They pet us, and we have fine the bunnies at work on the Easter tinier playing with them." eggs, getting them ready to fill the nets where the children might find them on 'Enter morning. Big fires were burning under the dye kettles, where the eggs were boiling. Rows of the colored eggs, red, pink, bine, yellow and green, were drying in the sun. Artistic bunnies were painting daisies and roses on the eggs, and stripes and stars of gold and silver paper were glued on to make them more Beautifully dazzling. The eggs were all finished, hundreds and hundreds of them, the night before Easter. Then, carefully carrying -them in baskets, the bunnies started out, by the light of the moon, just •vast its fullness, to put them in the nests. Grampy and Granunie Gray stayed at home, and a few others, but most of then!. went— Lopey Longears and Nannie Nibbler, carrying a basket be- tween them, Whaley Whitey, old Fleetfoot and Racer, Mrs. Bun, Ferdie Frisk, Sammy Springer, Caine Cottontail—oh, so many I couldn't name them all, we are never hungry; sueh quantities of food are brought tows—everything we like. And `then, there are the ail - Little Billy'Bun had pleaded to go with the rest. "No, no," his mother had toldehim. "It's too fair, and I can't be bothered with you. You'll be quite safe 'asleep in Grampy's house." Billy whined. It wasn't safety he wanted, but fun. -Wherever the !bunnies thought any children ,would look for the eggs— under bushes, in hen -houses, sheds and barns, in clumps of grass, and some- times right in the open' paths, they made nests and left behind them their beautiful treasures. Next morning Lepey Longears was weakened from a delightfully exciting dream by a pounding at the door. Iie sat up, quite startled. The spring sunshine was flooding the place, and a. bird somewhere nearby was trilling happily. At the door he found Mrs. Bun, her face quivering' with grief. "Oh, Lopey Longears!" she cried, "my little Billy! You must help me to get hien home again, He did not stay behind as I told hint to last night. I thought he was with Grampy until I went for him this morning. He must have followed us and got lostP" Other rabbits joined them, and they started out on their' search fon,.little Bally. All that day they looked for him; in the woods and fields, even venturing near some of the farmhouses, but no- where was he to be found. "When night Domes, I shall go into the village to look for hint!" de- clared Mrs. Bun, cher eyes red with weeping. dared Mrs. Bun, her eyes• red with Callie Cottontail. "I shall just go to bed and sleep, for I am tired." "But you are not his mother!" said Mrs. Bun. "I shall go if I have to go alone!" "I will go with you," promised Lopey Longears, "and so, I aur sure, will Nannie Nibbler and Whaley Whitey." "We will go, too," said Fleetfoot and Racer. When night came, many others joined them, and they started out once more. As they came to the edge of the visage, they found that the streets were 'brightly lighted, and many people ware wanting about. The town clock boomed out, striking eight, and the rabbits huddled together in fear, eotno of the more timid scurry- ing back toward the forest. "We -will .wait," said Lopey • Long - ears. "By and by ;the people will be asleep;.fn their homes, and then we' will be quite safe." When the streets were descried, the' bunnies trotted about, poking their noses into many strange places. Sammie Springer ventured into a hen- house where he remembered some eggs had been left, but was s'harp'ly pecked by a sleepy rooster, while all the 'hens set up a shrill outcry As they were passing through a large yard, Nannie Nibbler pointed to a 1Jttle building in one earner, near the stable, .miner a bare-boughed locust tree. "I know what that is,' she said. "A rabbit hutch. I pity the tame rab- bits who live there, poor things! I wonder they don't run away!" "Perhaps they :can't get out," said Lopey Longears. "We will go and look at. them." As the rabbits crowded around, Mn. Bun cried, "Hark! Dicl yon hear that? My Billy—et was his voice!" "Where, where?" .chorused the bun- nies. "In that rabbit -hutch!" 'cried Mrs. Bun. "Oh, my beautiful little Billyi He is shut up he there, and he is cry- ing for his father! We will get hien out, if we have to gnaw down the buildings." "Wait!" cried blleetfoot, who Tori ftnnbling. with the wooden button that fastened the door. "We need not do that, ,I eat open the door for him, Help me here, eeineboclyl" A dozen 'pttwve were ready to help, and the rabbits were soon ceowding ira Two tame ra'b'bits lived there, and with thein was the lost Billy, I113 mother rushed forward, and caught hint iii her trek, "1 heard .you crying," she said.: The ohildrenl" cried Mn. Bun, with terror in her eyes, •'"Oh, Billy! they niust neve); get ypu! Come with me, quick!" "But I like the children!" said little Billy. "They 'are good and kind to me, and smooth my fur, But I like you, too, and I like Lopey Longears, and all the others! Why can't you all stay here?" "Yes," urged Panicle and Fuzziie, "All of you stay. Oh, what merry times we would have! You would never have to hunt around for food. No. one would hurt you. You would have soft straw for beds, and be com- fortable and happy. Think of the frolics and rapes we would have on this big, amoral lawn!" "I will try it," said Mrs. Bun at last, fearfully. "If Billy Sikes it, per- haps I shall, too, in time. And I will never leave him." Ferdie Frisk laughed. "Let us all stay!" he urged. "It will be great fun." "They oould never shut us up—so many of us," said Whaley, "and df we did not like it, why, we could go back home any night." "I .am going back to the forest," said Racer, "slot to stay, but' o bring Grampy and Grammie 'Gray, Callie Cottontail and the rest. We must