TIME FOR RESOLUTIONS
Easter ls the Season to Start Anew
and Stop Worrying Over Little
Things That Can't 30
Helped.

HERES just one thing for reso-
lutions to thrive, and that Is at
the Easter season, when every
thing is starting anew. There's some
thing In the very atmosphere that
strengthens puny, timid resolutions.
For instance. suppose that you re-
solve to stop worrying over little things
that can't be helped, and then wake up
on the morning of the day you had
planned to make a lettuce bed and
put out your spripg flowers, to find a
vigorous snowstorm in full session. Be
still for minute and listen to that
redbird in your neighbor's cherry trees,
piping shrilly: "Here! herel With you
with yOu-with you'll"
To be sure he is with us, the blessed
dash of crimson joy, and he will save
the day for that resolution. Suppose
you've resolved to stop grouching, and
then the brick masons and the carpen-
tiers next door throw things on your
tiny rose garden, and trVnple your
grass into the mud. That resolution
would snap like glass in January, but
Just as 1t is being strained to the limit
now, robin calls to you from the tele-
graph wire overhead: "Cheer up
cheer up-cheer upl" And you just
can't help cheering up.
Oh, you get all sorts of encourage
ment in the resolution business at this
season! If you resolve to grow In
mind and heart and soul. there's the ex-
ample Of the green grass that rises In
spite of rude, trampling feet, and the
birds that sing in spite Of the beating
spring rains, and the flowers that
bloom because Of rains and buffeting
winds. And think Of the help you
will get from the Easter music! It Is
30 sweet and tender and glad and
triumphant How could you help be-
ing better and stronger and truer after
hearing 1t? It's the sweetest, finest sea-
son of the whole year-the Easter sea-
son, with its message of rising and
growing and doing and being. New
Years resolutions are broken, or
even nicked here and there, why not
get fresh set when you get your new
Easter clothes, and when you ar
ray your body, put some of the new
ness of life into your mind and heart
and soul? And. even II we haven't new
Easter cIOthes-and a precious lot of
us won't have--why can't we deck our
minds and hearts and souls bit more
The Holly chieftain., 1917-04-06

The tomb was sealed. the watch was set,
Within the portals lay the form
Who by the host Of heaven was met,
As he arose on Easter morn
When the Angel rolled away the stone,
The risen Lord in glory shone.
And though the tomb was sealed.
Resurrection was revealed.
The Roman guard in terror fled
From the Angel bright. with flaming sword,
When the Son Of Man rose from the dead,
And spoke to frightened souls the word
That conquers sin, prevails DER death,
Transports the soul at parting breath,
And though the tomb was sealed.
Resurrection was revealed.
The Magdalen with pious love,
At tearly morning sought the tomb.
Was met by Angel from above,
Who pointed to the empty room.
The grave clothes on the floor were spread,
Not with the napkin that pressed his head;
And though the tomb was sealed.
Resurrection was revealed.
"Who seek ye here7" the Angel said
To Mary. who was bound in prayer
"The living Christ among the dead.
He Is not here. but will eppear
In glory. filing all the skies.
The pardoned sinners sacr fice;"
And though the tomb was sealed,
Resurrection was revealed.

Unique Gift
for Easter

A T EASTER time the people Of
~ Patrick county. Virginia. fire.
quently send to their friends
unique gifts. In this county, about GER
tain beautiful springs and the clear
streams flowing from them. are found
quantities of small stone crystals in
the form Of perfect crosses. They are
mixed with the gravel and pebbles Of
this limestone country.
More remarkable still, the crosses are
found In various shapes-the plain Ro-
man cross. the square maltese cross,
and the Greek cross where the crystals
interpenetrate each other at an angle
of 60 degrees. This last Is the most
common form, but 1t is not SO pleasing
when the stone is used as IN ornament
because of the twisted appearance 1t
gives, although the structure itself is
very interesting, resembling double
cross. Sometimes three or even four
crystals are grouped together.
The crystals are six-sided prisms,
and In a simple form appear in an en-
velope shape complete as to the point
ed flaps even. The scientific name Of
the material Is "staurolite," or "cross-
stone," the name staurOlite coming
from the Greek words meaning "crOss"
and "stone."
The girls of Patrick county wear the
cross in place Of locket or pendant
on gold or silver chains. The stone Is
comparatively soft and small gold
screw is inserted in the cross and the
chain passed through projecting ring.
Sometimes those who live In this val
ley search for crosses that match In
size and make long necklace Of the
stones themselves. The crosses vary
In size from an inch to two inches in
length.
The writer has fairy stone Of the
popular Roman style, presented by the
finder, who picked 1t up on a Patrick
county farm. 1t has dull brown color
and looks as If 1t might be bit Of rich.
dark wood from the altar of a. church.
The color varies from reddish or yell
lowish brown to black or gray, but Is
uniform in each individual stone.
The Inhabitants of Patrick county be-
lieve that the stone Is found nswhere
else in the world outside Of their par
ticular county, picturesque mountain
section Of Virginia.

Exalt Work.

DO not desert your work, but pierce
into its heart, exalt 1t to It's loftiest
conception, if you would be more holy.
