AN EASTER RABBIT
An Easter rabbit is very nice

An Easter rabbit is very nice.
This rabbit is eating cabbage. I
think it is a very pretty rabbit. It Is.
white and black. It is a tame rab-
bit. Its master is small boy about s.
or 10 years old. His name is Nat.
He is very good to his pet whom he
calls bunny. He eats cabbage and
clover. He has four legs Some rab-
bits live in the woods and some live
in little rabbit houses.
Bunny lives in nice little house
that Mats father made for him. Nat
painted 1t red. He has plenty to eat,
because Nat takes him food.
Nat Is very kind to him. Nat goes
to school and bunny gets very lone
some, When Nat comes home he feeds
Bunny. Bunny is always very happy
when Nat comes home. His master
will bring him clover and cabbags.
Sometimes he is let out to get his
won food. He scamperes along the
garden fence hunting for clover. Then
he goes to the cabbage to get ali he
wants. Pretty soon he hears some
one calling him-Bunny, Bunny, Bun
ny.
It was Nat and so he ran to where
the sound came 'FRONT.' Nat carried
him to his house to put him up for
the night. It was getting dark so Nat
did not stay very long.

THE FIRST EASTER.

On the first day of the week Mary
Magdalene, Salome, Mary the mother
Of James. and perhaps Mary, the
mother of Jesus and other women,
arose very early In the morning
when It was yet dark, and went to the
grave where Jesus was buried, to put
sweet spices on his body. On the way
there they talked about how they
would get the stone rolled away from
the grave. When they got there it
was rolled away and the body was
not in the grave. They went to tell
the disciples that the body was not
in the grave and Mary saw man
that she thought was the gardener
and asked him If he knew where
body of Jesus was. He spoke her
name and she knew 1t was Jesus, and
said, Rabboni, which means master.
We celebrate Easter In memory of
the day that Jesus rose from the dead.

THE SOUVENIR PosTALs.

No doubt some of our colder" read
ers will not understand why we are
always sending out postals. We send
them because we realize that the
Juniors are delighted to get them.
However, we do not want the Juniors
to acknowledge them by simply
thanking us or by writing a receipt, but
we do want them to write a nice lit
tie letter telling us of their pets,
their home, the beautiful flowers or
something else of interest. The first
Junior who writes what we consider
an excellent letter will get splendid
surprise prize. We will still send out
postals to Juniors the week in which
their letters or stories appear on the
Junior page. We have some beautiful
new postals which we will send out
next week. The Juniors might write
letters to some absent member Of
their family or else they might pre-
tend to be away on trip and write
home.

A dear little girl had an Easter
basket full Of Easter eggs. They were
all colors. She said that the red and
yellow were the prettiest. So she
took the Easter eggs in her basket
and showed them to her aunt. Her
aunt said they were very pretty. Just
then her uncle came in and he said,
Where did you get the eggs?" She
said they were her Easter eggs, which
were colored. He though they were
so pretty. He said he would give her
a penny for one. So she gave him the
Easter egg and he gave her penny.
She went home and told her mamma
what her uncle gave her for an Eas-
ter egg. Her mamma said it was very
nice. So she went back and her un.
Gle bought another one for her aunt,
She asked them if they would 70

they went home with her and she
colored some more Easter eggs.

THE FIRST EASTER.

am going to tell you of the first
Easter Sunday. 1t was the glorious
resurrection Of Christ our Saviour and
redeener. The blessed Virgin, his
Holy Mother. Mary Magdalene, the
Apostle Saint John got up early and
went to the sepulchre where he was
with their hearts filled with joy be-
cuase before he died he told his
APOSTLES that he would arise from the
dead the third day after his DEAN. oh
how surprised the blessed Virgin and
the others were when they found the
stone rolled away and an angel there
instead.
There were lilies outside Of the tomb
and now we decorate our affairs with
flowers on Easter Sunday and
Christmas and especially on the
resurrection Of Christ, which
was on Easter Sunday. He stay
ed on earth forty days. Our Lord is
the second person in the blessed trinity
and he sits at the right hand Of God,
the Father. Just think how God, the
Father, loved US when he could give
UP his only son. Our Lord, to die for
our sins.

THE FIRST EASTER.

Easter is the festival of the resur.
rection of Jesus Christ. In the ancient
church the celebration lasted about
eight days, but in later years 1t has
been shortened to two or three days.
1t was then a festival Of pleasure
Aims were given to the poor and
slaves we're often freed. Before East
er daily services were held all week.
On Easter day people greeted each
other with kiss. saying: HE Is
risen," to which the other person
made the reply, "He is risen, indeed"
This custom is still kept up in the
Greek churches.
The custom OF exchanging eggs as a
remembrance of the resurrection or
renewed life, is very old custom.
Easter day Is always the first Sunday
after the full moon, which comes up
on or next after the Dist OF March.

