spoke to the group. He used _as his
theme, “Service To Our Fellow
man.” Mr. Russell discussed first
our reasons for celebrating Easter.
He said that he believed that some
of us celebrate Easter materially—
that it is a period to purchase
spring and summer clothing.
Others celebrate Easter as a mat
ter of tradition or custom. Mr. Rus
sell stressed the idea that we
should celebrate Easter as a rebirth
or a renewal of our faith in Christ.
He stated. “Christ was crucified
on Good Friday, ami arose on Eas
ter Sunday. Christ gave His life
on the cross to save the world."
This was Christ’s contribution to
mankind.
Mr. Russell concluded his ad -
dress by saying, “we cannot do as
Christ did, but we can give un
selfishly of our time doing good
deeds without expecting pay in re
turn. We must sacrifice something
that we could use for the good of
others.”
At the conclusion of the program
Mr. Spencer, the principal, express
ed appreciation to Miss Satterfield
and her group for presenting such
a worthwhile program. He also
thanked Mr. Russell for participa
ting in the chapel exercises.
