Some Democratic Senators are

that the distribution of work relief

King, of Utah, recently laid out his

A RECENT ESTIMATE of the
losses by the Eastern foods has it
that 425,000 or more persons were
made homeless and destitute by this
great calamity: Perhaps a large
part of these folks have by this time
been able to go back to their flooded
homes. Many who attempted to go
back found only heaps of wreckage.
The roof over their heads and the
walls that shut out the cold are to-
day scattered over the river banks,
or carried out to sea as pathetic
driftwood.
What thoughts must come to such
a family. when they return to the
loved spot of home, and find it
changed to a scene of desolation!
Many of these folks toiled and saved |
week by week, to make payments on
these homes Probably most of them
never anticipated any such loss or
covered it by insurance They must |
wonder what kind of a world we live
in, when giant forces rise in a night,
and hurl the puny works of man to
the ground. 1t is like a house of
cahds, which a child sweeps over
with his restless hands.
The majority who have gone back
to the flooded homes have found them
standing, but in sorry condition,
with thick layers of dirty mud and
refuse. Costly repairs are needed in
many cases. That also is sicken-
ing experience. 1t is enough to take
the courage out of many hearts.
Yet the generous offering of money
from all over the land comes flowing
into those towns, and proves that
kindness and sympathy are not dead.
No one should lose heart. Life is full
of losses, which just have to be taken.
Everybody gets some hard knocks.
The ones who succeed in life are
those who can pick themselves up
after a hard blow, recover their
poise, develop a smile through the
tears, and resolve to try it again.
Every hard experience develops
plans out of which such troubles are
avoided in future.

Milford, Friday April 10, 1886

WHAT DOES EASTER mean to
you? If you visit many cities, you
will see that to many people it means
a chance to wear the glad new
clothes, and see lovely ladies and
proud looking men walk the streets
as if they were kings and queens.
Ie one is specially interested in wo-
mems costumes, it must be extreme
ly difficult to keep ones mind on the
minister's eloquence, with all this
marvellous chance to see which way
the cat of style is going to jump.
You will find some folks occupying
the church seats who rarely attend
at other times. Where formerly the
minister's voice may have echoed
through forbiddingly empty pews,
now you may have to stand. Did
these folks come to hear the singers
touch their high notes, the thunder
Gus peal of the organ, the philosophy
of the minister? Or was it just the
desire to follow the crowd? The
minister would like to know. He
tries hard to make every other ser
vice equally good.
In many churches. Easter is
pageantry of light and color, beauti-
full as a display, even if one did not
understand a word said or sung. The
singers have been rehearsing their
melodies for many a day. The
worlds masters of music have pro-
duced imperishable harmOnies for
this occasion. which lift the soul
above the cares of daily life. The
flower decorations fill the church
with color and fragrance. while
bright faces and colOrful garments
make a picture long to be remem-
bered
The Christian Church did not in
stitute this occasion merely to make
a colorful spectacle. Those who
only see the surface aspects miss
something. There is a thought UNI
der that glitter that reaches down
to the depth of our natures. 1t tells
us that this life is not all, and that
for those who seek it, there is some
hing else beyond.

every Sunday at p. m. This Sum
day the Easter lesson will be stud
led. Let's all be in our places. There

and spend an enjoyable evening with
us and hear the ever beautiful story
of Easter in song and verse.
A very successful week of revivals
closed on Sunday night at StaytOns-
vile Church. Our guest evangelist
in charge for the week was Rev. w.
w. Warrington from near George
town. There were Is conversions.
The young peoples meetings under
the leadership of Miss Kathryn Dom
OVan accomplished quite lot in the
study of the Bible. The following is
a short summary of the work stud
led: Definition of prayer, grace be-
fore meals, prayer before retiring,
ten commandments. beautitudes,
23rd Psalm, golden rule, twelve dis
ciples of Christ, books of both the |
old and new testament; description
Of the life of Christ Who is the d.

and we hop led closer To Christ. We
hank all who helped in anyway to
make these services a success.

