ton of chief interest. Their offering
is a round Of operate numbers, de-
lightfully rendered In an old Spanish
setting and with appropriate costum-
ing. One OF their best numbers Is
the barcarole from The Love Tales
of Hoffman" which Is given In
French. Antonio Frascona gives one
of the best renditions of the toreador's

ing question. What's the use" turks
in wait for us at every obstacle in the
road. Did we not believe in what lies
on the other side, though unseen, we
would turn back like Pliable from our
miry Slough Of Despond.
Take away temporal hope from q
man, from a nation-what follows?
For the man encouragement, inertia,
despair, then uselessnessi for the ma
ton disintegration, How much farth-
er reaching in its efeCtI for i'll is a
hopelessness that this Iough earthly
path leads to eternal life.
Are we discouraged today? Have
the worries of the money-troubled
winter hit us hard? Have We trials
that none but ourselves may know,
the more bitter that they must be
hidden? Are we bowed under a
weight Of illness, Of morbid dread Of
the future, that will not lift?
Let the joyous message OF the Eas-
terrible bring healing. Hope is h.ing
voiced on every side today, in the
swelling notes of the organ, in the
soaring voices Of choir and chorister,
in the inspiring message that is pro
claimed from every Christian pulpit
in the land. 1t but remains for us
to reach not for that hope and make
it our own t loosen the sOrdid, de-
pressing earth cords that have US
tightly bound.
The joyousness of Easter. Alas, for
the woman who cannot feel it; who
is not lifted out of herself today.
What though the old gloom returns.
Is it not something to have stood on
the heights and sung aloud with the
JOY of living; to have seen the sun
piercing the clouds, to have caught a
glimpse of the radiance beyond? New
er again will the blackness be so
dense, for is there not the hope of
that joyous day when the sunlit
heights will be ours, to inspire US to
keep on climbing.
Let US not be content to keep the
seasons Joy in our hearts. Real Joy
usnes must find an outlet, in CHEEKY
greeting, in forgetfulness of old grud-
ges, in taking brightness into the
lives of those who may be shut out
from it. Wear your Easter flower,
typical of hope, be heartened by the
Easter message, but share both flower
and message with those whose need Of
cheer may be greater far than yours.
