The old glad hymn of John of Damascus, put into English by Dr. Neale, expresses rapturously the joy of the Christian in re- calling the resurrection of Christ and in dwelling on the tremendous meaning of that wonderful event. In the hymn : is sounded the triumph of the risen Lord over sin and death. There is also emphasized the exultant conviction that Christ overcame death not only for himself but for all believers forevermore; that the sting of death and the victory of the grave were by His resurrection rendered powerless until the end of the world. Easter The Day of Resurrection ; Earth! tell it out abroad! The Passover of Gladness! The Passover of God! From death to life eternal-- From this world to the sky, Our Christ has brought us over, With hymns of victory. Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth her song begin! Let the round world keep triumph, And all that is therein; Invisible and visible Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our Joy that hath no end. Every one knows what a mother gives to her children--time, energy, her very heart's blood. But what does every mother like to get? Does she What a Mother like to have her chil- dren sacrifice for her? Wants We think not. What she likes most, as we see it, is an expression of love now and then from those she loves most. Here is a letter received from a son by his mother on her birthday. Have you any doubt that she treasures the original? "Dear Mother: "I find today is the day one of the world's greatest persons was born on, and that per- son is you. "lI want to congratulate you, and pray that you have a good many more such oc- casions. "I sincerely regret not being able to be with you today, but as I may not be there in body, I'm always with you in spirit. The least that I shall do is to thank God that you are here on earth with us, so don't for- get to write once in awhile. "God bless you on this day and be with you always." WINNETKA TALK April 16, 1927 April is the month of changeable weather. Especially on the north shore. These changes depend mostly on the wind. When the wind blows from the April north or east, the weather is raw and chilly. When it Weather blows from the west or south, the weather is very likely to be surprisingly comfortable, often decidedly delightful. But the wind may change the next day and the mercury drop 30 degrees. The office holders finds April very change- able. Today he is firmly seated in the sad- dle. Tomorrow the electorate shies, and he is rudely unseated. In one brief April day another man is shifted from the dimness of private life into the glare of public office. The current season is drawing to a close. Soon there will be no more symphony con- certs, no more recitals--until next fall Social events are becom- End of the ing less frequent. Many schools will close for the Season summer. As for the grand opera birds, they flew long since. What shall we do with whatever spare time we have? How shall we spend our evenings, whatever few hours we have to spend? Well, after the end of the season we'll have a little time every day to do those things that we've left undone. How about making those bookcases, the makings of which have been standing around ever since February? 'Then there's that scrapbook you were going to put together as soon as vou got the time. And are you up on your correspondence? There's that letter you were going to write to your poor old uncle in Pennsylvania. You said that in your very first spare time you were going to begin the study of typewriting. Why not begin now? More- over, now is a good time to begin the read- ing of those books that have been standing unread on your shelves since last Christmas. Do something profitable with whatever spare time you may have. What have the citizens of any community a right to expect of those whom they elect? When a person announces his candidacy for a certain office what does he promise to do if elect- What May ed? Even if an office 1s Be Expected? unremunerative, each citi- zen has a right to expect some things of an office holder. He may justly expect that the president and trustees of his village will run civic af- fairs as well as a good business is run. Materials will be bought as at low a price as possible consistent with good quality. Clerks, janitors, etc., will be required to give efficient service and will be paid fair wages. Streets and alleys will be kept up to the standard demanded by traffic. The citizens may also rightly expect that the officials will be persistently diligent in the discharge of their duties. There may be some unpaid officials--we never have known of any such in north shore towns-- who feel that they may slight work on the ground that they receive no compensation. Such a feeling indicates a fundamentally wrong attitude. It might also be said in closing that those who are elected have a right to expect that their fellow citizens will give them friendly encouragement and criticism. » SHORE LINES Chanson d'Avril April's eyes are full ol sorrow For she weeps today, But her mood may change tomorrow To a smile all gay. % = uid There's a tear in all her laughter And her eyes are dim, But the sunshine follows after This dark mood she's in. Down her cheeks the tears are streaming. Is she really sad? ; Oh! I think I must be dreaming, Now she seems so glad.

EXILE LL LL E Whose Vote, One Wonders : "Der Tag," insofar as Alva Lee Adams, Win- netka druggist, is concerned, was Tuesday, April 5, on which day he won the Brown derby at the Greater Chicago Rotary song contest and was accorded one vote for the office of Marshal-Col- lector at Winnetka. EXTER EE LES Being well-nigh overcome with concern relative to the outcome of Wilmette's approaching Battle of the Ballots, we took time off Tuesday afternoon to spend a few soothing hours amidst the peace- ful surroundings of Cubs' Park. .Other notables in the great Wrigley skyscraper stadium that day were Give em Hell Thompson and Squire Landis, also guests of Bill Gum Wrigley. Bb db RR Forty-two thousand howling citizens provided com- plete surcease, last Tuesday, from the strenuous Wil- mette Battle for Ballots. All the expletives we feign would cast at some of the local candidates were very nicely absorbed by the gangster trio, sometimes re- ferred to as arbiters. --MIQUE. bn TH
