EASTER
^Easter, the season when we incline
our hearts to the god of spring, is with
us once more. Typical of renewed
life, of restored vitality, it seems as
though some of its force and signifi-
v cance had gone. It finds us this time
with all that makes life dear, jeopar-
dized, and life’s beauties marred and
| tarnished by ruthlessness% It finds us
in a death grapple with the forces of
evil to retain the ideals so long typi-
fied by its ever Joyous return.
Taken from the myths and mystic-
isms of pagans, and grafted onto a
' -Christian stem, it has stood for cen-
turies as a symbol of a risen Lord,
a Lord who has triumphed over death
and brought confusion to his enemies.
has been to human kind a source of
inspiration, assuring them that though
the
BScf
forces of darkness may triumph
:or a season, there comes a time, when
the deadness of winter shall have pas-
> sed, when the good, the lovely, the
pure and the alive of earth shall rise
up and put to rout all enemies and
claim the sovereignty that Mother Na-
spiritual spring shall unfold before our
vision. May the grain of wheat, typi-
cal of the old man with all his pas-
sions, truly “fall into the earth and
die,” then in its place shall arise such
a flower of love and beauty as shall
dazzle our vision and enrapture our
souls.—Clipped.

Let us, then, who would look for an

own hearts and lives and see if we

Mrs. Lena Guilbert Ford, author of
the immortal song, “Keep The Home
Fires Burning,” was killed in a Ger-
man air raid on London. Mrs. Ford
was an American, and never fear but
that Americans will keep the home

her tragic fate will add fuel to the

When Secretary of War Baker was
under investigation, among the criti-
cisms leveled at his administration
was that he and the war were 3,000
miles aparl. The Secretary answered
every other criticism to the satisfac-
tion of the country, and then went to
France.. He is now in close personal
touch with the war, and it is to be
hoped his critics are satisfied and will
go to boosting. Work is what is
needed, anyway,, not criticism.
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
NOW is a mighty important word if you are going to buy a
Ford car. Apart from the uncertain business conditions
brought about by the war, therd is the greater than ever
before demand for Ford cars to take into consideration.
Ford dealers did not “stock up” with cars during the
months to be in readiness to meet spring trade—because
Ford cars are used every day of the year. The demand is
as eager and insistant in winter as it is in summer. If
there’s six feet of /snow in Dakota, with temperature be-
low zero, there’s warm sunshine and summer flowers in
Texas and many other states, and there everybody ap-
pears to want a Ford. There’s no telling whot demands
war may make. So don't put off buying; get a Ford car
now while the getting is possible. The all-around utility
of the Ford car specifies it as seething that will be
profitable to you. Its usefulness makes its purchase a
good investment. Today you can buy one with confidence
of delivery, but no promises can be given as to delivery
j4ter on. BUY NOW.

the knowledge that the honor of our
homes and ; country is safe in your
hands.
But we cannot but wonder, boys, if
you fully realize the great, the noble
thing that you are doing? Do you
realize that you are making history—
and history such as has never before
been written? That is the task you
have set for yourselves. You have
gone to meet a crisis in world history
before ‘which all previous crisis pale
to meager proportions. You are ac-
tors in the greatest drama of the hu-
man race, and on your actions hangs
the destiny of a world. We would not
seek to awe you by citing the tremend-
ousness of the task before you, but
rather to set before you the golden
reward that shall call forth 7in you all
of manhood that has come down to
you from a line of ancestors who have ,
never known either defeat or dis-
honor.
These are not mere sentimental
musings, dear boys, but they are the
truths that impress themselves upon
all our minds as we view the mighty
problems that the world must solve,
and in the solving of which you will
represent your people, your homes,*
your country and your God.
And when your task is completed
and you,return to us in the triumph
of a righteous victory, we trust to
have sufficient appreciation to give j
you that welcome that you will so1
richly merit. We hope to be able to :j
show to you that we are not ungrate-
ful for your service and your sacrifice.
At this point we stop to wonder
what will be our feelings if WE shall -
fail in the tasks that confront us, and
without the faithful performance of
which your work will be doubly diffi-
cult. And the desire is horn that a
united prayer shall go up from YOUR
hearts that we will be given grace to
perform our part of the ^reat work.
