New York, July 24.-The perform

New York and Washington has been
such as to justify further develop

the country.
A volume Of business large enough

into operation and at the same time
airpost rates will drop. If 100000
people in the United States would
send a letter a day by air mail the
result would not only permit extend
ing the service east, west and south,
but would provide continuous train

Letters can be sent to any city
south of Washington by airpost from
New York. They make connections
with regular postal routes and arrive
many hours before mail sent all the
way by rail The same is true Of

THE EASTER STORY

Long years ago, in Bethlehem, a
town far across the seas, there
was born little child. whose name
was Jesus, because He came into
the world to save us from our SIN.
The Bible tells the beautiful story
of his birth. Angels from heaven
sang a wonderful song: Glory to
God in the highest and on earth,
peace and good will toward men.
Shepherds left their ffocks in the
field and went to visit the Child
and His mother. Wise men from
the East, guided by a star, brought
their gifts of gold, frankincense
and myrrh.
This Infant grew to be a wise,
loving boy, a tender helpful man.
He taught people to love God and
each other Whichever He went He
carried blessing. He touched the
sick and they were well. He made
the blind see, and the lame walk.
He took little children in His arms
and blessed them. But though He
was so wise, so good, SO patient
and sweet, wicked men grew jeai-
Gus of Sis power. They could not
believe that He was the Son OF God
and their Saviour. So they arrest
ed Him and nailed Him to the
cross.
Near the place where Jesus died
was a garden belonging to Joseph
of Arimathea, a rich man and a
secret friend of Jesus. In this gar
den was tomb which had never
been used Joseph begged that he
might have the body of his friend.
When it was given to him, he and
Nicodemus. another of Jesus
friends, took it tenderly down from
the cross and wrapped it in new
fine linen and laid it in the tomb.
When they had done all that they
could, huge stone was rolled up
to close the mouth of the grave,
and the little company OF sorrow
ing friends went to their homes.

HOW THE BUNNY DIS
TRIBUTED THE EGGS

1t was the day before Easter and
the Bunny was getting the Easter
eggs ready. When they were fin
ished it was after Clark. The earth
children were going to sleep.
The Bunny was wondering how
he was going to give the eggs to
the children. He thought that ii he
would so the dog in the front yard
would eat him up He thought he
would let the robin take the eggs.
He went over to the robins house.
The robin said that he couldn't
take it because the cat would
catch him. The Bunny went away
disappointed. He thought of the
bear. He went to find the bear and
found him in his cave. The Bunny
told the bear that he wanted the
earth children to have. the eggs
Easter morning. The bear said
that he thought that he could take
the eggs.
Late that night the pear WIN
the basket of eggs in his mouth
started toward the earth children's
home. The bear got safely there.
He went up the stairs and put the
eggs beside the children's bed. He
then went down the stairs and into
the front yard and safely back to
his cave. The Bunny was still
there waiting for him. The bear
told him that he delivered the eggs
safely.
When the children awoke they
found the eggs. They said that
the Bunny had colored the eggs
beautifully and that they We're
very greatly pleased with them.

The priests ana rulers remeu,-
bered that Jesus, when alive, had
said: After three days ] will rise

friends might go to the tomb in the
night and steal His body away andj
then tell the people that He had
risen from the dead. SO they
sealed the tomb securely and
placed guard of soldiers about it
till the third day should be passed
Early in the morning Of the first
day of the week, and while it was
yet dark, an angel of the Lord
came down from heaven and rolled
back the stone from the door of
the tomb and sat upon it. His
face was bright like lightning and
his garments were as white as the
snow. The soldiers trembled for
fear of him and fell as if dead.

THE EASTER ROBIN

There is a legend of the Greek
church which tells us that Our
Lord used to feed the robins around
His mothers door when a boy;
moreover, that the robins never left
the sepulchre till the Resurrection
and at the Ascension joined the
angels song"
Another story Of the robin is that
of the day of Creation, when all
the birds were given their gay
plumage, the robin was left a little
gray bird The Lord of Creation
promised the robin that he should
have a red breast but that he must
earn those bright breast feathers.
For long, long years the little
bird did everything that it could tc
have those coveted feathers. 1t
sang until it's little throat almost
burst with joy. 1t performed deeds
of valor; it BUILT it's nest among
the brambles, that the thorns might
scratch it. And so it went on fol-
years and years, this brave little
bird trying to earn its red breast.
On the day that our Lord was
on His way to Calvary, toiling un-
der the heavy burden Of the cross,
robin plucked Il thorn Iron, Ills
