people in many localities to sell their
cows and thus there is danger they
will deprive themselves of milk, one
of the most valuable pellagra proven
tion foods. The high cost of living has
further served to bring about a re-
duction in many families in the guam
tity of meat, eggs, beans and peas
consumed, all of which are pellagra
prophylactics." When a wide spread
epidemic of disease is so feared on ac-
count of insufficient food that the
government isues special warnings
about it, we can't help wondering
where all the prosperity is.

of rabbit skins to hatters in the east.

made out of them which is his chief

can get Is cents per pound for the
skins. Here is your chance, boys, for
it only takes eight skins to make a
pound and you can get Is cents for
them.

AN EASTER MESSAGE

Are we not apt to think that the
message of Easter to the heart of man
Is the mere assurance Of the immortal
ity OF his soul. This Is a part Of that
glorious message but by no means it's
entire content. Life for ever and ever
may be a hopeful and a wonderful
thing to look forward to for many a
man, and there is no question that it Is
such, but 1t Is not hard to think OF 1t
as a burden to others. Shall this strug-
Cling and suffering and sin continue
always? Shall my life go on in a diff
ferent sphere perhaps, but with the
same difficulties as here? Shall the
hope Of the Resurrection be merely
one Of an amount, a quantity Of life,
or Is the Easter gospel a bigger, more
wonderfully hopeful gospel? Does not
the Resurrection Of Christ assure us
of a new and higher kind of life pri-
marily, rather than a mere amount of
1t? Is not the meaning Of eternal life
a life that Is lived in companionship
with God, whether in this world or the
next Must we wait until after death
to secure that eternal life for which
we pily?
The meaning of the Easter message
Is that life Is one, whether 1t is lived
on this earth or in the next world, that
the connection Is SO intimate and close
that death is but an experience In life;
that our eternal life is a possible pres
ent possession and not merely a future
hope. II we can but catch the mean
ing Of this gospel, then our lives will
be lived with a new and larger horizon.
We will see that our ideal and vision
must not wait for death for its fulfill
ment, but that through His Resurrec-
ton Christ calls us to live with Him
now as truly as He will call us when
we take our last earthly breath. A
new man for a new life Is the Easter
Gospel.
