al over the world, this thought IL
uppermost IN sermon and song. II

accord with sunshine, II the birds
are chanting their hymnal. or in con-
frast II budding trees, shrub and
manning plant enjoys on this day
heavens tears in all their prodi-
pality with lowering gray clouds
threading a blanket overhead and
keeping from view all tho bright

Easter Is here Just thosame and is
met with joyousness in all hearts.
II is n FAR cry from the deeply re-
lig.ous theme pertaining to Easter,

Centuries have passed since the
resurrection morn which set the
wondrous example OF immortality

end of time. church celebrations
among the different denominations
have changed but little in form.
yab.ts and customs have been ad-
nered 20 I'm most every instance.

noticed For instance the egg has
always been held as a token of tho

and amid all this vernal setting,
the red bud trees which give a dash
OF purplish red and against IL in
contrast are seen pear. apple and
cherry blossoms from the orchard
nearby. Danlelions and starry-eyed
wood violets cover the forest carpet
as well as city lawn. The redbird
! and the daring mockinEbird vie with
/ each other i'm their burst of song
which puts to shame the small dusty
swallow who would do his bit in this
ieathery choir. It Is indeed Spring.

ABOUT MS and we are glad to join
with the world in singing Easter
hymnals today. Much we have TO
be thankful for in this beautiful
world Of ours. The lowliest OF us
nave blessings from His hand who
would have us acknowledge the
resurrection of His Son today. As

sweetness OF the Christ lesson soften
our hearts towards all humankind
ana make us forget the small
crosses and remember the one who
suffered on the one Cross that all
our sins might be forgiven Easter
ana springtime in our hearts Is a
scynoto today and we would be glad
indeed.
