James Anthony, M.A. Christmas is the season when the evidence of divinity iu the world is recognized. Easter is the season when the triumph of life over death is joyfully owned. Death, Easter tells us, is not the end of hopes axid love and good­ will. What is good in men sur­ vives, this Christian feast as­ sures us. The child whom we laid away with tears is to be seen again clad in never-failing youth and health. The wife who (has stood by her husband’s side has gone into life and beauty and tenderness such as the heart of man has never dreamed of. Parenthood is seen to be akin to God who is ever creating things anew. On Easter each one tries to appear lxis best and to be his best for well we know that however fair our day on earth has been that for those, who in faith and love do their best, there is by God’s grace a land that is fairer than day. There oui* Saviour and Lord leads His flock by streams that never fail, in pastures that are ever green and where hailstones and fire showers nevei' fall. Returns Home •Mrs. W. E.
