Show THE SALINA SUN, SAUNA. UTAH TWO CRUISERS ! News Notes Live Its a Privilege in to j Utah AMERICANS CONTINE TO EVACUATE OVER WEEK END; ARMADA STRON.Q Salt Lake Shanghai With the evacuation of Americans still remaining In various sections of China continuing over the the United States cruisers , arrived Richmond and Marblehead here Sunday, reinforcing the American naval armada already In Chinese waters. The cruiser Cincinnati is expected soon. Her arrival will complete the concentration at Shanghai of the American third light cruiser division, which will be the most modern naval unit in Chinese waters. The division Is under the command of Rear Admiral John R. Y. Blakeley. The cruisers will be held temporarily at Shanghai awaiting a decision for their employment. Asserting that militarism, brigandage and bolshevism have destroyed all semblance of law and order in most of China, the American Chamber of Commerce issued a statement In which the belief Is expressed that Immediate, concerted action of the powers to restore the security of foreign lives and property at the treaty ports and to recover all foreign properties destroyed or confiscated will have a Influence throughout China and be of ultimate benefit to the Chinese. ASTER SUNDAY tills year falls on April 17. Last year It was April 4 and the year before. It was April 12. Next year It will fall on April 8. As everybody knows It Is a variable date, sometimes falling In March and sometimes In April, but under the present method of reckoning the Easter Sunday date, It cannot come earlier than March 22 nor Inter than April 25. For the reason that Easter Sunday Is a variable dnte, It therefore does not have the significance as a red letter date on American calendars that other dates, such as New Yeurs day, Christmas day, Independence day, Washingtons birthday and Lincolns birthday, have. In this relation It Is more like Thanksgiving day or Labor day In being always a certain day of tha week, but varying as to the day of the month. More Important, of course, than its significance r as a day on our calendars Is the Inherent significance of the day Itself. To the Christian world It Is the anniversary of the resurrection of Jesus Chrls't. But that does not mean that the essential spirit of Euster means something to one part of humanity, set off from the rest by a religious classification, and means nothing to the rest of the humnn raco. For Easter has a significance to all humankind and the keynote of that significance Is the one word "resurrection." Look at the word Itself Easter. It Is derived from the word East, and East is one of the four cardinal po'nts. It is also the cardinal point which haa always been most Important In all religious ceremonies of all races end creeds. This Is because It Is the part of the heavens where the sun Is seen to rise the sun, brlnger of light and beat, the very giver of life itself I The most primitive Intelligence of the most primitive man recognized the fact that the sun and life were Inseparably associated and U was only natural that when he came to worship the thing which was greater than he, ho should turn to the East whence caiue that greater and higher thing which he recognized as being the power. So each diiy was to him a cycle of a whole lifetime. In the morning as the sun came up, life came Into being. As the sun mounted In the heavens life grew In Its lusty youth nnd Increased In power. At Its zenith, life, too, was at Its highest point. As the sun declined, so life declined into old age. Into weakness, until there came darkness, the synonym for death. After a period of darkness, life came again. There was a resurrection e end once more, the cycle of a compressed Into 24 hours, there was life I And that, 'stripped of all the tradition, myth, legend, custom and social practice that has attached Itself to Easter, Is the spirit and the message of Easter, all concentrated In the one word "resurrection." So Easter has a significance that no other day on our calendars has and that significance Is the significance of one of the fundamental and inevttablo facts of existence. It Is conceivable that all other days may be abolished from our calendars, tiat the calendar Itself may be done away with. But, no matter what may happen, so long as human life exists on this earth, the spirit of Easter will survive. When It ends, then ends all hope for mankind, all reason for mankinds struggle to Ninety-Sevent- llfe-tlm- red-lett- red-lett- exist If resurrection" Is the the spirit and the message of Easter, then the Inmost essence of that spirit can be summed up In the one word "immortality." If man can find un answer to the old, old question that has troubled him through the ages, the question "Does death end allf ho can e find It In the message of Easter. It Is that the struggle to live Is worth while and that he does not face a hopeless task. Even If he did not have the comfort of his religion to help him arrive at that belief, he finds It In the mere fact of living. Each day, each year and each lifetime he tees the cyclo repeated. The sun comes up In the morning and goes down Into darkness at night But he knows that It will come up again the next morning. Each 24 hours he sees the miracle of resurrection. New life Is manifest In the animal and vegetable ktngdoius with each recurring spring. It ripens In the heat of summertime nnd mellows Into maturity !u the autumn, only to die in the cold of winter. But he knows that life will begin agutnst next spring. Each 12 months he sees the miracle of resurrection. A baby Is bora, passes through childhood, grows Into youth, reaches mans estate and then declines into old age. What If the darkness of death Is only a matter of a few years away? He has seen the recurring ml rsole of resurrection very 24 hours and every 12 months. Why should not man, reasoning logically from this evidence of which be Is aware every day ef hie llfa, believe reas-anranc- Conference Glen, It Is said. Production of cherries In Provo Utah has been increasing steadily the last ten years.

