TO feel our hearts strongly uplift-
ed and profoundly disturbed. Ii is
the scene Of supreme love for hu-
manity, Of unfaltering loyalty to
God. In the former aspect it brings
TO us hope and consolation; in the
latter it challenges us to examine
the nature Of our faith and the
manner Of Its exercise.
looking at the universe from
the standpoint of the Cross we dis
cover the tremendous truth that
back of all phenomena is love. No
matter how much Of surface con-
tradiction there may be! no mat
ter how many things appear in the
history of the race, in the facts
displayed by science, in the expe-
rience of the individual, which run
counter to love, Calvary, If it has
any meaning at all, means that the
ultimate controlling fact is love.
God Is loVe-that is what the
Cross means. And If the ultimate
significance Of life and the uni
verge is God, then love is the su-
prefne motive and power, which, in
the end, must explain all, must rec
onefle all, must restore everything
ana in all life the harmony and
happiness which our failure to I'M
derstand and to believe this truth
have lost to US for time.
Faiths Foundation.
When faith lays hold upon this
fact 1t gets solid ground beneath
its feet. Nor can it be easily con-
founded by appearances. 1t has
learned that the contradictions of
appearance are due to the incom-
plefeness of vision when life Is re-
garded from any other standpoint
than that Of Calvary. Only at the
foot Of the Cross, at the summit
Of the little hill, can we see things
In their completeness. We must
keep coming back to it for re-
newed realization of the truth
that when life is viewed steadily
and as whole, from this focal
point of Gods purpose, love is seen
to be the heart of 1t.
Bot when faith finds the comfort
Of This fact it faces, also, the chal-
leRge which lies in it.
The practical significance Of the
fact rests in the response which
faith makes to it. The fact must
be- acted upon.
We derive no benefit from the
universal atmosphere if we do not
breathe It into our lungs. A man
with nostrils stopped and mouth
closed, dying of suffocation, does
mol disprove the existence Of air.
re proves only his own folly in
failing to appropriate the essen
tiu element abundantly provided
for his life. IF the room becomes
sttsiing and respiration difficult we
throw open the window, acting
upon our faith that Gods supply
Of air is ample.
Gods Lows All Powerful.
Calvary Is challenge to faith
foxaat upon Its belief that love is
tlse supreme force In the universe

agreed they would not join in sing
ing the hymns at the morning sery-
Ice. But some loyal soul told the
preacher about the plot.

Time 4M
of Romance H{hW

F~1ASTER has always been the
1871 time of budding romance. In
III all the ages, numerous fes-
U rivals have offered opportu
AsaS1R>S mites for the SWANS to
press their suits upon the ladies
OF their choice. There was the
sugar cupping," to which only the
unmarried came. The youths and
maidens. armed with a cup and
sugar or honey, came to the flower
decked well, and dipping the sug-
AIRED cup into the well, muTmured
an incantation to the spirit that
dwelt there, and then drank the
water. The Incarnation is a secret,
but it is believed that the object
was to make a wish, and promise
allegiance to the spirit, if the wish
were fulfilled.
1t has long been considered a ne
cessity, on Easter day, TO wear
something new; otherwise the
rocks, enyious of human finery,
might cause your best clothes to
tear. To avoid this the young peo-
pie of European villages 60 to the
market to buy a small article of
wearing apparel. The custom of
giving presents, especially gloves
is common in New England. In
France the custom of wearing
something new prevails to such an
extent that every woman considers
herself very ill-treated, indeed, if
she has not a new cap to wear on
Good Friday, and a new hat to
wear on Easter Sunday. AS a con
sequence, these days are called the
feast of caps and the feast of hats.
On the continent of Europe there
are numerous parades, attended by
great pomp and splendor. In COM
paratively recent times the noble
man of the district, accompanied
by his suite, rode IL state through
the town, scattering coins pell
nell, the peasants standing by,
loudly applauding such splendor.
In Spain there is the custom of
the Easter king. who. wearing o
tin crown and floWislling a kitchen
spit as scepter. furnishes a RI
bald counterpart of the English
Lord of Misrule. There is also an
ostentatious hanging and burning
of a stuffed figure of Judas. After
the fire is out the merrymakers
dance over it, stamping and scat,
tering the ashes Of the effigy.

Tn an intelligence test, which

The blank was TO be filed in
with the most fitting of a list of
words. Improbable" unlikely"

with the word improbable" In
stead of absurd" which was Of
course the most appropriate word.

sepulcher.
And behold there was a great
earthquake, for the angel of the
Lord descended from heaven and
came and rolled back the stone
from the door and sat upon it.
His countenance was like light.
ming and his raiment white as
snow.
And for fear of Him the keepers
did shake and become as dead men.
And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear ye not, for
! know that ye seek Jesus, which
was erucified.
He is not here, for He is risen,
as He said. Come, see the place
where the Lord lay.
And go quickly and tell His dis
eipes that He Is risen from the
dead, and, behold, He goeth before
you into Galilee; and there shall
we see Him; 10, have told you.
And they departed quickly from
the sepulcher with fear and great
joy; and did run to bring His dis
cipies word.
And as they went to tell His dis
ciples, behold, Jesus met them,
saying, All hail. And they came,
and held Him by the feet, and wor-
SHIPPED Him.
Then said Jesus unto them, Be
not afraid: 90 tell my brethren
that they go Into GaliIee, and there
shall they see me.
Then the eleven disciples went
away into GaliIee, into nountaIa
where Jesus had appointed them.

 One-lifth Laundrymen
 According 10 the census of 1920, Of the 42 races and nationalities in this country the Chinese population is 18th. There are about one half as many Chinese as Japanese in the United States. Although mining first attracted the Chinese to America, only l50 Chinese miners exist here today. Some twelve thousand Chi tion in America are in the laundry business. About the same number are restaurant keepers, walters and servants. On the Pacific coast are many Chinese truck gardners. small farmers. and nurserymen. San Fran cisco. New York and other large cities contain Chinese merchant and banking firms which carry on ex- tensive business operations.
 Some of these importing and ex- porting houses have a steady trade in such staple products as milk. tea, porcelain. dried eggs, bristles. and wood oil. Other Chinese products. such as hair nets and Ma Jong sets follow the whims of fashion. Chi nese rugs, embroideries and objects of art have increased greatly in Western demand during the last de- cade.
 There are 6,00Oo Chinese students of all ages and both sexes in Amer ican institutions of learning. Some six hundred Of these are government students supported through the Box CT Indemnity fund which was re- turned by the United States. These government students come not only from Canton. but from all parts of China Since the world war many high class Chinese business men have come to the United States. While the Chinese population of America Is today less than 1t was 50 years ago, prosperity and new emigration have produced a more solid and representative community than coolie laborers of the gold rush days. many of whom nevertheless founded family fortunes that still endure.'
