the teaching Of Christianity. showing
how the philosophy and the doctrines
of the Galilean are being carried out
now.
At the close of these beautiful
illustra tons, Rev. NJ. Uyemura ad-
dressed us on The Suficiency of
Christ for the New Day" for the
Orient. He claimed that Christianity
is more than ideas: that many of the
ideas in Christianity were known to
ancient Japan and ancient China. but
Christianity is Jesus Christ himself
His wonderful personality is the
thing that is now in Christianity
Mr. Uyemura then emphasized the
fact that Christ took the ideas
known to the world and brought
them to perfection to complete full

Here's cordial welcome to
Esther on her return to the column
latter many days" We are glad
she is able to enjoy the springtime
again.
April %. 1921.
Dear Aunt Madge and the Column;
l think, | promised our aunt at
Christmas time that | would write
| soon, and | meant to. but here ii is
| April and my promise broken
Where do the days go? They fly
| fast, a month is gone before it seems
| fairly begun, and the busy spring
| days are here again, with so many
| things out doors and in to do
| one doesn't know which to do first.
1t is too had to miss the beautiful
sunny days by having to clean and
| scrub every room in the house, and
| yet it is the beauty of spring itself
| that prompts us to freshen our rooms,
| rake the leaves and litter of winter
| from our lawns, start the flower beds,
| and plan summer dresses. An old
| quotation always comes to me when
| gardening in the spring. | may have
used it before but no matter:
Go make thy garden fair as thou
canst,
Thou workest never alone;
| Perchance he whose plot is next to
thine,
| Win see it and mind his own"
Along this line of thought my eyes
| tell on these words in an editorial by
| Hiram Moe Greene, editor of
| Woman's World; DO not be idle
| especially in these times. Be at
work on some definite job. There
are lots of things you can do inside
| the house and out, that are to be
done. If you patch and repair, pick
up refuse, mend your fence, make
garden. wash and clean, you are add
ing something to your own worth
| and the wealth of the world" Some
thing in both quotations to think of,
as do these homely everyday
tasks.
| l have been remiss in thanking
those of the column who remembered
me with cards or booklets while in
the hospital last summer. but I APP
preciated their thoughtfulness
greatly. 1t was good to hear from
| friends. H. o. b. visited me fire.

has told you how we celebrated on
| the day of your reunion, my first day
| out of bed, and sang the original
songs, Cor tried to, for my voice was
a very quavering one,). that you were
| probably singing at the same time.
While gaining strength at my sis

through the adjoining towns, going
to Plymouth and many other historic
places. Ford would have made in
