An "eggs-lremely" clever Idea
for eggs prepared for the annual
egg hunt Is to write the children's
names on the eggs. Even tiny

. ligg Names
The trick of writing on eggs 1h
simple. First choose white eggs, 1
and hardboll them as usual. Then
dyu them in the ordinary commer
cial dyes, using light colors. And
now comes the trick. Writo the
name, on the egg with a stub pen
dipped in melted wax or puruffiuc.
when the wax hardens, dip egg
Into a dark colored dye which Itus

tho wax. The name finally appears
In the color the egg was first
dipped in, while the. egg Itself is
the color of lint lasl dye.
The baskets provided for tho
small searchers in which to carry
their eggs should' bo reasonably
strung. It's a tragedy to have
the handle pull out of one's
basket, turning the precious "Kusc

Candy In Fxus
Onn of the most fa-scinating
fashions in Easier eggs is that of
filling an empty egg shell with
liny candy eggs or jelly beans.
Tho shell Is carefully dipped Into
dye, taking cam that no dyo gets

SEEING THROUGH TO EASTER
Editor's Note Each yeur Tho Observer publishes uu Faster
message the Saturday before Easter Sunday and this year the fol
lowing urtlclo Is presented, penned by Rishop Remington, of tho
Episcopal church.
lly tlm Itt. Rev. V. I Remington, D, I), ' ,
flllshop of Easlorn Oregon)
An artist friend oho time drew a picture, for mo which ho held
represented his experience of life' It was of a monk kneeling be
fore a crucifix holding in his hand a lighted taper. As tho smoke
ascended from tfio cutidle It formed a iiuestlon murk which en
circled the arms of the Cross and left u period to be put In at the
- feel of the Crucified One. It is true that Jesus has been the central
-Figure upon Whom the eyes of nil the world have been fastened
ever since He stretched out His loving arms upon that Cross. Il is
true that ull of us must look to Him today fm tho solution of our
everlasting, questions. However, my friend was wrong In believing
that the answer could be given from the cross; it can only be found
In the mystery of the empty tomb of Kuster morning und the words
of the ungels, "Ho Is not here, Ho Is risen, uu He said." If the hope -of
humanity, the Light of the World, the one truo pure, spotless
und loving life was crushed und put out on Calvary's Hill, life and
love have been defeated and the world of men has no assurance
elthor of moral und spiritual victory now, or of u continued triumph
or even existence Oioroafter. The smoko of our llttlo lighted tapers
will forever cncirclo the Cross and end up with a period at the
foot of the Crucified, unless wo can find some way of seeing through
tho Calvury of Jesus to the glad assurance of the Kuster dawn,
ufiii winning a victory over our lesser Calvurlcs, by our unconquer
able faith In Immortality. Jesus endured the cross und despised
the shame for the Joy that was set befoio Him. llo had that Joy In
Himself but Ho had It, been n ho Ho of all men was able to seo
through to tho ultimate purposes of life, to 'tho Reality which
lay beyond tho mosts und uncertainties of earthly existence.
The men and women of the twentieth century live In dally con
tact with what tho people ot tho nineteenth century would huvo
called Impossible miracles. If Reujamin Franklin could have
projected In his Imuglmitlon the marvels of the electric uge und hud
durcd to prophesy what was to happen, his cuutompururies would
huvo called htm a dreamer, a vain babbler of Impossible things.
Rut suppose ho had been able to seo through the lightning In the
clouds to tho day when that same force was harnessed, nnd a
child, by presBlng a button, could turn night Into day nnd send a
voice across tho continent, would ho not have been In closer touch
with truth und reality, than those who scoffed at Htm. Every
victory which modern science has won over tho forces of tho
physical unlvorse has come because some dlscovorer or Inventor
was able to see through what hud formerly appeared to bo truth
and discover what really was tho essence of things. Llttlo by little
(iod has been putting into our hands the keys to unlock the secrets
of nature and the mysteries of the universe. As those doors huvo
been flung wide, humanity has been released from Us fears nnd
superstitions. Wo are coming out of darkness Into light, out of
Ignorance into the path of true knowledge. The means to this end
has been understanding, somo one has beon ablo to show us how
wo could seo through. ' .,
Wo veti I l?.e the truth of all (bene things us they hold In our
physical world, but how slow wo are to apply tho same method'
and learn the same lesson In tho moral ami spiritual field. That
Is the reason why many of us never gcLhcyoud tho question of
Calvary to the dawn of" Easter, why wo never can seo tho mean
ing of pain or suffering, or trials and disappointments, of sin or
-oC death' Wo jUHl'-eunnol seo far enough,- Faster 1. the-key to nil .
understanding-- R Is Hie dawn of compre'heimioh, the light which v
drives away all fears and falHe Mens or conceptions of life. It
ushers us Into a country of new delights, radlanco streams from tho
empty tomb. All ualure empties Its fragrance and beauty Into our
laps, friendship" and love glow anew, death and sin have lost their
sling and tho grave has been robbed of Us victory. There Is no
other key to human existence, to the abundant life here and to
Immortality beyond this earth. When Menus looked down from
His Cross on Good Friday ami surveyed tho evil and sin which
was nailing lllm to the tree, Ills Word was "Father forgive them
for they know not what they do." He had compassion on tho
Ignorance of men: If they only hail known what Ho knew, If they
could have seen through sin and death to eternal goodness and life.
Ho only hail the key to death and He had to pass through Hint door
in order to fling whto the portals of eternity und let In the light of
understanding and comprehension.
Easter was the Reality, of which Calvary wuh but Iho shadow
of man's ignorance.
Our day and generation has unlocked many doors through the
keys which have come Into our hands, but we huvo been surpris
ingly slow In applying our new found methods to the laws of the
spiritual. This Is parily beesuso tho emphasis of our ago has
been upon material development. Home of us believe that the
twentieth century will witness almost as great advance In the
understanding of spiritual law nnd life. There will bo the samo
process, experimentation, verification and the sharing of fads.
This Is tho method of science, and It can and should bo applied to
religion fearlessly. Of course, you must begin with the acknowl
edgement that there Is a moral and spiritual world. Just as you
begin in physical science with the hypothesis of a material world.
Tills Is the crux of modern life. Thousands, nay millions of us, live
so constantly Ip tho flosh'thut the moral and spiritual has a hard
time breaking through.
One must bo born again In order to enter Into that kingdom, and
sin and seirisb'ness stand guard over tho door which leads to
eternal life. Kin makes us ignorant . Mill Jesis died to take away
sin and lie hadan Infinite compassion for our Ignorance.
I wlsh I might write a message which would go through all
Eastern Oregon and reach the hearts of my people who aro yearn
ing for ti clearer understanding of the meaning of lOasl'er. In the
m 1 1 Mt of much loneliness, many trials, a great deal of Indif ferenco
if ml coiiiplnisniice, we are all yearning fur Reality. Remember
Jesus has put the key Into our hand. Ignorant und foolish as we are,
we can take It and achieve a Joy and peace we have never known
before.

And the thoughts of earth will grow stiMngely dim
