We live through frozen winter, If we would see the Spring; . And the woods must be cold and silent, • Before the robins sing. . So those who have no sorrow • Know not the perfect peace ' That falls on the treubled spirit When it sees at last release. ' We learn as the years roll onward, And we leave the past. behind, That much we had counted sorrow, Only proves that God is Kind. --Dorothy Sproule.

GREY SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL GET FREE TREES: For the first time in Grey County School Fair history, reforestation measures are beteg introducedwith the distribution of a variety of wind- break and forest trees to the school children, in addition to the usual, grain and flower seeds. The trees listed are: White, red, jack and Scotch pines; white spruce, white. ash, rock elm, elm, hard and soft maple, basswood, Carolina pop- lar (cuttings or rooted), white wil- loW, white and red oak, balsam, hem- lock, larch, Norway spruce, walnut and - butternut; twenty-tvWo varieties.' There are five thousand children enrolled in twenty school fair centre' and if each child takes his or her allotment of five trees, reforestation will be greatly aided. Besidesthese trees for the school children there are seventy - twc branches of Women's institutes in the county that will receive a large allot- menti of windbreaks and forestry varieties. The introduction of this Institute feature a e e w made in 1938 s and thousands of trees Were planted. Sincere prayer, uttered with faith is the golden key that unlocks the door to God's storehouse of spiritual blessings. Christ Before Pilate In this story of fact we have de- picted a decision which has come down through the ages, even • from the time of Christ, to this present moment. It , was perhaps the last Biblical recorded instance of this momentous question, "What shall I do then. with Jesus, which is called Christ? It` was the .final decision which preceeded the sacrificialdeath of Christ on the cross. Wefirmly believe that ao Jesus wearily wended His way from the Court of Injustice to Mount 'Calvary there were present in that mocking cruel mob many who had been in doubt before, but who then and there took Jesus into their hearts. We feel sure that even in His physical pain and agony of mind that, as- some one has said "He supported the cross with His one arm and hand, but the other was from time to time extended in blessing and healing on those who were standing by the way side." - Christ stood before Pilate, falsely accused and He realized He }vas go. ing to the cross, unguilty of any ac- cusation that could be testified. Why was He going to the Cross? Be- cause Pilate was afraid of the peo- ple. He was not strong enough mole ally to stand up for what was right. In spite of the warning from his wife he, knew that his position was insecure if he released Jesus, and that to him was a point .worthy of deep Consideration. As we study the trial of Jesus be- fore Pilate we have many times felt that if we were just in the same posi- tion as Pilate, we too would question as to what we should do. Pilate had apparently been used to judging those brought before hitt, influenced by the mob, and he considered this was a similar case, When he saw Jesus, saw a countenance in which there was no guile, saw his meekness in the face of trial, saw his forgiving attitude towards the accusers, saw bis patience under mocking and his for- bearance under extreme pain, he questioned as to Whether his' decision to pronounce, Hint guilty was the just one. He had to choose between "Christ and chaos." We feel that if he did not give the sentence to crucify Him that Ile eventually , would be crowned an Earthly Xing,. for he knew nothing of the satisfaction of crowning Christ in his own life. Always there was the thought before Hint "If' I do not sentence'Him to death there will be no future for nue." Pilate, we, understand from- Scrip- ture' had the' inclination to. release Jesus. He perhaps . even felt that He would like to learn more of Him, Instead of taking a -stand and re- leasing Jesus whom he knew to be innocent, he gave the,. people the choice of Jesus or 13arabbas, but at the same time he knew that his de- cision woold be founded on the choice of the people. He wasafraid to stand alone, so when the people cried crucify Him, crucify Him, Pilate met- ed out the judgement of the shame- ful death on the cross on Mount Calvary.- - Thousands have had the privilege of studying that picture "Christ 'he- fore Pilate." It has carried its mes- sage of Redeeming love and has been the means , of bringing - many. to Christ. One could spend hours look- ing at it grid trying in some small degree to realize the agony depicted then. That agony was for you end it was for tie. Two ways at least are recorded as to what happened --to Pilate after his judgement of Jesus. The first thing he did was to wash his hands and the second was to write the super- scription • uper-scription• "Jesus of Nazareth, the Ring of the Jews". Neither of these would in any way atone for the ter- rible injury which he hjid done Christ, but his .conscience bothered him to such- an extent that he had to' .de something to appease it. There is -a Biblical reeording as to what happened in the closing years of the life of Pilate. One story gives suicide as the termination of his ex- istence.: There is also