Letters From the People
Where Harris Lives.
the Editor of The News:

10 Lub Ol lI6 N6WS.
 Dear Sir As I have written several letters to your paper, may l presume to tell your readers something about my home city, Two Harbors? This hustling, progressive little port city of 5000 pop ulation is situated on the north shore of Lake Superior, the worlds most beauti. ful inland sea, and it requires no stretch of imagination to certify this statement. It has fine harbOrs aud ships, large amount of ore, lumter and pulp wood. There are over 19,000 cords of pulp wood at our docks awaiting shipment to the eastern mills. A large quantity of fish is taken from the Lake every winter by local fishermen, and sometimes two or three carloads a week are shipped from here and these are not all of its indus tries. It has fine buildings and places of business, such as a splendid court house, library, a fine Y. M. O. A. build ing with over 1000 members, several fine churches, two department stores, any number of small ones two hospiF tals, one of which is J. D. Budd's, my present home ; a steam laundry, cigar factory, good water and light plant. owned by the city. Its police and fire departments are o. K.; Government lighthouse and wireless station postal bank, state bank and a commercial bank It has seven hotels, dozen sa- looms. each paying $l 900 license, but this has always been very orderly and law. abiding city. It has 8 county fair and poultry show every fall. The Du- luth and Iron Range R. R. has its car shops here and these give employment to many workmen. I nearly forgot the ball club, and they are "it' and then some. There are many fraternal orders and lodges here. In summer this is very pleasant place, with it's water front, we'll kept and pleasant streets it's lake shore drives, it's autos, and it's motor boats on the lake are sure to please the crowds that come here in the summer to enjoy themselves. So if you, MT Editor, ever come thls way, drop off right here if you want good time. And to think where Two Harbors is sit uated. Thirty years ago it was a vii. derness. This is surprising. This city has as manly boys and as pretty girls as any place in the state, and by the help of it's law-abiding and industrious clti- zens predict a bright future for this little lakeport city. OHAs. A. HARRIS.
 Two Harbors, Minn.

Puzzled the Lawyer.

A daily newspaper tells the st ory of a lawyer who received a call from new client, man bent upon recovering a sum of money advanced upon n note and not repaid.
 "Who is the debtor?" asked the law. yer.
 "Oh, she's relative of mine"
 "How nearly related?"
 "Very nearly"
 But my dear sir" persisted the law yer, you must be more explicit"
 Well, she may be my mother.in. .law.H
 May be? Then you are likely to mar ry her daughter"
 i've already married her daughter. '"
 Then of course the defendant is your mother.in. law"
 Perhaps you'd better hear the whole story" returned the client. You see, a year ago we lived together, my son and 1. Across the way lived the widow Eos ter and her daughter Mary. l married Mary, and my son married the widow. Now perhaps you can tell me whether my sons wife is my mother-in law or my daughter-in.l .law?"
 The lawyer did not answer. The pro- blem was unfamiliar. He was not ready.
 "I-don't think can take your oase," he said. "It presents too many comph- cations"
 "Very we'll, returned the man taking his hat, despondently. But there's one thing forgot. Since our double we'd ding a child has been born tC each of us. What relation are those two children to each other?'

LIFE'S PURPOSE.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

Oh why are we ever rebellious
 When we know that finally Our trials will reveal their mission
 And give to us victoryi As often before we have found it,
 Our triumphs oft come through tears, So if we stand true and are faithful,
 Blessings will come with the years. The Grand Architect of earth's kingdom Plans all with consummate care, And out of His infinite wisdom
 Apportions to each share. We are where we are for a purpose,
 Every thing is for the best, And joy beyond our comprehension
 Is ours if we can stand the test

The Risen Christ's Easter Message

Jerusalem. On this Easter morn from Beth

nation | would call upon all the followers of
the Christ to obey him and enter into the
Masters work OF winning the world for their
Lord. AS he commanded, so I would urge that
you obey his cali to evangelize the world with
the gospel. enlist disciples for his service and
educate all believers to be obedient to whatso-
ever our Lord has commanded. The Christian
conQuests of The centuries, the marvellous mis-
sionary awakening of Christendom preparing
to conquer the world for the glory OF Christ
by the conservation Of men and means aid by
the cooperation of the Christian forces under
the leadership of the Holy Spirit is one of the
many modern testimonies of the power of the
risen Lord that is leading the hosts OF God on
to complete the triumph OF Christ when he re-
vealed on resurrection morn his power over
life and death.
The religion of Jesus contains the only hope
for the world. His is the only religion that
meets the needs of all men. He is the only
founder OF a religion that has risen from the
dead and offers everlasting life TO all. lie, us