not leave then behind." Morning was drawing near, and the eastern sky grew rosy as Racer went bounding away. The bunnies all settled ,down to wait> "I am hungry," said Billy Bun. "I hope it eulnost breakfast time. You will see what nice things the -children can bring us," After a while, -Racer came back, bringing more of the forest bunnies back with him. Grampy Gray settled down on Fuzzy's. nice bed. "This is what I want for my old age," he said contentedly, "A good little house, warm and dry, and kind friends to bring me my food." "Yes," "said Grammie, carefully brushing some dust from the window, "we will live here always," "Look, look!" called Little Billy. "the children are corning with our breakfast," "They will have to bring a great deal this morning," said Pinkie, a little anxiously, The children, whose names were Jackie and Flora., stopped In amaze- ment -when they saw the multitude of bunnies in and around the rabbit - hutch. Jackie, wide-eyed and hall afraid,- clutched to his sister's dress, and dropped the cabbage he was bring- ing. "My sakeses!" gasped Flora. "Wherever did they all come frons? What shall we •do with so many?" She had not long to wonder, Rover Dog came bounding out through the shed door, and seeing the bunnies, dashed among them, bark's;: noisily. "Run for your lives!" cried Grampy Gray shrilly. "We shall stay here!" And he banged the door, fastening it on the inside. It fifteen seconds not a rabbit was left in ,igh•t, excepting Pinkie and Fuzzy, who knew that Rover Dog would not hurt them.e., When they were safe in the forest once more, the frightened bunnies stopped to rest a while and get their breath: "I shall never go near the village again," gasped Callie CottBittail, "though I live to be old --old! I should have known better this timer" Mrs. Bun was holding Billy firmly by the paw, and was the calmest one among them. "Ah, well!" she saki.

Isxaol Ruled by Judges -Judges 2: 6-23; Golden Text -2. Citron. 15: 4, 1. Now when Joshua. The book of Judges takes up the story of the Is- raelite people in Palestine after the death of Joshua. In 1: 1-2: 5 there is a brief summary review of what had 'taken place since the invasion of Wes- tern Palestine under Joshua's leader- ship. Frain this we learn "that the various tribes invaded the land either singly or in small groups; that in many instances they did not 'destroy the older population, but settled' peace- fully among•them; and that, in par- ticular, the large oities of Canaan, as well is the fertile valleys and the mar- itime plain, remained in the possession of the Canaanites" (Peaks', The conquest was by no means com- plete when Joshua finished his great task, but ,he had left the Israelite people strongly established, both east and west of Jordan. Their courage, their constancy, their steadfastness of purpose, their sense of unity, and their faith' in the God who had led them out of Egypt, were to be put to the test again in the years that followed, but the heroic spirit of Joshua remained with them and other great leaders were raised up to carry on his work. 10. There arose another genera- tion. It is always possible that the children may not be as good as their parents, but when that happens it is surely, fn large part at least, the fault of the parents. In this case the younger generation• had not been properly instructed. They knew not the Lord, nor yet the ,work which lee had wrought for Israel. Absorbed'in the busy activities of life in a new land and under now conditions, build• ins houses, cultivabhsg' fields, fight;ng battles, they had not taught their children. Hence the evils which fol- lowed. 14.15, The anger of the Lord, The Old Testament teaches the love of God, but it also declares Rio wrath. The writer, or rather the editor, of the stories of the Judges, supplies us here with his ointments upon the history. He interprets the calamities which came upon the people. as the re- sult of their evil doing, and as a dbtjnely ordained dlseiplino intended to load them to repentanoo. The ref- erence in v, 16 es the Lord had spoken, etc„ is to, the warnings con- tained in Bout. 28. Indeed, the entire passage which we studyeto-day bears the mark of having been written by one who was perfectly familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. 10-18. The' Lord raised up Judges. The order of events, as the writer sees then/, (1) sin, en forsaking the Lord; (2) defeat and oppression at the hands of their enemies; (3) Mistress and repentance, and (4) the raising up of a deliverer. And this he sees re- peated over and over again. Ile sees, and sees truly, that the hand of God is ever present, working mightily, not compelling men to do His wlll, but overruling even their misdeeds, and graciously providing a way of escape' from all the calamities which they brir apoot themselves. That by them I may prove Israel. Out of Israel's own failures the Lord will provide a testing and a discipline, The presence of these enemies whom Israel has failed to subdue or to drive out will furnish proof of ,fidelity. To put this fn terms of our modern life and modern ways of thinking, God's laws are so ordained that the temptations which beset u , and whidh often arise out of our owiideficiencies and errors and failures, may become a means to our betterment. The ' Message of the Resurrection What a wonderful day it is—this Easter Day! The whole world keeps it and feels new life in its message. And since 1914 it has a .peculiar sig- nificance, for so many brave men, and women, too, have died for a noble cause, and we know they are living, though we speak of them as dead, and they had a vision of the "contin- uity of life." The world has learned the great truth of immortality as she never learned it before. The message