i Making a Composite Nation.
1T was a strong race-one Of the
strongest that has gone 10 the making OF
this now composite nation, in which 1t is
beginning to be hard to trace the several
threads that have been woven on the
loom of time into the fabric. Students
Of history and ethnology have sometimes
been inclined TO wish that each stock OF
settlers in North America--Scot and irish
and German and Scandinavian-had each
taken a region to itself, in which Its tndi-
yiduality could have been developed un-
der new conditions into some new form, in
which the old character would not have
been lost. But perhaps the mixture OF all
together into one vast nation gives more
flexibility and versatility to the action
and makes 1t filter to meet all the vary
ing calls of civilization that grows al
ways more complex.

and resolute and able to inspire others

The Glorious Day.

Easter is the Emancipation Ami
versary of the Christian world-the
one day of all the year, next to the
Advent, that is the most glorious and
worthy of signal remembrance. 1t
brings with it a new inspiration of
faith in God and of perfect assurance
in His love for the children of men.
Every swelling bud and sprouting
leaf reminds us that the life which
conquers death in natures realm has
its parallel in the Resurrection
that great central fact of Christian
ity-in which we have the assurance
of our own spiritual revivification.
Christ in us becomes the vitalizing
force which lifts us from the dark
ness of sin and death unto light and
life everlasting,
This old world of ours needs more
Easter cheer. 1t needs to realize that
the risen Christ and the empty tomb
have for the whole race grander
and higher significance than any 9TH
er event since time began. 1t needs
to feel that the defeat of King Death
and the triumph of King Jesus over
the grave, have thrown open the
gates of life and happiness to all who
will enter therein, 1t needs to grasp

The Joy and Beauty of Death.
On Easter the one duty of the hour
is to make death beautiful and bright
for all young hearts and for all aged
ones. Birth is the great mystery.
That man should be born at all, and
come singing, bounding, laughing,
working and loving into the scene,
stirs the note of wonder. That man
should continue to live is a little
thing. but that man should begin to
live is a great thing. Nothing is cas-

however, evidences of growth in

the imperishable truth that, when the
Son of God burst the bars of death
and the grave, He revealed the way
of life eternal to all who accept Him
and follow in His footsteps. His res
direction was the divine pledge of
our own, and the soul that rests upon
Him has already risen from the dead
ness of sin and begun the life ever
lasting. For such, the grave is not
an abiding place, but the vestibule of
the greater and nobler life beyond.
