BY MARGUERITE EDWARDS On the first Easter morning Mary, the Mother, walked dm a garden. But the early sunshine and the loveliness of the spring world were hidden from the Mother, who sor- rowed for her dead, beloved son, and the singing earth was ‘to her but an enemy, holding joy and love away.

But now the spring world if revealed to her—the green glory of the new grass, the n: elous colored tapestries of flowers, the swaying dance af the trees, the symphonic music of running waters and birds all became a chorus of heavenly voices calling d to us—Life! Life! New Life—and love tri- hant and eternal——love, pure love from God to man— man to God.

In 1678, on April 20, Bacon's rebellion began. The colonists of Virginia were being constantly harassed by the hostile Indian bands, who descended on their settlements to plunder and murder, The people asked Governor Berkeley to allow them to form a guard led by Nathaniel Bacon, a young planter, for the defense of their homes. Berkeley refused, calling the request a presumption on the part of the common people. In defiance of the governor's order, the vol- unteery set out under Bacon against the Indians, Bacon was declared mw traitor, and ordered to be executed for hia insubordination, but he fell ill of a fever, and died during the expedition. On April 20, 1897, the legislature of Massachusetts created, a state board of education. Horace Mann was the originator of the bill and was clected secre tary of the new board.

The flower fades, the green herb withers, beauty passes and youth is gone tomorrow. “In the midst of life we are in death,” says the preacher, “All flesh is g¢ cries the prophet. “Eat, drink and be merry,” shouts the fool in his cups, “for tomorrow we die.” This is all true enough, for death is a part of life. It is just as natural to die as it is to be born, But there another element in life which is quite as fixed, as sure and per- petual as death. It is resurrection. This wonderful old earth has been spin- ning along for a good many thousand years. And it will be as green this spring as it was on the first of May morning when Cain and Abel frolicked on the green of paradise Lovers are sighing now in Chicago just as they did in the Athens of Pericles.