! THE SACRED WRITER said that
the three greatest things are faith,
hope, and love. The Easter celebra-
ton combines all three elements. 1t
brings us a message Of faith, which
refuses to believe that this world is
a soulless machine, in which hui
man life is an unfortunate accident.
It has. faith that a universe in which
such infinite wisdom has been mani
tested on its mechanical side, must
be no less perfect in it's organization
Of human life, and in its provision
for the welfare of the beings which it
has created.
AS the day of hope, Easter tells us
that life does not grow darker as we
draw toward its end. It believes
that life is a kind of school, and that
the graces and capacities which we
develop as we travel this pilgrim
path are not lost, and will not be
thrown away by a beneficient Gre
ator. 1t says that those who have
developed these powers will have a
chance to use them hereafter.
Easter sees the love OF parents and
husbands and wives, friends
and friends. 1t argues that if there
Is no love in the universe, then the
-hings which the creator has made
must be greater and better than the
;reator. a result which seems incon-

Mystical substances. There is a soul

hat these souls and spirits, the most

uced, should be allowed to die. Eas-
er says that this life moves on into

Nelson Eddy, popular radio,
screen and concert artist, was
greeted with thunderous plaudits
from the audience which filled
every seat in Constitution Hall yes
terday afternoon.
Combining the romanticism
which surrounds movie heroes with
a suberb voice, and an appealing
stage personality, Mr.. Eddy quickly
captured his audience. Hundreds
of requests for favorite selections
were showered upon Mr.. Eddy;
one request for "Ah, Sweet Mys-
terry" was written on a piece Of
used wallpaper.
One Of the most notable things
that characterized Mr.. Eddy's re-
cital was his timely explanations
of the songs which he sang in for
eign languages, such as the Frat
Catcher" (Hugo Wolff; the Py-
renean folk song "a young swain
singing the praises Of a blonde) !:
and "Quand La Flamme d'Amour."
from Daughter Of Perth" (Bizet) t.
His Interpretation Il the slightly
inebriated singer in "Quand lie
F1amme d'Amour," brought gales
Of laughter from the audience as
did also the final encore, Song Of
the Flea" (MouSSorgSky). His care
full diction made every word I'M
derstood even in the Nightmare
Song" from "Iolanthe" Colbert
and Sullivan.
It was plainly evident that the
audience appreciated the FREEDOM
nance Of songs in English. His
songs were chosen with rare taste,
including works in German, Ital-
ian and French texts. His voice
which is flexible, resonant and Of
pleasing timbre, was heard to best
advantage in lagos Credo, "Van-
ne! La tua meta gio vedo!" from
"Otello" (VerdD. AS an encore
he sang Bon piu andrai," from
Marriage of Figaro" (Mozart) i.
Mr.. Eddy was fortunate indeed
to command the services Of Theo-
dore Paxson, pianist, as his &C
companiSt. Mr.. PaxSon played
entirely from memory with the
result that he was able to devote
his undivided attention to a most
sympathetic background for the
vocalist. In his piano solos, ITO
catta and Fugue in D Minor"
(Bach), and the encore Malaga
ena" Oacuona), Mr.. PaXSon con-
veyed a delicate sense Of expires.
sion with Q skilled technique.
While yesterday was the first
recital appearance of Nelson Eddy
in Washington, not many realize
that he has been concertizing in
this country for eight years. Hav-
ing received national acclaim
through his movie and radio per
formanceS in the past year, his
name is frequently associated with
the popular type Of music.
ANY such ideas were soon dis
PEELED in the minds Of those who
heard him yesterday. Mr.. Eddy
has in his repertoire a number Of
grand opera roles, on which he is
continually working and perfect
ing his Interpretation. He will
return to Hollywood in two weeks
to work on a new picture, the
name Of which he does not as yet
know.
Mr.. Eddy informed us that all
Of his 40-odd recitals so far this
season have been completely sold
