There are a few who are followers • of the way. Some believed that He would be an earthly King; " others thought He was the promised Mes- siah. In the midst of all this confus- ion there was a great deal of un- certainty: ncertainty: Front the worldly view point this 'vas the end of all hopes Which had been inspired 'by Christ. ' Our Saviour on the Cross could see in- to the future. He understood the feel- ings of those about Him. He knew those who were faithful to Him. He 'could look beyond the tune of His re- surrection to where there would be no more uncertainty When every- • thing would be made clear and plain. Christ looking down could see His 'mother and could pick out all those must, have spoken to His Cross bear- er. We like to think of the things which' might have been said. Around the foot of the cross there was a perfect rabble. The commotion and shouting must have been almost terrifying but Jesus with His vision of the Beyond'could see the Heavenly realm where peace would reign throughout the eternal ages. The disorderly crowd was dividing His belongings, quarrelling among themselves, but Christ knew that His death and resurrection would bring an absolute unity such as the world would never know. So. it is to -day. We look about us and see the chaos and misery which this war has brought and the only thing which Who truly loved Him.

Many times we wonder why Jesus left His mother to the care of John "when she had a family of her own. We know little of the Life of Jesus, but we believe that at this time Jos- 'eph had passed on and there was no one in the immediate family of Christ COOKING PAGE 7 Ise never ;fails. Then just at this particular season we have an Earthly Sorrow. His moth- er and friends were parting with Him They 'could not understand the reas- en for it nor can we realize why it is our loved ones are taken from us. Since the last Easter Season in many homes there is a vacant chair and before the year rolls around again much sorrow will come into our lives. Perhaps at this season of the year more than at any other we miss our. dear ones and if we have a hope of the future our thoughts turn to the hereafter. It is only because Christ died that we .have this future to look forward to. We mourn for those who have gone on but we must try to think of all the trouble and anxiety they are escaping: God in His Goodness called them home to a land of peace and joy. As Christ hung on the cross He realized that His death and resur- rection would give to us ;something better than the world could offer us. Yes, we are lonely. There are very few who are not and to those who in recent months have been bereaved our hearts go out in sympathy. The days are lonely. and time is slow in passing but when our dear ones are with Christ they are enjoying a hap- piness which they never thought poss. Bible. ' Let us make the Easter season the happiest of our lives by giving our- selves to Christ. We cannot expect to join our loved ones in the glory land if we have not the faith and trust in the Saviour whom they loved. "Wilt thou follow me?"— The Saviour asked. The road looked bright and fair. And filled with youthful hope and zeal I answered, "Anywhere." Many times in the war stricken areas there may be seen a look of intense hatred on the faces of those. who are treating with cruelty their enemies who are learning to hate thein can w'e imagine a time When that look will turn to one of love.

A stranger night was on the earth Than ever had befallen man. No light there was in ail the world Except the cold stars overhead: No sound except, in measured beat, The Roman sentry's iron tread. All night the silence held; all night The black hill •loomed above the town. The tall cross stood against the sky. The stars carte up, the stars went down; They wheeled and set. The watch was changed. A dreamer stirred but did not wake. The city slept. And, pure and clear The dawn of dawn began to .break. V, UPON A HILL There stood a cross upon a Hill, Whereon the world's Redeemer died And that sane Cross is standing still In lives with Jesus crucified Beside that Cross thele was a grave, Where death gave up the Grown he wore: And whose dies with Christ shall. save His offered life, and live the more. And whose lives in Christ 'shall be A temple where his Lord displays The glory' of humility, The life of God in lowly, ways. Dear Son of God, I too, would live By Thy strong faith renewed in me;. And by that love' which Thou didst give • 1, too, would give myself to Thee. Commissioner Albert Orsborn.

V DEATH AND APRIL By Audrey Alexandra Brown 0 April, come again! Not with the shining lances of the. TEN Not .with the weeping dew— Lest we be only moved to mourn with you Who have such. bitter daily cause for tears, Seeing the years Cannot restore our lost, the proud, the young. The men of •high heart and silver tongue. But April, set the hills With sounding horns of golden daffo- dils; Let the clear star Of jasmine break upon our sight from far; Make ready cup of lily, crown of rose, And every sweet that blows-- Preach lows-Preach Easter to the darkness of our blind Bleeding, groping anguish of the mind. The doors of truth open only- to the true. Put $100 into a Victory Bond and you put nine fighting Canadians into battle dress and provide them with anti -gas trench rattles.

Ab, friend, ah, friend — Death is the beginning, not the end!"
