CASTERS MEANING
Gods WondrouS Love for His
Children, and the Greatest
of All Miracles.

IVES, it's Easter. Don't you hear the
bells Ginning? The very air
seems charged with enthusiasm.
Even the birds seem to chirrup a new
song, for the whole world is full Of
joy. You smile whether you feel like
it or not, for the smile on every face
you meet challenges you to it. Sure
ly, Easter must mean much to the
world. What does it mean to you?
To some Easter means an excuse to
rival Cleopatra.
That dame of notorious name and
unsavory reputation was an adept in
suggestive dressing. With a wizards
skill she catered to the emotions of
men, toyed with them little and then
abandoned them for more promis-
ing subject for excitement. Mascu-
line conquest is dear to the feminine
heart, and some sweet maids seem un-
conscious Of the price they pay to win.
Compromised modesty is intoxicating
in its appeal, the results are not un-
like in any other intoxiCation. Every
such occasion has its sCbering time,
usually it means consciousness Of loss
and shame. Oh, know that you may
not go the limit. Yet you will not
deny that others will. There will be
grand parades at fashionable resorts
and every little hamlet will try to
show itself as the best ever" If this
is all Easter means to you you surely
are in need of missionary.
To many others the day offers ac-
ceptable occasion for making gor-
mands of themselves.
Easter eggs are the rule. Many a
husky lad will try tc see how many
eggs he can eat today so that he can
brag about it the rest of the year.
here and there the physician will be
needed to relieve the egg-pain that
results from the abuse of nature. That
fellow is less man and more beast
whose greatest glory lies in the guam
tity of eggs he can consume If an oc-
casion for excused gluttony is the
meaning you attach to Easter you, too,
are in need of missionary.
Easter commentaries the greatest
of the worlds miracles.
1t has been said to be beyond rea-
son. Probably 1t is beyond the rea-
soning caliber of mortal thinkers just
as it is not common to experience.
Yet the same argument would apply
to many practical inventions that are
now common. Once they were thought
impossible, and their advocates were
scoffed at. Some have even been
slain in ages past for daring to advo-
cate daring theories. Some day, also,
the veil will be lifted from the Res
direction and men will see a reason
ableness where now they see only per-
plexity. The fact is not less real be-
cause 1 cannot explain it any more
than a complicated machine is a fic-
tion because cannot understand all
about it. By applying myself can
learn about the machine if l have a
mechanical mind, by trusting the
teachings of the Master l can have his |
witness in my heart that what he has
taught me is true-Pennsylvania |

Life is the one great theme of man

Now They Are Not Afraid to Let the
Children Rum Outdoors
Freely.

Every mother knows how hard It 10
to keep children, especially boys, in.
doors in bad weather. And yet If they
run out it usually means Group or
colds. Carthage, Mo-, mothers have
solved this problem by keeping plenty
Of fresh air in the bedroom at night,
and applying a hot application of
Vick's Vap-O-Rub at the first sign Of
trouble.
Vap-O.Rub really is q remarkable
preparation. 1t is the invention Of
q North Carolina druggist, and is
universally used in the South, but was
introduced here only last winter.
It comes in salve form and il ap-
piled externally over the throat and
chest. Externally-it acts like poul-
tice or plaster, relieving the tightness
and soreness. Internally-it acts like
vapor-lamp, except that you do not
have to keep the windows shut and
the fresh air excluded as you do with
the old fashioned vapor.lamp, Vick's

every breath through the air passages

list, criticizes it severely in his book
on Jerusalem. He objects to its dainty
modernity. The memories which make
sacred the garden are sorrowful and
scarcely to be symbolized by color and
light.
But on the many who visit the place
the setting makes no impression To
them, Gethsemane is the Garden of
the Agony, whittier the Savior retired
to pray for strength in the last dread
crisis before the end.
1t is one of the few spots where
Jesus trod which man still knows after
nearly nineteen hundred long years,
Birds twitter and sing all the long,
warm day, and the gay flowers blush
in all the colors of the rainbow, but
there is a solemn, sancaified stiffness
everywhere which takes the reverent
visitor back through the ages-aIways!

IN GETHSEMANE
Sacred Spot Has Undergone
Many Changes Since the
Time of Our Savior.

A T LAST the monks who guard the
n Gardens OF Gethsemane have
capitulated After fifty years Of re-
fusal they have granted permission to
photograph this hallowed spot.
1t lies without the walls of Jerusa
lem. The way to it leads through the
eastern gate, over the little stone
bridge which spans the dried-up water
course of the brook of Cedron, and up
to the foot of the Mount of Olives.
Here many a time Christ retreated
with his disciples. Here he was found
on that night after the Last Supper,
when tho soldiers, guided by the kiss
of Judas, made him their prisoner.
And here come the thousands Of pill
grims today, on their tour of the Holy
Land.
The Gethsemane they see is not that
of the time of the Savior. The ma
jestic olive trees Of a Thousand years
ago still rear their lofty heads In silent
guardianship of the solemn spot But
a white wall incloses the garden
square; tiny monuments of stone edge
the path, each indicating a station on
the way to the cross; graveled walks
run between dainty parterres, where
wondrous flowers revel in colorful
oriental profusion.
There they are in their little round
stone-trimmed plats-the hyacinths
and the lilies and the tulips and the
jasmine flowers that grow so sweet
and so sturdy in the warm sunshine
that bathes the long slopes of the sa-
cred mount. Their beauty and their
fragrance make it almost a perpetual
Easter there. The garden is now in
the keeping OF Franciscan monks, and
it is they who have so transformed it.
To many the change seems incon,
gruous. Pierre Lott, the French novel

Welcome Easter.

Man likes to rule, not merely to wait
upon nature. So it is that he has
learned through the ages to look for,
and love the tiny things that mara
the coming of the soils great Easter
session, and give him a hint that
spring is waiting for him to commit
his hopes and promises to her, that
she may carry them on strong and
hearty to her more vigorous successor,

First Bless the Supper.

At the close of the midnight mass
in Russia the people partake of a
bountiful supper to celebrate the close
of their weary days of fasting, but
the supper is taken to church! Each
family brings all that will appear later
on the festive board, to be blessed,
and the heads of the family carry 1t
in baskets which are deposited in the
place Of worship during service.
Naturally such primitive arrange
ments do not hold good in the Chapel
Royal, but tables are set out there
and display the collation., which, af-
ter receiving the blessing, is removed
to the palace and is consumed by the
imperial family and all the royal
household.
