Rose Bud Sunday school is preparing for an Easter service. Some of tho canned up Sunday schools opened this quarter. Hope they will hence forward be ever green schools. Have you heard the call? ‘‘Go ye into all the nations and preach the Gospel.” Look around you. Duty is the call. In a measure we capacitate ourselves for heaven while here on earth. Then how very small heaven will be to some. It is certainly not logical that we must become the greatest sinner in order to become the greatest saint. Let us teach the children pf our schools that now in their youth is the easiest and best time for them to accept Christ and make him the pattern of their lives. Old winter is gone and the Queen of Spring is with us again. Now is the budding and seeding time. Be very careful that we sow good seed in our Sunday schools—So when the Son of Righteousness shall appear there will be an abundant harvest. As we near the time of Easter what a cloud of associations and memories are brought again to our minds. He is risen Hallelujah! gladness fills the world to-day. Lo! the grave it could not hold him. See the stone is rolled away. Spring time then to each should say, “Christ arose —He lives to-day.” To Sunday School Superintendents: Is your Sunday school at 10 o’clock? Be there at half past nine and prepare your blackboard work and be ready promptly at ten, to begin. Review your school after the day’s lesson and mark the officers and teachers on time or so manv »/ minutes tardy. Make a strong effort if you have no library to secure one at once, for the value of good books can not be estimated. Talmage said he felt like removing his hat to a book agent for he tealized that he could do more good than he ever expected to do.
