Easter Next Sunday
Anniversary of the Resurrection of Christ Comes
Sunday and Punta Gorda People
Will Fittingly Observe It

He is risen He is risen'' Thus sang the an
gels two thousand years ago when Jesus Christ
burst the bounds of His tomb, to the surprise and
annoyance of the Romans and Pharisees and
proved His divinity to the would be unbelieving
world
Except corn Of wheat fall into the ground
and die it abideth alone but if it die it bringeth
forth much fruit y
Man cannot have his second existence until his
old body is buried in the earth, moulders away and
releases the germ of the new existence,-the soul.
q. Christ was the first to break through the bar
riers of the tomb, but, it promised ellis
Holy One shall not see corruption" his body did
not lie in the grave until time for decay to begin
Angels rolled away the stone and Christ came
forth to the joy of his apostles and the believers.
The Punta Gorda believers in Christ and His
church will commemorate the day which is the an
nversary of His resurrection by gathering at the
churches and holding appropriate exercises. Flow
ers will be there in abundance, and all are asked to
help in this respect by bringing all the flowers it is
possible for them to secure.
To the true believer this is a joyous occasion, and
as such should be celebrated in joyous, yet
solemn manner. What the Christian religion has
done for the world in the last 1000 years is too
well known to need repetition. The spirit of the
gentle Christ has made this world one in which it
is safe to live Take the Church out of communi
ty and who would live there? Not even an infidel.
As the angels sang two thousands years ago, so
will Christians sing at the different churches Sun
day. Go to church and enjoy the services and you
will be the one who is benefited

Soldier Routed by a Clock

A charming young lady came
over to the editors house, one day
last week, and lodged "a complaint
against his dining room clock
She said the clock is a great nui-
sance, because it can be heard all
over the neighborhood, something
Ikea fire gong.
Her particular ground of COM
plant was that the handsome
lieutenant who visits her regu-
lates his visits by that mendacious
clock, and when it strikes IL p.
M, he bolts, adjouns, absquatu-
lates, skedaddles, scarcely taking
time to say good night. She
couldn't convince him, she said,
that the clock is an hour too fast,
for he firmly believes that editors
and their clocks always tell the
truth; whereas, she believes the
very opposite.
Truth is, the clock is an hour
too fast-set that way on pur-
pose, to wake up the editor, who
is inclined to lie. abed as well as
in the paper little too much.
What surprises us is that such
a small thing as clock can drive
gallant soldier away from the
side of such captivating girl.
We should think that not even a
regiment of Boches could do that.
At any rate, if we were the SOL
dier, it would take something lots
fiercer than clock to put us to
flight.

The fifth Liberty Loan or the
Victory Loan" begins Monday,
April 21st. Punta Gorda has
done her part in each of the other
drives and no less is expected of
her this time. Now that the war
is over, some may be careless and
callous regarding the need of
funds on the part of the govern
ment. Because the real fighting
is over, is no reason that the Unit
ed States has no war expenses on
its hands. There is an army of
occupation in Germany and other
countries where Bolshevikism is
breaking out on every hand.
There are our boys lover there"
WHO must be remunerated and
their expenses paid until they re-
turn home and receive the last
sixty dollars that is coming to
them. There are cur training
camps and aviation fields to be
and our war debts to
pay. 1t is necessary to keep up
our preparations for war, for, in
spite of the fact that fighting has
ended, there are yet "wars and
rumors Of wars" and no one
knows just at what minute we
may be called upon to again take
up arms in defence of our rights.

British Private's Experience Con-

able of War.

and Is Taken Prisoner
by Germans.

London. = Private Peters Of the
British army lived five weeks With a
helpless cOmrade in hole within
thirty yards of the German trenches.
Their experience is considered the
most remarkable of the war 1t was
in 1917, at Croiselles that the fifty
men then remaining of Private Peters
company were ordered to dig in. The
spot was a sunken road. The men had
passed their objective and run into
their own barrage fire. They fell like
ninepins.
When Private Peters looked up from
his digging only his captain, himself
and a comrade named McGuiness re-
mained. Then the captain was shot
dead and the comrade fatally wounded
Private Peters went out for look
around and found stretcher bearer
with shattered thigh. He hauled
him into the dugout. The stretchel
bearer had iodine and his wound was
kept free Of infection.

they came. The town had not yet sur

there in authority to capitulate. But
the Hun started on his work of demo-
litiOn. Suddenly we saw a huge con-
f1agration near the wireless station.
Flames leaped skyward hundreds of
feet. Loud explosions sounded from
time to time. sending myriads of sparks
into the air. 1t provided a gorgeous
pyrotechnic display Of gargantuan
proportions. Ammunition, benzine
and stores all fed the fire. It lighted
up the city like moonlight.

blazing veritable feu de joie into the

streets, then fled to the shelter of the