a legend that he drifted to Rome and in the eati- eombs he met Christians wile were zathereci together there,' and under their influence' he yielded himself to fesus Christ. We do not know any- thing . as to Itis - ultimate end, butthe point in' bringing forward the legend 15 the certainty that' if 'he accepted Christ even .after all his sin that he would be received and pardoned by 'his Saviour, Christ before Pilate! Some time it will be Pilate,.before'Ciirist. Each one of us in reading this, roust if we are sincere put' our name 'n the place of Pilate, for just as sure as Christ stood before Pilate for 'udgement, He is standing before us today, and as Pilate had to make s decision, so must we. We have the spportu ity of saying Crucify Hit», crucify Him, or we have the privilege tf defending Him and taking Him 'nto our own hearts. Felix put Jesus 'so one side till a more convenient season, so may we, but that more convenient season may never come 'or Ins. The time when we will stand EGGS FOR EASTER LONG TRADITION The origin of the Easter egg tra- dition is lost' in antiquity but year after year the delightful practice of adorning the breakfast table with eggs on Easter Sunday morning con- tinues. It matters not that the first fresh eggs no longer come with East- er, the beginning of Spring. The modern model of the humble hen may,. and usually does, produce her delic- ious product the year round. Easter is -still associated .with eggs, with the hen scratching in the warming earth, newly aware of her destiny. Eggs, in the Easter tradition, are always boiled in the shell. For .child ren, of course, they must be colour- ed, with one of an infinite variety of home or commercial preparations. No parents, treasuring childhood memories of bowls of multi -coloured eggs on Easter morning, would deny a similar pleasure to their children. For children, pullet eggs, if they are available, will prove an added attraction, their small size lending a youthful touch and having the further practical advantage of enab- ling Junior to dispose of a greater number. These small eggs are sold under the designation of Grade A Pullet. - They weigh approximately an ounce and a half each. Grade A Large eggs weigh two ounces or more. Eggs are so sensitive to heat in cooking that it is easy to overcook them, or cook them poorly. When they are cooked in the shell a precise method is necessary to cook .them to the right degree. Use one pint of water for the first egg and one cur of water for each additional egg. Bring the water to the boiling point. The shape of the kettle should be such that the water will cover the egg. Place the egg in the water and cover the kettle. Remove from the heat and keep the water hot but not boiling for 6 to 8 minutes, depending upon the degree of cooking desired, for soft cooked or medium eggs. For hard cooked eggs, follow the direc- tions for soft cooking, allowing the egg to simmer 30-85 minutes. Cool' eggs by plunging them into cold water, or letting cold water run over them in order to prevent blackened surface of the yolk. Hard cooked eggs can be used in a number of, ways to give' variety. EXPECT TO REBUILD ANGLICAN- - CHURCH One cannot help but admire the undaunted spirit of the congregation of Trinity Anglican Church, Mitchell, in the face of the big loss they sus- tained in the destruction of their. church with its entirecontents on Sunday morning. In conversation with the rector, Rev. A. 0.' Capper, he informs us that a new church,whetli- er small or large, will be erected. Of course it will take time, but that is the present feeling 'of the congrega- tion, The A.Y.P.A. has shown its determination to start things. Their ambition and endeavour will be to secure hymn books. This organization met at the rectory on Monday even- ing and the young people will wort: out some plan to attain their aim, --Mitchell Advocate, . INQUEST JURIES OF FIVE Important amendments t o t h e Coroners' Act, governing the holding of inquests in Ontario, were intro- duced in -the Legislature by Attorney General Conant, One proposal was that the number of jurymen at an inquest be reduced to five. The pres- ent act says there shall be not less thansevenand not more than 12 jiu•ors. It was also proposed to em- power the Attorney -General • to order an inquest in any circumstances that he Considers warrants it. before Christ will come. "Every 1.1V- ing soul will bow and confess Christ." The question then will not be what will I do with Christ?, but what will Christ do with me? If we have accepted Flim and tried to help on His work He will accept us, but if we have crucified Him afresh, we will have to spend eternity apart from Him. May we be led to accept Him before it is too late. > CHRIST AT THE BAR Christ stands at the Bar of the world today, , And still, as then, we do' betray. As he stood in the days of old Our Lord for greed or gold, When our every deed and -word - !thought - Should our fealty proclaim, Full aft we bring His name to naught And cover Him with shame. Not alone did Judas his, Master sell, Nor, Peter his Lord deny. - Each one who doth His love repel Or at His guidance doth rebel, Doth the Lord Christ crucify. • Like - the men of old, we , vote Hie death, Lest His life should interfere With the things we have, or the things we crave, • Or the things we hold more dear. the days He stood in