Of course 'Christ- mas is supposed t'o be the gladdest holiday in our year, but to me Easter has always run ,a close .second. It carries promise "for the life that now is and for that which is to come." It is to be hoped that we shall nev- er grow so wise or so sophisticated that we shall not rejoice at Easter. It is st!ell, too, that the children should be taught the true signifi- cance of Easer. It easily might be that with the confusion of Easter eggs, bunnies and other distractions that their young minds might misty the true lesson. The young mind is s;o plastic that it is a pity not to teach all these truths early for in that ease they are never forgotten, The story of the resurreeion is so enthralling that the smallest child can easily be interested, and it wonderful how much evdn the littlest one can understaud. RPBEKAH. Canadian Garden Service 1932 You are probably one of the ten million Canadians who have grown a bit tired of hearing that prosperity • is just around the corner and so we will start off with a little surer pre, diction and say the same thing about Spring. Of this no person tau feel any reasonable doubt. It may be a trifle late this time because it has been arriving rather ahead of schedule in most parts of the country ' in recent years, but along about March, or April or, at worst, May. we will wake up some morning and find the birds back from the South and the grass showing that shade :of , green which no artist has ever been , really able to reproduce. The sante' urge which drove Cain, or was Pi Abel, into the farming business and later affected Hebert, the Parisian •druggist who came out with Cham- plain, in a: similar manner, will stir ' in our veins, aid it will not be long ' before we sally forth, seed catalogue 'in one hand and a rake or spade in the other. Last year's mistakes will be turned into valuable experience and we will add to our list of varlet- ' ies. In addition to the wholesome • satisfaction which man can only see -cure when working along with Moth. • or Nature we will repeat the very substantial advantage of materially lowering our cost of living ani at the same time raising the standard. Plans Sonie sort of a plan is advisable, for with it we can save time and also turn out a much better job. If we have a big proposition on 'hand such as laying out grounds for the first time around a new house, then we had better draw this roughly to scale, and before we actually start to - plant, particularly shrubs, trees, vines, grass and :other permanent material we should try to picture the mature results. A Spires or any of the herbaceous perennials are very small affairs indeed when they ar- rive from the store, but in a'few years they will take up it great deal more room. To avoid a crowded ap- pearance later on, allow plenty of - space now and, if necessary, fill in for the first season or two with showy annuals. Our general plan for lay -outs of this kind, and also • annual flowers, should be informal, using clumps of the sante variety and • color rather than straight rows. In '''the foreground we will have our lawn o and farther back, flower beds with small plants, such es the spring bulbs, Alyssum, Lobelia or Nesters tiums in front, larger flowers gener- ally towards the. rear, and finally shrubs and perhaps a tree or two. Walls may be partially screened with climber's such as Boston Iffy, Virginia Creeper or Roses. For ver- andahs, most people prefer those broad -leafed climbers such as the' Dutchman's Pipe, although here a- gain a climbing rose or a Clematis is attractive. We can of course use annuals for this work, especially if we do not own the property or if it is new and we want to make a 'fair show the first year. You will find 1 in your seed catalogue an ample list of bushy annuals, which resemble ;1 shrubs, and alao snick -growing . climbers -like the .Scarlet Runner ' Bean or cultivated hops that will give good emits. In trees, we inns be careful to avoid those kinds which send out objectionable roots near the surface or which provide exces- sive shade as it is difficult to garden or develop a lawn around these. In planning our vegetable garden we will, of course, be very formal and use straight rows, preferably run- ning North and South. If we have a tractor ee it horse at our 'disposal and plenty of land, the rows will have to be not less than thirty inches apart, but if our garden is on a smal- ler seale we can cut this distance at least in two for those vegetables like beets, spinach