think Easter is one OF the happiest
days of the year. have been in a
good many Easter programs at church
and think they are very nice.
L am really happier on Easter than
I am on Christmas because always
think that If it had not have been for
this day that we should never have
known the blessed hope of everlasting
life.
hope that every little boy and girl
who reads this story will ask. their
mammas to explain Easter to them
so they may thoroughly understand it,.
and try to live the life that leads to
the promise of future in home not
built by hands and there will be no
night there.
$ OF course the other joys Of Easter
are the coloring Of eggs and the help
ing of our little neighbors to find them
in the nests where they are supposed
to have been hidden by the Dummies.
Then, too, we have an extra nice
service on Easter with beautiful songs
that remind us of the risen Savior.

Dorothy and Ranty played little
while and then they asked granny II
they couldn't color eggs and let gran.
ny hide them and then let them find
them.
ITO be sure you can. We will start
coloring them right away" said gran
ny. But just then the door opened and
in fiocked Dorothy's Harold,
Hattie and Joe Whitney and Marion
Ring.
After Dorothy had greeted her
cousins they set to work coloring the
eggs. When they had them colored, the
children went out to play and granny
hid the eggs. When they were hid she
called them in and they set out to find
them.
ooh, granny, I've found an awful
pretty one" cried little Ranty, running
up to her. !.
ITO be sure you have, and you shall
keep IT.
Granny. I've found two right in the
same place." said Marion.
After a while they had all found five
each.
Now, children, it is time to begin
our party"
They played mail, tag, fruit baskets
upset, hide and seek, and no telling
what they didn't play.
Then their dinner was ready. They

cried. 81 see it now. You've asked
them to come-have you dear?"
They'll be here after church-to
have Easter dinner with you,' ex-
planned Mrs. FRANKLIN. Pauline has
long head"
"And the little cousin-who I
thought the dress was being made
for?" asked Mrs. Turner.
"She came with her mother yes
terday." said Mr. FRANKLIN, finding
the first opportunity to speak. "They
are at our house now, but will join us
at our church little later. And-you
shall all come over to our apartment
this evening, for we'll have some fine
Easter music, and you'll enjoy it,
Then there was so much said by
everybody, SO many "God-bless-and-
protect-yous," and so many words Of
gratitude from Mrs. Turner and the
children that 1t would take too much
room to tell Of 1t all in this paper. But
all were as happy on that Easter as
they could possibly be, and as the
Turner's, and their delighted company
sat round the dinner table, Mrs. Tur-
ner said feelingly: Pauline FRANKLIN

all the people in the world were half
as kind and generous-well, there'd be
no misery in our dear Gods world on
this holy Easter day."

DoRoTHYs EASTER PARTY.

Dorothy was planning on going to
grandma's Easter and hoped it would
be nice day. Grandpa was going to
come after her and little Ranty on
Easter morning But Sunday morning
it was raining.
ooh dear" said Dorothy. when nurse
was dressing her, lit is raining so we
can't go"to granny's."
ooh, yes" said nurse, maybe it
will quit raining before time to CO."
This idea cheered Dorothy and she
went about getting ready.
After they had eaten breakfast, Dor
othy and Ranty were gotten ready to
go. When they were all ready and
waiting for grandpa to come the phone
rang. Papa answered it. When he was
through talking he said, Grandpa says
the roads are too muddy for him to
drive in" At this, Dorothy began to
cry and said "Oh, papa, it has to
rain or snow every Sunday or holt
day
Never mind said papa, you shall
go anyway" At this. Dorothy bright
ened up.
"Oh, papa, can we go on the train .
"That's just what you shall. Nurse
can go with you, but we mustn't talk
all day. 1t is only an hour until train
time. Bridget, tell Hawkins to get the
horses and cab ready to take them to
the depot" In fifteen minutes they
were off. When they got to the depot
the train was there. They got on and
started. Then papa phoned to grandpa
and told him to meet them at the train.
When they got to Waverly, grandpa
was there to meet them When they
got to grandma's she was knitting.
Dorothy kissed grandma and then let
her things be taken off. When Dorothy
and Ranty had played until about 3
o'clock new idea struck Dorothy.
"Oh, grandma" she said, "can we
have an Easter party?"

WHY WE CELEBRATE EASTER.

After the crucifixion Of Christ he
was laid in a tomb near Calvary. The
chief priests said it has come to our
minds that Jesus said that he would
rise on the third day, so they wanted
men to watch the tomb for fear some
of his friends would. come and steal
him and then. 60 and say that he had
risen from the dead. So they went
and put seal of wax on the tomb and
set men to watch it. But that night
God sent down an angel and he came
and rolled back the stone from the
door. On the first day Of the week
three women, friends of Jesus, came
