The scent Of the lilies is bound and holden;
Its incense rises in bordered aisles;
There's the promise of spring In the sun
light golden;
There's the Joy of spring in the chill
dren's smiles!
And Yesterdays toll and hurried clamor,
The clty's throng and the city's strife,
Its cluttered scene and Its fevered CLAM
our
That makes up the struggle we dare call
life
We leave 1t all at some fair, dim portal.
(The lilies CLEAN in the bordered aislesD
And oh, the message and gift immortal!
(There's the joy of spring In the chill
dren's smilesD
And we hear of that faroff Syrian garden
Where Mary's Master stilled her fear
And the angels words of hope and pardon:
For he is risen. He Is not here"
Risen, Sweet Christ of the distant ages!
Like Mary. we listen and know the
voice,
And more than the story of hallowed
pages
The touch of his love and life rejoice.
For in any sadness of some tomorrow
II we hear his answer we lose all care,
And above forgotten tears and sorrow
The scent of the lilies shall lnger there!
Adm Ballou In New York Tribune.

A song Of sorrow as wild and shri1l

a song OF sorrow as wild and snr1u
As the homeless wind when it roams
the hill,
So full of fears, so loud and long,
That the grief of the world seemed
turned to song.
"But soon there came through the
weeping night
A glimmering angel clothed in
white,
And he rolled the stone from the
tomb away
Where the Lord of the earth and
heavens lay,
And Christ arose in the cavern's
gloom
And in living luster came from the
tomb.
"Now, the bird that sang in the
heart of the tree
Beheld this celestial mystery,
And its heart was filled with sweet
delight,
And it poured a song on the throb-
bling night.
Notes climbed on notes till, higher
and higher,
They shot to heaven like spears Of
fire.
when the glittering, white robed
angel heard
The sorrowing song of the grieving
bird
And heard the following chant Of
mirth
That hailed Christ risen again on
earth
He said, Sweet bird, be forever
blest-
Thyself, thy eggs and thy moss
wreathed nestp
"And ever, my child, since that
blessed night,
When death bowed down the Lord
Of light,
The eggs of that sweet bird change
their hue
And burn with red and gold and
blue,
Reminding mankind in their simple
way
OF the holy marvel of Easter day.

Should Mean

~ oEs Easter mean to you only the
wearing of a new hat, new
~ frock and the studying of fash
ions as worn by others? Do you let 1t
bring to your little ones only the rab-
bits nest of colored eggs or the fuffs
of yellow chicks? Does 1t strike no
higher chord In your being than the
fact that spring is at hand and you
must have light and becoming apparel?
Easter is more than all these. 1t Is
the force in nature that brings the leaf,
the bud and at last the glowing bios
som from the clod. 1t is the resurrec'
ton of the life of those things we call
lnanimate because they cannot talk to
us: how much more than the spring
ing into being of the good that may
be dormant in our hearts.
What the little ones should be told
this Easter morning is that the life OF
the world itself is new: that the grave
cannot hold within Its confines the
mighty spirit of growing things. So !
beg of you to not dwell too largely
upon the sadness Of the cross and the
crown of thorns, but rather upon the
glorious truth that those were but
small In comparison with the glory of
Christs rising.
IL the remembrance Of the freeing
from the tomb means anything in
teaching Christianity 1t means the
beauty Of the resurrection; 1t means
that the very 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 for
gotten. and this is the meaning that
Easter should bring into every moth
ers morning greeting to her little ones.
You were i'll yesterday, but you are
well today" You are to live as II the
sun was newly born. the skies newly
washed in their sunny blue, the stars
but just freshly placed to shine to give
YOU pleasure. the moon sailing like
beautiful round globe for your eyes to
see. All these mean a keener enjoy
ment. a better understanding, and you
will find response in each small body
and loving heart if the practice be the
teaching of the Golden Rule, not only
today but all the year.-Emma Irene
Michigan in st. Louis Globe-Democrat'

Legend Of
easter Gsgs

@RINITY bells, with their hol-
~ low lungs
And their vibrant lips and their
brazen tongues,
Over the roofs of the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar
Till the soaring notes to the sun are
rolled
As he swings along in his path of
gold.
dearest papa" says my boy to me
As he merrily climbs on his mothers
knee,
"Why are these eggs that you see
me hold
Colored so finely with blue and gold7
And what is that wonderful bird
that lays
Such beautiful eggs on Easter
daysp
"You have heard, my boy, Of the
Man who died,
Crowned with keen thorns and cru
Gifted,
And how Joseph, the wealthy
whom God reward
Cared for the corpse of the msrtyred
Lord,
And piously tombed it within the
rock,
And closed the gate with a mighty
block.
"Now, close by the tomb fair tree
grew,
With pendulous leaves and blossoms
Of blue,
And deep in the green trees shad-
owy breast
A beautiful singing bird sat on her
nest,
Which was bordered with moses,
like malachite,
And held four eggs of an ivory
white.
"Now, when the bird from her dim
recess
Beheld the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face so
pale
And the dear feet pierced with cruel
nail,
Her heart nigh broke with sudden
pang,
And out of the depths of her sorrow
she sang.
"All night long till the moon was up
She sat and sang in her moss
wreathed cup

