EASTER
The Sabbath night had pad, and in
the Mat
The flrat pala atraaka of roaa fora
told tha day,
When from tha city, Mary Magdalena
And otnera, bearing apices, came to
Uy
Them in the Master's tomb.
They marvsied that the stone which
had been aealed
Waa rolled away, and stooping down
they aaw
aside the tomb two angels robed in
white.
Whose radiance made them bow
their heads in awe
"He is not here," they heard.
"Did He not say that He would rise
again?
Seek ye the living, then, among the
dead?"
And, trembling, Mary and the others
went
To His disciples, telling what was
said.
Yet one would not believe.
For Thomas told his brethren, "Till
I've thrust
My hand I .its the Master's wounded
side,
And felt the prints of nails inside His
hands.
I'll not believe He lives again who i
died."
And later Christ appeared.
He bade the doubting Thomas make
his tests,
Who did and said, "My Lord," and
Christ replied,
"Because you have beheld me, you
believe,
But those who have not seen my
hands and side
And yet believe, are blessed."

HOME-GROWN EASTER LILIES
Experiments Made by the United
States Department of Agriculture
Have Been Successful.
When It first became known that ex
periments in niising Enster lilies from

were prepared to believe tbnt ifce

value beyond the possibilities of pro
ducing new hybrids. The results ot
these experiments, which have now
been curried on for four ve.lrs. indi

Sinre her husbund had died and had
lefi her very poorly off the cynical
relations hud wondered what had made
her ever marry him In the first place.
And some of them had said that doubt
less she had had her eyes shut when
she took hlin.
Rut such was not the case. She
had always been very happy despite
her po rerty. They had been generous
even with their little, and the relatives
who were hopeful that the Jewels she
possessed would later realize them
something had said that fools and tbelr
money were soon spotted. They were
afraid that others who were more
friendly and more sincere would be
left that w hich they felt as blood heirs
should be theirs.
The little old lady of whom they
talked for a long time had wanted to
get a copy of the Apocrypha. The va
rious family Bibles which also con
tained these books were so old ns to
be crumbling to pieces.
So she went to the nearest Book
shop of the town. "Have you the
Apocrypha?" she asked.
'The what?" asked the bookseller.
"The Apocrypha," she repeated.
Now, the bookseller was proud of
his reputation of having every, book
which could be asked for within any
degree of reason. And he kept right
up to date, too, reading nil hook notes
mid notes of future publications.

him.
"It's not out yet, Is It?" he asked.
"Yes," the little old lady answered.
"Well, It couldn't have been out
very h.ng, 1 don't believe," he added.
"It fill depends upon what you cnll
'long.' " she had answered amusedly.
"It has been out about a thousand or
rvo thousand years, that's all," she
ndded.
She had told me this story "with
genuine relish, but afterward she bad
been glad she had not been able to
buy the Apocrypha then. She found
she really could not afford It; she
could afford nothing to speak of, at
the present time. And Easter waa

NAVY TO BE REDUCED TO
7,0W MEN BY THE HOUSE
The house appropriations committee
has. proposed the reduction of the
C riled Elates Davy to 67,000 men.
Such a reduction would Ignore tha
basic naval policy set down by the
arms conference, do less than 80,000
enlisted personnel and 6,000 apprenti
ces being necessary to keep the
United States abreast of Great Brit
ain and ahead of Japan.
The provisions ol the bill are not
only in opposition to the bask naval
volicy of the country, but are in op
position to the. view of President
Harding, Secretary Denby, the com
manding ofheer of the fleet and every
navy officer who has testified before
the committee.
"If the appropriations committee
continues this policy of attempting to
iensiaie Dy wunnotaing iunas lor me
proper activities oi tne government,
said Representative McArthur, or Or
egon, Kepublican, "there will be a re
volt among house members and the
present system of centralism a-
propriating power in one committee
will be abandoned."
FORTY NATIONS TO HAVE
REPRESENTATION AT GENOA
Economic conference at Genoa went
into session last Monday, forty na
tions, including Russia, being .repre-
sented. The United States is not to
figure, officially, in the conference, be
lieving it to be political rather than
economic in character.
I Since the overthrow of the Kerensky
frnvnrnmenr in 1Q17 Hi, coin hoc nnt
participated in world affairs, hence
The decision to call' the conference
was reached by the Allied Supreme
council meeting at Cannes early in
January. Rapidly diminishing Euro
pean exchange; Diuions ot dollars in
unpaid debts, German reparations,
necessity of reconstructing devastated
areas, the Russian situation, and .hope
that the United States would lend it-
self as a stabalizing influence, consti-
tuted the pressure behind this decis-
ion.
