THE RISEN CHRIST
Easter Always Anniversary OF De-
Iiverance Of Wonderful
Message Of Hope.

-HE Joy Of the Christian soul
' Is expressed ut Easter In
such Il volume Of song as
rises upon no other day Of
the year.. In the wealth of flowers that
adorn affairs, In the music of cholrs
and the praise of the children In their
exercises are found the manifestation
of the 10y of hearts overlooking with
the happiness of II renewed hope OF
life. 1t Is the anniversary of the de-
liverance Of the greatest message OF
hone the world has ever received,
summed up In the three little words:
HE Is Risen" 1t Is the Christian
"victory day"-Easter.
Most men everywhere ut all times
have had some sort of idea of immor-
tality. It seems to be an inherent
quality In humankind. The doctrine
Of the resurrection Is not an entirely
new one. Even the pagan before US
had a glimpse Of the truth and was
moved to recognize it In his W way.
Nature herself proclaims the doctrine
and In every bursting bud Of spring
time and the new songs Of the birds
we read a confirmation of our belief
In a future life. Nature ~rejOices along
with men in a realization Of the glory
of life, for that which was dead Is
alive again.
Brought Light to World.
But while we see In nature the SYM
bols Of the great truth Of the resur-
rection and delight In the pleasing
processes Of the breaking forth OF
new life in the natural world, the
Christian has something deeper and
more firm than nature upon which to
base his belief Of Immortality. The
m%aterialist nay seek to read his fu.
ture In the natural world. but the
Christian derives his chief hope from
a different source. a source no less
than the message from God himself
When Jesus broke the bonds of death
and became "the first fruits Of them
that slept" He at the same time be
came the hope Of all humanity. Be
fore Him, the way was dark ant
shrouded In mystery, but on that frs
Easter morning He threw n flood OF
light upon the gates Of eternity, which
illumIned the way for all and settled
the question of immortality forever.
1t is but natural that the anniver
sary Of such a day should be celebrat
ed with various manifestations Of Joy
but amid the songs and the flower.
and the pageantry Of our celebration!

RABBIT AS EASTER SYMBOL
With the EGG, It Han Always Been
AssocIatej 10 Appropriate to
the Season.

Easter originally was an oriental
feast In honor of the coming spring,
or the rebirth of the year. The rab-
bit is noted for its prolific offspring,
and that animal was chosen as an Eas-
ter symbol because It typifed the
fruitfulness Of nature. The egg was
selected as an emblem of Easter cele-
bration because 1t contains the germ
of life and is therefore typical of the
revival Of life Mt the beginning of the
growing season. The lily bulb, like
the egg, contains the germ of life and
means Of growing within itself, and
accordingly Is appropriate, carrying as
It does the additional symbol of purity.

Paris Was Without Mail
Train Service For Two
Days This Week.
COUNTY BRIDGES ARE
DAMAGED VERY MUCH
Road Engineer Hartsheld
Says Extraordinary Dam
age Over A Thousand.

Train service has now been almost
entirely restored following the DIS
continuance of every mail train into
Paris Monday and Tuesday, except
transfer train Monday night which
brought in a few mail pouches and
an enterprising news dealer went to
the junction and secured few daily
papers.
The big rain which commenced Fri
day night and lasted throughout Sum
day and Sunday night, did untold
damage, the result Of surface floods,
and high water in the rivers and
streams in. this section. In fact, it
is said that this is the first time since
railroads were running into Paris
that there was lapse Of day in
mail train service.
The continuous rain was general
throughout West Tennessee and
southwestern Kentucky, and extern
ded into middle Tennessee. It is es-
timated that more than six inches of
rain fall was in this immediate vicin-
ity.
Not only was the train service ieop-
ardized, but the rural mail routes
were handicapped on account Of de-
tours necessary. Every road and
mail route in Henry county suffered
more or less damage. The heaviest
damage occurred in the northwest
part of the county in the vicinity of
Martins Mill, at Walnut Fork, and
in the Terrapin Greek territory.
There was also much damage in the
southwestern part of the county, es-
pecially along the Ccmo-McKenzie
road.
In the Springville territory the
ievees and roads are under back
water from the Tennessee River, and
it is impossible at this time to tell
just what damage was done. County
Engineer Hartsfeld estimates that
the extraordinary damage to levees
in the county win amount to more
than FIFTEEN Hundred Dollars.
Aside from detouring, the rural
mail service has been kept up thro-,
out the week, and there were only
two routes that were completely wi
ped out, the Whitlock- Cottage Grove
route which was placed back in shape
Wednesday and the route from Cot
tage Grove south to New Boston
