POET'S CORNER PERSONALS "FROM THE GARDEN TO THE CROSS." At the close of an evening's sunset In a land far over the sea. Silent alone knelt our Saviour In a Garden called Gethsemane. So regal He knelt there so lonely In robes royal purple and white. His hands clasped before Him so gently As the shadows lengthened the night. There was no one near Him to comfort No one a kind word to say. And He knew the morrow would bring the price Of a world's salvation to pay. What were His thoughts on the morrow As He knew of the cross He must bear. Did He ask God the cause and the wherefore And had He forgotten to care. His heart was so anguished, His soul was so torn That the birds in the trees were still. But He whispered to His Father in Heaven I am ready at thy call and Will. Softly the night it wore onward But He felt naught of the cold. For His Father above had wrapped Him In a mantle more precious than gold. Morning came and His vigil was ended A distant cock crowed in the dawn. The sun bursting forth in its splendor Shown a face that was haggard and drawn. Shown a face that was tired and both weary And the teardrops that fell from His eyes They came from a heart filled with suffering For such sinners as ye be and I. On a cross they hung Him suspended A crown of thorns they placed on His head. And when He asked for a cup of cold water They handed Him wormwood instead. Is His crucifixion so new in the telling Or do you know it in memory by heart? Do you receive a new blessing each Easter As His message to us does impart? Springtime and Easter tells us the story Of a world that was reborn anew. A story of Christ our dear Saviour Who died on the Cross just for you. So Easter doesn't mean for me Gay finery new to wear. It means a cross on Calvary's Hill And a burden I would share. Yes it means a cross and prints of nails In a precious bleeding side It means for me and for all the world Why, He was so crucified. Estelle Harmon Baldwin 1308 North Court St. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL Precious one of mine, Little girl of four. , My heart aches today As you go out the door. Little girl of mine. The world is big and wide. And my eyes are brimming over With tears I cannot hide. "But Mommy, you won't see me there." You were crying so. "I want to stay home with you Mommy, Bye Mom, bye-bye Mommy, I don't want to go." Oh, my little Desiree This is just the start. Many more doors will be opening, Please don't ever close them On your mother's heart. By Maureen M.J.

PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER- ENJOYS HAWAII TRIP Mrs. Jack (Margaret) Smith of 3814 W. Maple street, McHenry, has returned from a two-week trip to Hawaii with her sister, Mrs. Theresa Olson, of Evanston. During the memorable trip, the ladies visited four elands, enjoying temperatures which seldom dipped below 75 or rose above 84. Of special interest was a visit to Pearl Harbor. Mrs. Smith was able to bring home pineapples and a coconut which she is probably eating with more than usual enjoyment because of the unexpected touch of winter that greeted her arrival home.

PLAINDEALER PHOTO - • W i-lb O Charity Work Undertaken By Senior Citizens The Whispering Hills Senior Citizens Sewing group has been very busy this winter. Several Goodwill organizations are asking help for children in homes and nurseries. The women made a quantity of bibs for the retarded children of Wingate home in Woodstock. The H O P E, organization has asked for many things to be made. Dresses were sewed for little girls and every dress was simple but very colorful and beautiful. They were distributed among people who are poverty stricken Dresses were also sent to a day nursery in Chicago. This nursery helps parents who have children to be cared for while they are working and who do not want to be on welfare. These youngsters may have the one and only dress they are wearing so these little girls will be happy wearing a new dress for Easter. There are many other projects undertaken also. Senior Citizens of this area are active in charity work of all kinds.