and beans, which are narrow and do not sprawl over the ground. Tomatoes, corn and mem- bers of the melon family, on the other hand, should have a yard be- tween rows. To save space we earl alternate quick maturing things like 'radish, lettuce, spinach, with Ionger season or later planted vegetables; We may also introduce ;double crop. ping, that is, radials, lettuce and cress, followed by late corn, turnips, celery and a few others things which are not usually sown or set dut un- til the first group is consumed. The essential point to remember in grow- ing crisp, tender vegetables is quick growth. . A set -back usually results in toughness, hence we should push things along by frequent cultivation and an occasional application of good garden fertilizer. It is also a good thing to make several sowings about ten days apart of each vegetable in Edited By Lebtm Hakaber Kralc Household Economics stony, I suddenly became conscious` that at my side there stood a veri- table little street arab. 'He, too was"" gazing, and his tense expression made e know that `The Crucifixion' had really gripped his eager little, soul. Touching him on the shoulder, I said, "Boy, what floes it mean? `Don't you know? he anwered, phis face full of marvel at any ignorance, j 'that there man is Jesus, and them 1 others is Roman soldiers. And the woman what's cryin' so's His mother, and, he added, with quivering voice, `they killed Him.' "I was loath to leave that win- dow, but I might not tarry always 1 with the world's tragedy, and. so I turned away and walked quietly down .the' busy street, In a moment I heard pattering young steps close. at my "heels, and there stood my little street ash "Say,. miss,' he •breahiessly an, nounced, `I forgot to tell yer, but He rose again." "That," said Miss Green, "is my message to-day—but He rose again. Because of this fact the call to un to lead the resurrection life, is very elem.." And then in a. fashion that Clarice never forgot there was pictured the daily life of the Christian who would "seek those things which are above." The putting off of the filthy rags of "anger, wrath, malice, e''!il syeaking, lying," and the putting on like a glor- ious garment of "kindness, ,humble- ness'tof mind, meekness, long suffer- ing," with "love," like a beautiful girdle, to hold everything else in place. This picture was made too real to be easily forgotten. "Oh Aunt Sue," said Clarice, as they walked quietly home together," I don't believe I'll ever again worry about Easter hats and things. The real Easter isn't just wearing all sorts of fresh, gay garments, and be- ing cross if things aren't finished on time. These things seem so small and mean to -day, and instead, I seem to see Miss Green'a picture of the resurrection Christian putting off the old ratan of sin, with his wretched lying and evil speaking and all those other horrid things; and actually put- ting on Jesus Christ, like a beautiful resurrection garment. 1 tell you auntie," and Clarice gave her aunt's arm a vigorous little squeeze, "that was the kind of talk that makes a girl stop and take stock of herself. I don't believe I ever feat smaller than this very day, and yet I am reaching loth hands after Miss Green's thought, the real glory of Easter lies wrapped up in the little street arab's message, 'But He rose again,'" t - rder to lengthen the season. "But He Rose Again" ' By Dorothy Bayard in The Canadian. Clarice had frankly expected a dry i time, but because her Aunt Sue set sueh' a store by missionary meetings she had tried not to look too black, • when there came that invitation to the Easter Woman's Missionary ser- vice.. "Would they like girls to attend, auntie?" r she had asked dubiously, And when Aunt Sue. replied, "Indeed, -•theywould, and Miss Green's talks .are alays so, interesting," there seem- .eci nothing more to say. `.Thus it wait; that Easter: meeting -day, Clarice sat very quietly beside Ther aunt, and in due course, Miss Green began her Easter message. Now Miss. Green wasn't like ordinary folks. No one ever thought of dis- eribing her es "one of a thousand." She was .just he own bright, terse, original self; and again and again people went from her meetings won- dering why they had never thought of applying Bible truths in that close, clinging, practical sort of fashion. On this pmrticuial. Easter day, Miss Green began with a story. "I was going down a street in Chi- cago," she said, "when in a store window I saw a verywonderful pic- ture of the crucifixion.