has come, not through philosophy, nor yet through an endeavor to pierce the veil and hear the voice, so long loved, once again; but through the assurance spoken in;tlfe heart of those who were ready to sacrifice all for the freedom of the world from a brutal rule, and who knew they were contending for God and His truth, No wonder that we gather in our churches, old and young, sick and well, learned and unlearned, little children and their parents and their grandpar- ents, and sing our carols and listen to the old Easter story of the garden and the open tomb! No wonder that we feel singularly near to the deer ones whom we can never forget ae we hear the choir' sing, "Ohuist is Risen!" If no one sang we feel that the stones themselves would cry out, "He is Risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!" Life beyond the grave—that is the first message. They are living whose dear names we take on our trembling lips, We cannot see or heat or touch but we know that since Christ came: the passing front earth is an entrance into a more splendid life than can ever be known here. And we think of the multitudes "over there"—such great multitudes, happy and singing, perchance, as we Ding, songs of de -i light and praise as they wait to web-' come "the pilgrims of the night" who are ,stills on their journey. What a change that message makes in all .aur human lives and struggles! Such a new meaning is revealed, such a new emphasis placed on our friendships, our toil, our sorrows and our joys. For these are the school -day lessons we are having now, which will be tran- slated into splendid motion "over there'" And every good thing is a promise and an assurance of the good awaiting us. And all we do here, ie done in the right spirit, seems to lift us nearer to the Iife 'beyond the skies. It is the most wonderful thing in the' world, this breaking down of the wall which tries to shut off Heaven from us. When the angels rolled the great stone away from that Gar'd'en Tonib and the Christ stepped out in His glorious majesty, scorning death and the grave, the devil turned away, for his boast .and power were gone» Henceforth he could only bother the' people, he could not Mb! them, Ansi the kingly Christ started thug; age - long procession of men and women and children singing, "'Life! Lite!" The second message is equally won-. derful. We ' shall have our bodies again when the Master calls, even as He had His body when Ho left the tomb. A glorified body it was, indeed, yet the same which ,IIe had blessed with His divine Presence for thirty- three years. There were the wound- prints, there was the voice and there were she wonderful eyes full of love. We can no longer despise our bodies "rade in the image of God. Even though they are weak here and often stained by sin, yet, by Christ's 'resur- rection they are assured of final life and potver and beauty and purity. Do you not love to think of your mother? Were not all the parts that made her known to you very precious—face, voice, hand, look, even her hair tinged with gray? WeII, some day you will see your mother and all the dear parts will be there, only freed from all weakness and signs of suffering—your very own dear, blessed mother whom you can never forget. And your little child, dear sorrowing mother, whose little shoes and garments are so inexpressibly precious to you since God called him to His arms of love— do you not long to hold him again, to see the look of him and feel the near- ness? Well you will have that long- ing satisfied some day, only the dear child will be perfect, with'`no weak- ness, no suffering, no sign or mark of weeping. What a joy awaits you there! It is the Easter story that declares it. Soul and body all perfect, beautiful, precious, and eternity to wveicoinet you, etorn]ty knowing no end 01051 no limit of joy. Tho third message results from the other two. If it is life for me when God calls me and if my body at last shall share that life, then I want to rise evert now while on •earth into newness of living. And that means,. first, that I shall ask Christ to wash away my sins and keep me clean. It means, second, that I will try to be as good d person as God wishes me to be, and I will look to Him for strength and guidance. It means, ,third, that I will live not for my own pleasure or profit, but for others, just as Jesus did. I will try to help my brothers on the way and share with .them all the blessings God has granted me. And it means, fourth, that I will try to make the world better (1) by tell- ing people everywhere the story of God's love and Christ's salvation; (2) by fighting all the evils with which Satan tries to ruin the Tours and bodies of men, and (3) by advancing with all my might those good things which make men happy and good and pure. This is the resurrection life be- gun here. Already;we have risen with Christ. All things have become new. I have a new outlook, a new horizon, a new understanding.' Life is big now and has no ending. ()heist is near me, not an unknov"n being far off, The people about me.are my brothers aid sisters,- Christ's children, even as I ant Christ's child, I have a work to do for my Lord and I love to do it be- cause I love Him and He loves me, and He is ready to help me .do the work. Ah,. it is a glorious Easter, is it not, my' friend ? Do you not feel the ,thrill of it and the life of it? Do not be gloomy or sad. Do not think with tears of the ones whom you cannot see, but look with your eyes of faith beyond the clouds, for they are all living there. Above all else, see the dear Lord Jesus as Ile stands in all His splendid glory and stretches out His hand to you and cries: "I am the resurrection, and the life, I have con- quered death. I have opened Para- dise. (tome, follow Me."

