AN EASTER OF JOY AND SORROW

Easter day will dawn tomorrow on world half
joyous, half Sorrowful. To the Christian peoples
who enjoying peace and to the Christian peoples
who are plunged in war the occasion will have the
same profound meaning and the same wonderful
promise, but it will be observed very differently by
the one than by the other
In lands like ours, at peace with all the world,
Easter will be day of rejoicing The church bells
will have merry sound, and the church music will
inspire cheerful thoughts The streets will be gay
with Easter paraders the fashion show will be
pleasing TO the eyes and will tighten the spirits.
The many colored Easter eggs and the variously
formed Easter candies will afford the gay children
their great annual enjoyment All nature will
rejoice
There are other lands where Easter will not seem
at all like that. In war-wrecked Christian coun-
tries across the sea, where devastation has come
despite the resurrection of the Prince of Peace the
day will be very solemn One,-a very sad one.
The promise of victory over the grave will carry
the thoughts of wives and mothers to their loved
who may be already at the end of their earthly
lives, or who may fall during the future progress
of the war. Prayers that on Easter day go up from
those women, and from the men who are facing
death at the front will be very earnest petitions
Human beings are so constituted that earnestness
is revealed in them principally in times of stress
and distress
Easter this year may have a somewhat deeper
significance for Christian Europeans than it will
have for Americans. Perhaps in the belligerent
countries religious beliefs will signify more to
actual war sufferers on resurrection dav than they
will to compacent, thriving, happy citizens of this
peaceful republic. Yet Easter day will have the
same fundamental meaning wherever Christianity
has spread. No matter if it is observed with Joy
by the fortunate or with sorrow by the unfortu-
nate, it will commemorate that one marvellous hap
pening of gospel record without which, according
to st. Paul, Christian faith would be vain

Ionaue-End Topics
The Origin of the Easter Bonnet

A long long time ago, in the forest
of Aavon, all the rabbits for miles
around assembled under the Great Oak
ON Easter Even to discuss their plans
for the coming of the great annual fes-
tival. All the mother and father rab-
bits with their families gathered
around and many were the plans made
and suggestions offered. They decided
that the human children should have
more occasion than ever to enjoy them
selves. They decided that the nests
should be more numerous and the eggs
more brightly colofed than ever be-
fore. Now in this great gathering were
many beaux and bellies who were given
the task of distributing the eggs, and
great was the rivalry among them, for
it was considered an honor to have
the greatest number of nests TO one s
credit. The eggs were all brought to
the Great Oak and a list of the places
named where the nests were to be con-
cealed.

Rachael Rabbit a Diplomat

He filed all his pockets and then his
cap and seampered off to Rachael s
home. She received him with a de-
lighted cry when she saw the number
of beautifully eolored eggs that he had
brought and glowed with enthusiasm
when he declared he meant to help her
win the prize. But alas-the course of
true love never did run smooth, for at
this moment in rushed Bunny Rabbit
with as many eggs and equal enthusi-
asm. The fair Rachael received him
with much warmth which so peeved the
ardent Billy that he rushed at Bunny
and in words stern and harsh and bade
him depart and take his collection of
eggs with him. Now Rachael was a
diplomat and knowing that if she could
make peace between her lovers that
she would have twice the number of
eggs and even greater chance to win
the prize.

Peace-maker Suffers

But the angry cousins were not so
easily subdued, their voices rose to
shouts, blows were exchanged and the
lovely Rachael was in the throes of dis
pair. AS climax to the fight they be-
gan hurting the Easter eggs at each
other which so shocked the gentle Ra-
chael that she rushed between them
begging them to stop. But alas-the
poor peace-maker! She received blows
intended for each other and fell faint
ing to the floor in the midst of all the
pretty broken Easter eggs. Billy and
Bunny were so ashamed that after re-
viving her and begging forgiveness,
which was freely given, they went
sadly to their homes leaving poor
Rachael holding her wounded head.

Princess Fredericka of Brunswick and Lunenburg
has Joined with the good bishop in declaring him
to be an ideal husband for any swell-bred, cultured
woman who is healthy, cheerful and preferably not
over thirty years of age" the wonder grows as to
why such perfectly desirable "catch" could so
long have been overlooked by the designing
mammas with eligible daughters who live in Barrie
Ontario, the home of the lonely rector.
There must be very good reason for the
singleness of this Canadian clergyman-hs name
is not revealed in the newspaper accounts, though
his address is given as Post Office box 701, Barrie
Ontario"
Can it be possible that the bachelors of Barrie
so far outnumber the unmarried females that there
is chance for perfectly good minister to become
husband in his own home town.
Perhaps the salaries they pay to elergymen in
Barrie-goodness knows they are far below what
they ought to be in other places,-are so meager
that the idea of becoming minister's wife there
holds out the prospect of so much drudgery that
the Barrie mammaS are not enthusiastic about
rifcing their daughters to anything of the kind.
Or, perhaps, the Barrie clergyman is one of those
hopelessly bashful souls who hasn't got the nerve
to propose to a girl; though that seems hardly
likely to be true of man who welcomes the oppor
tunity of publishing his matrimonial ambitions ON
the front page of the New York newspapers
Whatever is the reason this young clergyman has
failed thus far to get wife bring cheer into his
ife hope if he is all the good bishop says he is
that the loneliness of his bachelorhood may not be
of much longer duration. Perhaps some Harrisburg
girl who is cultured, cheerful and not over thirty"
may see herein an opportunity.

EASTER PARCEL POST BUSINESS

1t is not too much to presume that Uncle Sans
parcel post service will have lot to do with this
years observance of Easter. The general public
has been using the parcel post more extensively
with each succeeding year, and has now discovered
apparently that the mails be used very con-
venienty in the Easter celebration.
The parcel post business in this city just now is
reported to be reaching large proportions 1t was
even found necessary yesterday that the holiday
be curtailed five hours in order to accommodate
senders of Easter packages
The parcels, it may be readily surmised, contain
candies of the forms and flavors peculiar to the
Easter season. The contents may vary, but they
are no doubt principally sweets. With Easter are
associated inseparably chocolate bunnies and eggs
and other candies, and these have now found in the
parcel post very suitable means of transportation.
When souvenir postcards at the height of
their popularity these missives crowded the mails
at Easter time, conveying best wishes to and from
separated friends and relatives. Candies, too, were
sent through the mails but not to any overwhem-
ing extent because OF the rather high rates of post
age under the old plan before the parcel post. The
cost of carriage would not mfrequently reach half
the value of the candies.
Now although the postcards still are plentiful
they do not constitute all of the Easter mail The
parcels make up a large part. The governments
low priced carrying service has apparently encour-
aged the sending of Easter candies through the
mail. Surely every one will agree that such en-
couragement is fitting and proper, for who, espe-
cially among the kiddies would not prefer candies
to poscardsq
1t is rather hard Uncle Sam s employees that
they must anticipate rush prior to Easter as well
as before Christmas, although the mail, of course
is not nearly heavy at this season as at the Yule
tide.
