Jens Hansen, father of Andy and
Theodore Hansen, managers of the
PlentywOod Flour Mill, who former
ly used to reside at Dagmar, and who
used also to be interested in the Plen-
tywood Flour Mill, and who had been
for many years a very prominent
farmer and citizen of the Dagmar
country, returned Thursday from
Portland where he spent the winter
with son who resides there, much
improved in health.
Mr.. Hansen was in a very pre-
carious condition of health when he
left Plentywood early last fall and
nearly died before he arrived at Port
land. AS soon as he arrived he went
to the hospital where he was operat-
ed upon for gall stones and a stone
weighing nearly a half pound was
removed. Since he has improved
rapidly in health and now appears
ten years younger than he did and
has gained considerably in weight.
Mr.. Hansen will go into the mill again
with his sons besides looking after
his farming interests in the Dagmar
country this season.

the morning.
The season of the year. as well as
the Spirit of the Festival makes an

Those who first heard the glad
message were out very early "as it

find the dead body of their Saviour
but they found a living Saviour. That
is after all the mightiest Truth in the
world today. He is risen-Jesus
lives! 1t is this living, resurrected,
glorified Sen of God that we worship
on Easter Day. He was raised again
unto our Justification and has made
possible the forgiveness of sin for
sin-burdened humanity that all may
come and receive a full and free Sal
walton in His name. This message
has been the inspiration and regen-

is the only hope in the ages to come.
