Flowers voice the essential feeling
Of Easter. Each fragrant blossom is
the fulfirment OF divine promise.
For the perennial miracle Of an awak-
ened earth Is in full harmony with the
aspiring note of religion reiterating It's
faith In the promise OF new life.
Flowers, like music. speak the Ian
guage of the heart. They are capable
Of conveying the most personal ana IN
dividual ideals while yet appealing to
common universal vision and imagi-
nation.
This characteristic Of flowers fits
them especially both to express the
private affections OF the giver and en-
rich the symbolism of the altar. A
basket or a cross Of flowers can say all
the heart wishes TO say and say II
without obtrudlng personal feeling.
In medieval times flowers spoke q
definite language, the Interpretation oil
which seems almost lost for season.
The palm, she classical symbol of
victory, was early taken as the symbol
of martyrdom. 1t was outlined on the
tombs of the early martyrs, and 1t was
placed in the hands of those who suf,
fered In the cause of truth, to express
their final victory over the powers of
sin and death.
Roses white and red voice innocence
and love. The Madonna was the Rose
of Sharon" A wreath of roses is
placed upon the brow of st. Cecilia.
Roses and fruit are borne by st. Doro-
thea. A white anchor Of camelias, with
its top a cross, expresses faith and
| hope.
The lily has long been regarded as
expressive of purity. In Bermuda, the
home of our Easter lily, all the roads
are full of people, white and black,
carrying lilies TO the churches at dawn
on Caster day. With them the door
ways. affairs and pulpits are decorated,
and the graves are completely covered.
Each lily and each Easter flower thus
bestowed is vocal, like one of those
old litanies that have descended to
us from time immemorial, full Of
wholesome piety and charity-com-
mon prayer TO all devout souls. The
flowers are of yet older birth than the
ancient prayers-primeval litanies be-
for ever music was.
Their eloquence is growing on us
from year to year, as we bring roses,
lilies and other Easter flowers to deck
the affairs of God, to hallow with their
perfume and beauty the resting places
of the departed and to dedicate our
homes to Christ with our bright.
sweet, sacred enblems.
Christ Is rfsenl with glad lips we utter,
And lar up the infinite height
Archangeis the paean re-echo
And crown ain with lilies of light"

Pepto- Manan Makes Red Cheeks
Builds Up Tired Bodies-Helps
Change Pale Compilations to
Bloom of Health
The healthy, attractive woman
and man too-with wholesome COM
plexion is the envy of those who feel
that, for them, such attractiveness is
impossible.
And yet health and attractiveness
are much matter of blood, red blood
and unless a man or woman is af
flicted with some deep-seated or
serious ailment, vigorous health, and
reach.
Pepto- Mangan is responsible for
the present health and happiness of
thousands who formerly were thin,
pale, languid and easily exhausted.
Pepto- Mangan helped place these
folks in the full-blooded energetic,
vigorous class-and it probably can
do the same for you.
Pepto- Mangan contains the ele-
ments that make rich, healthy blood.
And as result of the increased sup
ply of red blood that Pepto- Mangan
creates, the entire system attains the
vigor that belongs to every man and
woman.
Pepto- Mangan is prepared in two
forms, liquid and tablets. They are
exactly alike in medicinal value.
