Battle Creek. Mich.—So many
of you will approach the Easter
with heavy hearts. When I read
this poem I thought of you and
hope it will help lighten a burden
for you. It is called. “My Little
Calvary.”
Lord, how trivial seems my
Calvary
When I consider Thine.
For only Simon helped Thee lift
Thy cross.
But many carry mine!
I ain not scorned, nor scourged,
nor ridiculed.
And all along the way
Are many sweet unnamed
Veronicas
To wipe the tears away.
I There are no cruel nail wound*
; in my hand*.
Nor thorn* upon my brow.
And ministering angel* walk
with me
To amooth the way. But Thou!
How dare I think It, call It
Calvary—
Thia sheltered life of mine—
A broken, beaten, bleeding Lord,
my God.
When I consider Thine.
—Vera Marie Tracy
Have you really noticed it la
spring? Then it ahould be spring
time in your heart, too. Moat of
you are or noon will be busy house
cleaning. Not long ago I read an
article in "Food For Thot" that
said: "... springtime is a time
to house clean out all old sor
rows and grudges, to let new Joys
and kindliness in ... It is your
time to wear a smile as candid as
your new outfit . .
...
So, isn't this a good time to
go to that friend or neighbor and
say, "I am sorry.” You will be
surprised to find he or she is more
than glad to meet you on your
own friendly basis and nine times
out of ten when you start talking
you will wonder how you could
have been so narrow as to “fall
out” with each other in the first
place. Your reunion will be a hap
py one if you are really big
enough to forgive and forget the
cause of your differences. After
this first meeting do not mention
the cause of your drifting apart
again. Be happy that you have
made up with your friend and
watch out in the future or you
may find yourself talking too
much again.

One afternoon last week I was
sitting in a friend’s home when
all at once we hear the biggest
noise outside the comer of the
house. It sounded like a huge
bomb had burst right in the yard
and hit the side of the house.
My friend and I jumped up and
hurried out doors to see what had
hit her house. As we went to the
side, we noticed people all around
us were rushing out into their
yards and some had even run into
the street and all of them were
frightened.
Later, we learned a jet plane
had broken through the sound
barrier. All I can say is that It
was a sound worse than any bolt
of lightening as it strikes. Win
dows were broken, houses shook,
dishes rattled, etc. I hope I
never hear the sound again. How
I thought of the people In the
countries that were being bombed
time and time again. And the
little children. What an awful or
deal for them to experience. Now
I understand the reason they look
so much older than their years.
Ixit us all pray there will never
be another world war.
The very next evening it was
announced over the air that there
was a threat of a tornado. The
natives remembered the awful tor
nado that hit Flint last year and
they did not feel safe until the
new came it was not going to
strike here. My sister and I had
to drive home and the rain, hail
thunder and lightning were ter
rific, not to mention the way the
wind was blowing.
For a city with a population of
75.000 we had something to talk
about for a few minutes.
