iQESyAZyJH first Easter morning that
800 brought joy and courage to
lfSs71ks@@SAsFn the followers of Jesus
ll@1r-4(ya Christ, and that strengtl-
ened them for the mission
which was theirs-and Is ours. In
one of his great discourses, He said
to His disciples: Therefore doth My
Father love Me, because | lay down
My life, that might take 1t again.
No man taketh it from Me, but lay
it down of Myself. / have power to
take it again." He did take it again.
Immediately following the words just
quoted is this: There was division
therefore again among the Jews for
these sayings. And many of them
said, He hath devil and is mad; why
hear We Him?" The old divisions still
persist But also there are many rep
resented by those who said: These
are not the words of him that hath
devil. Can devil open the eyes of
the blindY To all, to those who
would like to believe as we'll as to
those who believe Easter ought to be
| an inspiration. For it set in motion
! forces that have for 20 centuries
been working for the uplifting, bless
| ing and comforting of sinful and sor-
rowing men, and has cheered them
with the thought and assurance of a
life that can know only one death, and
that is the death unto sin. The empty
tomb proved little to those who saw 1t
they thought only that the body had
been removed. What overwhelmed
them with joy, and gave to them a
courage that nothing could daunt, was
their meeting with their Lord and
Leader, this together with the words
that He spoke to them. They knew
that He was "alive forevermore," that
He had won the victory, and that He
would be with them to the end of the
world SO they went everywhere
.'preaching the kingdom of God, and
4 teaching those things which concern
the Lord Jesus Christ" They were,
and still are witnesses to what they
had seen and heard, witnesses to the
great truth that life is stronger than
death, and may be deaths conqueror
Yet there are many Christians who
get little help or comfort from the
great Easter truth, who, as the say
ing is, accept" it, but do not really
believe it-have no. conviction of it.

And that is a great pity, for 1t In

NhSS ANIb0tINu
Residents Of Kensington have ex-
pressed considerable anxiety con-
corning the fence separating the
highway from the railroad pond
which adjoins the main road through
kensington. The body Of water,

road. presents menace to automo-
bile traffic unless it is securely
fenced and lately the barrier be-
tween the road and the lake has
fallen to the ground leaving the
driver unacquainted with the road
in danger OF running into the lake
The need Of the fence was DEM
onstrated several weeks ago when
an automobilist sent his car through
| a section OF the fence, the palings
being the only obstacle which pre-
vented a dive into the water. Sew
eral hundred feet of fencing are now
lying prone on the ground and Ken
singtonians who use the road are
, asking railroad authorities that they
repair the railing before an accident
sends some automobilist into an i'm

The Memorial Day exercises being
Held this afternoon in the old Beck
ley cemetery by pupils of the Shell
den school have brought to the at
tention Of residents the Immediate
need OF some official activities in
regards to caring for the cemetery
which is reported to be the oldest
and the worst kept burying ground
In the township.
Today's exercises by the school
children are not the only indications
Of the Sheldon schools interest in
the old plot. Prior to the services
at the old cemetery this afternoon.
It was necessary for pupils OF the
school to clear the land during their
spare time in order that the graves
which are to be decorated might be
seen through the tangle of tall grass
and brush which Qverruns the place.
kThe condition of neglect into which
1.-THE cemetery has fallen has called
for considerable comment from
Berlinites, especially those who have
ancestors buried in the place.
Until recently. Memorial Day ex-
ercises were held In the old ceme-
terry, as 1t was thought that no more
appropriate place could be found for
the decoration of the graves than in
q cemetery which contains the re-
mains of soldiers Of the Revolution
ary War, the War of 1872, the IN
dian Wars, the Mexican War, the
Civil War and the Spanish-American
War. Lately, however. with the
shifting of public activities towards
the Worthington ridge district, the
cemetery has fallen into dlsreputa-
bic condition. the entire care of the
place being left by town officials to
the pupils Of the Sheldon school.
While these children deserve much
credit in their annual clearing of the
land, they are naturally unqualified
to give the graveyard the attention
It deserves throughout the year
Consequently, during summer ana
autumn. the cemetery presents an
appearance little short of disgrace
ful, residents state.
In commenting on the need for Of
ocial action. Miss Mary f. Griswold
superintendent of schools, who, ar
ranged the exercises this afternoon
said that the cemetery was In dire
need of public interest and that II
seemed a shame that Berlin should
40 neglect one of its most historical
burying ground.
"The children Of the Sheldon
school," Miss Griswold stated. "are
worthy of all the praise which might
he given them in connection with
their clearing the land for the exer'
cises. However. they can only part.

shoulders by the town and they are
not capable of keeping the plot in
the condition which it certainly de.
serves.
TT is my belief that there is g

the expenditure of 500 a year or

II this appropriation has been car
