children.
Bur what have eggs to do with Easter:
! WY do the children paint the eggs, and
why do they keep them: Think a min
ute and YOU viii see that the egg shows
Ill very simple way how life conceals
itself and reveals itself. If you had never
seen an egg before, you would say
that it was a pretty oval pebble of
white stone. But when you know about
eggs YOU know that in the white
stone Life is concealed You know
| that when the time comes n little
chick will breal; the walls of his prison
IN tho egg, that the shell will break off
and the chick will come forth alive So
| the egg becomes a simple type of resur-
rectlon from the tomb.
And the reason why your sister Mary
painted pretty butterfly on the egg is
that the butterfly comes out alive from
the cocoon, or chFySalis, which seemed
yesterday anything but a butterhy-it
seemed dirty brown wad on the side
OF fence perhaps, but Mary knew that
me cocoon would some day be alive or
/ would break open and show the beauti-
ful butterfly which had lain there I'M
conscious. Once the pretty butterfly was

| Cannot you and |, when the Easter
season comes around, make all its memo
RES and all its ceremonies help us in
living the larger life? We 90 back to
the morning when the sad heart broken
women found that the stone was rolled
away from the mouth of the sepulcher.
and we find that that morning a new
life begun for the world. We read in
our Bibles carefully and eagerly about
the Marys and about the walk with
Jesus TO Emmaus and about the COM
pany who met Him by the LAX, shore.
But it is not they only whose life is
enlarged. As it has proved, the new
birth of The world began then. And if
you and use our Easter memories
rightly-ges, if the children can feel that
this is not only frolic, but larger life
out of which the frohc is born-so much
the bette" for all of us.
do not like TO have people talk and
sing as if the memories of Easter be
longed only to funerals When the
Savior says, Il have come that they
might have life and that they might
have it more abundantly," He does not
mean merely that He must make them
feel sure of future life. He means
to enlarge everybody's life now where
everybody lives. Did not Peter and An
drew know what life more abundant
meant as soon as they had talked with
Him? l am glad to have people live as
immortals live; and what He wanted
was that you and | should live as inn
mortals live. People tell me that capital
lists do not like to invest money unless
it is going to bring them in profit with
in the next ten years. That may be true
of capitalists who know nothing except
about the counters which we call money.
But what Jesus Christ promises you and
me is that we may have more life today
and tomorrow and every day, if only we
will live as immortals live. He is not
satisfied with telling us at an open
grave that he who did inhabit that body
is to live a life where we do not see
him. He wants that you and | shall
live more on Tuesday than we lived Oh
| Monday. That is what He says to
Peter and Andrew and Salome and Dor
cas- and you and me. lie says that this
is a part of heaven and that our Father
in heaven is here We can find Him
if we seek for Him with all our hearts,
: and He will speak to us if We will
listen to Him. Our lives enlarge them
selves as soon as we enter on the serv-
vice which is perfect freedom, or as
soon as we feel that real presence of the
Living God.-Edward Everett Hale iii

, Laws IN the Home.
, Let them be few in number, and none
of them so infexible that you must be
deaf to a plea for mercy. Discipline is
: good but in the home there should al
ways be love mingled with it. Do not
think that your children are SC many
: candles all cast in the same mold. Re
} member that the father and mother did
= NOT come from the same ancestry, and
t the blending of their unlike attributes is
not perfect in one child. DO not set
yourself up as an example for him to
| follow if you would not wish him to
5 model his conduct through life after
/ your own. He may be shown the evil
. consequences of sin and weakness, but
; he should not be led to think that he
= is the only sinner. Severe punishment
for disobedience or other offenses, teach
a children to conceal their wrongdoings,
} and so set up a barrier between them
! and their parents. 1t is never safe to
) LET your child feel that you are not his
! friend: so, no matter what he has done,
: tell him to always feel free to come to
, YOU with the disagreeable truth about
, it. without fear of seeing you stare in
+ reproach, or hearing you preach ser
! mon, or intiict penalty. DO not at
that time, when he is so sensitive to
YOUR every word or look, add to his hurt
= in any way If he needs kind advice or
q some help give it to him as wisely as
: YOU can. If a man incurs legal pen

J hires a wise friend and adviser who

and brain. So. for a retainer of love, be
the council of your child, whether his
u sin may be the theft of a sweetmeat at

y have kept close to him all his life, the
Z graved offenses will not have to me met.
All true discipline comes from within,
