In nature, as in the Christian religion, it is the season of the resur- rection. To the church it is the anniversary period of a Christ arisen. To an earth journeying around the sun in a series of seasons it means that the calendar has returned to the period of spring. gre requiem of winter has been intoned, the hour has come to sing the carol of the birds and the blossoms. Nature has come to a resurrection also. Life is again to spring from the soil. All earth is about to become gay and joyous and bounti- ful with creation. For spring and Easter are inseparable now as they ‘were—one and the samc—when the feast was the spring festival of the pagan era, The martyrdom of Christ has been added to the traditions of the old festival, exalting and hallowing it to real spiritual heights. It is the ancient vernal stage in the orbit of the year, a sublime season in the heart, the reawakening of the soul to the deific influence, the resurgence of the prin- ciple of immortality which all nature expresses in its re- newal of life. The atmosphere of sentiment envelopes the hour. The DETROIT Kresge Bldg the uk days of the right of every man to do as he likes with his own are « relic of the cighteenth and nineteenth centuries and will not work in the twentieth.” That statement expresses the situation admirably. It presents a condition we must recognize. We may not like it, but we must accept it. ““e are the descendants of the frontiersmen, true enough, and we live in the same part of the globe that they lived in; but our world‘ts as different from theirs as ancien. Rome. The standards and customs they used simply will not work today. We might as well stop hinking about them. An utterly new !:ind of society has been brought forth in the last half century, entirely unlike anytying the wor’. ever saw before. Modern machinery, modern method c. transportation, modern forms of communi- cation, have given every manvan Infinitely greater num- ber of wext-door neighbors than his ancestors had. Year by year the necessity for co-operation grows greater; year by year it becomes increasingly evident that no man can live for himself alone. This may be very fine or it may be too bad; worrying about it won't help much, The main thing is to admit that tie change has come, that the old days are gone forever, that the old standards arc eternally out of date. MODERN TRADING SIMPLEST The retail price of any commodity must recompense the producer of the raw materials, the transporter of those ra\y materials to the factory, the manufacturer of the finished product, the distributor of the finished produc among retail stores. In each step there is labor and ¢- pital to be rewarded for services rendered. Mine-, factories, large farms and stores are but a few cen’ “is old. Transportation facilities for commerce are clder. Colonial America depended in the main upon famiiy-independence. There was no commerce between towns and but little between settlers int any one colony. There were few imports and little trading and mer- chandising. Each family made its own shots, cloth, clothing, furniture, house and raised its own food. Trad- ing was chiefly in gunpowder and tea. Every public school pupil remembers stories in the school histories of the handcraftsmen of the Old World. ‘Where commerce existed at all it was single-exchange be- tween producer and consumer. As centuries passed there were traders on land and sea who bought up the prod- ucts of one country to sell them in another. How much easier it is today. The modern store has reduced the entire process to one step for the consumer at merely the cost of the service. PRESIDENTIAL HANDSHAKING Washington dispatches say that President Hoover will soo: have to décide whether or not to continue the presi- dential custom of spending from thirty minutes to an soul is inspired to fare forth in journeyings by still waters, through peaceful valleys, where soft grasses, awakening buds and imaginary scents of flowers soothe and sweeten a newly aroused world. Even in its colors and its new raiments, Easter is as ancient as the race, When the earth throws off its old garments, man always has wanted to sing as the birds do. All this comes together with Easter. All nature and creation tune in with the divine chorus of e' upspringing life. Easter speaks out of the heart, spring utters its joys out of the’soll and the bud. A radiant, colorful hallelujah of green and red and gold blends in the rhythm of nature. A song is in the the hearts of mankind. And Easter is its soul symbol. Even the vanity of new garments, the jest of the spring hat are a part of this festival. What more natural? It is the time to put off the old and put on the new, to renew life, to quicken the heart, to treat the soul to spiritual exaltation. In the churches of Bismarck tomorrow, in texts on immortality, in glorified anthem, in sweetly solemn Tumblings of organ and in the medieval filter of the skies’ radiance through stained windows, the worshipers of the city will do homage to Christ. The awe-inspiring story of the resurrection will be spoken from the pul- pits. These are the religious litany of Easter. ‘They mean the spiritual uplift and regeneration of the Chris- tian world, which, like the earth, now moves on its way along an orbit of its own till the ethical miracle comes to be repeated twelve months hence in another resur- rection of nature and of the soul. ESSENCE OF GENIUS More than 200 years ago Sir Isaac Newton died. One mark of his genius was that he never seemed to have himself of being in the least different {rom the general run of mankind. Honors came to Sir Isaac in ample measure, even in his lifetime. He called them symbols of good luck or Tewards of industry and patience. Modestly, he compared himself to a boy gathering pebbles on the shore of the vast, unknown ocean of truth. But mere patient industry, that familiar infinitude of pains, does not adequately label the springs of this man’s genius. As a biographer puts it: “We must surely add in extreme measure the much | fro: sound knowledge.” ithy i F ug @efined as an infinite capacity for taking pains.

Although the Janguishes with time, as so many genial illusions like’y to do, enough of it survives to make ~ne curious what this thing called genius really is and about happens.

