The Message Of
Easter
1 ?' , '
?v . - If* ? f
?? ' ?
(By DAN TOMPKINS)
1 , n
Prom out the dim dis
tance of antiquity comes
the voice of Job, inquir
ing: "If a man die, shall
he live again?" And then
the mind of faith asserts:
"I know that my Re
deemer liveth."
The avowed followers
of the Nazarene have oft
en made & sorry mess of
thing# in this sorry
world, with their eternal
bickerings, division of
creed, attempted en -
forced conformity, and
have carried the sword
where the olive branch
would haw been the more appropriate and ef
fective weapon. Rut there ar* three shrines
about which every sect of trinitarian Christians
can meet on common ground d worship "a com
mon floe i? Cradle of Bethlehem, the Cross of
Golotha, and the Empty Tomb in the garden.
Another year is passed, and once again we
come to the .Easter season. More of our friends
i 1 j fi
and those we love have gone with the innumer
able caravan of the sons of men, that is journey
mEiflto the Somewhere. ,i&
They sleep beneath the storm-tossed seas, in
the frozen north land, under the wind-swept
prairies, amid the dusty ruins of ravished cities,
beneath the poppies of France, and upon the
peaceful hilltops of the pleasant countryside.
AVe are one year nearer our fast-approaching
disjoint ion.
Their is no reasonable explanation of tlie
miracle of life and death. We know not by the
\\ ?
light of reason, but that our bodies shall return
to the dust f'roni which they came, and that we
?shall nevermore behold the form and face of
those we have loved and lost.
? 1 .
We have 110 hope but in the new tomb of
Joseph of Ariniathea; but, looking upon that
Empty Tomb, from which the Nazarene, by the
power of 1 1 is own might, raised Himself, we
know, by faith in the redeeming power of the
Lion of the tribe of Judah, that our bodies shall
be raised incorruptible, and we can say with
Job, "Yet in my flesh shall I see God."
The Land of Promise is ahead of us, where
our frustrated hopes will find fruntion, where
our puny efforts will become mighty works,
where we shall again meet those we love, where
the scars 011 our hearts will be obliterated, .where
our wounded spirits will be healed by the Balm
that is in Gilead, where all tears will be wiped
from our eyes, and where there shall be no more
restraining sea to bind us to the lonely island of
' I ) '
our exile.
This is the message of Easter. These the glad
tidings proclaimed by the Empty Tomb. Once
again all Christendom gathers about its sacred
precincts to worship, to wonder and to hope. In
His own good time, the Christ who arose from it
and cast off the body of death, can and will com
mand the earth and the ,sea to give up their dead
All nature proclaims the return of eternal
Spring, the summoning of dead things to life
again, and hails the Mighty Conqueror. Hosts
of angelic choirs chants His praise; and the dy
ing race of men find in Him their only hope.

Democrats To Have
Motorcade To Raleigh
Democrats of the eleventh con
gressional district will form a mo
torcade to Raleigh, going there to
attend the Jackson Day dinner,
which will be held in that city on
Saturday evening. All Democrats
from the western counties who will
attend the dinner are expected to
ii'ieet at Cary, twelve miles this side
of Raleigh at five o'clock Saturday
evening and drive to the city in a
body.
The decision to form the motoicade
was reached at the meeting of Young
Democrats held in Bryson City, on
the evening of March 17, and a com
mittee composed of the club presi
dents in the eleventh district and
headed by Holmes Bryson, Jr., of
Asheville, was appointed to work
out the details. Mr. Dan Moore is
rviSS^leVil of the Jacksbn County
Club.
Mr. Biyson made the statement
which follows, to the papers today:
"We will assemble in Cary at five
o'clock, on the afternoon of the 31st,
and at five-fifteen will move out
for Raleigh, headed by a police
escort. All members of the commit
tee have been urged to sec that rep
resentative groups from their coun
ties be present at Cary, and ready
to move out on time. All cars will
have sign* and banners on them.
Indications show, so far, that we
will have quite a few cars. All Dem
ocrats are urged to join in the pro
cession."
Plans are being perfected to make
the Jackson Day dinner an annual
affair and get-together for the North
Carolina Democrats.

One result of the severest Winter
known Ln the East ainee Valley
| Forge in that the ground has frozen
t?ol /unprecedented deaths in some
parte of New England. Following a
season of the most abundant rain
for several years, with the soil well
moistened, the front-line ha<i gone ns
deep as six feet in my own Berk
shire County.
We had two years of severe
drouth which lowered the water-table
ten to fifteen feet. Then we had two
years of rains and open winters. This
Spring the melting of the heaviest
snowfall in a century has flooded all
the valleys, washed out bridges and
inundated low part* of many towns.
My guess is that it will be mid
June before my river meadows are
dry enough to till, und at least that
late before the ehill gets out of the
upland soil.
It won't taKe drastic action on
the part of the Federal Oovernmen*;
to reduec agricultural production in
New England this year!
PEBTB . . ? few nurvived
This ought to be a good year for
tree fruits in the Fast. Agricultural
biologists tell us that the San Jose
scale, the codling moth and other
tree p.-sts whose larvae hibernate in
the ground1, have been pretty well
killed off by the extraordinary pen
etrating cold .weather. Rabbits,
squirrels and field mice, like all tin;
o4her warm-blooded wild animals,
will be comparatively scarce next
Summer. I hear reports of many deer
having been fro/en or starved
to death in the woods around
my farm, ami there is some reason
to believe that the frost got deep
enough into the ground to kill off
4 good many woodchuicks, 1 hough
they are pretty tough critters to get
rid of.
I look for more than the usual
volume of raid on chicken house.-*
by red foxes this7 season, for those
animals usually survive any sort of

FINGERBOWLS ... in England
Until Edward VII, father of t Ji?'
present King of England, ascended
the throne in 1901 there had been
no fingerbowls on the royal table
for two hundred years. That was be
canse inanv of the English nobilitv
believed that all the kings and
queens of England sinee James II
w,ere usurpers, and that the rightful
king was one of the House of Stuart
in exile on the Continent. So when
the toast to the King was drunk
they would hold their wine glasse*.
over the fingerbowls and thus drink
to "the King ov-er the water."
There are no lineal descendants
of James now Iking, hut tlit: memory
of the "Jacobite" rebellion ? so called
because "Jacobus" is the Latin word
for James ? is kept alive by n secret
society known as the Order of tile
White Rose, which hash ranches in
White Rose, which has branches in
England and Scotland, so one of my
friends who belongs to it told me
the other day.
"It's nonsense, of course," ho
said, "but no more than manv other

tion, after all, is to get men together
