again and start all over. — Next time we may have to start from scratch. The road is not without darkness, the path is not without false turns, the answers are not simple, long life and happiness are not promised; but do not crack under the pressure, do not give in under the strain, for all Creation is God’s and God is good and God is all-powerful. We have buttressed our unbelief with all the little arguments we could master, and we have emphasized the lack of scientific data, when all the Resurrection asserts is that the God we know in Christ — the God of utter self-giving love — that that God is God, that he and he alone is the final and complete power and that the best we know in all experience, love, is the everlasting victor. His love that conquered death in the Resurrection. IF EASTER BE NOT TRUE If Easter be not true, 'Twere foolishness the cross to bear; He died in vain who suffered there; What matter though we laugh or cry, Be good or evil, live or die, If Easter be not true? —H. H. Barstow. ARPAD GEORGE: — NOTICE — The Board of Directors will hold their regular spring meeting on April 3rd, Monday at 9:30 A.M., in the Kossuth House building in Washington, D. C.
