We cannot work up very much enthusiasm for the
government grants, subsidies and hand-outs which have
become so common in the past few years, but it is encour-
aging to note the support which the public offers when a
crippled child needs a. summer outing, or a tubercular
patient needs hospital care. When funds can be raised in
a small section of one province for a new college it is our
belief that the people who put up the money tire reliable
citizens.
There is no sense kidding ourselves—we are often
annoyed at the repeated calls for help. But most of us
chip in just the same and lend a helping hand When it's

HE IS RISEN
In the end of the Sabbath. as it began to dawn toward
the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the
angel of the 1,0rd descended from heaven, and came and
rolled back the stone from the dour, and sat upon it. His'
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
snow: and fur fear of him the keepers did shake, and be-'
came as dead men.
And the angel answered and said unto the women.;
"Fear not ye: for 1 know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified, He is nut here: for he is risen, as he said. Come,
and see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly,
and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead."
