Easter, 1950
Easter morn, 1950, as in all other years, will usher in a new
era of life and activity.
Easter is probably the most outstanding religious and eccles
iastical event of the year, eclipsing even Christmas in importance,
and the secular importance of the day has kept pace with the
religious.
The entire course of history was changed by that first Easter,
which signified the resurrection of Christ from the dead. The
world was never the same after Christ broke the fetters which
bound Him and came forth from the tomb. A new era in history
of mankind was initiated on that first Easter morning.
The world he* fallen far *hoxl of attaining the triumphant
faith, beautiful ideal* and glorious hope contained in the Easier
•tory. but they are there and the world would be a deeolate
place, indeed, without them.
Lent commenced with Ash Wednesday and will climax with
the holding of joyous and impressive Easter services around the
Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion of Christ, will
be solemnly observed by the silencing of bells and other appro
priate rites in the churches.
Easter, 1950, will occur at a season of the year, as it usually
does, when nature is clothed in her greatest beauty—the beauty
of early spring, when the trees are putting forth new leaves,
when the birds are singing their sweetest songs, and when the
joyful theme of the resurrection of Christ harmonizes with this
spiritual background.
In all Christian churches all over the world Easter is cele
brated and impressive services are held with appropriate ser
mons, special music and a profusion of flowers. (Details of ob
servance in many Holt county churches are to be found on special
pages of this issue.) .
The joyful Easter bells will ring out across the land regardless
of the weather come Sunday morning.
The old, old story of the resurrection, like the old, old story
of the birth of the Christchild, will be retold in sermon and song
to millions of people all over the world.
Go to church on Easter! ___

Letter to the Editor
O'Neill, Nebr.
April 1, 1950
Dear Editor:
We’ve known and read about
lots of man and dog relation
ships. This is another tribute
to Fluff, D. H. (Harry) Claus
son’s barber shop dog:
A TRIBUTE TO FLUFF
Man’s best friend may be
1 come his enemy; his son or his
daughter whom he has reared
with loving care may become
ungrateful; those that are near
and dear to us, those whom we
trust with our happiness and
our good name may become
traitors to their faith.
The money a man has he may
lose; it flies away from him
when he needs it most.
A man’s reputation may be
sacrificed by a moment of in
considered action.
Those who will get down on
their knees and do you honor
when success is with you are
the first to throw the stone of
malice when failure settles its
cloud over your head.
The one absolute, unselfish
friend that a man can have is
his dog. Man’s dog stands by
hiim in health and in sickness,
in wealth or in poverty; he will
kiss the hand that has no food to
offer; he will lick the scars and
wounds that come in contact
with the roughness of the j
world; he will guard the sleep i
of his proper master as if he
were a prince; when richness
takes wing and reputation falls
to pieces he’s as constant in his
love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens; when all j
others dessert, he remains.
And when the last scene of
all comes, and death takes the j
master in his embrace, and his
body is laid away in the cold,
cold ground there, by the grave- j
side, the noble dog will be
found — his head between his
paws, his eyes sad with watch- '
fulness even m death
