Festival ,0! Ilene

Easter Day proclaims the triumph of life. The first Easter scene is itself the best commentary on the majestic message announced from the angel's lips: "He is not here. He is risen." The miracle of the Resurrection is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Our spirits are stirred by the renewal of the hope of mankind, just as nature is stirred by the fevlving strength of the sun. And while the anniversary is of universal significance, it is also, like all Christian festivals, intensely personal in its meaning. It must be felt and exper- ienced individually.

Easter is traditionally the time for new apparel,-which, for so many people, gives a lift of spirit and a renewal of self esteem. For the children, it is an occasion of many pleasant customs. There is a spirit of goodwill and happiness in the atmosphere, carrying the foretaste of spring.

Easter is also a time of music. In the churches, choxisters will sing some of the loveliest music ever written, touching chords in responsive hearts and enhancing the meaning of the scriptural text and the words of the preacher. Devout praise and thanksgiving will be the order of the day. The whole Christian world will rejoice in the fact that Christ is risen!

A lllortlly cause

Among the worthicst institutions in the Province is the Charlottetown Hospital. which had its busiest season last year, with 122 additional beds in the new Pavilion being occupied practically all the time. Reconstruction of the old wing, now almost completed, will give larger service areas to the laboratories, pharmacy, and 'central supply rooms on the second floor. Three large operating rooms and recovery rooms. with other auxiliary services on the third floor, are also about ready for use. On the first floor the X-ray rooms have been enlarged and the equipment renewed. A completely new deep X-ray therapy ma- chine has been in service for the past nine months; a new cystoscopic room is conveniently located adjacent to the X-ray department.

The value of services of this kind to the community need scarcely be emphas- ized. It is important, however, to remem- ber that the Hospital depends upon public

support, and one of the means of ex- pressing practical appreciation of the work accomplished and under way is by patron- r izing the entertainments put on from time to time in aid of the institution. The East- or Monday play, "The Charming Intruder," which is being presented by the St. Char- les Auxiliary Society, is a case in point. The afternoon and evening performances will be given by a talented local cast, un- der the veteran direction of Mr. J. Austin Tralnor, C.D.A., who is rounding out fifty years in various lines of show business. There will be specialties between the acts, making a well-balanced programme of en- tertainmcnt. It is hoped that, as in other years, the attendance will be large at both pcrfornranccs.

- Land Titles

This Province has no provision for the registry of title of land as distinct from the registry of deeds with the consequence that prospective purchasers must invest- igate titlc back to the original Crown - grant, which involves a long and expensive

search, -or take the risk of making no search or a partial one which may result in loss of the investment or unexpected trouble and expense in correcting flaws in the title. . A step is being made at the present . session, with the introduction of ' "The Quietlng Titles Act" to eventually remedy the situation. Title or ownership may be registered wider the Act to the yery great advantage of both the owner and prospect- , 0-lvc purchaser or lender. Tire cost of orig- .. l,nIlgl!zlhl:l'otlon will be. of course, fairly lrlghd The court must be fully satisfied

Congratulations 'to the Hon. Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan, O.B.E., dean of the Legis- lature, who today celebrates his seventietlr birthday anniversary. With the exception of one four-year period, Dr. MacMillan.has represented Charlottetown continuously in the House since 1923, and in that time has served as the Provlnce's first Minister of Health and Education, as Premier, and as leader of the Opposition. A high com- pliment to his public career was paid dur- ing the present session by Premier Jones, who expressed the hope that Dr. MacMll- lan would continue to occupy his seat for years to come. His friends, who are legion in both parties, will heartily indorse the sentiment on this occasion.

EASTER MORNING

Sirrwe see some wonderful firings in the Scriptures, such as. man made in God's l1'nagc,imnn's fall, the Messiah promised, God in human flesh. dvwe-ll.in-g among us. The conflict between good and cvil, coming to its highest al- titude on Ca-lvnry's cross. but the victorious Christ conquering death for us is the wonder of wonders. We see the stone rolled away. the empty grave, the angel in wlme. Mary Magdalene saw two angels. She loved more and saw more.

We should see the door open for us, to the Sopirlt. world. No death, just 9. t. sit-ion. Man is im- mortal. I wish to.llve on and on, a small part of the "so great a cloud of wl-tn-esses", who watch how the church militant carries the borvcfr. The early Christians cric- brated Easter every week. Every "first day of the week". or Lord's day, was a reminder of the risen living Christ-to them I matter of supreme importance. They met for prayer, fclllowshtp and break- ing of bread.

To get enllhussd over this, we would need to give material things ll. second placc.- And as Jesus said. deny self, take up our cross daily and follow Him. The fLrst step is to be a follower, next I dccllple or learner, than a servant and after that a friend. We are then carrying our cross, whether taken up in a voluntary way, or simply bearing patiently what is laid upon us. Both lend to victory, and faith to believe l-lis words-wlrem I am there shall my servant be.

PRINCE EDWARD BATTERY

Sir, - There has been uncertainty as to the exact date of the enn- atruction of Prince Edward Battery. now lmown cs Fort Edward in Victoria Park.

The original Battery wu prob- ably constructed between 1794 and 1196 on direction of Edward Duke of Kent. then Commander-in-Chief ln America, along with other de- fence works for the protection of the part, but It the foot of what is now Grant George street, on or immediately cut of the site of the building now owned by the Assoc- iated Shippers.

In on effort to arrive at the exact dcto of the construction of the not- tery on in present site, I wrote Professor 110. Survey, Archivist at Halifax. and ho advised me in Feb- ruary of lost your that as nearly u he could find out. Prince lul-

l831 shows. it then mounted six guns, as it does today.

The Battery was reconstructed in 1882 on the sunken-bar-betto plan, which wu then the most improv- ed system of earth-works. The work was done by Mr. Robert Pal- merkgrnder the supervision of Major Irving on plans approved by ot- tnwa. some years ago repairs were made to the Battery and it. has since been kept in very good con- dition. .

However, thc' magazine needs rc- pnlrs at the precentutime. Slight repairs are necessary to the stone work. The upper walls and roof, both of wood. lire in poor condition. The wooden roof should be removed, and a flat roof placed in position, like that of the magazine in Vlctorln Barracks. A wooden roof on n pow- der magazine seems out of place. We have few enough historic sites here. Let us preserve the few we have. This magazine should be re- pnlred and 9. flat roof placed on it as it originally had.

THE EASTER. MESSAGE

Sir.-Christ is risen! is the Easter Mesage, the story of eternal tri- umph of life over death. the pro- mise and pied-;;s olf man's im- mortaliilty. Corruption could not devour I-liml He said "I am He that was dead. and behold I am alive fore-vermore and have me keys of death and hades". 'l7nc Saviour lives no more to dicl "Christ died"; this is an lndis. pu-table fact directly menatloned some 'one hundred Ind seventy- frve tune: in the New Testament. and being an historical fact as well as a Biblical one it cannot be contradicted. Christ died for our sins. Ho: conquers-.6 death and rose again the third day. The empty tomb declarm that the sin- ncr's debt has been paid.

True believers know that Christ arose and that they on risen with Hun. We know Him as the liv- in; and intercedlng Christ. Ha purchased us with His own blood. Every sin of those who accept Him as Saviour has been fully paid on Calvary. "Colvary covers it all". We are not bought with silver or

sold. our salvation is 1 free gift. There have been many false Christ-B. Is God told us there would be, bu-t,onaly One come back from the grave and revealed Him- self to His followers. 'Rre dicciplcs of Buddrc, Mobcmmcd, Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy. have never seen their leodctc since the day they were laid in the grove.