This village seventeen utiles east of Parry Sound, has a Women's Institute which utilizes local talent to very good purpose at the regular month- ly educational meetings, and it is usual' for one of tiie local nurses to give nursing demonstrations from time to time. They provide whole, some social opportunibies for their members and are rendering a splen- did service to the community, Like the majority cif the communities which support Women's Institutes in the north, they have this year been able to look after the needy, except for one poor family, for which large supplies were sent by an Institute in Old Ontario, and in addition, they spent $87.00 in providing linen for a hospital in the district. They also sent to the House of Refuge Christ- mas Gifts, and every new baby in the district is provided with a warm jacket and all persons who are i11 in the township receive flowers, and some times other luxuries. THE EMPTY roc:vi B CIiRISTIANS' TRIUMPH A missionary was preaching in a bazaar in North India. After he had closed, .a Mohomniedan came up and said: "You must adinit that we have one thing you have not, and it is better than anything." The mis- sionary smiled, glad' to have gained his interest, and. said, "I shall be pleased ;.o hear what it is." The Ma- hommedan replied, "When we go to our Mecca, we find at least a cof- fin; but when you Christians go to Jerusalem, which is your Mecca, you find nothing' but an empty grave." The missionary responded,"That is just the difference. Mahommed is dead; Mahomiiled is in his coffen. The founder's of all these 'false sys- tems of religion and philisophy are in, their graves. .But our Lord .les - us Christ, whose kingdom is to 'in - chide all nations and all tribes, is not in the tomb; Ile is risen. And all poorer' in heaven and earth has been ;given unto Him. That is our. hope.

Here are ,some practical hints on making 'them, from an experimental farm expert: Although rock gardens have been. very popular .in. Great Britain and :Europe for many years it is only comparatively recently that they have become common in Canada but now many persone have them and numerous gardens are being started each year. A rock border has been established ' at • the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, where rock and alpine plants are being tested to determitle which will succeed 'under conditions that ''anyone may imitate. What is it that makes rock gar= dens so attractive? One important reason is that the greatest amount of bloom is early in the spring when enthusiasm for gardening is at its highest and when flowers in the gar- den are most appreciated, Another attraction of the rock garden is that more depends on individual effort than, perhaps, with any other type of gardening. The reeks may be ranged so that they give a very urs natural effect, not to be desired, or they niay be placed in such a way that the setting for the plants seems very natural. Even with but a small area to work on there are many possible ways of arranging the stones and in laying out the garden and ene's resource- fulness is brought into play in trying to make the most pleasing and nat- ural effects, Another great attraction of the rock garden is in the study which it is, necessary to give to each kind of plant so that it will get a favorable amount of sunshine or shade and one must also know whether the plant succeeds best under very dry condi- tions or whether it needs a moderate or liberal supply of moisture. The individual needs of each species in re- gard be drainage trust also be Iearn- ed. There is a charm about rock plants, however, not possessed by most other plants. There are not many of them that are suitable for cutting; their attraction lying in their dainty and brightly colored flowers and in the,case of many in the mass f bloom which forms a veritable carpet, The rock garden also has the at, traction of having the largest num. her of species, lit the smallest space and the number of kinds of rock and alpine plants that it is possible to grow is very large. This is what makes rock gardening se attractive to those in eities who have but a rima ited area on a.srnall lot. There is endless variety and end- less experiinenting to find which will succeed. Some of tire. rock plants are very tiny and these have a great charm for tho flower lover. It is natural for both men and women to be attracted to and to caro for small things whether it be children, house- hold pets or plants, and rock and al- pine flower's are the jewels among slants as children are the jewels a- mong humankind. Constructing a Hot -Bed (These instructions for malting a hot -bed are included its the tvontan's page 'because, while the snaking of a hot -bed will requite help from the leen, yet it will be the women wile will have to oversee the work and add the fine points): The construction of a hot -bed on the farm calls for no, special skill, but like every other line of work ex- erienee is, of course, a valuable aid., The hot -bed should be located on the south side of a building, row of trees, ;fence or anywhere with a southern exposure, and protected from strong winds. It may be built wholly on top of the ground, or a theta, may be dug. The frame should