The Easter season is the most significant date in the calendar of the church, indeed in the calendar of the World. even Christmas yield- ing second place to it. It commemorates the dividing line in history between progress and reaction, and makes the point at which mankind began to grope painstakingly through the darkness toward that goal of an ideal civil- ization which is still so far distant. but infinitely nearer than on that first Easter almost two thousand years ago. Good Friday had provided one of the darkest pages in the history of man. It had seen the terrible sight of one of the high tribunals of colonial Rome trembling be& fore the fury of the Sanhcdran and the Jewish mob. It had heard the most remarkable pronouncement in the an- nals of jurisprudenceâ€"’21 verdict of not guilty followed by an immediate sentence of death. It had seen the wonderâ€" ful personality and the splendid virile manhood of Jesus Christ stilled in physical death and had heard the tragic cry of triumph: “It is finished!” Friday's setting sun shone on an upraised cross on Calvary but as that sun rose on Sunday it shone upon an empty tomb in which all the legions of Imperial Rome had been unable to hold the intended victim of their intoler- ance. Before that grave the military power of all auto- cracy gnashed their teeth in impotence. while in the garden one who had been a simple Galilean peasant spoke simple words to a faithful woman. . Twenty centuries have passed since the martvrdom of Christ before Pontius Pilate; and today the followers of the carpenter of Na7areth are numbered in their tens of millions. Twenty centuries ago the scourings of Jerusa- lem cried “Crucify Him!” Today the verdict of humanity rolls back the answer: “Behold the Man.” **#****** PROTECTION FOR PEDESTRIANS Inquests concerning two fatalities on Yonge Street were held last- week and three persons are now in the hos- pital suffering injuries receiVed when struck by cars on this highway, which tragically emphasizes the need for some provision for the safety of pedestrians. The number of accidents is evidence of the great risk which a pedes- trian takes when walking on Yonge Street, and this risk is much greater at night. , In addition to the many accidents and fatalities we ,are quite safe in saying that there is hardly a motorist 'who has driven a car on Yonge Street for five years or more, but has at some time or other narrowly missed hitt- ing a pedestrian. The accident toll on this highway has been too great, and something should be done at once to improve conditions. The fault does not all lie with either the pedestrian or the motorist. Sometimes glaring headlights have blind- ed the car driver and in other instances when visibility was poor the driver has been unable to see the pedestrian until it has been too late to avoid the accident. 0n the other hand in a district such as this there is sure to be a con- siderable number of pedestrians, and in many places there is no place to walk except on the highway. To anyone who has used Yonge Street either as a motorist or pedes- trian the wonder is that there have not been more fatali- ties. The danger hazard on Yonge Street must not con- tinue indefinitely. The only solution is the provision of adequate sidewalks for pedestrians and such sidewalks must be kept clear of snow and fit for use at all seasons of the year. In any plans for Yonge Street improvement the provision of adequate sidewalks for pedestrians is an absolute necessity in the interests of the preservation of life and limb. 3#*****#$ IT SEEMS SUCH A SIMPLE THING (By Bert Barnes in “Shining Lines”) “Courtesy seems such a simple thing! Yet there are those who must think it isn’t worth while, for they don’t practice it. They neglect the little acts that make the world a better plaCe to live in. Strangely enough they don’t seem to realize that they are denying to themselves certain, definite benefits to be gained from the practice of courtesy. Courtesy is a mark of good breeding. It commands respect. It is the polish that welcomes the customer, cheers the fellow-worker and makes the day easier for everyone. Courtesy is a recognition of the rights of others. It is what we all want for ourselves. To be courteous, therefore, is to practice the Golden Rule. To be discourteous is to be brutalâ€"selfâ€"centredâ€" intolerant. There ib no surer way of annoying people. Discourtesy breeds scowls and grouches, promotes misun- derstanding, SOWS discord. It is one of the ingredients of failure. 0n the other hand, the desire to be courteous cultivates a cheerful, beaming personality and radiates good will. Increasing one’s stock of courtesy towards others in- creases one’s own stock of happiness. I'- * Â¥ # 1 fi * t * WHEN THINGS HAPPEN There is nothing that is more welcome to a neWSpaper office than the friendly subscriber who sends in a bit of neWS, either by phoning, by letter, or by dropping in the office. That is real goodwill and co-operation. _ People come and go throughout the community, bring- ing a pleasant little ripple in social life, but too often no one troubles to notify the local newspaper. Yet these little items are appreciated by the office, and read by evâ€" erybody. They are not of great importance, but they are part of the fabric of our living. It is impossible for a small newspaper staff to cover adequately any district without a little volunteer help. And “The Liberal” takes this opportunity to acknowledge appreciativolv the many volunteers scattered here and there who say to themselves. “Perhaps “The Liberal” would like to know about that.” Whereupon they act. We thank those many good friends of the community who are kind enough to notify us “when things happen.” They are not only assisting us but are helping to build up an attractive picture for our outside readers. May their number increase! 'to he held in the I\'c\vtonlvi'ov‘lk Unit- i present.

An Easter solo ‘Christ Arose’ was very beautifully rendered by Mrs. Frank MacFarlane. Mrs. Mur- ray gave a very fine review of our Study Book, on “Stories that must be Retold.” There were many very touching indidents which made us» realize more than ever that we must do our utmost in giving. and our prayers to help these unfortunate people. Mrs. Murray concluded her review with this lovely little poem: Christ has no hands but our hands To do his work to-day; He has no feet but our feet To lead men in His way. He has re tongue but our tongues To tell 1n-n,hov.' He d‘cri. He has no help but our lulp, To bring them to His side. At the cl-os.e of the mf‘fting’ re- freshments were served.

No. 2 ' SHORT‘SIGHTEDN ESS There are people whom one meets ,in every day life who have never freally learned to see. These people are apparently content with their :own restricted sphere of vision, tot- ally unaware of the beauty of the world round about them. To them, distant vistas and horizons are a mere blur and beautiful views are only a. figment of a poet’s imagin- ation. l Eight per cent of children between ,the ages of 5 and 10 years are near- lsightedsthat is, they do not see per- fectly in the distance. Very often ilittle Johnny is backward at school and accused of being stupid when in reality he may be a potential Ein- stein. All he needs is a correct pair of glasses so that he can see the blackboard properly. Sometimes when considerable close ‘ work is done during- the growing per- liod of childhood, the eyes bend to lbecome more and more near-sighted. ‘until distance vision is greatly re- lstricted and a very dangerous stage is reached when useful vision is re- :duced' and permanent damage may 'be done. As soon as any tendency .toward this condition is observed, all lclose work should be stopped imme- . l diatcly. Near-sighted people invariably like to do the things that harm their leycs most. Children whOSe distance vision is not as good as their play- mates often are not so adept. in ath- letics, particularly outdoor pursuits. 2 Tablespoonfuli of flour 2 Cupfuls of milk Salt and pepper to taste Remove the skin and bones from the fish and cut into small pieces.
