setting forth as it does the miracle of

Easter means much more than the
time for special music and sermons,
flowers and new clothes. It marks the
anniversary Of the dawning of a new
life, new promise and new hope for
mankind, and its significance is as i'm
portant today as it was centuries ago,
With the newness. freshness and hap
piness of Eastertide there should be
new awakening. While nature is
preparing to burst forth in the glad
spring time It is also time for hu-
mainly to east aside misgivings, buckle
on the armor of faith and prepare tn
maintain throughout the year the spir-
it of Easter, in all things.

than that at Brownsville and there is
every reason for believing that he will
be able to handle the threatened trou-
BILE with like skill. In the Philip
pines and at Vera Cruz. even though
at the latter place he was working
under instructions, he left no doubt
that he understands the requirements
in taking care of the interests Of his
country and it's people
The task Of maintaining order on
the southern boundary is by no means
a simple one. IT in the first place
covers q long distance and it means
the dealing with forces which are OPP
posing each other rather than one
enemy which is operating against this
country. It is the task OF preventing
firing across the border which but for
the fact that 1t was struggle to con-
troll border cities on the other side
would not concern this country.
From the record Of General Fun
ston there is the best assurance that
he will get in touch with those on
the other side and set forth the re-
auirernents Of this country in a man
ner which will not be misunderstood.
The responsibility of a free hand will
be wisely used.
