Easter Day.

1t Is a beautiful conception, the day
and iSs significance. Our finite minds
are accustomed to conceive Of death rs
the end; we are often prone to stop
there and not go beyond the rcsur-
rcction. The physical world is en-
blematic Of the change that must ever
take place before the springing UP Of
new life. SO with the life OF the spir.
It, He that loscth his life shall find
It, Something of this thought is in the
mind OF him who is to find the real
meaning Of Easter 1t is the beginning
Of Il new year, not In the formal cal
cndar Of days and months, but Of the
world OF nature which is often ali the
world Of reality to us. The season
speaks Of abundance Of life with
all its wonderful hopes and possibili-
ties. To the Christian world Ennter
Ia the apotheosis Of everything that
is beautiful and awc-inspiring. 1t
means the emergcnce OF the spiritual,
the message to humanity that the good
and true and beautiful can never die.
1t Is the inspiration Of the poet, the
essence Of hope to the man Of faith.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
SAYS WOMEN CAN VOTE
If SUFFRAGE RATIFIED

Columbia, March 2G.-S. NJ. Wolfe.
attorney general, gave an opinion to
Mrs. Eulalic Salley Of Aiken, prcsi-
dent of the Equal Suffrage League of
South Carolina, in which he contends
that women can not be denied the
right to register and cast their bal
lots In the general election this fall
because of inability to present poll
tax receipts, which is q requisite for
the male voter. These taxes have
not been levied on the women and
for this reason the poll tax receipt
can not be invoked to debar the wo-
men from the right to cast their ballot
Mr.. Wolfe also emphasized that slight
modification to the primary rules at
the state Democratic convention in
Columbia in May will enable the wo-
men to vote in the Democratic pri-
maries this summer. A vote either
this summer or this fall is predicted
on the supposition that another state
will have ratified the equal suffrage
amendment, thus enfranchising the
women OF the nation

dawn OF the eternal Sabbath breaks,
and the everlasting Easter morning