h of old c t his soul and say,- Let each man x a "Shall I again my. Lord betray For my greed, or my goods, or my gold?" "PEG" CARE OF CHITLDREN An Oil Bath to Restore Furniture Spring house-cleaning is just around the corner and ssggestions along this line are always in order at this time of the year. ' The New York State College of Home Economics "maintains that. furiture needs more than just dust- ingi. Furniture needs oil, occasion- ally to keep it from drying, cracking and w,rping, or The veneer from loosening. The dry lair in many modern homes is as bad for furni- ture as it far people. - The following treatment' for fur- niture has .bean suggested by this' Department: A, goodoil bath to us once or twice... a year on oiled or varnished furniture is a mixture of two-thirds boiled linseed oil and one-third turpentine. The oil feeds the wood, and the- turpentine Ioosens the dirt and helps the oil to penetrate the wood. This polish removes the dull film and snakes a checked surface less noticeable. Apply the mixture with a soft cloth, and wipe off all excess polish with a clean cloth, To polish, rub the surface the way of the grain until the wood is thoroughly dry and the fingers leave no mark on the surface. - In addition to keeping the furni- ture well oiled, it is a good- thing to keep the air moist by ,having 'a pan of water near a radiator, regis- ter or stove. If the wood is badly soiled, be- fore giving it an oil bath it may be washed with a mixture of one quart of hot water, three tablespoons of boiled linseed oil, and a tablespoon of turpentine. This mixture should be kept hot in a double boiler while it is being usdd. First the wood should be washed with a soft cloth wet with the solution, . then immedi- ately wiped and polished with a dry cloth. LAMB FESTIVE MEAT AT EASTER TIME Lamb is a meat that has long been associated with the ' Easter season. Early in the history of the - world, lamb was used in religious ceremon- ies, the Israelites, during their cap- tivity in Egypt, keeping up their old practice as a pastoral people of sac- rificing the firstlings of their flocks in the spring. Among the Anglo-Savons, Norse:- men orse-men and other Teutonic races, the feast of Eostre of Cetera, the Anglo- Saxon goddess . of spring, was cele- brated lit April, which was named Eostumonath, or Easter month, when young lambs were principal items at all the feasts. - With the coming of Christianity, and the cele- bration of the Christian Easter, the traditional use of lamb still persisted, and so on to the present day, In France, down through the cent- uries, lamb has been the national meat at Easter time; likewise, in the British :Isles, lamb' and mutton have always been popular with the Eng- lish, Scotch and Irish peoples. At Easter tirne particularly, choice fresh lamb'. has a special appeal to all Canadians. More Canadian. farmers are spec- ializing in the raising, and fattening of lambs for the Easter market: Many thousands of western -range lambs were placed in feedlots both. in Eastern and Western Canada last fall. After several months of feed- ing on - the best of alfalfa, silage, roots and home grown grains, these lambs are now ready . for slaughter and are being marketed ' from week to week, The quality of the product is at its . best. Lamb will therefore be in season at Easter time; in fact, Canadian lamb of quality is available throughout the entire year. LAD UNDER 14 MAY NOT HAVE AIR OR OTHER GUN Many parents have ' wondered whether or, not it is legal for their children to have an air -gun, but the Criminal Code says it is illegal. Chap- ter 126 provides that: "Every one is guilty- of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exceeding fifty dollar's who sells or gives any firearm, pistol, revolver or air -gun, or any ammunition thereof, to a minor under the age of 14 years, not being the holder of a permit in Form 761. .

ClieSNAPSFIOT CUIL OUTDOORS' AT NIGHT Flash bulbs make outdoor snaps possible at night, even with slow Tens cameras. Here, lantern provided atmosphere, but flash bulb, held above camera, supplied light needed for detail in subject. 'UNTIL a few years ago, snapshots V. outdoors at nightwere rather hard to make, Now, thanks to extra high speed film, thousands of snap - shooters take them. The fast film plus a fast lens is sufficient for brightly -lighted street scenes and flood -lighted buildings. For outdoor pictures of people at might, all one :needs is a camera that can be set for a time exposure, and a "flash" bulb in He inexpensive flashlight -type holder. To take such pictures, simply plane the camera ona firm support, and set the shutter for "time." Posi- tion the subject in front of the cam- era, click the shutter open, flash the bulb and close the shutter. If the surroundings are dark and there are MO lights within the view of the lens,. the •caviare may be held iu'the hand. • For flash pictures, the camera can be loaded either with regular "chrome type" film or one of the panchromatic films, The distance be- tween the flash bulb and the subject determines the size Ieas -opening you should use. Here are suggested distances from'. bulb to subject, outdoors, when you use a No: 1.0 -size bulb with the metal reflector that is a part of the small battery operated holder: for P d "chrome" m feet;o i c o type fit 7 for high speed film 14 feet.
