because there was nothing to

someone inside unlocked the

his colorful marquee was meant

Gov. Tawes had said the
outcome of the past session

with it.
Several programs the Demo-

The
Rambler
Enjoyed
The Holiday
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Unlike Christmas, Easter is
a movable feast in the Chris
tian calendar.
1t is the first Sunday after
the first full moon after the
vernal equinox.
The latter varies a few
hourS-a variation corrected
by the extra day on leap year.
But the changes of the
moon vary over a span of %
days. This gives the Greater
National Committee of the
Metropolitan Washing
ton Board Of Trade some diff
ficulty.
About the Japanese cherry
blossoms, that is.
Easter itself needs no pro-
motion. That was taken care
Of years ago.
1t was a pagan feast, a
celebration under the first
full moon of the spring.
Washington's Cherry Bios
som Festival has to be at
least a week removed from
Easter.
If Easter is late, the board
regretfully schedules this
gala in the lenten season.
Washington'S great holiday
does not conform with the
ecclesiastical calendar like
New Orleans Mardi Gras, the
fat Tuesday before Ash
Wednesday.
But the Japanese cherry
blossoms are totally unaware
Of this.
The Rambler drove into
town yesterday to check on
them.

Haiti Remembers
First Day Of 1904;
Independence Day

January l is more than New
Years Day for Haiti; it is also
independence day. On the first
day of January, 1904, Jean
jacques Dessalines declared the
islands freedom from France,
making Haiti the second nation
of the Western hemisphere to
win independence.
Independence and adoption of
the Indian name of Haiti came
after bitter two-year revolt led
against the French initiated by a
former slave. Toussaint Lover
ture. A man of great ability,
LOverture rose from slavery to
the colonial governorship and to
great fame as a soldier and
statesman. He called the islands
first constitutional assembly and
organized an army of slaves in
defiance Of the mighty Napoleon.
Bonaparte sent an expedition
Of 70 warships and 5000 men to
Haiti. L'Overture was captured
and sent to French prison and
the revolt seemed to be ended.
But, while L'Overture sickened
and died in prison, Dessalines
rallied the people Of Haiti and the
French forces were defeated by
November, 1903.

Here's a simple example
Of how il works:

Let's say you put So, $50 into E Bonds back
in the spring of 1913. By this spring they
would have earned $2,402 interest and
their cash-in value would be $6,152.
Until this year, if you cashed your E Bonds
to buy H Bonds you would have to pay the
tax on the E Bond interest with your next
return. If you happened to be in the 300
tax bracket, this would amount to $721.
would pay an average of $205.56 interest
per year for 10 years.
Under the net0 rule, you can put off paying
the tdx on your E Bond interest until you
redeem your H Bonds. You can put the
entire Sc, I52 to work and earn oUer the 10
years an average of $232.85 interest per
year. This gives you an extra $272.90 oVer
the 10-year life of your II Bonds.

"Here | Raise Mine Ebenezer"
by Rev. Lawrence Sherwood

ny NV Law CiiAG 9lCl NOON
An experience that is common to
each of us is that of reading at
night. For many persons, this is
the way to climax the day; for
others, reading before going to bed
becomes way to relax; for still
others, the time Immediately be-
fore going to sleep seems to be
the only time that they can find to
read.
Who among us has not been
reading late some night when the
time comes that we must go to
sleep? There are many pages still
to 90 in the book. We know what
has happened up to this point-and
we would like to know what is on
the future pages of the book But
the hour grows late, and we must
ger to sleep.
What do you do? You put a
book-mark at the place where you
stop. The book-mark becomes the
symbol that you have come this
far You know not what the future
pages may hold, but hitherto you
have come.
We put "book-marks' in our
lives from time to time, too. This
is great spiritual truth. Let US
look at this truth as it is shown
in the life of Robert Robinson. the
author of the hymn Come Thou
Fount of Every Blessing"
Born in England in 1875, the son
of lowly parents, Robert Robinson
was apprenticed to a barber in
London when he was a young man.
He did not pay proper attention
to his work. This was in part due
to the fact that he was greatly in
terested in books: it was also due
to the fact that he was a wild and

reckless young man However, his
life changed when he was con
verted under the preaching Of
George Whitefield Indeed his life
changed so completely that he be-
came a preacher himself The very
year that he wrote the familiar
hymn, he was assigned a Church.
The hymn was, thus, largely auto
biographical: Here | raise mine
Ebenezer; Hither by Thy help I'm
come. .." Robinson knew that he
had come this far by Gods help.
He could put a book-mark in his
life at that point, and hope to con-
tinue from there. He called the
book-mark "Ebenezer."
What does the word Ebenezer
mean? We can find the answer to
this by looking in l Samuel 7:1-12
The people of Israel and the Philis-
tines had been at peace. Then
Israel began to worship foreign
gods. The prophet Samuel called
for an act of national repentance.
The people of Israel came to
Mizpeh to worship. While they
were there, the Philistines came 20
attack them. The Lord. through
rain, helped Israel to defeat the
Philistines. Then, as we read in the
18th verse: Samuel took a stone,
and set it between Mizpeh and
Shen, and called the name of it
Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath
the Lord helped us The word
"Ebenezer" means literally Hill
of the help"
Thus, Ebenezer became for Israel
time to stop and remember God.
1t was a'book- mark for the fact
that God had helped them to this
point in their lives. In Ebenezor
there was the backward glance of
gratitude and the forward look of
hope.
We, too, need to raise our
Ebenezer." We need to see that
hitherto the Lord hath helped us.
We ought to thank Him for the
gifts of life, health, possessions.

other reasons, want the cash interest which
H Bonds pay twice year. But study your own
situation carefully. Current income may not
be needed just now-and, of course, the cash
interest on H Bonds is taxable Or perhaps
your E Bonds depending on their dates of
issue are yielding more currently than you
would get on H Bonds. Your banker has tables
which can help you decide what's best for you.
