Telephone 154 AN EASTER CAROL All hail this joyous Easter mom, When earth arises newly born. The daffodiPhas left the mold To praise the Lord with lips of gold; l The butterfly its coffin rends Lnd to the sunlit sky ascends; id every bush and tree and clod fts an offering to God. Salute this glorious Easter day When angels rolled the stone away," And from the dark and lowly door The Lord, arisen, came of yore His feet among the lilies white, His garments^ aureoled with light, And in His hands for fhee and me The gift of imortality! THE COUNTRY F4JXH Here in the country’s heart, Where the grass is green, Life is the same sweet life As it e’er hath been. * • Trust in a 'God still lives, And the bell at morn Floats with a thought of God O’er the rising corn. God c&mes down in the rain, And the crop grows tall— This is the country faith And best of all! —Norman Gale in Telephone News. MRS.
