Eastertime with his or her
family. The time, for them,
will be full but fleeting.
These are all personal or
material concepts. But what
about the spiritual side of Eas-
ter? 1t would be difficult to
ignore the sparkle and glow of
the newness of life around US.
On every side the evidence of a
Creator is present in the trees,
the plant life and even the
birds that have just returned to
us. They strengthen our faith
and belief and make us re-
jOice in them. Church services
of this week will be we'll at
tended and put us in the re-
ceptive mood for the messages
on Sunday. And the music, in
spring and uplifting in its
message, will have a sermon
within itself. Those who pre-
sented themselves as candi-
dates for church membership
on Palm Sunday and those
who will do so this Easter Day,
are experiencing a new en-
richment that is coming into
their lives, to continue as long
as they desire it to be so. The
spiritual concept of Easter is
important to all, and if we are
granted another one, and one
with peace for all mankind,
that will be the most blessed
Easter Of all time, since the
first one when
THE barrier stone has roll
ed away
And loud the angels sing;
The Christ comes forth this
blessed day
TO reign, a deathless King.
For shall we not believe
He lives
Through such awakening?
Behold, how God each April
gives
The miracle of Spring.
That verse is from The pen
of Edwin l.. Sabin.
A blessed Easter to each of
you.
Faithfully,
Virginia S. Townsend

IEAR FRIENDS: :

EAR FhlENDS.
Another E a ster!
How they roll
around. And what is
your concept of this
special week in the year?
Frances McKnatt, whose we'd
ding to Joseph Parker takes
place in Avenue Church at two
on Saturday, will look back
on this Easter with pleasure
and happiness. Sarah Barcus
will remember this season with
particular joy because of the
surprise miscellaneous shower
that Edna Simpson and Fran
ces Burn gave her Tuesday
night, when a large number of
her friends gave her such nice
gifts, and the evening was
such fun with games and re-
. freshments; and the lovely
flower arrangements, too, that
added so much to the enjoy
ment of the affair.
Those of tender years think
of this and every Easter in
terms of the fluffy little chick
ems, the pink eye bunnies, bas-
kets filed with cOlored eggs
that may later afford fun as
they are rolled in the COM
pany of other children.
OF those who are more ad-
vanced in years and yet young,
a new spring outfit, replete
with hat, gloves, purse and
matching shoes, seems most
important, particularly so
when they will be going away
Tor the nOnQay Win Irlen0S,
and will probably take part in
an Easter parade.
There are those, too, who
have longed for home and fam
lily and will make all possible
effort to spend the weekend
with them. They may be stu
dents away from home, or a
daughter or son, who have not
seen the doting parents for
some time, or there may be a
boy or girl in some branch of
the services who has been
working toward a leave at
