EASTER HOPE.
By Rev. D, Perrie.
Of all the days in the Christian
calender Easter is the day of hope,
On this day the •Cheistian mind is
brightened. There comes the thought
of a new life of undying hope through
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead, How much this mean e to
many II soul weary with life's burdens.
Like the dull dismal day with its
leaden skies there isgloom and de.

ed by, affliction or clouded by sorrow,
the Easter message is new life and
hope. The Easter festival seems to
take the ;Mace of the Jewish Pass-
over, The Passover celebrated a
people's escape from death. East-
er rejoices not simply that death
has been avoided, but that it has beet,
'faced and coaquered. At Easter sea-
son the thoughts naturally revert to
the plaee "where was a garden" and in
the garden a tomb. The hope of
Christendom rests on the fact that the
10 nb was empty, The fact has never
been nor can be disproved. It was not
poeeible that such an one as He could
be holden by the ban ds of d'eatbs In
death He triumphed over death and
bequestahea tu men an undying hope.
As aptly expressed by a writer of
note, 'Whatever may have happened
at the grave and in the appearances,
one thing is certain: from this ,grave
the indestructible faith in the con-
quest of death and in an eternal life
has taken its origin." One of the
first acts of the disciple band after
the Master's ascension was to fill a
vacant place in their company. The
supreme qualification of the new dis-
ciple was, that he must have been a
witness of the resurrection. How
would it be possible to found a church
or witness for Christ without a per-
sonal knowledge of that. fact. How,
preach to a people who through fear
of death were all their life -time sub-
ject to bondage if there is no deliverer
to break the bonds. But it is through
death that he who bad the power of
death is destroyed and mankind are
free, This is the Easter message.
This is the treth which every Easter
proclaims. On this truth the hope of
humanity rests. In this faith the
christian church' has fought and
triumphed over evil through all the
• ages. It was this hope which called
forth the martyrs. This hope which
gave men courage and endurance
when broken -spirited and on the
verge of despair. The hope which
alone can cheer and •gladden and give
inspiring outlook in these twentieth
century days, It must therefore be
seen that such a hope is a living hope.
There are hopes which have no vitali-
ty, no energy, no practical effect up-
on life. But the Easter herald pro-
claims that we have received a living
hope. To a greater or less degree
it lives in every soul. It is to be ex-
perienced in its thrilling power and
uplift at the preseot moment. But
the secret of that inward life is union
with the risen Christ. "Because I
live ye shall live also." "I live, yet
not I, but Christ liveth in me."
"Christ in you the hope of glory."
Christ's immortality is therefore the
Christian's immortality. His life is
also, the life of His people, Hie
triumph over death is also their vic-
tory, Tbis is the Easter message.
This its the Easter hope.
"A hope so great and so divine
May trials well endure."
BARRIE SELECTS CONCRETE.
• The Committee delegated by the
Council to visit Detroit with a view
of 'recommending a permanent pave-
ment for Bradford street returned to
Barrie on Saturday and reported that
they had inspected the various roads
as follows :a:Vitrified Brick, Cresote
Blocks, Sheet Alphalt, Tar -Macadam,
Reinforced Concrete and Concrete.
CONCRETE.—The Committee inspect-
ed a great number of concrete roads
in Wayne County, and the City of
Detroit and the opinion was that the
concrete road answered the purpose as
well as any of the other roads, was of
a pleasing appearance and after sever-
al years of traffic showed no signs of
wear or rather any wear there might
have been was so evenly distributed
over the surface as to show not the
faintest sign of a rut or unevenness.
The road is hard. or harder than the
ordinary concrete sidewalk and of
sufficient roughness to afford a good
foot hold foe the horses hoofs, the
motor traffic has apparently no in-
jurione effect and from the opinions
gathered the life of the road could be
placed at least'at thirty years. The
construction of this is from 5 to seven
inchee of concrete mixed 1-2-4 and
worked to the required shape of the
road, great care must be taken in the
selection of the materials paid that they
are mixed in the right proportions, the
spreading Inuit be done by men well
up in the work and every precaution
taken to insure an even and. thorough
mix. Expansion Joints are construct
ed every twenty-five feet in the -
same • third barn throughout the district,
manner as the re-inforced concrete arid vests unroofed, but space will not per -
great care taken in their construction. mit of us mentioning all.
The cost of this road varies very
greatly according to the material and
local conditions. Inquiries into the
cost of the `various localities wheteIt
has been constructed shows a ruts of
frosts 87 cents by day labor to $1.43 by
contract, Taking into corisideratiob
the local conditions in Barrie the esti-
mated eost of the concrete road is
$125 as an almost outside figure.

Equinoctial Oales.
Even Nature has to play her little
joke, for Friday, March 21-4, in-
stead of being "Good Friday" will be
looked upon for some time to come as
"Bad Friday.' Science generally dis-
proves the fact that there are Equi-
noctial galee, but March 21st is the
date of the Vernal Equinox, when the
sun crosses the equator, and. on that
date a gale of cyclonic fury swept over
Ontario and the Western States.
Early in the morning, rain began* to
fall, accompanied by a fairly good
wind, which continued to increase in
velocity until about 2 o'clock, creating
havoc in its wake, The' damage done

amounted to thousands of dollars.
The mounting shop of the Western
Foundry, which "WAS erected last Fall
was damaged to the amount of $8500,

pletely unroofed and their loss is ap-
proximated at $10,000, Had it not
been for their prompt action get-

able damage was done to the Wing -

SKIPS SHOW RESULTS.
Mr. Jas. Minro of Lambeth, Ont.,
writes :—"Interest,ing results follow-
ed my purchase of several sacks of
Homestead Bone Black Fertilizer
from H. Hamlyn of this place this
Fall to put on my wheat. I used a
new International drill with fertili-
zer attachment and not being ac-
customed to the working of the at-
tachment some skips were made in
the field. The difference , between
the fertilized and the unfertilized part
of the field at the present time is
simply astonishing. The portions fer-
tilized are darker and much heavier.
I intend using more in the spring."
Homestead Fertilizers are manu-
factured and sold by the Michigan

FRAIL, SICKLY CHILD
Restored to Health by Vinol—
Letter to IVIothers.
Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin. and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit of such mothers in
this vicinity we publish the following
letter.
S. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn., says: "My little daughter, ever
since her birth, had been frail and.
eickly, and was a constant source of
;worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her Vinol. 1 ira-
medlately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. 1 gave
,her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good it has done her 1 can truly
say it will do all you claim."
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from cods' livers,
—combined with the blood -making
and strength -creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contained its
Vinol.
Vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, run-down and debilitated. We
return tie money itt every ease where
It fails.
