The storm king seems to be ruling in Indiana this spring. Within the past three days two severe windstorms have caused more damage than the total in many previous years. Wow, some Easter! And now it has to rain for seven Sundays.

Every day is a new beginning, Every morn is the world made anew; Ye who are weary of sorrow and sin ning. Here is a beautiful hope for you— A hope for me and a hope for you. All the past things are past and over, The tasks are done and the tears are shed; Yesterday's erros let yesterday cover, Yesterday's wounds which smarted and bled Are healed with the healing which ■ night has shed. tevery day is a. fresh beginning; Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain, And -spite of old sorrow and older sin- , ning, And puzzles forecasted and possible pain, Take heart with the day and begin again. Only the new days are our own, Today is ours, and today alone. —Susan Coolldge. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Porter had as their guests over Easter, Mr. and Mrs. H. H.
