why DO We eat eggs at Easter?
Rather, why do we eat more eggs
then than on any other sunday?
Really. though. that doesn't mat
ter. It's long and technical story,
anyway. the fact remains that
we do associate together eggs and
Easter, and The rabbit that lays the
Easter eggs or course, If there is a
Santa Claus and there is-thcre Is
also rabbit that lays Easter eggs.
And there is that night before Easter
lust the same as there is the night
before Christmas.
Nevertheless. don't you remember
how YOU used to grow skeptical about
the rabbit laying the Easter eggs
You know good and well that you
used to ransack the managers In the
old log barn where the hens used
to hang out FOR the very purpose OF
stealing out the eggs. In fact MD
in'aigs fer Easter" used TO be an an
nunl event. That is. provided you
grew up in community out In the
country where there We're II other
boys Of just about your size, having
lust about the same thoughts and
without about the same proclivities of
meanness digging away at their life's
blood Almost any community fur
nshes that requisite number OF
youths in order that the one with the
vilost thoughts may contaminate and
defile the high ideals Of the more
righteous Of the gang
And 1t was not less than couple
of weeks before Easter that every
mothers son Of you was pilferlng the
hens nests and purloining the fruit
found therein. II was not because
the folks wouldn't give you all ths
eggs you wished for at Easter. You
knew Il wasn't. II was the spring oi
the year and every old hen worth Q
cackle was laying her daily contribu-
! ton in the manger In the barn, In the

Pastor Of Mount oIiVst Baptist Church
IN New York 10 One Of the Nest Ae-
tive UpIiftsrs Of He couHtFymsn.
EnIiVsnod Life Of His Church Won
dsrfuIIy.
New York-ReE. Dr.. ". P. Hayes,
one Of the most scholarly and progress
sive Of the younger school Of preach
ers, celebrated his third anniversary as
the pastor Of Mount oliyet Baptist
church with appropriate and special
anniversary exercises, Sunday, May IL.
The day was notable in the history OF
the church, and the exercises were the
most brilliant seen in connection with
it's history. DR.. Hayes anniversary
was celebrated In connection with the
thirty-sixSh anniversary Of the church
and during the long history Of the
congregation 1t has never been in bet
ter condition than at the present time.
During the three years passionate OF
DR.. Hayes he has brought about com
plete reformation In the life of the
church. until today the new features
inaugurated by DR.. Hayes make Mount
OIiyet Baptist church one Of the most
thoroughly modern churches conducted
by the race in this country. DR.. Hayes
came to OIivet when 1t was pass
ing through crucial period and wher
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1914-05-30

wise and executive leadership was
needed to bring about harmony and
good viii. Among the new reforms
that DR.. Hayes has perfected that have
given the church a distinctive tone In
the city is the carrying out Of system
that has to do with the proper handling
Of the finances. This system Is ar
ranged after the most approved inan-
cial system now In vogue in the most
progressive churches Of the country.
The various departments Of the
church at the close of the year must
submit their budgets to the pruden-
tial committee. this committee refers
it to the joint board and the board
passes 1t to the corporation for ap-
prevail This method is doubtless the
most modern method Of handling the
finances Of the church Of any system
In this city. All moneys raised in every
one Of the church departments are
turned over to the trustees and can be
drawn only on a written order from
the trustees. This system enables the
church to properly account for all
money raised. DR.. Hayes church has
abolished the old custom of the table
collection. Collection now is made In
from eight to ten minutes and with
less confusion. The winning power Of
DR.. Hayes as preacher Is seen in the
splendid manner In which IN the short
space OF three years he has added over
100 members to the church and raised
$32,156.S0. He has conducted 162 fu-
neral services, preached 466 sermons
and delivered a number Of lectures.
Eighty-1ve couples have been united
In matrimony by DR.. Hayes, and be
has paid 1S5 sick calls. Many i'm
provements have taken place since his
paStOrate, and the church today is
thoroughly organized and united.
DR.. Hayes. since coming TO this city,
has won the confidence and esteem OF
the entire public, irrespective Of denomi-
nation, and Is one Of the most forceful
and highly respected elerUmen in the
uplift Of the race
The Rev. W. p. Hayes was born In
Granville county, N. c., and is the son
OF the Rev. W. p. Hayes, one OF the