- He decorative possibilities of
Easter time are numerous as
tradition makes hares. doves,
chicks and butterflies. as we'll as lilies
and spring flowers, appropriate at
tendants upon the festival. OF late
years little kittens, squirrels and duck
lings have been added to the list and
are sometimes given for variety's sake
as favors at Easter luncheons and din
ners instead of rabbits and chickens.
Butterflies, emblematic as they are OF
the awakening of spring, make partic-
ularIy appropriate favors, says the
New York Tribune.
Large yellow butterflies as favors,
with centerpiece of spring ferns and
catkins. make delightful color
scheme, for by Easter time the catkins
are usually mass of feathery yellow
blossoms. AS far as may be, pale
green should be the predominating col
or, the yellow In the fayors and cat
kins being merely attractive high
lights The china may be white and

The menu should as far as possible
be suggestive Of spring or, In other
words seasonable and not in any pro
nounced color that will be out of har-
mony with the green and yellow 1nts.
Lamb loaf. decorated with squares of
mint Jelly, makes an attractive piece
de resistance at simple luncheon, or
slices of lamb may be masked with
mint aspic, allowed to harden into
nice mold and then served upon boiled
"artichoke bottoms" seasoned with
French dressing. and finally arranged
around mound of peas or asparagus

preferred, the mint sprays may appear
in plate of mint sandwiches.

salad Of spinach, peas or asparagus
may be served in paper cups.
A pistachio ice cream, tinted deli
cate green and ornamented with snowy
whipped cream, may be used. AT this
season some hostesses may not care
for a frozen dessert. In that case q
delicate grapefruit sponge may be
served. 1t is made by adding beaten
white of egg to a grapefruit Jelly just
before it congeals. The pale green of
the jelly may be frightened by adding
a little green coloring matter. Add
little extra sugar, so that it may be
appropriately served with ornamental
tons of whipped cream, cream hardly
being appropriate with sour jelly.
A genuine diplomatic pudding is also
an attractive dessert. 1t is like the
ordinary diplomatic pudding except
that a white Bavarian cream is mask
ed by green Jelly, each favored ap-
propriately The dessert should be
prettily decorated with pistachio nuts
or angelica and whipped cream.

Caster Day

- H, day of days Shall hearts
~ set free
No minstrel rapture" find for thee 2
Thou art the sun of other days.
They shine by giving back thy rays.
Enthroned in thy sovereign sphere,
Thou shedd'st the light on all the
year.
Sundays by thee more glorious break,
An Easter day in every week.
And week days, following in their
train,
The fullness of thy blessing gain
Till all, both resting and employ,
Be one Lords day of holy joy.
Then wake, my soul, to high desires.
An earlier light thine altar fires.
The world some hours is on her way,
Nor thinks on thee, thou blessed day.
Or, if she thinks, it is in scorn.
The vernal light of Easter morn
To her dark gaze no brighter seems
Than reasons or the laws pale
beams.
where is your Lord ~ she scornful
asks.
where is his hire9 We know his
tasks.
Sons Of a king we boast to be.
Let us your crowns and treasures
see."
We In the words of truth reply
Gan angel brought them from the
sky):
"0ur crown, our treasure, is not
here.
IT'S stored above the highest sphere.
"Methinks your wisdom guides amiss
To seek on earth Christians bliss.
We watch not now the lifeless stone.
Our only Lord is risen and gone"
Yet even the lifeless stone is dear
For thoughts of him who late lay
here,
And the base world, now Christ hath
died,
Ennobled Is and glorifed
No more a charnel house, to fence
The relics of lost innocence,
A vault of ruin and decay
The imprisoning stone is rolled
away.
IT'S now a cell, where angels use
To come and go with heavenly news
And in the ears of mourners say,
Come, see the place where Jesus
lay"
Tis now fame, where love can find
Christ everywhere embalmed and
shrined-
Aye gathering up memorials sweet
Where'er she sets her duteous feet,
John Keble.

Easter Soma,

How shall / know the swallows wing
viii cleave once more the air of spring,
And the rathe crocus bud again
Shoot upward in the April rain
Until It bursts to poisoning?
How shall ] know the velvet moss
Frost umbered will renew its gloss,
The thicket-hidden thrush rehearse
The music of its vesper verse,
And joyance follow after loss?
Through all the darkness and the dole,
Like some transcendent aureole,
Like some fair pharos on a height
Flinging it's beams athwart the night,
Faith shall reveal the way, o soul!

Duck Eaaa For Easter.

In some places one can easily obtain
ducks eggs for Easter. Whether you
like the taste of these eggs or not, you
will find that their size makes them
bring delight to the youngsters. A
pretty centerpiece for Easter day Is
made from a small round basket lined
with grass or straw and filed with
ducks eggs, Brooding over these eggs
or perched on the side of the basket
you can have one of those delightful
little yellow ducks sold at the confec-
tionery or favor store.
