Ifsheremembrance of the free.

| ing from the tomb means any.
thing in teaching Christianity il
means the beauty of the resurrec-
tion; it means that the spirit of
Christ Risen from the dead" is
to be carried out in real life; that
joy and fresh, glowing happiness
are to be taught and believed in.
Gloom has no place on Easter
day.
What is past is past; troubles
that have come are gone; pain
that has been suffered and cured
is to be forgotten. and this is the
meaning that Easter should bring
into every mothers morning
greeting to her little ones.
You were ill yesterday, but
you are alright today" You
are to live as if the sun was new
ly born, the skies newly washed
in their sunny blue, the stars
but just freshly placed to shine
to give you pleasure, the moon
floating like a beautiful globe
for your eyes to see. All these
mean a keener enjoyment, bet
ter understanding, and you will
find response in each small body
and loving heat'if the practice
be the teaching of the Golden
Rule, not only today but through
out the year.

What Easter Should Mean

Does Easter mean to you only
the wearing of a new hat, a new
frock and the studying of fash
ions as worn by others? Do you
let it bring to your little ones
only the raj bits nest of colored
eggs and the fluffs of yellow
chicks? Does it strike no high
er chord in your being than the
fact that spring is at hand and
you must have light and becom-
ing apparel?
Easter is m re than these.
1t is the force in nature that
brings the leaf. the bud, and at
last the glowing blossoms from
the clod. 1t is the resurrection
of the life of those things we
call inanimate because they cam
not talk to us; how much more
more than the springing into
being of the good that may be
dormant in our hearts.
What the little should be told
this Easter morning is that the
life of the world itself is new,
that the grave cannot hold with
in its confines the mighty spirit
of growing things. So l beg of
you not to dwell too larfely upon
the sadness of the cross and the
crown of thorns, bnt rather upon
the glorious truth that those were
but small in comparison with the
glory of Christ's rising.

Monday morning a blaze was
discovered in the rear of the
