ness Should Be Parts Of the
FestaI Season.

Casters new hope arises from q
gravel The exuberant promises of
spring always do come from previous
burials.
But spring always is the season Of
hope and promise, of rising in great
er richness and beauty than was the
sowing. Our disappointments, our
losses, our hardships, were sown,
buried. There LET them lie! Let
Hope arise, let the dead past give
rise to a brighter present and future.
Help on the promises Of the verdant
spring with new vigof, new life, new
cheerfulness.
We can do much by CHEEKY speech,
by cheerful faces, by happiness in
work, by trust in the future, to bring
on the good times we are always
looking forward to.
Keep smiling, keep keen and fresh,
keep busy, forget the dead past, trust
the future, that Is the lesson of
spring, and of the Easter hope!

rising out Of its green leaves. The
other is black and ugly. But what is
this? A bulb, an Easter lily bulb.

"Now do you know why Christ

to tell US that we are really buried

A pilgrim Of the spring
When ! went up to Nazareth
The earth was blossoming!
saw the blue flower of the hax
Beside q shepherds fold!
Along the hillsides' stony tracks
found the marigold!
The iris raised shimmering spire
OF beauty at my feet!
The poppy was a cup Of fire
Among the cooling wheat!
When ! went up to Nazareth
marked how time came down
With blighting dust and whitening breath
Upon the hallowed town!
The years that buried Babylon
Were drifting to efface
The steps Of Mary's Heavenly Son.
His dwelling and his race!
But still read his permanence
BY signs that never din;
With all their ancient eloquence
The lilies spoke Of Him! .......
