GLAD EASTER TIME Easter is so full of suggestiveness, and around it cling so manYN hallowed associations, that the editor of this paper would feel that no .apology was due his leaders, if he devoted two columns to the subject, But time ie short, and newspaper epace limited. Hence we must be brief, and a paseing paragraph or so must suffice. If to the seriously -thoughtful person Good Friday is a remiuder of the sufferings of the Man of Sorrows, the intensity of Gethsem- Th grief, and the tragic scenes of Calvary, then Easter Sunday dispels the gloom and sadness, and reminds is of the empty tomb and of the risen Saviour; it assures us of His Divinity, and His victory over Death, and conveys to us a pledge of our own resur- rection from the sleep of death, for—"Because He lives, we shall live also. The incarnation of God in humanity in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ is held to be the central and fundamental miracle of Christianity. This being the case, His reeurrection from the dead is the crowning attestation of the reality of the incarnation. The re- surrection is the key -stone to the entire arch of human ademption and salvation. The incarnation, like the roots of a great mountain lies vast, profound, mysterious, at the foundation of the Christian hope, The resurrection stands like that mountain's summit, clear, dazzling, sublime, in the objective light of the history. It would he both easy and pleasing to rehearse the proofs of the event commemorated by the annually -recurring festi- val of Easter. But that is unnecessary. History is clear; that Christ lived—that Ile died—that fle rose triumphant over Death and the grave—are historical facts, indisputable, undeniable. Easter is like Christmas in this—that it never grows antiquated or out-of-date. It never loses its interest. Even those, who' from iudifference fail to catch its true siignifica.nce, or derive any spirit - mil uplift from its associations, add their testimony to its univer- sality and importanee, by an acknowledgment of its arrival. Easter has many lessons for us. One is the great example fur- nished of SELF-SACRIFICE FOR °TITERS, 'How little there is of this in the world! Bow much betterithe wot el would be, if the Christ spirit of self-sacrifice was more, prevalent than, it is! One of the curses of the present age is its selfish tendencies. Let us learn the great Easter lesson. Then our own lives will be richer and sweeter, and the lives of Where the better, because of having come in con- tact with ours. SONGS OF -EASTER. (Written For The Advance By Rev. G. Victor Collins, pasta. of Wing - ham Baptist Church.) On this day so brightly glorious Jesus rose our conquering King, From the grave, o'er death victorious, All His ransomed ones to bring. To thy throne, 0 God our Father, Let our songs of glad.ness rise, O'er our path thy brightness scatter, Fill us with a glad surprise. Songs celestial wake the morning, White -robed heralds wing their way, Darkest night brings brightest dawn- ing, Morning turns to radiant day. Hear our praise, 0 God our Father, For the fullness of thy grace, Thou might'st spurn ue, but the rather Shciw the brightness of thy face. Listen now the heavenly music, Joy -bells ringing everywhere; Easter dawns with light majestic, Seraph voices fill the air. To thy name, 0 God our Father, We in song our voices raise, Here to Thee in love we gather, Here we tune our notes of praise. Let Thy praise, 0 God, be chanted, Let the world her honors bring, All Thy grace, so richly granted, Theo' eternity we'll sing. Thy great name, 0 God our Father, We will praise for evermore; One in Three, and Three together, We Thy majesty adore. HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. 13y H. S. Reporter.

A, bulletin issued by H. T. Gussow, Dominion botanist at the experiment- al farm, explains hew potato canker has found its way across the Atlantic into Newfoundlaud with potatoes im- ported from Europe. • The disease af- fects not only the farm lands on which °potatoes are grown, but is directly in- jurious to the health of the consumer. Any tubers found with outgrowths rising from where the eyes are situ- ated, should be rejected. Property Changes. Ritchie & Cosens report the sale of P. J. Hill's residence to John Gal- braith, and the transfer of Mr. Gal- braith's home to F.

Mr. Hill has the privilege of occupying the Edward street residence until October ltt, when Mr. Lewis, hie father and sister will occupy it. They will make the very best of citizens. Tight Shoes Did This. The wearing of a tight shoe has just cost a young woman of Baltimore, Md., the loss of her mght leg. Some weeks ago she bought a pair of new shoes which she wore for several days. A slight irritation on the little toe, which she thought would wear off in a 1 few clays, developed into an uleera- tion. Then the foot began to swell, and the physicians decided that im- mediate amputation was imperative. The leg was taken off just below the hip. Yet So Young. Lois Edmonds, aged eleven years is the prize breadeinaker of the fine State of Iowa, having won the prize in a corxtpetition in which 6000 girls endeavored to win. She is also one of the eleven best corn -growers of the State. The editor of the Advance has lived in Iowa and can testfiy that there are some good breakmakers and many successful corn -growers there. But for Lois to beat them at the age of eleven is remarkable. She will go to the White House, to show Presi- dent Taft's cooks how to make genuine home-inade bread. Lois Edmonds' portrait may be seen in the Farmer's Advocate of last week. Now girls, here is an example for you to imi- tate. Former Citizen Deceased. Word was received this week of the death on Sunday atet of Mr. N. 11. Young, a former resident of Blyth and Witaghain.

As a result of a night -long fight be- tween a bulldog and it valuable Jersey cow, both belonging to Mr. E. W. Nesbitt, M P. for North Oxford, the dog is dead and the cow terribly nautilated. The cow bad always hated dogs, and got loose during the night, when the dog was in the stable. The fight must have been fierce. The dog, gored almost to death, had to be shot, and the cow was chewed up fearfully, and, with her horns broken off, lies very sick. At tlae end the dog managed to get through a hole broken in the partitiob by the cow's horns, and there lay till found. To Pledse Everybody. An enterprising newspaper which has just been started in Switzerland infoims the public that it will please everybody. This reminds the editor of the Advance of an incident in his own career.We had successfully con- ducted. a neWspaper in an incorporated villege foe several years, and then sold it. of course we had made a few enemies.; it is a poor chump of an editor that does not. Our successor in the editorial chair announced tbat his aim Would be to please everybody. In half the. nintaber of years, he had made as runty, enemies as we had, and fewer real staunch friends. Little Things Count. A lesson in economy may be learned from the decision of the Rock Island Railway in the matter of lead pencils. Rock Island lines spend about $6,000 a year on ths 325,000 pencils which they issue for the use of enaployeee. It is believed that on an average, not more than one-half of the pencil is used before it is thrown away, and it is estimated that if each employee will use another inch or so of each pencil the sexing will amount to about $2,000 per year. A suggestion, more practical than will he popular, bas been made that each stub shall be re- turned before a new pencil is issued. The Chinese Famine. Here are a few facts about this ter- rible famine :—Area of affected dis- tricts, thirty to fifty thousaqd square miles. Number of people who may meet death by starvation before next harvest, two to four million. In some districts the famine is the worst in forty years. $1 00 will provide for one person for one month; $3 00 may save a life; $15 00 may save a family from steevation. The Chine, Famine Relief Con.unittee of the U. S. have requested that Sunday, April 7, he set apart as "Famine Relief Day," and that, funds be raised in the churches. ID is to be hoped that soma such plan will be followed in. Oanada. It le sug- gested that all Canadian relief funds. will be retuitted through Oannelien channels direct to China.

Last Monday evening at sundown the Jewish race all over the world celebrated one of the most picturesque and unique feasts in the history of Hebrew annals.

Tb.e Feast of Passover extends for a period of seven days, but the first and the last two days of the celebration are held much more sacred. On these days all Jews are expected to attend the services at the Synagogue, where the prayer is con- ducted in a very impressive manner. CORN! CORN!
