" ANOTHER EASTER VICTORY The returns are in and Easter 194'7 has proven once again that Christian. ity 1$ a living, potent, ever more pop- ular religion, Crowded churches all over the world during Easter proved conclusively once again that the joy and triumph of Easter are still the hope and the salvation of the world. 1There always have been atheists, agno- stics and dissidents who deny the de- ity and resurrection of Jesus; and at times there seems a growing tendency to assume the Christianity is on the wane, especially among the younger generations; but each Easter there is the same universal resp'onse to Christ- endom's primary festival which has leited continuously for nearly 2,000 years. Easter 1947 has proven that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ means more today to more people than ever before in the history of the world. The simple fact is that whatever meaning and sense there is in life de- rives from that mystic revelation of the mind and will of God, the Resur- rection of Jesus Christ. And before the Resurrection there was the Cross. It was the sin of the world that brought about the .Crucifixion of the Master. The world had to have a Re. deemer and God so loved the world that lie gave His only begotten Son to b that Saviour, Jesus, who was sinless and knew no sin, yet bore the sins of the world as He shed His precious blood and died a vicarious, propitiatory death on the Cross. True, the Jews crucified our Lord, 'but -each sinner who refuses to accept Christ, as a Say- iuor crucifies Him again. The glory and triumph of Easter Is. the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. There can be no doubting the Resurrection. No fact has ever been so well attested before or since that time. Jesus was crucified, dead and buried, and the third day He arose again from the Dead. There have been other so-called Saviours. and Redeem- ers in other religions, but Christ Jesus. is the only one who conquered Hell and death and rose again from the dead, After His resurrection He talk- ed to the women, and to groups of His disciples; with special solicitude He showed Himself to Peter, who had de- nied Him, and to Thomas, who had ralay•••••••1111110 doubted His resurrection. Paul says; "He was seen of above five hundred people at one time," which is evidence incontrovertible and good in any court, Jesus lived and Was seen on earth for forty days after His Resurrection, The astounding marvel of the proven fact that life goes on beyond the grave; and the knowledge that those who ac- cept Him are saved from 'eternal sep7 station from God because of their sins, changed the disciples from cowards into heroes, who were willing to die and who did die terrible deaths for their faith, The Holy Spirit is in the world today assuring troubled seekers that He is risen, and transformed lives are an unwritten testimony to that fact too. The joy and glory of Laster, is the knowledge diet death does not end all and that mankind has a Re- deemer for all who do not crucify Him again by rejecting Him. * NEW MINING RUSH A new inuring rush is under way as prospectors flock into- the Lynn Lake area of Northern Manitoba in search of nickel and copper.. The district lies north of Sherridon, just, east of the Saskatchewan 'border, arid it is a deso- late, isolated region. Flying is just about the only way of crossing the bleak sectors of country separating this new mining camp froth the out side world. Already good ofe finds have been made and there are indications that a base metal camp will be established on the shores of Lynn Lake. The whole country from the Saskatchew- an border to almost 60 miles east, at depths up to 50 miles, is .staged. Over 5,000 claims have been filed already at The Pas. One- feature of the rush which seems to auger well for the ter- ritory is that companies with well- known names in the mining world have obtained properties and are send, ing out drill crews as 'quickly as men and materials can. be. obtained. 5, * * FLOODS OR REFORESTRATION The disastrous floods this • spring were not unexpected,- in view of the abnornially heavy snowfall of the past winter; and the heavy 'rains before the snow had all gone augmented the trouble. Western Ontaorio has, suf- fered seriously from flodds for many years, but the damage this year ap- pears worst since 1937. Flood control measures so far introduced, consisting of dams and dikes, have been unable to cope with year's run-off of wat-. et. Melting snow and rains are not the primary cause of floods. It is the ab- sence of trees, numerous enough and in the right places, -which' allows the water to run off too rapidly. The for- est cover of Southern Ontario has been too completely removed. Experts es- timate that there are 8,000 square mil- es of land in this area which are unfit for agriculture. Much of this land is in the highlands out 0P-which most of our rivers flow. This land should never have been cleared, and it must be reclaimed for forest if the present waste from floods and erosion is to stop. Reforestation, contour methods- of cultivation, and-other means of slowing the run-off of the surface water will help to prevent floods and give, the waste time to soak into the ground, This helps to stop erosion, gives more moisture in the soil - for crops, and supplies a better level of underground water for wells, springs and streams. * *. * LONDON'S PARKS London, England has many fathous . parks, many of which are well-known to Canadian servicemen of two world wars, ,bet the average Canadian has very little, if any, idea of the number and size of these parks, It is true that Some London districts consist of, nothing but streets with houses crowd- ed one against the other; whilst - in many other areas the parks, commons add open spaces are very well distri- buted. North of the Thames River in the East end there is fine Victoria Park with an acreage 'of 217 acres.

In addi- tion there are numbers of fine squares with trees and lawns in the centres, and also such., well-known spots as Gray's Ten, ari d' Lincoln's Inn Fields, South of the Thames there are a series of Commons and peeks; Batter- sea Park, 200 acres; elephant Com. mote 205; Wandsworth Common, 175; Tooting Bee, Common, 21'7; Streath- ate Cottminte 66; Wimbledon Corn- :toe, 350; Blackheath, 267; Green- Park, 188; and Southwark Park, 63 acres. Iii the subitrbs there are Bush- ey Park, with 1,100 acres; ' Epping Forest, 5,560; Richmond Park, 2,858; and ntunbers of others-, * * WREIMIt THOUGHT Any city or important place can be reached by many different roads, The one essential requirement to reath any destination is progress in the right die:, ection. So it is with Christianity, the road (deriominakion) .isn't the important thing since all lead Christward, it is the seeking after Christ which is the vital, all-important requirement to bee Came a Christian. * RHOW WINGHAM A pleasant route fora Sunday after- noon walk is north-west along the CNR tight-of-way to the "131g fiend" of the ,Maitland River.
