We thought Him the Son of the Highest, Messiah whom God had appointed; Now He is dead, and our hopes have died with Him too. It seemed that it must be a 'dream at first - but, oh, it is true! I arose to anoint Him with 'spices, when the first bird was awaking; I came, and found that His Body was' gone, and my heart it is breaking. ' They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him; .And here I am left alone, with the spices I made Him. Is that the gardener there? The light it is dim, -And my eyes are blinded with tears. I will go to Him. • "Sir, if you carried Him hence, tell me where I .may find Him!" '.(Is that the light of the sun shining in glory behind Him?) He spake, and said to me, "Mary!" Is it the Lord? Is it His voice that I hear speak in the tones I adored? Trembling I kneel, and the tears, of my joy fall the faster. '"Raboni!" I falter and, blind, worship. It is the Master. —Marjorie Proctor, PASSION WEEK This is the week when Christ bowed' low with grief, Entered the Garden as the day de- clined; 'Took those who understood Him best, aside, Then left them there to watch the white road wind. • .How human were these friends whom He did trust. To watch the lonely.hours of dark; to keep _Him company while He retired to pray Alone! Returning found them all asleep! :None but the Father could then understand The anguish and the loneliness He felt. :In agony He prayed: "Let this cup pass, If 'tis. Thy will." In heaviness He knelt. 'Thus in this Passion Week we bring OUT cares, Our. sorrows, loneliness and agony To Him who bore our griefs upon the Bross; That we 'might know His sweetest sympathy. —Ethel M. Hall. GOOD FRIDAY By Marianne Farningham -We look away from the sunshine That cometh after cold, 'To think of a Spring -day darkened O'er a wondrous scene of. old; •Of the mailed' hands that were full of grace, • 'Of an anguished love in a dying face.

The CANADA STARCH' Cb., Limited, Toronto Oh, what was in that Sufferer, That we scarce can bear to think, Even to -day, of the bitter cap That our Saviour had to drink? He holds us 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 dropped his head, Yet we seek not the living among the dead. We know that she 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, 'tis not all sorrow, Though the day with shade be dim, There are undertones of triumph, Heard through our solemn hymn. Once on the cross Immanuel died, But he keeps perpetual Easter -tide. He bids the hopeful daisies Look up and laugh to -day; The lark at early matins Sing out a joyful lay; And we pour forth our grateful loge To the living king who reigns above. We seek his gift of pardon, We bend, our heads to take His gracious benediction,. And then, for his dear sake, Go forth some weary ones to cheer, And bid them .know the Lord is near. EASTER I 'never see white- candles That march in proud parade On altars Easter morning, Or lilies, slim and staid, But I remember Mary Who saw a tall lad die Upon an Eastern- Hillside One day as Spring came by. The high road to Golgotha" Held half the crowded town; Long, long before the twilight Strange darkness' settled down Did, Mary leave recalling: How He who hung so high Once asked for love and stories As April dusk swept by?' I never heard glad anthems That tell how He arose, Iiow angels moved the great .stone, And loosed the binding clothes; But that I know a gladness Because each grief and loss Must find a gracious healing . SomeSpring will hid e the cross! —Helen Welshimer. A FINE EXAMPLE New Minister: 'And wheat did you think of my sermon on Sunday, Mrs. Jones?" Mrs. Jones: "Beautiful sir, and so instructive.
