GREATHUMAND DRAMA PEACE THAT AB|DES
Comforting to All Sad Hearts Is
the Glorious Message of the
Easter Time.

wv HAT strange and wonder
" full uplift Is experienced by
those who observe in true
spirit the day which commentaries the
resurrection of Christ. Into their
souls there Is waited something of the
sweetness of the winds of heaven. Into
their hearts flows the peace which the
world cannot give. The very comfort
of God Is theirs.
The Easter message speaks of VIC
tory. The grim foe that has terrified
men in all ages has been conquered.
Jesus has triumphed over death and
his victory'i is ours. His "fOot is on
the skull of death. There is no place
for mournful music In the resurrec-
ton anthem.
The Gospel of Easter day is marvel
ously comforting. There are multi
tudes of sad hearts in the world. How
few are the homes that have not felt
the blighting touch Of bereavement.
How few across whose thresholds the
somber-robed messenger has not en-
tered. TA all who sorrow the Master
speaks in great tenderness: 81 am
the resurrection and the life; he that
believeth in me, though he die, yet
shall he live"
The loneliness Of the bereaved! Who
can appreciate it but those who have
drained the bitter cup?
O. for the touch of vanished hand,
For the sound Of a voice that Is still.
1t is a time to remember in loving
prayer those whose faces are stained
with tears and whose hearts are weary
with heavy burdens. SOrrOwing ones,
we offer you Christ's glorious resurrec-
ton promises. They are the words Of
eternal life. They speak in ringing nc.
cents of hope and heaven. They pro-
claim the glad tdings that they who
fell asleep in Jesus are safe in the
Fathers house. They counsel pa-
tience, loving submission to the all-
wise will of God, confidence in him
who has never broken his word Some
day, in Gods own time, we shall stand

ALL SPEAK OF RESURRECTION
Awakening Of Buds and Blossoms to
New Life Confirms Mankind's
Belief In Immortality.

Poets and philosophers had mourned
pathetically over the inequality Of ma
ture in this, that while other things
had another life in store, yet man, who
appeared like the lord of creation HIM
self, seemed to have no resurrection.
But now, after Christ had been indeed
found to have risen from the grave, to
them who obtained for the first time
any glimpse of the truth, 1t must in
deed have been like ''new creation"
"Old things passed away, and all
things become new"
1t Is the spring of the year.
"Rise up, and come away. For, 10
the winter is past, the rain Is over and
gone the flowers appear on the earth; /;
the time of singing is come" And
what Is spring after winter but nature
speaking of the resurrection of her
Lord? 1t is the season when day is
lengthening and mastering the night;
light Is overcoming darkness, and life
springing out of apparent death; as
in the returning presence Of him who
is very life and very light, and maketh
all things new. And all this is as the
earnest of that great morning where
in it Is said, 1--WE shall be like him."
"When awake up after thy likeness,
I shall be satisfied with it."

SHORTAGE COAL ACCOUNT WAR
 IN MEXICO
(By Associated Press.)

DAWSON, N. M, Feb. 10. - The European war Is largely responsible for the shortage of coal in the south west, mining operators in this soft coal district say. When the war started hundreds of coal miners from European countries returned to home to fight.
 The first exodus was not sufficient ly large to cause labor shortage, but as the reserves were gradually called to the colors, the mines were forced to operate with only part of their usual force When every available man was ordered back the shortage was felt over all the New Mexico coal district.
 Mexicans were imported to take the places of the foreign miner. They proved unsatisfactory because they re- fused to stay longer than was neces- sary to acquire little American gold with which to live in comparative lux ury through the winter months. This crippled the coal industry when Tabor was most needed.
 The Mexican miner above ground proved to be splendid labOrers. They were afraid of explosions. cave-ins and other accidents, although they proved satisfactory workers in the copper and silver mines of their cOun try. They have belief that coa mining is more dangerous than 'hard rock" mining and refuse to work long in the coal mines.
