1t was that way. And she was SO

He kept one promise and rose, by
Himself, after He'd been made quite

they sing hee-u-tiful songs bout He

new, pretty clothes"
"Oh, my!" said Little Playmate,
looking down at her shabby skirts
and bare little feet.
And everybody sends pretty COL
ored eggs round to folks they like.
Some little children say, Christ is
risen! to their mamma and papa
when they see them first that morn
ing. Then the mamma and papa
kiss them and say, He is risen, in
deed!' Oh, it's lovely And we
give Easter presents-cards and
books and candies!"
"Oh, my!" said Little Playmate.
Just then the man came after Lima,
and when she had reached her moth
er's room she sat down upon the foot
stool beside her and together they
talked it all over. And together they
planned-Lina and her dear mamma.
The outcome of the planning was
this: The very next day Lima went
to Little Playmate's log cabin with a
| very large parcel, which she gave to
| Little Playmate's mother.
Won't you please take it, Mrs.

bout how Jesus rose from the dead

So We'll have real Easter. And

it's inside the parcel-inviting you
and Hannah and all the rest to come
over and help make our Easter

"Oh, my!" said Little Playmate.
And cause twas fifteen hundred
years ago that people began to wear
something new for Easter, mamma al

wear then. So she let me bring some
of my new things over to Hannah.

the Immortality of the soul-the be-
lief which, most of all, makes life
valuable; the hope which helps men
forward from day to day, and cheers
them as they toll on the monotonous
plane Of routine and materialism.
For always before their eyes CLEANS
the rosy-tipped peak which tells Of
purer heights, and which shines al
ways with the radiance of a sun en-
tirely submerged from the mortal

thoughtful think of the glorious prom
ise of the life to come, made certain
through the Resurrection. Nature is
alive with the glad tidings of life re-
vived. After slumbering for months
under frost and snow, with the ap-
proach of the gentle spring there is a
great quickening. To natures anal
ogy add the truth of revelation, and
mans hope for life beyond is assured.

longing for immortality is inherent.

these human weaknesses and imper-
fections are all overcome. Then the
church Will take possession of society;
then superstitions and inconsistencies
Will vanish and we shall have the
ideal in character and in civilization.
The best We can do for the world to-
day is to emphasize the life of Christ.
We .canot render any more effective
services than to enlarge the influences
which the church has already started
and which for lack of means is too
feebly conducts. Criticize Christians
and the church as we may, they are
today the best in the world.-Rev.
DR.. Johnston Myers. Baptist. Chicago.
WHAT THE CHURCH STANDS FOR.
The church is not a building or
system of dogmaS or scheme of
salvation. 1t is a body of people unit
ed by their love of God and for man
in acts of worship and OF service. In
these times it should allow for divided
interests and admit that moral, benev-
client, public spirited lives can be lived
by persons who do not care for the
church. Yet all men would do better
to cultivate the church and to mold it
according to the worlds present needs.
1t is interested in what concerns men
today and in one way or another has
the power to produce earnest, pro-
gressive, useful lives. It's chief aim is to
cultivate character by the Inspiration
of worship and truth. 1t helps you.
1t leads you to help others. Join it
''for their sake" In order to be most
widely influential amid the sorrows
and wrongs of today let the church
hold itself Independent of all parties,
all social groups. Let 1t go deeper into
life than charities and keep itself
larger than-all reforms, being the NOR
al power behind all reformers and
their differing ideas. The church is
to teach the live worlds teachers and
inspire all heroes to their work. 1t
lives in the conduct rather than in
the hearts of its members. Only as
goodness increases in individuals can
the social order be made better. So
the quick and reasonable way for the
church to improve the world is right
at our hands. We are to begin at
home, make ourselves nob1er, inspire
one another to grander ideals and
more helpful conduct, and so begin to
mold the world into goodness, justice,
right for all.-Rev. Charles E. st.
John, Unitarian, Philadelphia.

air around it, Truth soon makes a
clearing in the forests of unbelief.

