Irish Easter Memories.

The beautiful old legend of the sun dancing
Easter Sunday morning IS nowhere more tena-
ciously and lovingly chung to than in Ireland
Where is the Irishman who cannot recall in his
childhood days getting up early Easter Sunday
morning and stealing out to the hillside the
meadow by the river to see the sun dancing in the
heavens! The writer does not know where this
beautiful idea originated, but it surely had some
connection with that GROWING glory of mother
church--the resurrection of our Savior.
And where is the Irish heart that does not re
call the trustful simplicity in which in these days
of loyal faith and happy innocence we believed we
the sun dancing In the sky the Easter
morning in far-away Ireland, and how as we gazed
our hearts went up, with the song of the skylark.
sunward, freighted with faith and homage to the
Creator
To many all Irish memory comes back too on
these Eastern Sunday mornings, the beauty of an
Irish sunrise. This subject naturally recalls the
beautiful words of John Boyle O'Reilly regarding
that voyage years ago which the ship that was
bearing him from captivity to freedom passing
the Irish coast:
Il went on deck and walked with the pilot for
time. The sun was low in the west, and a heavy
bank of clouds had risen slowly from the horizon
obscuring its light. But from behind the dark
cloud the bright rays fell down upon the sea-
where is the nearest part of Ireland" | asked
There it is, sir said the rough old pilot pointing
to the westward. There it is, sir, under the sun,
Dublin Bay is just in there
"The simple words went to my heart like knife
Under the SUM- Ali but it under the cloud,
too, the cold dark, life-sapping cloud of oppres-
sion | could not see the coast through the gather
ing haze of evening But the rays Of the golden
glory fell down from behind the dark cloud-fell
down like Gods pity the beautiful, tear-stained
face of our poor country-fell down on the dear
familiar places of lost home-on the HILL the
wood the ruin and the river lighting them all once
more with the same heaven tint we loved to watch
long ago."
And so it will be this gladstone Eastertide in
Ireland Little innocent Irish children will arise
early in the morning in the old land to see the
Irish sun dancing. Generations come and go; the
simple faith of the Irish people still remains
The old race itself, alas, is moving rapidly from
its moorings and there is fear in the heart of every
lover of it that the time may come when the Gael
shall be no more in his cradle land. But through
this cloud of apprehension streams the ever-radiant
beam of Irish hope and up like the larks song goes
the aspiration that there may yet dawn Easter
morning when the children of Erin may see the

John o,DREAMs.

What world that was you planned us
Made of Summer and the sea,
Where the very wind that famed us
Drifted down from Already.
There where never Fate might sunder
Rose your castles shining beams.
Are you there today, [ wonder,
John O. Dreams:
That was but trick Life played you
When this planet knew your birth,
When she trapped your soul and made you
One of us on dreary earth.
Since for you what fancies crossed it,
Lures of alien stars and streams;
Have you found the path or lost it,
John O. Dreams!
Just little day in Maytime
Once I took the road with you;
Just boy and girl in playtime
With vision to pursue.

Sometimes that you surely found it,

A NAME IN THE SAND.

Alone | walked the ocean strand;
A pearly shell was in my hand
| stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name-the year-the day.
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind [ cast.
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my little lines away
And so. methought, twill shortly be
With every mark on earth from me;
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
Of time and been to be no more
OF me-my day-the name | bore
To leave no track nor trace.
And yet, with Him who counts the sands
And holds the waters in his hands
/ know lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name
Of all this mortal part has wrought,
Of all this unthinking soul has thought
And from these heeting moments caught
For glory or for shame.

He accordingly went over to the

him up he was confronted by a big

man took to the first tree, which was
a small sapling. Mrs. Bruin sized up
the situation, then deliberately gnaw

VACANT PEW PROBLEM.
An Indiana Man Has Given = Practl-
cal Hint Of Solution.


cal Hint Of Solution.
Indiana, land Of novelties, poets.
and philosophers, and much else in
life that is good and great, is again
in the limelight. A wealthy farmer
out there has presented his pastor
sixty acres of land, valued at s125 per
acre, because he made his sermons
short and to the point. Here is food
for thought for those before the pulpit
as well as those behind. The presen-
tation of this land is equal to a raise
of salary. There is no doubt that
short sermons would help to fill va
cant pews, and possibly Indiana has
started a movement that may become
universal.
The Hoosier State has done many
admirable things besides producing
James Whitcomb Riley. She may be
the means of solving the vacant pew
problem, besides bringing church sal
aries up to a more satisfactory and
Just elevation. Not exactly, the
shorter the sermon the greater the
salary" but, rather, "the longer the
sermon the shorter the salary" Indi-
ana, her pastor, and her farmer are
to be congratulated.
