There was no.man made scenery to make the event of the Resurrection stand out in the lime light of history. No, foot- lights to give it vividness. stage hands--property or The risen Lord had first appeared to Mary Magdelene who told that she had been with Him as they mourned for his death. Ever and always have women been with those who mourn. The story of the Resurrection is the grandest story in all history and truly it is so if He be not risen from the dead we are of all men most miser- able. They wondered at that time who should roll the stone away from the sepulchre and who is there who has not since then wondered who should remove that which holds them now in the tomb. We are buried many times before we reach the last sepulchure, underneath the dehris of failure, des- pair and discouragement, but every day should be a resurrection day for every day finds the human heart in the tomb of doubt and despondency. You have often looked upon your physical limitatins and circumstances despairingly and wondered how they can be rolled way. . One day through a new purpose and a new resolve and -a new vision, many an one in the sepulchre discovers that they have risen on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things. _ The story of the Resurrection is not only a wonderful message but can be made applicable to the life of every individual. Everyone Does Not Enjoy The Day "There are two days in a week which I dislike and both of them are * Sunday," said someone in our office the other day. It's hard to imagine anyone not en- joying Sunday. Those who sit at machings all week or who toil and struggle for six days with business problems ofr other questions just as important look forward to Sunday with pleasure The Sabbath was made because the Creator knew that men needed that day to knit up the ravelled sleive of eare and worry. The need of rest sus- gests that you are earning your bread by the sweat of your brow. Closing the door on a week of per- plexing things. Locking it and throw- ing the key away until Monday morn- jng is something that everyone should do. Wntering into a day of rest, quiet- 'ly, peaceful and reverently, nourishes the mind and the soul, sweetens life, and renews our strength. The man who keeps Sunday, keeps himself, if he uses Sunday as he should he will find a greater use for himself. One of the greatest 'gifts ever given to man was a day of rest, and why should we not look forward to it as the day of all we love the best. The old fashioned way, of spending Sun- day is gone. Irretrievably, at least for a generation or so. But it's the quiet hours and the quiet days that soothes the restless feeling and ban- ishes worrying thoughts.

WANT MOST FOR MY HOUSE" To the Contest Editor "The Mirror, Stratford. "A Well-equipped Kitchen" Every housekeeper may find that the daily routine or domestic duties can be made less ardous, and that the responsibility of the household, with its attendant worries and incip- jent cares, can be appreciably lessen- ed by the application of a little com- mon sense and forethought in the ar- rangement of the kitchen itself. There are, of course, housekeepers "de luxe," whose homes are veritable illustrations of comfort, affluence and convenience, but the average house- keeper of today has, of recently, to make shift in greater or lesser de- gree, and it is with this average wo- man in mind that I write my opinion of "What I Want Most in My Home." As the hours of daylight are de- pendent upon the sun, so is the com- fort of the home largely dependent upon the success of the three meals a day. Rooms may be comfortable, living accommodation even luxurious, but unless the meals are properly cooked and served, no wife can be recognized as a good homemaker. The well-oiled machinery of the house- hold regime makes, or mars the har- mony of the home. Carefully prepar- | ed meals should have the benefit of all the facilities which a modern, up- to-date kitchen provides. So, with- out hesitation, I should say that a well equipped kitchen is what I and countless other 20th century wives want most for our home. Let the housekeeper who longs for a scrupulously clean, well | ordered kitchen, try to establish it in her home in the following way: First, have your kitchen well scrub- bed, and, if necessary, re-papered (preferably with a.washable tiled paper), have a Congoleum rug, or good linoleum, placed right out to the edge of the floor, have your stove in- stalled and see that all burners are working and that the stove itself is clean and well polished. Re move ali other articles from the kitchen and then stand in the doorway and size up the possibilities of the room. De- cide upon the space for your table, not too far from the stove, where the light will fall over your shoulder as you work, Place one chair and a small side table in the room, then, with your kitchen cabinet in a con- venient corner, content yourself with the fact that your kitchen is furnish- "WHAT | " ed. Next, choose window curtains of some plain material, either white or pale yellow; a collapsible clothes rack for drying dish towels may stand by the wall, and a small shelf tickets, and other occasional odds and ends should also tend towards order- liness and convenience. A wall rack for papers and a calendar will com- plete the actual furnishing and acces- sories of the kitchen proper, Buying saucepans can become an interesting game if properly indulged in. First, start by giving yourself a "kitchen shower" (about 'a dozen ar- ticles of kitchenware). Then suppose 'each Saturday you buy a pie tin or pudding dish (white enamel, of you feel you can afford it). In a few weeks you will have sufficient cook- ing utensils on hand and you will de- rive a sense of pardonable pride from the fact that they all match, and that they are all paid for. In your Spare moments hem a few extra tea towels (always have about half a dozen more than you otherwise actually require, as they are likely to all start. wearing out at the same time, so causing un- necessary outlay). A kitchen cabinet is a necessity. of the cabinet. Every housewife knows its value. No excuse fer untidy bottles and tins and paper bags! Everything should be kept in its appointed place in the kitchen cabinet, the housekeeper checking its contents over once a week for her general order list, on a pad kept for this purpose in a drawer She should see that the pantry is clean and tidy--the shelves covered with fresh papers with dishes arranged neatly, accord- ing to size. The electric vacuum, broom and ironing board should be kept in wall brackets in the pantry, and the electric iron and toaster on the bottom shelf, ready for immediate use. The refrigerator should be kept in the pantry if there is room for it, or failing an outer kitchen or cellarway, it may have to find its place in the kitchen. It should, however, always be kept free from any accumulation of articles. A bright, clean, airy kitchen, the sun shining through fresh, dainty curtains, the smell of appetizing food, the little clock on the shelf pointing to noon hour, the cheery' "Hello!" of "Himself" in' the hall, and the wel- coming smile of the proud little house- wife! "The way to a man's heart'! Un- romantic, perhaps, you will say. But-- I wonder? Peace, cleanliness, order--the de- lightful certainty of good food! What man's heart would jnot quicken a beat as he hears the noon whistle? "And so I say with pride untold, And love beyond degree, This woman with the heart of gold, She just keeps house for me." A well-equipped kitchen will ensure geod meals, comfort, and security in the happiness and well being of the average woman's little household.
