Soul Finds Hope
in Easter Message

The greatest word in mans phi
losophy is Hope. The rags of life
are never too tattered to conceal
somewhere this tiny sublimity; the
years are never too heavy or drag
ging to deny it's existence; the
wreckage of yesterday never so
pitifully complete as to make the
victim release his clutch on the
precious seed of tomorrow.
Easter is Hope. There is the
glorious burgeOning of a magnifi-
cent possibility; an overwhelming
denial of extinction; promise, as
radiant as ever man dreamed of ;
and somewhere in it, indestructible,
eternal, conviction that cruSheS
all challenge
1t is easy TO be philosophical
when all things go well. But hope
is the hearts fruit of the poor in
spirit, as ii is the reinsurance of
those strong in faith. 1t clasps the
feeble, uncertain hand and places
it firmly once more on the thread
of existence. and its voice urges
rhe halting footsteps once more
forward to the goal of fulfillment.
What is the intended meaning of
these eloquent lilies but the burst
ing ecstasy Of the hidden bulbs?
What this budding spring but the
renewal of life in it's endless cycles
of slumber and awakening? What
this great tragedy of Golgotha but
the essential prelude to a Iiberat-
ing resurrection?
By the darkness of the storm and
the shadows of the night we recOg-
niZe, In contrast. the flooding of
the earth by the light of the sun.
By the pain AMI disappointment of
yesterday we sense overpoweringly
the happiness of today. BY the
path we have walked we know
that the goal is the more precious.
We hope, always hope, that life
leads to climax worthy of the
toll and the journey. Easter says
the hope is true, that life is a prep
aration, and death the liberatOr.
Easter is the unquenchable torch.

EASTER LILIES

OF ALL the flowers that open in
~ the spring none so beautifully
typifes the religious sentiment as the
lily. The Easter lily has become the
symbolic flower of the resurrection
Of Christ. Once it was known as the
Persian Beauty. but tradition tells us
hat the flower turned from yellow to
white as the Virgin plucked it and
held it in her hand. 1t is also known
as the Fluer de Marie, the flower of
Mary. Dante spoke of the Easter lily
as the lily of the Arno. Tasso called
it the golden lily and Solomon sang
Of the 'lilies of the field" St. Joseph's
staff budded and lilies bloomed forth.

Lucky Day

Three candlesI And each one rep

This is Carolyn Babush, of 300
Downer Ave-, Milwaukee, Wiscon-
sin. Her mother says:
"My mother used California Fig
Syrup, and when Carolyn became
constipated we got some. 1t re-
lieved her constipation, sweetened
her breath, made her well and
happy. 1 have since used it for all
her upsets and colds. 1t has kept
her strong and energetic"
For fifty years, mothers have used
California Fig Syrup to overcome a
child's bilious, headachy, feverish or
fretful spells. Doctors recommend
it's soothing aid to keep bowels clear
in colds or children's ailments; or
whenever bad breath, coated tongue
or listlessness warn of constipa-
ton. 1t assists in building up weak
children.

pagan and Christian in origin. Ma

attractive raiment, and It was
thought only fitting that the peo-
pie, too, should signalize the great
change. The Christian conception
of "newness of life" here and here
after was symboIized appropriate
ly by the white robes worn on the
occasion of their baptism by con-
verts to the faith. These robes
also had reference to the garb of
the angels seen at Christ's tomb.

World Pays Tribute at
VAN Shrine of Bobby Burns


Many places have been made" by
the genius Of a great writer. Scott has
done more for the tourist agencies
and the railways OF England than any
Of his countrymen, because his range
was so wide He discovered the Tros-
sachs and Loeb Katrine, and even
made the Peak Of Derbyshire world
famous. But there are no more hal
lowed spots than those which dot the
Burns country.
The country town Of Ayr lies in the
center Of fine sandy coast, with won
derful sea view across the great firth.
There is no house in the kingdom, no
palace or castle or great mansion. that
has half the attraction for the world
as the little matched bggin at AL
loway where Robert Burns was born.
In it's visitors book are inscribed the
names of men and women famous In
literature, art and statecraft, the
names of peers ard peasants and OF
kings, all come to worship at the
shrine of genius.
Close by is the Aud Brig O. Doom,
leaping in single gray and graceful
span the little stream whose name
has gone round the world. Close by,
too, is the haunted kirk, where Tam
o. Shanter saw witches and warlocks
holding revelry in it's churchyard. In
the town itself can still be seen the
Aud Brig of Ayr, the theme of one
of his finest poems, whilst the river
Ayr is forever associated with the ode.

After 40
Bowel trouble is
Most Dangerous

Constipation may easily become
chronic after forty. Continued con-
stipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of piles-and host
of other disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age. /.
Guard them with particular care
after forty. When they need help,
remember a doctor should know
what is best for them.
CDR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin"
Is a Doctors prescription for the
BOWELS. Tested by Al years prac-
tice, it has been found thoroughly
effective in relieving constipation
and it's ills for men, women and
children of all ages. 1t has proven
perfectly safe even for babies. Made
from fresh, laxative herbs, pure pep
sin and other harmless ingredients,
it cannot grippe; will not sicken you
or weaken you; can be used with
out harm as often as your breath is
bad, your tongue is coated; when
ever headachy, bilious, gassy con-
dition warns Of constipation.
Next time just take a spoonful
of this family doctors laxative.
See how good it tastes; how gently
and thoroughly it acts. Then you
will know why it has become the
worlds most popular laxative. Big
bottles-all drugstores.

Mans Better Half

The correct expression as used in
the Bible to describe mans wife is
helpmeet. In Genesis 2:18 is this:
"And the Lord God said 1t is not good
that the man shall be alone; l will
make him a help meet for him." Meet
is here used to mean fit or suitable
a helper suitable for him. The words
were combined as helpmeet to mean a
wife, and changed by popular misuse
to helpmate, and both words now are
recognized as proper.

ance of white, black, and gray is noted

Contrasting patterning and color ar
rangement in the yoke and scarf make
the costume unusually attractive.
Angora embroidery is another deco
rative feature in the knitted realm.
Tailored knitted suits designfully
worked with angora are hignlighted
throughout resort collections, which is
assurance of their prestige for spring.
The tunic blouse and lakewood
sweaters are also contributing factors
to knitted modes for now and for the
season to come. Bouclette tunic

tured the fancy of style-minded wom-

ment, for resort wear to complete mod

sweaters which space lacy knit with