inherit the earth Rev. Dr. Charles
Edward Locke, Methodist, Los Ange-
les, Cal.
EFFECT OF SELFISHNESS.
Self love is different from selfishness.
Love OF self is a duty, but selfishness
is sin. Selfishness leads a man to
think only of himself and to trample
upon the rights of others.-Rev. w. G.
partridge. Pittsburg.
OUR MORAL HABITAT.
To lie down and sleep in snow
bank Is no more perilous to health
tnan bad company and unholy places
are TO morals and character. Our en-
moral habitat.-Rev. DR.. John Thomp-
son. Methodist Episcopal, Chicago.
RELIGIONS FUNCTION.
1t is not the function of religion to
make people alike. as we once sup
posed. but to give them the right kind
OF unlikeness-to take out of their
unlikeness that element that causes
hatred and antagonism and to substi-
tute in its place sympathy, charity,
cooperation and love.-Rev. E. STAN
ton Hodgin, Unitarian. Los Angeles,
RIGHT USE OF WEALTH.
The river of wealth is as potential
for good as for evil. Let all, therefore,
endeavor to turn this mighty tide into
the broad channels of human need
for everything liveth whittier the river
cometh. Then the great ministry of
wealth will not be to turn the world
into wilderness, but the wilderness
into the garden of the Lord.-Rev. Ed
win Whittier Caswell, Methodist Epis-
copal, Brooklyn.
GREATEST FRATERNAL ORGANI
ZATION.
The greatest fraternal organization
in the world is the church. Even in
its imperfections it is doing more Tor
humanity than any other organization.
If it becomes nodded after the thought
of Christ, its founder, there will be no
need of any other social or fraternal
organization. He himself made pro-
vision for a time when the church
shall be without spot or blemish or
wrinkle or any such thing" when

ducts, and in putting the interest OF
the consumer at least on parity
with that of the producer, if not above
it.
The leaven of the gospel is at work
to all these ends. In China, few weeks
ago they tried to secure the same re-
suits by riots. Because heathendom is
cruel and selfish and careless of the
poor, the famine region about Ching
sha had witnessed a corner" in rice.
Famine prices are a grim reality in
heather lands. at times when the
Christian way would be to distribute
food at lowest cost. In order to at
tract the attention of the central gov
eminent to their plight, these Chinese
attacked the property of foreigners,
and an international episode has re-
suited. Thus the newspaper illumi-
mates the contrast between the heath
en- way and the Christian way.
The Worlds Deep Needs.
Back of the miracle of the multi
piled loaves and fishes, we all see the
picture of the Master feeding hungry
hearts. The worlds deepest need is
not for food. Poverty is not the root
i'll. nor yet is wealth. Look upon peo-
pie as we know them, and we find
them the victims of a great restless
ness and vague desire. The world is
madly running to and fro, seeking TO
satisfy wants which 1t does not UNI
derstand Therefore we have the in
crease in the number of places of
amusement. the new forms of diver
sion, the changing fashions, the swift
er social pace. the whole Vanity Fair
of today
After all and after all, what peo-
pie need is to sit. as did those Call
can peasants of old. at the feet of
Jesus, and to hear his soft voice, and
to feel his tender touch. and to be
fed with the bread of heaven. The
need for daily food is constantly re-
curing; even so the greater need for
a plenishing of spiritual food. For
its health and growth and sanctifca-
ton, humanity needs to be turning
daily to Him who satisfies.

For he has to go forth against in

the best trained brain and the stoutest
heart.
Party regularity is responsible for
most of the present political irregular

The stress which Christian Endeavor
has laid upon the good citizenship has
been of incalculable Influence in the
new and livelier sense of civic obliga-
ton which prevails in this our day.
A strong body of young men have TAX
en- up the duty of citizenship in a
quiet, careful thorough manner
that has effected results. Some of
these have gone into public life: all
of them have made themselves a
force for righteousness. So they may
fairly be rated as one of the distinct
achievements of the Christian Endeav-
or movement.