display and how far back, IN point of time,
have extended the preliminaries for the burst
of glory. Milady may not even realize that
the milliners who did" her hat have been
working literally night and day for a fortnight
before Easter and that the delivery boy who
distributed the CONNECTIONS Of lace and rib
bons, had precious little sleep on Easter eve.
But the trail of preparation goes yet farther
back. 1t extends as far as fascinating Paris,
where all the styles originate and where the
ammunition for the Easter broadside was a
matter of concern to hundreds of designers and
seamstresses and bonnet makers and flower
workers in the days when you and l were busy
with Christmas preparations. There is usually
at least three or four months between the in

The message of Easter is Identical with the
truth that each Lords day proclaims to men
the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The central
thought of the apostles ministry was the
resurrection OF their Lord and Saviour. II has
been the dominant theme of every gospel mes
sage. The risen Christ's first communication
was sent 10 his discouraged disciples that they
might rejoice because he was risen from the
dead.
Does Easter find you discouraged? Have
you made a bad investment Of your life and
labor? Are you disturbed as to the future?
Has death terror for you? Then let us rejoice,
for Christ has won a victory for us. Let US
give thanks because he is risen. His resurrec-
ton contains the promise of our endless life.
IL Is also prophetic of the Christians resurrec-
ton when Jesus shall come again. The hopes
of eternal life should inspire us With a dynamic
force by which We can. through the presence
and power OF our risen Lord, rise above the
difficulties, discouragements and defeats of this
present age. His resurrection has solved our
problem. removed sin and burdens that have
filled us with despair. and turned our apparent
defeats into one glorious triumph. The gospel
of the resurrection proclaims a victory OF re-
generation over degeneration, of construction
over reformation. of life over death. that
Christ has secured for every creature that will
believe on him as their risen Saviour.
To the disciple that denied him early on
Easter morn Christ sent a message that re-
called Peter TO his service. Have you been
following Christ afar off? Has your life been
married by sin? Have you denied your Lord?
IL so. Easter has a message for you. Repent.
return TO your Lord and then you will rejoice
that he is risen and he will restore unto you
the Joy OF your salvation.
The last message that the Master gave 10
his disciples was delivered rear Bethany. while

realized that 1t Is virtually a standof between
those who walk and those who ride.
In point OF numbers participating, easily the
greatest Easter fashion parade in America is
that which takes place on this eventrul day on
the Boardwalk at Atlantic City. People flock
from all sections of the country to the New Jer-
sey resort. They come, many of them will tell
you, because Atlantic City Is supposed to have
a mild and equable spring climate, but the real
reason in most instances Is a realization that
the natural study of mankind is man" and
tnat here may be found a greater assemblage
OF representatives OF the human race than at
any otner Easter mecca on this side OF the At
iantc- Ihere are sometimes as many as 100, 900
people in the Easter parade at Atlantic CITY
and they devote themselves to marching and
countermarching on that fye-mile elevated
esplanade because there is little else to do at
Atlantic City at Easter when II is. of course
too cold for sea bathing.
The Atlantic City parade OF fashion starts in
the morning, though it is not timed to accord
With church services. for the simple reason
tnat only a small propo rtion of the Easter Wis
ltors TO Atlantic City take time to attend dt
vine worship on this day of days. Instead thew
spend their time on the great wooden high
or riding in those odd and law
wheeled chairs pushed by porters or propelled
by tricycles. At Atlantic City also there is an.
other fashion parade in the afternoon. though
TO be strictly accurate We should not say AN
other" In reality it Is a continuation NJ tho
same grand march of the gaudy dressers. How
any OF them manage to get lunch is a mystery.
ior the crowd on the boardwalk never suffers
any ammunition from mid morn to dusk, and in
deed this spectacular continuous performance
even goes on after the electric bulbs are sglow
and Easter promenaders in other cities have
long since sought their own fresides.

realization OF the dream" in America and con-
sequently American dressmakers and milliners
were paying hundreds OF dollars for advance

furtive peeps at the new Easter hats ere the

most communities. 1t is, for instance, in the
