Easter Kisses
I Public love -making, an old-time
I Easter custom, is still a feature of
the holiday in various parts of Eng-
land.
On the nest Tuesday after Ettater,
the young men of Hungerford, a
small town on the borders of Wilt-
shire and Berkshire, may safely
kiss every maiden. they meet. This
privilege has been handed down
since John o' Gaunt's day, and the
men are !expected to give an orange
in exchange. for the salute.
Many years ago a large sum of
money was bequeathed to the town
authorities Smedgate, in York-
shire, on coudition that every East-
er the interest on the money. was
distributed among poor people who
wished to get married but had not
enough money to bay the necessary
furniture.
In some parts of the country girls
have au Easter test that is supposed
to indicate the identity of their fu-
ture husbands. The test consists of
selecting an onion to represent each
of the eligible men. All the onions
are then placed in the chimney cor-
ner to force. their growth. The first
to show signs of sprouting is eon.

AT LAW
By BUD FISHI?.R
II. ON TRUE HOSPITALITY, 14 1244.
We are not to understand by this
that Jesus tells Cheistians they are
to give no parties ies their friends,
but a man is not to fancy himself as
being hospitable and a good fellow be-
cause he often entertains his felende
and those whom •he likes. There is
nothing meritorious about that. The
distinctive element in, the Christian
character is that it his 'a love 'which
breaks through the narrow 'nitric -
ions of class and :et the group. bf
people we happen to like, and em-
braces the whole world., including our
"enemies."
The hope of reward is not to be the
Christian illative. The ,Christian must
d good to others beem.use,he loves
them, not 'because ne "rill be reward-
ed for it, but he will be 'rewarded.
His reward will come "in the eeser-
rection of the just," thet is to ssay, in
heaven. Jesus did not 'denonnee
wealth, but he warned men. :of its
-kingdom, for the kingdom consists of,
belongs to, those of childlike spirit.
Here is something very distinctive in
Christianity. The ambition ef the
Jew was to keep the Law, the ambi-
tion of the Gentile to be powerful or
to be wise, but prover and wisdom and
scrupulous righteousness are not eo
important to God as the child -like
heart. But what is this childlikeness
required of men? Jesus was not
sentimental about ehildren. He him-
self as the eldest of a large *wily
d ubtless knew how -naughty and dif-
ficult children can be. What, then,
did he ieean? He was probably think-
ing, not of the innocence of children, They Had to Agree
but of their trustfulness. A child
does not doubt that be is loved, does
ot doubt that itis little affairs are
of importance to him parents, does not
doubt that provision will be made for
him by a father's and mother's care.

The Poet
By Witter Belmar
A poet lived in Galilee
Whose mother dearly knew Him,
And His beauty like a cooling tree
Drew many people to Him.
He loved the speech of simple men
And little children's laughter.
He came, they always came again,
He went—they followed atter.
He had sweet -hearted things to say,
And He was solemn only
Whoa people were unkind that day;
He's stand there straight and lonely,
And tell them what they ought to do;
"Love other tolls," He pleaded,
"As you love me and I love you!"
But almost no one heeded.
A poet died in Galilee. • e
They stared at Him and slew Him.
What would they do to you and me
if we should say we keels, Him?
