GILROY, D. D. We have seen how the joy and hosannas of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem changed so quickly into the scenes of darkness and tragedy, as Jesus was arrested, brought before Pi late, and driven forth to crucifix ion. And then, just as quickly, darkness was turned into light, sorrow into joy, and death and tragedy into triumph. Jesus had warned the disciples in words that after the event seem unmistakably plain that He was about to suffer and die; but the disciples were so filled with the idea of an earthly kingdom, and they were so disputing about who should have the preferred places, almost to the very mo ment of the crucifixion, that they failed to take His words seriously. Then came the blow, with the shattering of their hopes. Peter expressed the mood, and the complete disillusionment, when he said, "I go afishing," meaning that he was going back to his nets, that the dream for which they had left - all and followed Jesus was over. But in that very hour of dark despair came the joyous news of the empty tomb and the risen Christ. Hope and faith revived, and the twelve whom Jesus had 1 1 P ft i 1 Wagner's Beau$)STiop is ted 1902 Third SI.

Other special music has chosen, now eleven with the be trayal of Judas, went forth to their task of world conquest, re inforced soon by the converted Paul, whoso motivating convic tion, filled with power, was that he too had seen the master "as one born out of due season." The resurrection became the groundwork of Paul's faith and work, as it was that of the first disciples. It is the profound con viction that has been the moti vating power of Christianity the faith that Jesus lives, and that He is leading on. Is it hard to believe? Consid er the miracle of Christianity it self. What less than that convic tion that Jesus had risen and had revealed Himself to them could have arrested the disciples in their hour of complete despair and sent them forth in a new found faith, prepared to serve, to suffer, and if need be to die, for the glory of spiritually carry ing on the work and ministry of a king, who but yesterday was the center of their ambition for earthly power and reward? Their faith, like their works, was the evidence of the transfor mation through which they pass ed as they knew that Jesus lived, and they understood the word:! concerning His death and resur rection that but a few weeks be fore had seemed so incomprehen sible. Would God that we, also, rnight have that experience, and know the risen Christ as they knew Him, and find the power that these humble men found throuiih the resurrection! That would be for us a joyous Easter. During the fust five jnorrths of01!H4 Il.tJtlO.Oou poun'tf mail per month (Wt-'re transported by .1ir.

Five Restaurants To Close Lacking Red Ration Points Operators of five local restau rants and lunch counters today annodhced they will close to morrow, probably, to remain in operative through April, because of a lack of red ration points with which to obtain meat. Most of the operators said their allot ments of blue points for process ed foods lire adequate. The businesses affected are the Stockman's Central lunch. Imper ial, Corner lunch and Club cafe. Carl Baum, operator of the Stockman's, said the allotment of red points for March and April failed to meet their requirements by 50 percent, leaving them with none for meat for the soming month. He said the restaurants have experienced substantial increases in business as the meat situation has become tighter, many persons eating one or more meals d'aily in restaurants to make their fam ily allotments '' stretch over a longer period. . Stockman said the restaurant owners have been ndviscd by the 'ihtion board that 'there is nothing that can be done about the situa tion, as the board has no author ity to issue ration points for any RO-day period ,in excess of amount indicated by a restau rant's business during the previ ous 00 day period. Local rationing officials sug gested that the local eating houses should observe one or more meatless days each week and utilize more meats with low er ration point values. They said they are unable to issue additional points to any res taurant or lunch counter under conditions such as those that ex ist here now. It was explained that when a restaurant's business increases during a two-month period, the restaurant is allowed additional ration points during the ensuing period in proportion to the in crease in business.

England Opposes Lublis Pole Seat At Security Table LONDON, March 31 (UP) The British government has formally notified Russia that she cannot agree to a Soviet suggestion that the Warsaw Polish government be invited to the San Francisco conference. The Soviet suggested to Bri tain and the United States that the Warsaw Poles be asked to the conference if a new provisional government had not been estab lished by that time. A foreign office spokesman said the Russians have been ad- WASHINGTON, March 81 (UP) The United Slates has rejected a Russian request that the Soviet-sponsored Polish provision government at War saw be Invited to the San Fran cisco security confeience. A state department spokes; man disclosed that this coun try had joined Great Britain in turning down the appeal from Moscow that the Warsaw gov ernment represent Poland at the united nations parley. The spokesman said the United States would stand firm on the big three's Yalta deci sion to broaden the present Warsaw government by includ ing Poles from outside Poland as well as those 'within the lib erated country. vised the Soviet proposal "is im possible," Ho did not know whether the United States and China, to whom the Russians addressed similar notes with a request for a prompt reply, had answered Moscow. The Soviet request confronted the "big three" with a trouble some new problem even while they were discussing Ihe num ber of votes each should have at the San Francisco conference. Both the Polish provisional government, originally set up un der Soviet auspices at Lublin, and the rival Polish exile govern ment in London have demanded seats at the conference. Both the United States and Britain recognize only the Lon don regime, but thoy have stood by the Yalta decision that only a reconstructed government of national unity drawn from- both factions would be invited. Radio Moscow said the Soviet note contended that the provi sional government is entitled to representation at the conference in the event that the coalition government has not been estab lished because it is the govern ing body-of the entire Polish ter ritory and has the support of the Polish nation. The exile government, on the oilier hand, recognizes that the Rod army turned administration of liberated Poland over to thl; provisional government, b u I maintains that the London cabi net still has the support of most Poles, Huge AirpoH tti San Francisco Hay Proposed by Kaiser NEW YORK, March 31 (UP) Henry J.

Civilian Supply Of Pork Boosted; Beef Is Reduced WASHINGTON, March 31 (UP) The war food administration yesterday issued two orders changing the amounts of beef and pork, federally inspected packers must set aside for government purchase. The revisions are in line with the recently announced cut In civilian meat allocations for April, May and June, reducing per cap ita consumption to an approxlm dte average of 115 pounds com pared with 120 during tho first quarter. WKA boosted the set-aside on utility beef from 79 to 80 per cent. The government also buys 00 per cent of bettor grade beef and. 80 per cent of canner beef. Under the revised pork order, civilians will get approximately seven per cent more pork but entirely of the cheaper cuts. The south will benefit particularly from an increase in salt pork and fat cuts. However, other parts of the country will suffer from a decrease in supplies of hum, bacon, roast and loin. Net effect of the adjustments will he thai 28 Vi pounds from each 100 pounds of live hog will lib set aside for war requirements Instead of 30'ji pounds.
