He created man '. out of nothing:, which nature could not. He can restore man "from the dust, which nature cannot." , That is the hope of Easter. It is the faith in life beyond v: the grave And that hope and that faith grips constantly more and more of the teeming millions of the humar race and clothes , life on this earth with beauty And, under the teachings of the Man of GJlilee whose vie- T tory oyer death heralded the first glad Easter morning; teachings proclaiming the fatherhood of God and the broth , erhood of man, and peace on earth and good will to men, and y the love of neighbor equal to love of self All this spirit of Christianity is the spirit of service above selfishness ; the spirit that is destined to usher in universal '.peace and friendship and forbearance and toleration It is the spirit of Easter. THE COUNTRY CORRESPONDENT Salem yesterday entertained a group of country corre spondents of the newspapers of Marion county; the people . who write the neighborhood news In the rural sections the most eagerly read of all. the news - - The news that comes from the heart of things;, from where the people live and strive and hope; from the homes that make up the foundation stones of the Republic, with out which there could be no firm security for the Tnstitu- tions of the country. The faithful chroniclers of the neigh borhood events are thus of the salt of the earth. Unpre : tentiously, they are doing a worth while work, calculated' to endure. They are at the source of the stream which feeds the best life of the great cities. The statement was recently made that every prominent newspaper man in New York City, the largest newspaper city in the world, has come to an important post from some small town where he has learned how to reach down into the hearts of the people. "The chrnces for business success are much greater with the man from the small1 town than they are with the man from the larger cities," recently declared one of the heads of the house of the J. C. Penney company, the second larg est chain store concern in the United States. "The small town boy learns the importance of thrift and application early in life and generally follows the principles of these two great virtues throughout life ... "They are essential to business success." ! 1 - The small town boy also learns the habit of being neigh - borly, and it is this habit which gives him a standing with the people wth whom he must cmoe into contact in business , life je For, after all, in the heart of it, a nation is made up of neighborhoods, craving for the touch of neighborliness; for the contacts of mutual interest and helpfulness. The country correspondent is the fostering preserver of v neighborliness, deserving well of his or her day and genera '''tipn for unselfish devotion to tasks the performance of which is worth while. READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Fenton, a ilngularly In nocent girl, li private secretary to Ralph Armitace. who has an In sane wife. Her father, a drank ard, telli her that her mother de serted them, and that all women have their price. who cherishes a secret fondness for David. Kenmore. Lynda'a com panion from childhood. Emily olota aialnst Lynda from the very becinninz. David telle Lynda he lows- .her. bat she decides she doeent want tq be la love with aar man. David li away on a trio. Lynda' father deserts her, aad Claire Stanhope coma ta live with her. Lynda has, bee invited ta ai party, and Emily, secretly sends David a letter. saEsestlng that ha come noma for tha. party, so that Lynda may be mad to feel at ease. Then ah sends him anonymous not, saying "Ralph Arsftltavc la iwahlaa: year airL' David write to Lynda, admontsh- tec her t bawar of Ralph Arral- taca. It aura bar Ire. and turn her tloaxhts to Ralph. Ralph haa met with an accident, and Lynda roes to his home to take dictation. There ha holds her hand and galni her sympathy. and when aha bends and KM htm lightly, in ilmple Innocence. ha terminate! the issslon. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Chapter SO The End of Aa Imperfect Day In her pity for Ralph Armltage Lynda Fenton had felt toward him Just as she would have felt to ward David If life had dealt him such a blow. Ralph bad asked In every way possible for her sympathy, and when h Innocently gave it to him, he had told her ihe mutt not stay any longer. She could not understand it. She felt the tears rise to her eyes. She had thought that he was quite as understand ing as David, but it was perfectly apparent that he wasn't, and now he might alwayi think ihe was cheap.. Surely he did not think she was trying to flirt with him. Emily Andrews had been Quietly scrutinising Lyn, and she decided there was something behind her silence. Too many emotions were passing across her face. I wonder what happened at the Armitage houee?" she asked her self. . "Surely no girl in her sens es would be so senseless as to turn Arml down if he had let her iee he wai struck on her, which I am sure ha did. Lyn must have found out about Pamilla Sheston and come to the conclusion that the gama was up as far as she. her elX, was concerned. So she came back as soon as possible." j "Lyn, Emily asked, abruptly, when ar you going to invite me over to your house? Tou ouaht to have a party, and invite all of ua over. very soon." "I'm going to." Lyn answered, "as soon aa Davie cornea home. Claire and I were talking about It the other night. Eacfh one of you rirls will have to bring your own escort, for you know that with the exception of David and Mr. Armi tage. whom I would not dan to ask. I do not know any men." "Good Lord! What an inno cent you must be! We'll soon remedy that, however. Ill get Aral to come. He won't be In bed long, will he?" "He wasn't in bed this morning, Emily. He was lounging in a gor geous robe. They had split up the sleeve over his dislocated shoul- aer. sal a L.yn. Innocently telling Emily what that young woman de aired to know. "But do you think that Mr. Armitage would com to my house? He Is pretty demo cratic, but I Old not know he would be as democratic as that." "Democratic, my hat! Ralph Armitage can b the most snobbish person living If It suits him; but he likes yon. Don't you under stand that? He would turn down an Invitation from the Prince of Wales for yon." i was yon naa not tola m about nil tactics, Emily." "I had to, Lyn.

"Well, here' where I leave yon. Lyn, here's where I leave yon. Yoai take the bus. do yon not?" Gladly Lyn bowed her head. When she got home she found Claire looking as wretched bi ihe felt. "Wai Ralph Armitage able U see you? she asked. At the question, Lyn remem bered that ah had not said one word to him about Claire. "Yea, I saw him." she said, "bat I did not stay very long. Ha said he was not able to give me dicta tlon. I did not have time to say anything about your affairs. I'm awfully sorry, Claire, but I think he Is asking me to come out to morrow, and then I II tell him." The girls at their meal in al ienee. It had been a very hard day for both of them. Early Lyn da went to her room. She took a hot bath, spent about half an houi over her nails, sprayed hersell with perfume, and finally amused herself by putting an entirely new mouth on her face. She wai Just getting into bed when she heard Claire talking to someone, and then there was a tapping on her door. "Lyn, dear, there li a man out here with a message for you." Hastily slipping on a Bathrobe and slippers, she came out Into the living room, tcf find Wilson, Ralph Armltage's man. "Please, Mill Fenton, Mr. Armi tage told me to give yon this, and wait for your reply." Hastily opening the note, she read:' "Dear Lynda: "(A tick man may call you dear Lynda, may he not?)
