A PLEA FOR BUNNY.
The Rabbit, Like Santa Claus, Is
Threatened by Modernism.

The Rabbit, Like Santa Claus, Is
Threatened by Modernism.
Now that certain clubs and organiza-
tions are trying TO bring about a gen
eral vote to serve Santa Claus with
notice to quit it looks rs though the
Easter bunny would be sent hopping
after him.
There's something sad in all this at
tack upon the legends of childish days.
Even the good old prayer, Now ! lay
me-" which most of us are sentimental
enough to believe can never be i'm
proved upon, is inveighed against, the
charge being that one line of it Is full
of 'the bugaboo of death" and the rest
Of It too utterly childish"
The Easter bunny seems harmless
enough, and the interest of the chill
dren is so wonderful-the anxiety for
fear that some stupid grown-up may
come along and shut the window down
tight. instead of leaving the necessary
through. and the breathless rush TO
inspect the nests which have been so
mysteriously built In odd corners!
Wonderful eggs are in those nests
pink and lavender. blue and red, with
chocolate for the best of all and a gen
erouS lot of little sugar eggs, the kind
that are speckled all over. filling in
odd corners.
Children aren't always deceived by
these legends, aud the deceit isn't the
kind that does harm any more than a
bit OF poetry does grown-up. It's a
treat to the Imagination, and child's
Imagination Graves its treats as surely
as we older children do.
Leave your window ION a crack" the
night before Easter if there's child
In the house and provide yourself with
plenty Of eggs to help the bunny as
you helped Santa Claus. It's the days
which some mystical parsonage infu-
ences that are the bright particular
memories in later years.-St. Louis

EASTER GLADNESS.

Mary to her Saviour's tomb
Hasted at the early dawn
Spice she brought and rich perfume
But the Lord she loved was gone.
For a while she weeping stood,
Struck with sorrow and surprise,
Shedding tears, plenteous flood
For her heart supplied her eyes.
Jesus who is always near,
Though too often unperceived.
Comes his dropping child to cheer,
Kindly asking why she grieved.
Though at first she knew him not,
When He called her by her name,
When her griefs were all forgot,
For she found He was the same.
Grief and signing quickly fed
When she heard His welcome voice
Just before she thought Him dead,
Now He bids her heart rejoice.
What a change His word can make,
Turning darkness into day,
You who weep for Jesus sake.
He will wipe your tears away.
He who came to comfort her
When she thought her all was lost,
Will for your relief appear,
Though you now are tempest-tossd.
On His word your burden east,
On His love your thoughts employ;
Weeping for while may last.
Rut the morning brings the JOY.