Perhaps It would be more accurate to say he chooses to believe. For few men, If any, ; have ever Bolved the riddle of life to their utter satisfaction. They constantly grope for the truth, seeking, always seeking, the answer to the unsolved problems of life. Tlih.v have the never-endin- g longing In their hearts for everlasting life and they choose to believe, und take comfort from the belief, that they shall have It. So whether he be primitive man or modern, civilized man, whether ho be Christian or heathen, the essential spirit of Easter, the message of Easter Is the same It Is a raessnge of hope, a message of Joy and a promise and a fulfillment In one. That message Is delivered to man In many 'forms. It comes to him In the riot of bird songs which greet the sun on every morning In spring. It comes to him In the greenness of the grass, In the swelling buds on the trees, lu the flowers which push their way up through the earth when the warming touch of the sun Is laid upon It. It conies to him In the softness of the blue sky. In the fleecy clouds floating above him and In the gentle caress of the breezes that touch his face as he goes forth to start each days work. It comes to him, too, as he watches young animal life about him lambs, calves and cplts wabbling about unsteadily at first und then, as they gain strength, running around In those funny, awk-- ' d little Jumps which are always ward, so fascinating to watch. It comes to him every minute of the day as Nature, In all her forms, cries out exnltlngly "Spring has come! Spring has come!" Even If she did not tell him In those words, he would know It himself In the surge of new strength lu his own body, In the quickening of his blood after Its winter sluggishness. As he hears the call of spring and the message of Easter he feels the desire to pass the message along, lie passes It along In as many wnys as It comes to him In the happy note In his voice as he greets his friends, in the little snatches of song width he finds hlinself singing and In the effort which' he makes constantly to put that message Into words. One of those efforts takes the form of writing subject poetry. Even though the spring poet Is for many of our stock Jokes, the fact remains that the urge to write poetry Is a part of man's effort to pass along the message of spring. For all spring poetry Is fundamentally an effort to express the feeling of resurrected life. And Easter, which represents the crystallized spirit of spring, probably brings forth more attempts st poetic expression and perhaps more real poetry than any other day on our calendnr. Though the theme of all the Easter poems may vary, through them all runs the thread of rejole-lug- . rejoicing In the return of new life t tlje flelds end woods, rejoicing In the new hope that springs up In human hearts at the coming of the springtime and more especially at the thought that Easter means the promise of life everlasting.

The theme was taken up by other speakers and stressed throughout the day, special emphasis being placed upon the claim that, while other churches are being torn by discussions on the divinity of Christ, the members of the L. D. S. church stand solid in their testimony that Christ was the Son of the living God. In the opening address of the afternoon session, Charles W. Nibley, second counselor in the first, presidency of the church, scoffed at the Idea advanced by some sectarian writers to the effect that the L. D. S. church is crumbling and that its members will embrace the other faiths. He asked what the other churches have to offer, and declared that he had no ill will toward the other orgnaizations, and no bad feelings, but that he felt sorry for them and wished to help them. red-lette- life-givin- g h in- exporting their product to foreign markets, a meeting of individual growers and representatives of various state associations and chambers of commerce will be held Saturday at the Sait Lake chamber of commerce.
