EDITORIAL
THE ETERNAL SYMBOL.


EASTER, anniversary of the Resur-
- rection and real birthday of
Christian civilization, again is cele-
brated-as it has been for nearly
1900 years.
Primarily it is a religious festival,
Christianity's rallying day, on which
the wise wandering sheep return TO
The fold to hear inspiring sermons
that give man new lease on life,
The spirit Of Easter is the srf't
of Resurrectlon--of spring - the
awakening of life, hope and happi-
ness after the long death Of winter.
In this sense, the Easter season is
observed even in heather countries.
The budding lily and the Easter egg
are symbolic of the enternal rebirth
of life.
Let us strive, this Easter, to resur-
rect the best that is in US and face
the future with reborn hope, toler-
ance and Christian kindness to our
fellows, striving to entend the glad
spirit of Easter until it permcates
all days of the year.

THE NATIONAL PAsTIME.

A form of baseball was played
thousands of years ago among the
Greeks. Colonial youngsters of
George Washington's day played

The Knickerbocker Club, which
originated modern baseball in l845,
had its first rival in THE New York
Nine"
June 10, 1916, the two clubs met
at Hoboken, N. j., in the first real
baseball contest. Knickerbockers
lost, 20 to /, though rules then in
force gave the decision to the first
team scoring Il runs.
In that first match, it took only
-four innings to win the game. A
batter was out if the ball were
caught on "a bounce Pitcher, in
stead Of hurting, used straight-arm
motion.

afternoon when the child was missed,
An hour later, a woman coming from

coming from the same direction and was
about passing when she noticed it max