Easter'Gantes. Scrambled Eggs—Have a number of snail tables in readiness, with a little heap of candy eggs in the centre of each. Give each child a pair of candy tongs and a paper bag. Seat four children at each table and tell them to try, in turn to remove an egg from the pile without stirring any of the others. If a. child does this success- fully, then he puts the egg in his paper' bag; if any others ,in the pile are disturbed, he loses the one he is try -i ing to get and cannot make another attempt until it is his regular turn.: At the end of a given time a bell is Tung, then the two at each table having the most eggs progress to another table, This is similiar to the familiar game of jackstraws, and can be continued until all of the eggs are removed. Easter Bells.—Suspend several bells across the middle of the room, so that they will be a foot apart and about one -inch' from the floor. Ask the girls to sit at one end of the' room and the boys at the other. Give each of the children a haul-boiled'toioreal egg, and ask these to roll their eggs, in turn, aiming at one of the bells. An older person must ,keep the score, If any egg is rolled so hard that it becomes chipped when it strikes a bell, its possessor is no longer in the contest. The child who has rung a bell the greatest number of times without chipping his egg, is the win- ner of the game. i Gathering Eggs.—Distribute candy eggs around one or two rooms.. Some may be hidden, others placed within sight of all. Have some at the piano. Give each of the chi! clren a paper bag and tell them bpi begin gathering eggs as soon as the: music starts, but those who collect any after the music stops forfeit all they have taken up to that point, It will add to the fun if the musician varies the length of her selections, never playing longer than three min- utes at any one time. The Deaf Rabbit,—This is very similar to the familiar game of Don- key -without -a -tail. Cut a large bun- ny from white paper, and pin it se- curely to a dark curtain; this picture rabbit must haye no ears. Give the children rabbit ears made of pink and white flannel. Blindfold each one, in turn, and ask him to pin an ear en the bunny. The Easter Lily. I Wooed by the winds, it raised its stem To greet that emerald earth, Dawn touchecf-it with her garment's hem And glorified its birth. Lured by the love in nature's face Its chalice opened far; And, frsgrant with the dews of grace, Drew there a morning star. Around the sacramental wine, White -robed, and faultlessly, The Easter altar wears this sigh Of immortality. Christ, Our Sun. • Christ, our Sun, arose on Easter morn- ing To banish night From darkened souls of men, And give them light, That men might live again; And die, like Him, death scorning. Eastertide. Our Queen of festivals is here, By magic touch in each direction, The bursting Mule anew proclaim The joy of resurrection. All wakening nature seems to say "Welcome; Welcome; Happy Day." The Lord is risen,, 1 Easter, the queen of festivals, is one of the moveable feasts of the Christian world, Many of the old customs still linger with us in the var;ous parts of the country. The custom of distributing the page, or pasche egg, was at one time universal in the Christian world, It is still ob- served among the children. In Scotland great numbers of dyed eggs are rolled or thrown about on the lawns, and then are finally eaten. Just about this season of the year we all hear the small boy and his ilk, loudly calling: "Upper, tupper, upper aig." So, while the small boy has his time picking, here are a few _novel recipes to entertain his elders: Easter Eggs.—Put one cup of cocoa- nut through the food chopper, and then place in a bowl and add white of one egg, two tablespoons of cream, one teaspoon of vanilla, sufficient icing sugar to make the mixture mold. Form into eggs, using the bowl of a large tablespoon to shape the egg. PIace a piece of string down the centre of each egg to hold it while dipping in the chocolate. Lay tbFe eggs aside to dry. Dip in chocolate or colored fondant. To Prepare Chocolate for Dipping.— Place one-half pound of dot chocolate, two tablespoons of butter, piece of paraffin size of almond in a double boiler. Heat slowly, stirring the choc- olate to prevent streaking. The choc- olate meet not melt at a temperature over 95 degrees Faht•enheit. F,.ghty- five degrees Fahrenheit is really much better.
