Some Easter Suggestions.

Don't forget the poor and sick on the
holy day OF Easter.
Don't fail to carry bouquet OF flowers
and a basket Of dainties to some sick
person
Don't go to church to show your new
hat and frock, but go In a true Christian
spirit.
Don't go to church to look at others
new hats and frocks, but to give your as
sistance in the cause of right and truth.
Don't think that merely going to church
makes q Christian You shall be judged
by your own works.
Don't content yourself by doing good
OH Easter only, but continue 10 perform
acts Of charity and kindness throughout
the year.
Don't think that God listens to YOU but
one day of each week. His ears and eyes
are yours every day. and He hceds a
prayer from the earnest heart on week
day as surely as lie heeds ono on a sun
day.

EASTER bells do fill the air:
IL Easter blooms are everywhere;
Easter children, good and sweet.
In country lanes and city street.
For Ger the world on Easter day
Selfishness is cast away;
And hearts respond in songs OF i0vo
To the heavenly choir above.
Little ones, come unto Me-
Did our precious Saviour say;
And to his breast He folds them in.
Projecting them from worldly sin.
So, sing aloud the songs OF praise:
Up to high heaven your voices raise;
Let all take part on Easter day
The sins OF earth to wash away.
