No man. however skeptical or OBJ
tuse, can wholly escape the spirit of
Easter. He may hold his peace. but
the very stones cry out. The cold.
dead earth wakes to new life. and
the spirit of the resurrection Is IN
every blade of grass and every song
c. bird.
Let US not trouble ourselves too
carefully concerning the precise
form of the wonder that occurred
1900 years ago. The question is not,
The latter question is easier for
us, and requires no very doubtful
balancing of evidence.
On that first Easter the worlds
hope rose from the dead. The hopes
of the disciples lay in a tomb. and a
great stone was at the door. For
1900 years that stone has been re-
moved, and an angel has been sit
ting upon 1t, proclaiming to men
that the Lord of life lives.
1t is not simply the dogma of a
sect: 1t is part and parcel of the
birthright of humanity-the hope
that springs anew at Easter.
Robert G.. Ingersoll stood at his
brothers grave. and asked the cen
turies' old question, IF a man die.
shall he live AGAIN."
He had to answer, Reason says.
Perhaps; and Love whispers, Yes"
Let no man scoff at the faith OF
the great apostle of doubt for that
answer. At such time there is a
faith which cries out with Tennyson:
Peace. For l loved and still love
him forever;
The dead are not dead. but alive"
Easter comes with it's mighty re-

TO MAKE FACTORIES HUM.

The steady dwindling of our foreign trade is
one reason why so many are out of work.
Other countries want goods-billions of
dollars worth-just as much as want their
orders
But they can't pay
Bankers have wrested with the problem.
They've formed s1OO,Ooo,OoO company to fl
nance exports. but this will be slow in function
ing and it's possibilities overestimated, ac-
cording to big exporters.
The result of this situation, says John Nc
Hugh, New York banker. is that our foreign
trade is going on a primitive barter basis.
The barter works like this: Cotton growers
formed the Mississippi Delta Export and Trad
ing Company. Their first shipment is $4,000
bales of cotton. It's sent to American agent
in Hamburg. He distributes it to textile mills
in Germany and Czecho-slovakia. These mills
turn the raw cotton into finished goods satis-
factory portion of which is sent back to Miss
isSippi to pay for the cotton.
An American manufacturer of electrical equip
ment is shipping his to Europe and get
ting bristles and eggs in return. Another manu-
facturer swaps American pottery for Japanese
silk.
This system of barter. or swapping, is taking
US back a good many thousand years, to the
days before money was invented medium
Of exchange.
It seems primitive. but export trade is an
ultimate loss unless eventually balance our
books by getting back an equivalent amount of
commodities in the form of imports.
Gold received in foreign trade is merely a
note calling for reciprocal shipments of i'm
ports in the future.
You can't eat gold.

NOT FOR DUMPING PURPOSES.

Residents in the southern end OF the city cer-
tainiy have good ground for complaint regarding
the use of the city property along the water
'front.'. This land was bought for park and ter
minal purposes and it has been turned into
public dump.
t,u. the mere fact that ashes and garbage are
dumped there need not be so offensive. Some
of the most attractive spots in the city today
were once a dump-those beautiful gardens on
the east side of Water street. just south OF Lewis
street, were made possible by dumping garbage
behind the bulkhead all one winter 1t Is also
true that city property in the northern end OF
the city that was acquired for park purposes
ia even now used as city dump.
The difference however. is in the fact that
these other places have been properly regulated
and the dumping has been done under the su-
pervision This has tended to mitigate to large
extent the Objectionable features. But at the
foot of Brighton avenue no such care has been
taken The place was never intended for dump
and the fact that it has been made one natural
" has aroused considerable indignation.
It is to be regretted that this beautiful site
along the riverfront which the city acquired
several years ago has not been put to the use
for which It was purchased. While for few
months in the year part of it is used for play
ground much of the advantage of the location
is lost. With the summer season rapidly ap-
preaching the need of adequate bathing
beach will again be felt yet this ideal spot
owned by the city is utterly ruined for such pur-
pose by the sewers at every street end.
But Perth Amboy at last has city plan COM
mission and this body is beginning to function.
An interesting discussion of this subject took
place before the Board of Aldermen Monday
night. Parks and Fairgrounds are among the
first things provided for by a city plan expert.
It is to be hoped that no time will be lost in
deciding on the use of this riverfront property
belonging to the city and that by the time an
other year rolls around some definite steps will
have been taken to make full Use OF this beau
tiful tract for the benefit of the people.
City planning cannot be done in a week or a.
month but once the work is under way. it will
not be long before such an advantageous tract
is made full use of. In the meantime the city
officials do well to see that the promiscuous
dumping in that locality is stopped. Legitimate
filling in is one thing but creating a nuisance
detrimental to health as we'll to property is
quite another.

FESTIVAL OF NEW LIFE
BY DIR. w. e. BARTON

Enforcement OF the affirmation oil
love and hope. The affirmation Oh
the soul comes back In the compel
ling assurance of this anniversary.
1t is not SO wonderful that life
should exist after death as 1t Is that
we should believe that it exists. God
might have million wondrous
things in store for us which we
could not possibly understand. we
live in a world where death sur
rounds us on every side. How can
we possibly think of life after death!
The wonder is not that 1t should
exist, but that we should believe that
it exists. The fact is less wonderful
than the faith. Yet there is hardly
a tribe on earth so low in the social
or spiritual scale that it does not
believe in life after death.
Whence comes this miracle? Not
the miracle of the fact, but the
miracle of the faith? If 1t were q
ueiusion, it Is the most comforting
demsion that ever entered the tmag-
ination of humanity. How did it
get there? And why should we
think it a delusion? In the world
of a good God. there Is nothing too
good to be true.
Now comes Easter with its mes
sage of solemn joy. And as 1t comes
the very earth cries out in harmon
ious accord. Winter is not the final
fact. Death is not the last word of
God.
There is no unbelief:
Whoever plants seed beneath the
sod
And waits to see it push away the
clod. (
Trusts he in God.
