churches violin solo is now feature Of every

The Easter music in fashionable church ia

The First Easter Day
BY STANLEY WATERLOO.

BY STANLEY WATERLOO.
Never SO sweet hush
In all Judean nights.
Never SO fair a sun
Rose DER Judean Heights,
Never 30 lowering close
Did all of heaven lean
AS when approached the tomb
The weeping Magdalene.
What marvel greets her eyes.
Too tear-bedimmed are they7
Behold no portal barred;
The stone is rolled away
Vacant the sheltering depth
Where he was laid to rest,
Vacant the narrow space
Whereon his body pres't.
Only the cerements white
Where He. the Son, had lain
Only at head and foot
The guarding angels twain.
The guarding angels twain.
OF gentle mien and grave,
To speak of word fulfilled
OF him who died to save.
How spread the mighty truth.
How all the earth OWNED!
What glorious promise kept
The saviour of mankind
And. SO. the world is glad
And men, rejoicing, pray.

REASONED 1T OUT
And Found Change In Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends In thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for 1t. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition. Investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years had been bother
ed great deal after meals. My food
seemed TO lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and I made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food. was responsible
for many Of the ills that human flesh
endures. and that was Furnishing
myself In that way-that was what
was making me SO dull, heavy and un-
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. / concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what It could do for
me.
II have been using It for some
months now, and am glad to say that
do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly. and to do the work for
which It was intended.
II have regained my normal weight,
and find that business is a pleasure
once moroccan take more interest In
It, and my mind is clearer and more
alert"
