SPECIAL DELIVERY.

all right, all right, when he delivers
mail at the home Of Miss Anna L.
Pierce. And he's careful now to see
that none of his fingers project
through the mail slot.
He's cleared up mystery, too
Seems one morning Miss Pierce found
the finger of a mans glove in the mid
die of the living room floor. Couldn't
be traced to any one in the family or
to any visitors. and the suspicion
grew that there had been robbers
about, wearing gloves as a protection
against fngerprints.
Few days later the postman re-
lieved everybody's mind by Appearing
wearing working glove minus one
finger. Seems Ted, the pet terrier
Of the household, had been in ar
extra hurry to deliver the mail tc
his mistress one morning, took g
finger of the glove along with the
letters. Then Ted evidently decided
the glove-fnger didn't look like any
mail he'd handled before and Just
dropped it on the floor and carried the
letters as usual.
LADIES' DAY.
SOMEBODY took us out to Mr.

and planted us in a handsome box
seat right near the home plate. 1t
was ladies day and next door was
probably the most nervous of all the
feminine sports fans in the park,
Every time the Washington club got in
a tight spot or in scoring position
she'd close her eyes and humble softly
to herself. Then when the shouting
died down she'd tap us on the shoulder
and ask, Did he score?"
Finally the eavesdropper in us came
out and we stuck out an ear next
time she went through the ritual. Sc
help tbs, she wasn't just mumbline
she was praying.

needs all the friendships she can muster.
There is nothing in it to support the
theory that Yugoslavia is prepared to lend
itself to Fascist expansion adventures,
though it assures italy valuable protec-
ton against danger on her eastern flank
in case of war. The fact that the Bel
grade government is host to this week S
conference Of the Little Entente powers,
called to consider revision of the mill
tary clauses OF the tripartite alliance,
indicates that Yugoslavia remains loyal
to the partnership. At present the
clauses apply only against Hungary and
Bulgaria. Czechoslovakia wants them
widened to provide against aggression
from Germany. Rumania welcomes the
idea because she fears Russia. Yugo-
slavia, because of her new friendships
with both Germany and Italy, has been
reluctant to broaden the military scope
of the compact, but is now believed ready
to accept q scheme for common defense
against all aggression.

apart from Him we shall find little of
satisfaction IN the speculations Of men.
I have dealt with men and women in
sorrow through long ministry, but in
all my experience have never been able
to bring light and comfort to darkened
room which death had invaded saving
with the message Of Him who defeated
the grave, bringing life and Immortality
to light on that first Easter morning. He
answers as no one else ever has the
deepest yearnings of the human heart.
There may be times land this present
age may be one of them where men grow
Indifferent and unresponsive to the
larger appeal of life and to that which
Easter eloquently sets forth, but when
the stress Of life is on, when its shadows
are darkest, men inevitably seek for that
which satisfies its deepest longing.

beloved dead Such is not the normal
way of men: they cannot dispossess
themselves of the longing for that fuller,
more complete life, that means the reali-
zation of their highest hopes and that
in their better hours they believe lies
beyond the last frontier. of which the
risen Savior is the supreme exponent.
1t is with the assurance which such
a hope gives us that we may meet the
sternest issues of life, rise superior to its
disappointments and defeats, and even
beside our silent dead feel within us
the pulsings of Immortality Said the
conquering Master, In the world ye
shall have tribulation, but be of good
cheer, l have overcome the world" Take
from life its prompting to live and live
again and we have robbed it of it's great
incentive to realize all that it desires
most to be. Tis fulf1llment we seek, the
fulfllment of our highest, holiest hopes.
He was right who said There's not a
man that lives who has not known his
Godlike hours" To make these hours
and their hopes have their fulfllment and
fruition is the promise of Easter.
