THE FIRST EASTER.

will now write and tell you about
the first Easter. The third day came.
1t was early in the morning and. all the
soldiers were at watch when all at
once the earth shook and an angel
came and rolled the stone away. And
Jesus came out of the tomb all glor-
ious and beautiful. The soldiers who
were afraid of the Jews gave them
a sum of money The apostles came
and took the body of Jesus. When
Mary, the mother of Jeses and and
Mary Mcgdaline came to embalm the
body of Jesus they found the sepul-
chre empty

1t has been long time since have
written to the Juniors. have received
two postcards from the Junior which
was very thankful for. I am going to
write about little girl and rabbit.
This little girls name is Daisy. Sha
has pail full of Easter eggs. This
little rabbit is Daisy's. His name Is
Bunny He is a pet rabbit Daisy
lives on farm. She is about four
years old
Daisy got up real early on Easter to
see if the rabbits had left her any
Easter eggs. Daisy went to Sunday
school on Easter to learn what Easter
means. Maybe some of the Junior
friends don't know what Easter means
so / will tell them. The breaking Of
the egg shell represents the breaking
of the tomb.

THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT IN
SCHOOL

The most important event of school
was the last day. We intended to
have picnic in the woods, but 1T
rained and we could not get to have it
in the woods. We were going to pick
flowers, after we got through eating
our dinner, but we ate our dinners IN
the schoolhouse and we spoke pieces
afterwards. We had lots of fun it
we did not get to go to the woods. My
teacher gave me picture for not
being absent or tardy all of the year.

It is time for US now as a nation to
exercise the same reasonable fore

The natural resources have

The minerals do not and cannot
renew themselves. Therefore in

we can do is to try to see that they
are wisely used. The exhaustion

The second class OF resources
consists OF those which cannot on
ly be used in such manner as to
leave them undiminished for our
children, but can actually be inn
proved by wise use. The soil, the
forests come In this category. In
dealing with mineral resources,
man is able to improve on nature
only by putting the resources to
beneficial use, which in the end
exhausts them; but in dealing with
the soil and its products man can
improve on nature by compelling
the resources to renew and even re.
construct themselves in such a
manner as to serve increasingly
beneficial uses-while the living
waters can be 30 controlled as to
multiply their benefits.
Neither the primitive man nor
i the pioneer was aware of any duty
to posterity In dealing with the re,
Movable resources. When the Am
erican settler felled the forest he
felt that there was plenty of forests
left for the sons who came after
him. When he exhausted the soil
