provide that the cooperatives pay
license taxes on all business done
with ~non-members and also on all
business in consumer goods, such
as clothing and groceries, whether
done with members or non-mem-
bers.
A bill sponsored by the Virginia
Retail Merchants association, intro

from giving the cooperative sub
sides or other aid.
The house and senate, called to

half as many as the McNutt sta

It's obvious, of course, that the

the extent to which the Red Cross

NEWNESS OF LIFE
By the Right Reu James E. Freeman D. IL. d. D. c. L.
Bishop of WASHINGTON. - ~

Certain days Of the calendar have their
peculiar distinction Some days are like
interrogation points, others exclamation;
the first comes to US bringing unan-
swered questions and queries, others
their distinctive messages their great
afiirmations. 'Rebirths of feeling"
some one has called Christmas Day:
'"The Sunrise Of Christianity" DR.. Van
Dyke called the Sunday we name Easter.
The age-old question asked by Job:
IF man die shall he live again?" has
been upon the lips of men, or asked
secretly in their inner hearts and minds
through the long ages. All the great
thinkers and philosophers wrestled with
1t and many of them, like Socrates and
Aristotle, thought they had answered it.,
but at best they only guessed and specu-
lated, none of them affirmed. Doubtless
their guesses and speculations brought
them comfort and satisfaction. Not un-
til the first Easter dawned was an
affirmation brought to the anxious and
inquiring minds Of men. That this af.
flrmation came at the dawn of new day
has deep significance. 1t is suggestive of
a fresh beginning, a newer and fresher
hope for what is to be. That this af-
flrmation was given in a garden and in
the springtime makes it redolent of all
that We associate with the fragrance of
flowers, the upsurge Of life, the renewal
of the precious things Of nature.
This Easter Qh0Vo all douc ie ol,a,
ished by men everywhere, and however
they may interpret its deep meaning or
yield to it reverent devotion, it brings to
them message of comfort and peace
unlike that of any other day in the CAL
endar. The affirmation of a renewed
life falls gently from the lips of the
risen Christ. The great affirmation.

sealed tomb, this is the compelling truth
which this day sets forth; and upon it
countless multitudes have builded their
hope Of immortality. The world is diff
ferent on Easter morning, even the
coarse and sordid things of life seem to
be forgotten, its disappointments and
establishments rendered less poignant,
its pains and griefs assuaged and soft
ened. Life and more Of life, the satis-
faction of its deepest desires, the. renewal
and freshening of it's powers, this is the
universal quest of men the world over.
To this quest the message of Easter fur
nishes the most compensating answer.
To youth it speaks of more abundant
and fuller life in the present world; to
the aging man or woman it speaks of re-
newal Of mind and body and the pros
pect of thes escoEsummation of all that it
Graves beyond the shadowy portals of the
grave.
The great apostle of the Resurrection,
st. Paul, says: Walk in newness Of
life," and by 1t he meant the satisfaction
that comes to one who is made new, de-
spite the multiplying years, and who
goes on in the consciousness that the best
is always ahead. This is triumphant
living, it is experiencing here and now
the glow and power that Easter pro-
claims. Eternal youth belongs to Christ,
and it is eternal youth His Easter mes
sage is designed to teach.
THE Lord is risen," this was the salu-
tation Of the Christians of the early
church. 1t is such salutation we desire
and hope for today. 1t is in the power
of this Easter message that we dare to
look beyond the darkened horizons of
our today and confidently to expect
better things tomorrow. In crowded
churches, eager and glowing congrega-
tions on this latest Easter testify in elo-
quent terms to mans glad response to
the risen Saviour of Mankind.