correspond with the dimensions of the sash. Often there is as storm window or, extra' sash of some kind that can be esu- pioyed without extra cost. If it is necessary to build the sash for the purpose a convenient size is 3 feet by G feet, . Horse manure is the heating agent. Fairly fresh horse manure which has not heated and containing a fair per- centage of litter should beput into a compact pilo. When it starts to heat fork over, bringing, so far as possible, the cold outer portions of the heap to the centre of the new pile. When it starts to heat again font it over once more. When the bed is built wholly above the ground, pile the manure in a compact level heap 18 inches to 2 :feet deep. bt Should be reasonably well packed. On top of this set the frame, which has been made enough To operate a hot -bed properly one must lift .the sash slightly on waren, bright, sunshinydays, and on cold nights it is sometimesnecessary to cover with (bags or blankets. GOOD FRIDAY By Marianne Farningham We Iook away from the sunshine That cometh after cold, To think of a Spring -day darkened O'er a wond'rpus scene of old; Of the •nailed hands that were full of grace, Of an anguished love in a dying 'face. Olt, what was In that Sufferer, That we scarce can bear to think, Even today, of the bitter cup That our Saviour had to drink He holds es close, with an aching love. And our hearts cry out for our Friend above. For, though we think of Calvary With tears of grief to -day, And follow Him, as patiently He walked the dolorous way, Until on the cross he drooped His head, Yet we seek not the living among the dead. We knots that be lives for ever, And if earth were dumb -with woe, No silence would fall on the angels For the days of Lent below, And we who weep for sin may raise To Him to -day a song of praise. And so, t'is not all sorl'ow, Though the day with shade be dint, There are undertones of triumph, Heard through oar solemn hymn. Once on the cross Immanuel died, ' But he keeps perpetual Easter -tide. BeArnow bids the hopeful daisies Look up and laugh to -day; Tho lark at early matins Sing out a joyful lay; And we pour forth Our grateful love To the living king who reigns above. We seek his gift of pardon, We bond our heads to take his gracious beuediction, And then, for His dear sake, Go forth some weary ones to cheer, And bid these know the Lord is near.

ASSOCIATE SRCRETAFSY 5MEASLES Measles is a disease which is high- ly communicable. In most eases, measles causes no obvious ill eft fects, and for that reason, it is apt to be regarded as being of no real importance, or as presenting no dan- ger', Not a few cases of measles, however, are complicated by pneu- monia and other infections with grave results leading to death in such a number of cases that measles must be given serious attention. During the first year of life, meas- les is particularly dangerous, the percentage of cases dying being many times in excess of the death rate in the older age groups. Par- ents understand very definitely that, tinder five years of age and more es- pecially under two years, measles is a nsueh more serious menace to the life of their child than it is after the fifth year. The practical appli- cation of this knowledge should lead them to take additional precautions in order to protect thein young child, and, in the event of his contracting the disease, to care for the case as a serious one. Cases of measles are often con- tracted early in life just because reasonable care isnot taken. There are still parents who, not knowing how dangerous measles is, allow their young children to"be exposed with the idea that they must have measles avant+ time and, consequent= ly, that the sooner it is over, the better. They disregard entirely the much greater danger of measles eon- treated , in early life as compared with its occurrence in later years. It is possible to prevent or to ren- der less severe, by means of serum treatment, an attack of measles if it is known that the ehild has been ex- posed. Serum is the fluid part .of the blood. The .person who has re. covered from measles has in his blood certain substances which he produced to overcome the disease. If some of this individual's blood is tak- en and injected into the child who has been exposed to measles, the protection against the disease is transfrred to the child. The best or strongest serum is that whioh is taken from patients who have recently recovered from measles, and it is called measles, cony valeseent serum, If such srmn is not available then the blood of adults is used. Practically every adult has had measles, and so, in the blood of most adults, there will be some of the substances which protect against measles. The serum must be given within five days of exposure if measles is to be prevented. Given on the fifth or sixth day, it will likely modify the attack. The protection given is only temporary and does not last for more than a few weeks. The great value of the so -runt treatment is to very young children, during the years when, as we have pointed out, measles is so frequently fatal. Also, the serum is used to advantage to protect the child who is not in good health and in whom an attack of measles would likely be most serious.
