Chicopee Falls, Mass., U. S. A.
Easter was celebrated Sunday
night at, the Methodist church by
a special service and program for
the occasion and was well attended
and satisfactory, judging from the
many favorable comments heard.
The climax of the joyous occas
ion was reached in the song, Hap
py happy Easter times, by several
small children, which seemed to
captivate the audience at once. The
scripture lesson by Mr. Hailey,
the address by Rev. A. C. Cloyes
and the Easter hymns so effective
ly rendered by the choij were a
part of the program enjoyed by
all. The children did so well
that it would seem invidious to
attempt to give special recognition
to the many excellent features.
It would show a lamentable lack
of appreciation not to recognize
and acknowledge the faithful and
efficient work of the committee in
charge of the preparations for the
service, Mesdames Cloyes, Fakes,
and Morgan, and Miss Blanche
Underhill.

Our blacksmith, Mr. Sader, is

M. H. Albritton’s and Freeman’s.
All report a good time.
The farmers sold their cotton
seed last fall at from nine to
twelve dollars per ton and are
now paying from fifteen to twenty
dollars for seed. When will they
learn to work and save for their
own interests! There is no ex
cuse for this way of doing busi
ness. Any farmer can save his
seed, raise his corn and meat,
whereby keeping out of debt and
making his account much less.

SINCE PAPA HAS OONE.
Father, Oh Father! How lonesome are we
Siuce you have crossed the cold dark sea.
How we miss your sweet face, no one can tell
Until they have experienced the same sad spell.
How, Oh bow! we long to see your sweet smile
Harkening and beckoning each sad child,
But tojII we know now it is in vain
For God has called thy precious name.
But Father, Oh! the sad tears blind
To think that we are left behind
And that with you we cannot be
Until we cross the eold dark sea.
But we know now we must do His will
So we a place in Heaven can fill.
For we know His children must obey
If they want to see that bright day.
Oh! Happy day, when we shall be
Across that dark and stormy sea,
For well we know, God will lend a hand
To help us join that happy band.
Oh! Happy day that, that will be
When we have crossed the cold dark sea,
And there with Christ forever reign
The Holy, Righteous, Loving King.

We never have more than we
can bear. The present hour we
are always able to endure. As
our day, so is our strength. If
the trials of many years were
gathered into one, they would
overwhelm us: therefore, in pity
to our little strength, He sends
first one, then another, then re
moves both, and lays a third,
heavier, perhaps, than either: but
all is so wisely measured to our
strength that the bruised weed is
never broken. We do not look
enough at our trials in this contin
uous and successive view. Each
one is sent to teach us something,
and altogether they have a lesson
which is beyond the power of any
to teach alone.
No reward comes 'to him who
robs himself of what he needs to sus
tain life and health, or what is
needed to care for his own, merely
to give to those who ask. No man
has a right to give what is not ful
ly his own; no right to give away
any time that belongs to another,
to create poverty in order to re
lieve poverty: to lose the respect
of his home ones, or to do what
will weaken their faith in him as a
provider and protector.
Man’s duty is to God, and he
discharges the duty when he is
true to the family that is the re
sult of his making and begetting.
Men err by with-holding when
they have means to spare as well
as not, and they err by giving
heedlessly to the endless asking of
those whose great aim in life is to
attach themselves to those inclined
to charity. Help those who are in
sickness, in trouble and distress, if
you can do so without robbing
your creditors, yourself or your
family. Be just, and then be
generous. To give wisely is an
art, to give well is to give success
fully. To provide employment is
even humane and wise, but you
should give it or find it to those
who try to deserve such assistance,
not to those who are lazy, dirty,
shiftless, careless and indifferent
to your success. Let those who
will not try to come up just a little
higher, with your help, remain
where they are, except you are able
to give.
No man has a right to walk de
liberately into poverty in order to
prove his manhood a disposition to
humanity. This is not the way to
help mankind, or to serve your
country. When a man is stricken
down, then help him if you can,
but do not encourage him to fall
again and to keep on falling sim
ply to be helped. Do not be a
miser, nor yet a spendthrift. Do
not be selfish, but be careful to
preserve your own health, means
and ability to help those who will
be with us tomorrow, as well as to
dav.
