THE ETERNAL SYMBOL

Easter, anniversary of the Resurrection and
real birthday of Christian civilization, again is
celebrated-as it has been for nearly 1900 years.
Primarily it is a religious festival Christian
ity's rallying day, on which the wise wandering
sheep return to the fold to hear inspiring sermons
that give many a new lease on life
The spirit Of Easter is the spirit of the Resur-
rection of spring - the awkening Of life, hope
and happiness after the long death Of winter. In
this sense, the Easter season is observed even IN
heathcn countries. The budding lily and the Eas-
ter egg are symbolic Of the eternal re-brth OF fe
Let us strive, this Easter, to resurrect the best
that lis in us and face the future with reborn
hope tolerance and Christian kindness to our
fellows, striving to extend the glad spirit OF Eas-
ter until it permeates all days of the year. >

GERMAN MARKS

If you are holding basket of German marks
the news from Berlin is sad In the last week Of
March, Germany added 8496, 100000 marks to its
paper currency in circulation. ..g...
This sort of initiation is the reason why Ger
man commodity prices advanced an average of 20
per cent in March. l.

When money is plentiful, prices are high The

game, with permanent cleanup only for the
gentleman who salts it away while sailing is good.

CONAN DOYLE ON SUICIDE

Suicide is futile, says Conan Doyle, travelling
salesman for spritualism. Doyle believes sui
cide's spirit, when it leaves the body carries with
it all the suffering that led to the sef-taking of
life
In other words, we might as we'll handle our
problems now. If we do not, they'll have to be
tackled in the hereafter.
The majority does not agree with some of Conan
Doyle's views But one thing is certain:
Problems in this earthly life can be lodged by
procrastinators, but only temporarily There is
always a day. of reckoning. And the longer a
problem is put off, the harder it is to solve.
There's no lasting escape.
Everything involved in human life grows with
time. Problems grow like asparagus

MIR. OBERHOFFER AND THE ORCHESTRA

We have gone "a long way in Minneapolis on
the road toward municipal appreciation, since
the first evening on which Emil 0berhoffer waved
his baton over the newly organized Symphony
Orchestra. 1t has been pleasant and profitable
journey along delightful road We,have grown
in cultural understanding. We have learned to
recognize and enjoy the best musical thoughts of
great composers We have watched the growth
of Minneapolis as musical center, and have seen
students come in constantly increasing numbers
in search of instruction and culture.
Now after nineteen years has come the parting
of the ways, and Mr.. Oberhoffcr, who has had so
large share in this work, who has himself grown
IN musicianship with the growth of the Orchestra
and the growth of the City is to go different
way
All Minneapolis wishes him WELL and feels sor-
row over his departure Mr.. Oberhoffer has done
a great work. His artistic leadership has been
of inestimable value to this community
The Orchestra, which has come to be so vital
factor in the life of the City, will go on to new
achievement. There are fields of new usefulness
for it to occupy. There is golden opportunity to
bring together in fruitful cooperation all the
musical interests that center here and to estab-
lish closer relationship of mutual hepfulness
between them and Orchestra. Just as a sugges-
ticn of what might be accomplished in this line
why could not the Orchestra give special educa-
schools?
Meanwhile it is hail and farewell to Mr. Ober-

GUN TOT1NG

Then you have the answer to the crime problem" :"
That is 80 pei Cent true With no revolvers
available, crooks-all of whom are towards, since
they haven't the courageto fight the battle Of life
honestly-might in some cases revert to spears
and war-clubs. Most Of, them, however would be
restrained by fear if they didn't have sure death

40 years, in the spiritualistic world, then moves
on to higher plane, says Conan Doyle, who as
serts he has talked with the dead.
This sort Of speculative philosophy does not ap-
peal to the average Christian, for it is form of
Brahmanism
The Brahmans of one school believe in trans
migration of souls-deeds in this life determining
conditions in the next, with the wicked born
again as outcasts or unclean animals, the good
passing on to the moon to work out their eventual
salvation through series of exstences, then back
to earth as a plant, later reborn as man of one
of the three higher castles.
The extremely good Brahman attains Nrvana-
as refined as gasoline.