Thuis custom is a gracious thing, in a way, suited to a democracy. The poorest man in the country can shake the hand of the president, provided he can get to Washington. Yet, all in all, it is a very foolish custom. The presi- dent is a very busy man. and needs every bit of energy he has. He should not be obliged to shake the hands of 500 cr more strangers every day of his life. We won't quarrel with the president if he decides to discontinuc the practice. FINANCIER FORD Henry Ford amazed an interviewer in Florida by replying, when asked what he tought about the heavy speculation in the Wall Street market: “I don’t know a thing about it. I never looked at a stock quotation in my life.” This rather unexpected answer ought to be broadcast all over the land. It might serve to impress on us the fact that the real development of the country does not take place in Wall Street, and that the wheels of in- dusiry can move quite independently of that whirlpool of speculation. Henry Ford doesn’t know a thing about. stock prices, bull movements and all the rest; and if he can afford to turn his back on such things, a good many of the rest of us can do likewise. THE TOILERS “Hoarse cries, clutching, gesticulating hands, physical combat, torn clothes and disheveled hair, panting and Perspiring men who shriek and scramble—.” What is it? Is it the burning of Rome, or the fall of Troy—or, possibly, is it the first battle of Bull Run? Is it Verdun? Or a battle in Mexico's latest war? It seems tha‘ it is none of these. It is part of a sentence in a New York newspaper describing a scssion the other day in the New York stock exchange, the panting and perspiring citizens men- tioned being merely dignified and sagacious gentlemen of Wall Street in the act of making a dollar or two to keep a roof over their heads and a crust on the table. He isn’t a born conservative unless he feels apologetic when turning out a great man’s speech. | Editorial Comment | THOSE QUEER TIBETANS (Kansas City Star) So vigorous has been the protest of Tibet against its invasion by persons trying to climb Mount Everest that the government of India is considering a ban on future expeditions. The only way to climb Everest is from the Tibetian side. Tibet is isolated from the rest of the world and chooses to remain so. The opposition to foreign encroachment, which once prevailed in Japan and still prevails to some extent in China, is intensifed in the land of the Grand Lama. Until 1922 there was no telegraphic communi- cation with the outside world. In that year Lhasa was 01 with India for the transmission of official messages only. There -are no newspapers, and the 4,000,000 Tibetans know absolutely nothing about what is going on outside. Probably not over a handful ever heard of Lindbergh or moving pictures or jazz music or Herbert Hoover or Napoleon. There is no chamber of commerce to invite tourists; and if visitors do set foot in Tibet, they usually are invited to set foot outside again. Most countries would give a good deal for a mountain like Everest to attract outsiders. Tibet can’t see why anyone should want to climb a mountain unless he has to, and doesn’t intend to be bothered.

There are many instances of emin- ent men who were considered failures both physically and financially at the age of forty and yet who, through applying good rules of living, were able to become successful and famous after this age. The middle life should really be an enjoyable period, for one has the ex- perience of maturity and should have by this time overcome most of the pet- ty problems of youth. This is some- times called the dangerous age but it need not be so. Naturally, one has to be a little more careful than in youth because one does not have as great a reserve of vitality.

YOU MUST SLEEP By ALICE JUDSON PEALE “For the last three weeks Jane has not dropped off to sleep until after 10 o'clock and she never sleeps during her nap hour at all,” complained a troubled mother. “I cannot understand it. I am per- fectly firm with her. I never allow her to miss her afternoon rest and she is put to bed at night by the clock, I tell her, ‘Jane, you must sleep,’ and she knows I mean it, but she is restless and tosses about and talks to herself. I'm worried because I can see she has been losing weight and that she is nervous, but I don't see what I can possibly do about it.” No one can will himself to sleep— the more he concentrates on trying to sleep the more wakeful he becomes. When a child has for one reason or another developed the habit of sleep- lessness it does no good to command sleep; indeed, if the command to sleep is given in tones which betray worry and fear of failure on the pari of mother or nurse, it is worse than useless. The best which can be done in such instances is to see that the child is put to bed in a quiet, happy frame of j mind;. that the whole process of go- ing to bed be made thoroughly pleas- ant and reassuring. When he pro- tests that he can’t sleep, he should be told in a voice which carries no suggestion of concern, that he doesn't have to, it will do him good just to He still and rest and that sleep will surely come to him by and by. Such a course of treatment will re- lax the nervous tension in the child. He will be freed of the worry which his mother’s distress communicated to him, and before long will re-estab- lish his reputation as a good sleeper. © |.

The prince was forbidden to dance with Greta on shipboard where they met, his retinue having wirelessed the Swedish palace for instructions as to how to cope with this crisis. So here again, in real life, is the story of tragedy.

He gave up his throne for the lady of his heart. Many have condemned him, but perhaps many have applauded. And yet, whether preserving the traditions of a mon- archy by sacrifice of self is really im- portant or not, or whether the tradi- tions are not worth the sacrifice of even one individual, the fact remains that the human race is so constituted that it applauds the strength of self- sacrifice whether in a necessary cause or not, and gives the plaudits to the Sigurds rather than the Carols. It is appreciation of human strength, no matter how meee applied, *: TO SAVE US Suggestion that even such deep-dish halls of learning as Yale and Har- vard make a, course in beauty cul- ture as compulsory as chapel or one credit ‘in mathematics was pro- pounded at the recent convention of the Master Hairdressers.

[ Daily Lenten o On March 30, 1869, President John- son's impeachment trial began in the ‘Senate. Formal charges had been brought several weeks before by the House of Representatives; Johnson replied. on March 23, and sixty-one years ago today his trial began. It was the first time in the history of any nation that the chief execu- tive was placed on trial before one of the branches of the law-making | power, sitting as a court, on charges brought by the other branch. He was charged with having re- moved the secretary of state from office in violation of law, and with jhaving delivered speeches derogatory jto Congress. Thirty-five senators voted “guilty” and 19 “not guilty.” This was less than the required two- thirds, and the impeachment pro- ceedings failed. The trial climaxed a stormy admin- istration, during much of which Con- gress treated Johnson almost with contempt. Insulting references to him were frequently made on the floor of both houses. The verdict of history coincides vi the acquittal verdict, however. His errors were errors of judgment, rather than of the heart and, even so, these were not so gross as some of the errors of his enemies. Thought By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
