easter Comes.

: 1.-The festival of Easter is to be cele-
brated on the Sunday following the
first full moon after the beginning Of
spring"
Therefore, if the moon becomes full
upon the day OF which spring be-
gins, the Sunday after the next full
moon is, of course, indicated by the
directions of the council as Easter
day. And If the moon becomes full
on Sunday. the next Sunday, SIM
ilarly, must be Easter day.

by making pinhole at each end, and
then blowing steadily at one end.
Make a hole in the middle of the
side of an egg and pour in melted
sealing wax and lead. Paint row
of portfolios around the egg and glue
on bow and stern cut from a cigar
box or shingle. The smokestack is
made of black cardboard, and the rail-
ing of wooden toothpicks glued in a
circle of cardboard which slips over
the smokestack and is kept in place
