main for further expansion of the
Air Mail and we are confident
that our young friends in the art
classes of the schools throughout
our Nation, already enthusiastic
advocates of aviation, will be more
iian delighted to contribute a
poster to assist this great nation
wide movement. And, through
this contest we hope to discover
for the Nation artistic talent that
will be revealed in the work of thd

the National Chairman said.
The Victorious Servant.
Lesson for Today: Acts 2:22-36.
Golden Text: Acts 2:32.
The disciples were utterly bewil
dered by the crucifixon and death
of Jesus. It signified a rude shat
tering of their dreams. But while
they no doubt consciously felt that
death on that bitter Cross meant
the end of Jesus, deeper down in
their unconscious selves their im
pulses cried, “No, he still lives!
Our beloved Messiah cannot really
be dead!”
What really happened on that
first Easter of blessed memory?
The evidence of the gospels is con
flicting. Fir^t, we read of an
actual bodily resurrection with an
empty tomb, and a physical form
that could be touched. Second, we
have appearances that do not sug
gest the actual physical presence
of the Master. Consider the, clos
ing words of Matthew, when we
read of the appearance of Jesus
on a mountain in Galilee. Third,
we are told of other revelations of
the risen Lord which combine the
material and the non-material.
The walk to Emmaus is a case in
point. There we see Jesus walking,
talking; entering a house for a
visit, sitting at a table and eating
food'. But the moment that the
two disciples recognized him, as
they were eating together, he sud
denly vanished.
It seems clear that the eye-wit
nesses of the risen Jesus actually
saw him, but that he appeared to
them transformed like an angel
with a glorified body such as Peter,
James and John saw at the Trans
figuration. And “through it all,”
as a recent commentator says, “it
was the personality of Jesus which
they received in resurrection.”
That is to say it was not the body
but rather “the man as a whole.”
And let us bear in mind that the
risen Lord appeared only to those
who loved him. There is no record
of a visit of the resurrected Jesus
to a hostile spirit. Only those who
were prepared for the resurrection
experienced it. To them it was the
natural climax of their over
whelming love for their Friend.
Somewhere in the United States
are two school children who will
attain nation-wide fame as artists
for their assistance in promoting
National Air Mail Week, which
will begin May 15.

The State Chairman announced
that any pupil in high scnooi clas

that the poster, to be eligible, must
relate to the Country’s air mail
service of the present and future
and its adaptability to the needs
of the Nation. That allows the
contestants a broad opportunity to
use their imagination and to dem
onstrate their artistic talents.
Posters will be judged 50 per

For April
The most important result of
producing vegetables on the farm
is improvement which may be ex
pected in the health and food
habits of the family—not the sav
ing of money spent for these sup
plies. Medical authorities and
food specialists say that to be
healthy and strong and active one
should eat plenty of fruit and
vegetables.
Hints
Do not allow tomato plants to
grow long-legged. Transplant
them to other boxes or frames and
give each plant room to become
stout-stemmed and stocky. If well
a -i, • hardened they may be set in the
open 10 days earlier.
In setting tomato plants do not
follow the old rule of setting only
as deep as they stood in the seed
bed.. This is not deep enough. A
good tomato plant is about eight
inches from the root to the top,
and about as large as a lead pencil.
Set the plants so that half the
stem is below the surface of the
ground. Plants set in this manner
will have roots deep enough to re
sist drouth, besides roots will come
along the part of the stem that is
under the ground.
Early kinds of vegetables that
were planted in February and

Under general average condi

natural soda usually gives cotton
an adequate and profitable supply
of nitrogen. Experienced farmers
often use considerably more to
good advantage, especially under
the crop, but 200 pounds is doubt
less safer for the average user. It
