Easter makes its strongest appeal to the soul ride of us Coming as it does on the first day of the week, when the busy world is reatlng, there is time to think of the higher side of life, to ponder on the deeper meaning of things that be. What means this joyousness of the season that Is fell by all, if unexpress ed? Is it not reviving hope; a hope to brighten the dreariest, most displr Ited man or woman? Did not man believe in a hercaftor, a future when wrongs will be right ed and sorrows turn to Joy, the world would have slopped trying long ago.

The grocer man, he puts his trust In men who are not wholly just, for they sell eggs the whole year round and often in deceit arc found, because they keep the eggs on ice until there is a raise in price.

Do as you please, but it is best to act. perhaps, as I suggest.

Old blasters mav have painted me in some forgot en century and left me in some cherished hoard—some ware house where fresh eggs are stored—and it might fill you with regret if you should heed me not and let your appetite for works of art g-iin headway o'er your mi.;d and heart. O, listen, listen, let me beg—i am a simple Easter egg, bedaubed with paint and drowned in dyes, but let me beg ol you: Be wise I How often do we weep to see things not what they're cracked up to bel Remember, I have made no claims—I leave the dealers all such games; I may bo but a cheat and sham, but I am only what I am.

How much farth er reaching in its effects for ill is a hopelessness that this rough earthly path leads to eternal life. Are we discouraged today?

Are we bowed under i_ weight of Illness, of morbid dread of the future, that will not lift? Let the joyous message of the Eas tertide bring healing Hope is t*ing voiced on every side today, in the swelling notes of the organ, in the searing voices of choir and chorister, in the Inspiring message that is pnx claimed from every Christian pulpit in the land. It but remains for us to reach not for that hope and make it our own, to loosen the sordid, de pressing earth cords that have us tightly bound. ~ a The Joyousness of Easter. Alas, for the woman who cannot feel it; who la not lifted out of herself today. What though the old gloom returns? Is it not something to have stood on the heights and sung aloud with the Joy of living; to have seen the sun piercing the clouds, to have caught a glimpse of the radiance beyond? Nev or again will the blackness bo so dense, for Is there not the hope of that joyous day when the sunlit heights will be ours, to Inspire ua to keep on climbing. I>et us not be content to keep the season's joy In our hearts.

Storms Ahead in Extra Session of Congress, There Being Virtually Four Parties, Each With Large Representation, Working Very Much at Odds. Washington.—It is daily becoming manifest that congress ia facing stormy session, and there can be forecast of the probabilities. The fact that both of the great po litical parties are divided is longer denied, and the leaders appear to have liule hope of restoring than surface harmony. There are virtually four each with a a no no more parties, large representation, working at odds, in the present ses sion. The Republican minority of the house Is divided between regulars and insurgents, as was evidenced by the vote the speakership contest. The breach between these two fac tions is even wider in the Republican on of the senate. A sharp line has been drawn tween tlle conservative Democrats of the scaate . *ho are opposed to any attempt at dictation by William J. Bryan, and the progressive crats including practically all the new members and several veterans like Senator Stone of Missouri, who Bryan adherents. The house Demo cratic majority seems to caped a break, but the leaders fear the party contest in the senate at any time spread to the other branch. The situation has Interfered with the selection of committees and the beginning of legislative work. Possibly there never has been congress where so much uncertainty existed and where the uneasiness has been so equally distributed between the two major political parties. Of course this is due in part to the fact that in the present congress the Dem ocrats are in power in the house and the Republicans are in control of the senate. be Demo are hav'e may a The real cause of the anxiety is be lieved to be the proximity of the party conventions which will select * the standard bearers for 1912, and tho knowledge that a slip by either In tho extraordinary session of the regular session may determine the result of the next national campaign.
