EASTER TIME, SEASON OF HOPE :

There is orobably no other holiday or holy day, not excepting
Christmas, which causes such an upsurging of hope in the thoughts
and minds of those who call themselves Christians as does the holy
season we observe this weekend. At this time we celebrate the an-

y oi the fi of man’s hopes. These hopes were
founded on a saviour who in the course of a short lifetinte, suffered
injury, and insult and eventually death. But this seeming defeat of
His Mission became the greatest Victory the World and Time has
ever known when the Resurrection that He had promised, happened.

‘And thus, all the promise which beZan with the birth of a
Christ Child, was fulfilled.

This holy time has been called Easter and is observed on the
Airst Sunday following Paschal full moon. This word “paschal”
links the old with new. testament, It“is derived from the Chaldee
word, “Pascha”, the equivalent of the Hebrew word, ‘Pesach.”.

It recalls the act of the Destroying Angel in passing over “the
households of the Hebrews when he smote the Egyptians”. ‘Thus

now given me no little cause for
concern. The number of govern-

risen steadily to somewhere in
the neighborhood of half a mil-

In fact each new government,
each new piece of legislation,
creates new pay lists.

government enterprises and acti-

publicity, these people pointed out.

For although the CPR has done very little to advertise its
Arrow Lakes boat service, their Minto has become known far and
