We remembered that she was always as ready to defend as to condemn, and that past performance was only one factor in the formulation of her decision. The important thing was the present situation. We figâ€" ured that even though her expression of opinion by itself might be only one factor in making up the minds of the residents of the district, that opinion would be sound and based on facts We figured "her side" would win. * The District 108 school election is history now, but to us, as an observer, it proved a point.

The divine power behind Easter alone can inspire us to surâ€" mount our lust for the things of this world. The might of God alone can convert our skepticism into faith. A miracle akin to the Savâ€" jor‘s resurrection alone can lift us above the taste for culture.