A HAPPY EASTER.

My idea of happy Easter is to
come down stairs on Easter Sunday
morning and to see table all prettily
decorated with rabbits and candy in
baskets.
Then after you have had your break
fast get ready and go to mass, then
come home and eat nice dinner. and
color eggs to make poor children
happy. An Easter egg is whole lot
to poor children.
Lilies look pure. People say that
the Blessed Virgin is as pure as a
lily. Which she is.
Poor people are shown the way to
Heaven just as well as the rich. Our
blessed Lord was 80 poor he was born
in a stable with COW and a donkey.
Although our dear Lord was king
he didn't wish for a grand mansion

THE OPEN DOOR MISSION.

Today, Mr. Stinson of the Open
Door Mission tells the Juniors who
either gave a dime or pair of shoes,
last week, what he did with the
other time more Juniors will send in
little help. Mr.. Stinson's letter fol-
lows:
Dear Courier Juniors
am sure the little children who
were helped by your donations to
Open Door Mission would like to have
me thank you. We received $3.50 in
money, and We needed it badly.
One poor family, who have lived in
box car all winter, had boy 70
years old who could not talk and
could not go to school, so we took
him to Glenwood, the state school for
the feeble minded. We bought him a
pair of shoes with $1.25 of the mon
ey you gave us. His two little broths
ers had no shoes and we used SITS
to buy them shoes.
Another little boy whose pape
died last winter, leaving his mamma
and five children, was given a good
pair of shoes sent us by Mr.. Daniels,
and we used 20 cents Of your money
to buy him pair Of pants. You see
there is a balance of 80 cents yet to
pay.
We also gave away the shoes the
Juniors sent in to some medley little
children.
! am sure when you learn how hap
py these little children are made by
your gifts you will save your nickels
and we will always have money to
buy clothing for poor children.

EASTER STORY

There was once a wicked old Hox
that killed setting mother hen and
the rabbit came along in the night and
cuddled up the eggs under her.
This happened on Easter eve and at
dawn Of Easter morning there was
nest full of new chicks. They
thought the rabbit was their mother
and they all ran after her. She cared
for them, kept them warm and fed
them until they grew up.

HEReERT's HERoIsM.

He lived with his parents on farm
several miles from town. He was a
brave. industrious boy, well liked by
all who knew him. He was fond of
z,s''Ins. and c. all the country sports,
and when not in school or busy with
his work on the farm he spent much
Of his time on the river bank ang.
ling for finnies.
One bright day in early April Her.
bert desided to go fishing. The week
had been rainy one, pouring for
hours every day, and the ground was
too water soaked for blowing or gar
den work. So Herbert had nothing to
do but spend the day angling, hoping
to bring home fine string of fish
for supper.

MY IDEA OF A HAPPY EASTER.

My idea of happy Easter woul4
be to give some presents to some chill
dren who have never heard Of aEas-
ter or Jesus would fix up to go
to their house on Easter morning and
take nice dinner, some Easter pres
ents and the bible. When got there
would read to them out Of the bible
and read to them about Jesus when
he arose, and Mary did not know him.
She was out in the garden weeping
for him. He had to say to her MARY"
before she could recognize him. Then
l would tell them the story of the
first Easter. Then would give them
the bible SO they could read it when
they wanted to. After dinner would
read some more out of the bible.
This is my idea of happy Easter.

EASTER SUNDAY.

Jesus arose on Easter Sunday. He
was crucif1ed and laid In the tomb on
Good Friday and arose on the third
day and that is why it is called
Easter Sunday. They went to tell his
disciples and behold, Jesus met them
saying, "All hail" And they came
and held him by the feet and worship.
ped him.
That was to show how they loved
him and how glad they were that our
Blessed Redeemer had risen again,
This is why Easter Sunday is held
In remembrance and to praise and
give thanks to him for all things and
saving us from our sins. We ought to
all love and worship him as his dis.
ciples did then.

THE LILY.

There is grace and charm about
the lily which makes the flower a gen

1t Is not wholly its beauty, it's gold
en- heart in cup of purest white, that
caused US to love this flower. It sig
niies purity and innocence.
We see the lily in various pictures
and especially in pictures Of the
saints. The lily is often seen in the
picture of Madonna and Child"
