Christmas Ii q season Of Joy, OF
blithesome cheerfulness at the advent
of the Savior. To a world sobered by
its Gethsemane and Calvary, Easter
brings a message of Faith and Hope,
the essence Of the religion mankind
needs.
Mankind has passed through the
Agony eliminating In and symbolized
by the little white cross. Heavy
hearted we are still inclined to seek
solace at the tomb. To US the mes
sage comes again: "Why seek ye the
living among the dead7 He is not
here; He Is risen"
Therein lies the message Of Easter
the promise Of immortality beyond the
tomb.
Nor Is II a mere coincidence that
Easter falls at this season. Spring
is simply Natures way Of reiterating
the Easter message. Through the long
winter months the world Of Nature
has seemed asleep In death. Trees
bare, fields destitute, death appeared
to reign supreme.
Then, Just as we are almost wea'
ried enough to give up hope, the SAP
begins to run, little green things to
shoot. birds to chirp as cheerily as
ever.
It Is Natures message Of immortal
ity to the world Of humanity.

began the study of this Science and
became an earnest Christian Scientist.
For many years my parents were close
ly associated with Mrs. Eddy, who was
their pastor, teacher and friend. At
one time Mrs. Eddy spent a week at
our home, and l then had the oppor-
tunity of seeing her to be a gentle. af-

pets and problems. laughing with us
ana sympathizing with us, yet always
mindful of her great mission to suffer

An incident that occurred during her
visit with US has always stood out
wildly in my memory. One morning
before breakfast, my sister sat down
at the organ and began to play and
sing the good old gospel hymn taken
from the psalms. Weeping may en-

Growers Advised
To Sprav Elbertas

FORT VALLEY. Ga. June as
The second generation of 'curculio
larvae or worms" is now being
found in the fruit, according to gov
eminent experts here. In orchards
that have received very careless
spraying or where the spraying or
busting was not done at the exact
. time as recommended by the govern
small second generation worms In
quite large. 1t appears advisable FOR
growers who wish to have the great
est insurance possible against this
dread peach pest to apply an applica-
ton of S05-15 dust to Elbertas i'm
mediately.
Liquid spraying is not advised at
this late date on Elbertas due to
the Objectionable spray residue on
the fruit at harvest. The dust on
the fruit does not usually affect the
market value. Growers are advised
to make this application Of dust
somewhat lighter than those hereto
fore, so as to prevent some of the
fruit from being coated on one side.
Growers are also advised to with
hold picking or to pick as light as
possible from June 20 to July l. In
elusive. as Monday, July 4, is holi-
day on all northern markets and
fruit shipped on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday of this week will ali
appear on the market Tuesday, July
5, which will in all probability cause
heavy on the dates referred to. Fur
thermore, much decay from the hold
over will be avoided by the observ-
anpa of this suggestion.

found no sting; as undertakers the

For a while during that first year,
I found myself in disfavor in many
quarters owing to the activities of

While asking that their debt to the
government be funded over a period
of years, the managers demand &C

money owed them by the government.
The first step looking toward a set
Element of the claims will be to de-

Mr.. Harding and~his- cabinet, 1t was

claims.
