Henry Shines the German multi millionaire,
who died last Thursday, was peculiar character,
probably much misunderstood. He amassed fabu
lous wealth from start as laboring man, thru
wartime speculation in the depreciation of the
mark But he never cared for the luxury that
wealth could command and went around as one
writer expressed it, Cooking like lump of coal
from one of his own coal mines 1t was said
he had only two boasts, that he could buy
out anyone in Europe "and not miss the money"
the other that he had never the exiled kaiser
and wouldn't turn his head to look at him If he
passed in the street. SHINES accounted a
hard man, yet only after his death did it come
out that he provided the entire upkeep of the
municipal kitchens, founding home and home
for nursing mothers in Muelheim, adjoining his
own house His contributions to hospitals, IN
stitutions and individuals cannot be computed, as
SHINES did not permit the use of his name In
connection with charitable and relief work. All
of which goes to show that one never knows where
la kind hearts beats, after all-Jordan Indepen-
dent.

Old Age and the Dollar

Jersey City Journal: One of the
most pathetic things in Germany is
the aged couple who saved for years
to provide for their old age and now
find their life savings wiped out by
the collapse of the marks value.
But to how many has it occurred
that the same thing on smaller scale
has happened right here in America!
Old people who thought they HAD
saved enough to care for them in
their old age now find that the dollar
will buy only as much as 60 cents
would have bought in 1914. In effect,
40 cents of the original dollar has dis
appeared as a result of the rise in
cost of living.
That's unfortunate, but war is wal,
and there's no escape from paying
the piper once we dance to Mars mu-
sic.
However, every cloud has silver

Judge Jos. Burke of Chicago was recently
called upon to settle domestic difficulties in fam
lily where the wife controlled the purse of the
family. The Judges final decision II shall
put him in charge of the pocket book, for man
cannot crawl to wife and retain his sef-respeet.
When we think of the thousands of women who
in all generations have had to Crawl to the
husband for every fifty cent piece they have
needed, we could pray for woman judge to settle
such case just once. Without being too hard
on the Chicago barrister we find it in our heart
to hope that he has just one short visit from the
ghosts of each one of these Crawling" women o.
past generations. Men are men-and bound to
preserve the dignity Of the sex.

lining. For instance, 60 cents saved
now will be worth about one dollar
later, not counting any increase by in
terest, provided the buying power OF
the dollar eventually returns to norm
al.
A score of years may pass before
cost of living gets back to its old-tine
level, supposing that it ever will.
That's just about when old age will
be creeping up to many of US.
Even if the dollar does not return
to it's pre-war value in purchasing
power, the dollar saved now will be
worth much more later.
So, if you would provide nest egg
for old age, save now.
Money at 4 per cent doubles in less
than eighteen years.
That's one way to Offset deprecia-
ton of buying power.

I'm THE BEGINNING WAS"

7 Asst SUNDAY was Easter.
Does that fact mean anything to the
- world?
Is Easter fact?
Does the event it stands for belong to the
neurological, the traditional the historical?
Is the Christ story fact or fiction?
IT.
These are questions that the centuries have
battled with.
All manner of answers have been given and
of these answers have been transmitted
from generation to generation, from centur'
to century-each period modifying the answer
received and transmitting it in garb-if
not in new essence-to the succeeding period.
The truth symbolized by Easter does not
change.
Truth can not change, neither does age i'm
prove it.
Besides there is no age to truth Truth is
always the same.
"In the beginning was the Word and the
Word with God and the Word God
Such is the testimony of the Word itself, as
given through the medium of the Record trans
mitted by the Holy Saint John.
#
The trouble with so much of our so called
human philosophy is that it insists on locaizing
truth. We associate certain eternal principles
with time and place.
We speak of the revelation of truth as Il
it were the creation, the birth of truth. AS
if truth could be born, or even have begin
ming when as matter of fact truth is without
beginning and without end.
The Resurrection is net fact that was,
but truth that is

The contents of the cup are of more impor-
lance than the material from which the cup
is made and the gem is superior to the setting.
#
Without going into the ntricacies of creeds
and formulas we should all be able to accept the
fact which Easter stands fof-the Resurrection
the triumph Of Life over Death.
The message of Easter is that Life and not
Death is eternal.
The Resurrection twas from the beginning
is now and shall be, world without end"
Easter is the day of life. 1t is the fountain
of youth eternal 1t is the door through which
we enter into the Kingdom of Light. 1t is on
the wings of an Easter morning that each sou
must be carried into the dawn of Eternal Day.
Lie mas meaning ana purpose only as these
are given it by the Resurrection. That is why
the principle of Easter is eternal-that is why
it was, is and ever shall be.

