EASTER SUNDAY: Not so much unlike the Christmas season, Easter finds a Christian world in a wondrous spirit of tenderness and exaltation. Disregard the authenticity of the Resurrection, if you will, and embrace it as a myth and it will still remain the most inspiring, comforting hope that has ever come down the ages. For those in the north temperate zone Easter has the additional charm of being seasonable. As an event in the history of Christianity it is the great day of hope, new lite. the bursting forth of energy, the triumph of the spirit over the body. And so it is in the growing world of vegetation. It is especially so this year when the two events seem especially synchronised to tell the story of the resurrection und life everlasting. One can almost pardon the seeming fanaticism of the devotees of the Easter bonnet and other finery since back of it subconsciously is the impulse to exult in the advent of a new order. Obstrusion of selfishness and feverish materialism are not to be sanctioned at the expense o the heart an soul of humanity, but as a symbol of the changed order it is not without its significance. To the thoughtful the day is with out parallel. It is to them proof unbounded of life eternal, of hope inex I haustible, of promise to come. With • the sublime figure of thf Resurrection before him no mau reed despair.' It strikes off the despondency of the believer and makes him view his future with a confidence rooted in his faith und guaranteed by the event which gave to the world a new chart of life. .* » Numerous officials, whuuv bu«im >s it is to watch the industrial! cconoim-l cal and especially the agricultural ’ barometer, united in predicting a snout gratify ism measure of prosperity for Kansas this year.

Face to Face With r John D. Rockefeller The World’s Richest Man ’ (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) i j After tlie turbulence over “teapot i dome’’ oil explosions at Washington ) it was refreshing to see John Davison , Rockefeller at his home in Ormond, ( Florida, placid and serene an a sum- > mer's day. Th® man whose uafne is [ pnlemlnenUy associated with the . production and distribution of petroleum appeared in the serenity of his eighty-live years as oue who pour oil on the troubled waters. In a voice soft and low he spoke calmly in a kindly way to the protographers who had been waiting. Sitting on the sofa in his simply furnished sitting ruum his picture was taken. Then he walked about the grounds to accommodate the photographers—posing with good humor and a courteous “thank you." “You know I am past the age when I can be thought vain, but if It will help the boys, why alright," he said in his kindly way when the request that had been made on behalf of the millions of newspaper readers was granted. In the little village of Richford, New York. John Davison Rockefeller was born July 8, 1839. In 1853 he moved to Cleveland and was a clerk in a commission house. At the age of nineteen he was a partner in the firm of Clark and Rockefeller and engaged in the oil business. With Harry M Flagler as one partner he operated a refinery, and in 1879 the business was consolidated with others and made The Standard Oil Company with John D. Rockefeller in-charge of the entire ! business until bls retirement in 1911. | Some years An he told me he attributed bis prolonged life to taking up golf which compelled him to remain out of doors drinking in the sunshine and exercising in the open air. Following him on the links at Forest Hills, Cleveland, as he rode on a bicycle between the holes, making splendid drives, he kept a fat man I know of going at a lively pace. One day he stopped and ate luncheon with the workmtn — enjoying their candwlches. A more thoughtful or considerate man never lived than John D. Rockefeller. In all the strenuous days of business battles he never commanded his m«-n—he always suggested. “Now. don't you think thia would he better so and so." and it was inatantly found that his “suggestions"

Those who spoke for their eopnuun; ties talked piainly, especially those from Logansport and Peru and the « sentiment was.

were unerring decisions. One young newspaper men was a ( favorite with Rockefeller because it is said he would not notice or smile when his wig was awry. The late Join) M. Siddall, editor of the Atner- | lean Magazine won Mr. Rockefeller's , friendship as a young reporter be- ! cause of the accurate manner he reported his speeches. * Mr. Rockefeller keeps posted und knows more than he seems to know. I H® thinks straight and for him cause and effect completes the circle of a , proposition. Few men more thoroughly understand human nature in 1 its many angles. An advocate of thrift and economy, he wastes nothing—not,even words in conversation- “ There are golden hours in the sunset of life,” said Mr. Rockefeller as he wandered down the shady path, looking toward the glowing sun, in the west. , “Make the waste places blossom as i the rose." is a quotation he often ] I uses. ‘ In the sunny winter at Ormond. Florida, or amid the tonic days of spring, summer and fall in the north, John D. Rockefeller, Sr., continues to live in the open. As we left that morning he came to I the door and waved goodbye—then! prepared for another day outdoors. Rather spare in stature, brown as a I berry, he is the picture us happlnuws as Jie approaches four score and ten. With the same keen searching look, and though wrinkles have appeared, his face is kindly as he smiles. John D. Rockefeller took the initiative as the first great American philanthropist. having given away over half a billion dollars for research and education and those things be believes will permanently benefit mankind

APRIL April is the mouth that brings the showers, , The month to gather the first wild flowers. Month when the green gets back in the trees, And you feel a warmth in the passing breeze. Month when the elm puts up his tent And gpssiping crows complain of rent. » I Its the month when a boy gets tired of books, And dreams of tishworms und fishing hooks. When dog-tooth, violets and Joliny-jump-ups. Are drinking dew in their dainty cups. I When, down in the marsh the choir of frogs Is singing an anthem on moan covered logs. r Though clouds are heavy you glimps the sky On the wings of u bluebird flashing . by. i April is a maid just awakening.— A lovely lassie the world calls Spring. —A. D. Burkett. — o | Tbe People’s Voice ; A CONFESSION S I. Jacob Graber, wish to inform the people of this neighborhood, that I. some of my sons and some of my relahives, made false reports about Rev. [David Schwartz. Bishop of the ' Amish Chris’ian church." We have openly slandered him and his church with lies. We hated him above all others, but for no other reason than that he is a God fearing and faithful servant of the Lord, and teaches the truth, pure and undefiled, which we could not bear because we were very ungodly, and unjust and had our hearts filled with anger and hatred toward him. Therefore, about a year ago. we were the cause of bis arrest and punishment. but we must confess and say that our hatred and anger toward him was the only reason for our persecution of him. because we do not know [of a single thing that would put him coder any punishment. Therefore, he can joyously console himself like Stephen, when the eno■’ties of the truth could not withstand I the wsidotn and the spirit by which he spoke, (Acts 6:101. yet they ston'd him to death, (Acts 7:£>>t. Neither could we withstand tbe wisdom and the spirit by which Bish. t»p Schwartz speaks, and because We. openly and publicly, slandered and accused him; therefore, we openly j,onfe*s cur folly. (Ads 16:37), for we have committed a great sin and we are fearful lest God may not forgive ns. Therefore, we confess our evil acts toward Rev David Bchwaris and Ids church in hopes that Vie Lord may. graciously, forgive ns. i Now we realize that we were evilminded when we tc!* our stories to uu. friends, who apparently were no better than sfe. or they would not have believed us. but would have investigated the church and the truth of our statements. > Hlgned. ,1 JACOB GRABER.