The flowers, the trees and the grass, man

as human mind can fathom there is but one enc

To save us from this ruin the principle Of

Light OF Love ana IN tnaC Lagnt Is Iue Piihci-
pie of Life-Life Everlasting.
Before this Light, Darkness, with all its
Powers, must beat retreat.
Before this Light the World-Soul takes on a
new aspect. Rays from the Sun of the Resur
rection kiss the clod and flowers of hope and
ioy and kindness and charity spring forth un-
til the whole landscape reflects the smile of the
Living God.
f.
It is the vision of Easter that makes the
world worth while.
1t is the truth of the Resurrection that has
kept the spirit of man struggling upward through
all the centuries.
Though from the beginning the Age of Man
has been dark ,betmes this Star of Life has
ever and anon appeared and re-appealed upon
the horizon to guide and cheer the weary ira
veler.
Into the keeping of man God at the begin
ming delivered spark, white-heated in the furn-
ace of divine love. This spark was the earnes+
of Eternal Life-God's attest to the fact that
there is Resurrection
In every race, in every age, the power OF
this spark has borne witness in the faith OF
men.
Before Abraham was, men hardened to the
voice of God as within their own bosoms it spoke
Of the Resurrection. And from the day of Abra
ham to our own that voice has proclaimed
the same message, that Life is ever Lord Of
Death
#
Like every Eternal Truth the message Oh
Easter is one that pervades the whole of ma
ture, goes to the very essence of all things, ami
mate.
The billions of planets that stud the heavens
gather on Easter morning to hear the Resurrec-
ton sermon from the Throne of God.
; You and l in our humble soul-pews, hearing
the same voice that speaks to the planets toucn
ed by the spirit of universal awe, bow our heads
in reverent alteration.
For the message of the Resurrection is not
only message to the countless worlds that
sweep through space, but it is message to the
broken, bleeding, doubling, dying hearts of the
humblest human beings.
Yes, the message of Easter is an individual
well universal message. To each
and each woman it is a call to service and to
call to love and life!
#
We often hear the Call of the Cross stressed
and we are adnlonished to live in the light of
that CALL but let US not forget that there is
call of the Resurrection as WELL
Easter, with it's call Of the Resurrection, It's
call to- life, is event that has a message TO,
the here and now. 1t says to the soul Look
up! 1t says to the heart Be of good cheer.
1t says to man: Live and be happy.
The message of the Resurrection is happl
ness-the happiness that comes from purity ano
innocence, the happiness that is the hand
maiden of truth and duty.
The message of Christ is a message of His
Resurrection contained in this His saying
Because l live, We shall live also."-Minneota

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are CONSTANTLY in direct

preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
tiohs. The mild and healing influ-

highest from it's remarkable record
of success,
An examining physician for one
of the prominera Life Insurance
companies in an interview of the
subject, made : the astonishing
statement that one reason why so
many applicants for Insurance. are
rejected is because kidney trouble
is so common to the American peo
pie, and the large majority of those.
whose applications are declined do
not even suspect that they have the
disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is on sale at all drug stores in bot
ties of two sizes. medium and
large.

CONSTRUCTION OF
BRIDGE ASSURED

ATLANTA, Ca, March Al
Though the bill authorizing con
struction of a bridge over ST.
Mary's river at ,WiIds Landing,
Camden county, is being held up
| in the HoNse, passage of the meas
ure at an early date, is practically
assured, according to John S. Hot
der, state highway commissioner.
Action on the bill, which was
favorably reported by a House cont
mittee, was halted when group
of men who attempted to build che
bridge several years ago, asked re-
endorsement for the money spent
in the project at that time. The
bill was heldup until their claims
could be sttled. Mr. Holder stated
that the measure will undoubtedly
pass when the matter Of these
claims is settled.
The proposed bridge will connect
Georgia and FLORIDA. IL VIII cost
$15O,O0O, of which sum, Florida
will pay 100000 and Georgia $50
600, it was stated.
Mr., Holder has just returned
from tour of inspection of high
ways in about 20 counties of the
state. He said that added proVi-
sons had been made for the main
tenance of highways this year and
indications are that the roads will
be kept in better condition than
ever before. Maintenance crews
have been furnished more equip
ment and more men, and sections to
be maintained by the crews have,
been shortened, he said.
