The patient in his fever and delirium tosses restlessly through the night, he finds quiet and assurance with the dawning of the day. Even *f\*, the birds and flowers sleep through the night and awaken with the morning. In the shadowy hours of the evening on that fateful Good Friday the body of Christ found sepulture in the new and unused tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. The very somberness and solemnity of the evening hour were fitting accom- paniments of such a tragic ending. With the first “As it began to dawm, to- ward the first day of the week.” The mighty teaching of the resurrection is associated with the dawn of a new day. It marks the berinning of a new chapter in the L. P.

Through the long centuries that followed that first Resurrection morning, men and women have been looking yearningly in its direction and have found in it the assur- ance and hope of immortality. blush of a glowing morning the risen Christ emerged from His tomb. His first appearances were to those who had come at the breaking of day to pay their loving tribute at the sealed gateway of His tomb. The whole scene speaks of freshness and renewal, it forecasts in no uncertain way the dawn of that eternal morning when, emancipated and re- deemed, men shall enter into the fuller and more abundant exponent and embodi- W/ ment? “Sing, with all the sons of glory, che, Sing the resurrection song! \ 9 Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story, (7 To the “former days’* belong.

After Sun- day school and church where special Easter Sunday exercises make the day more joyous, thousands and thou- sands of boys and girls will return home and hint for Easter rabbits and eggs. Then the egg-rolling contests will begin. But this great sport for the youngsters will not stop with the close of the day.” Easter Monday is always a great day for the kiddies, if they have any unbroken eggs left for rolling. And there‘always seems to be a reserve supply. Easter Monday is a gala day for the youngsters of Washington, for on that day they go to the White House grounds where they roll their vari-colored eggs for the President and first lady and, of course, for their own entertainment. Easter is now a Christian festival in memory of the crucifixion and resurrection of our Savior, but it had a heathen origin. It is a relic of the pagan festival of spring celebrating the rebirth of life after the dormant period of winter. It was not until 395 A. D. that the Council of Nice proclaimed Easter as the time for celebrating the resurrection of Christ. The council also decreed that it should be a movable feast y/hich cannot be earlier than March 22 or later than April 25, and that it be determined by the old paschal or Jewish lunar month, always falling on the first Sunday after the full moon on or next after March 21. Thus, if the full moon falls on Sunday, then Easter day is the next Sunday. Easter Legends. All youngsters know about the rabbit and eggs and their connection with Easter. The Easter egg and the legend of the rabbit are universal. But how did these symbols of this joyous festi- val originate? The origin of egg-roll- ing which most children enjoy so much is supposed to have begun cen- turies ago from the practice of farm- ers rolling eggs over their lands to be ‘sure of abundant yields at harvest time. This was because the egg was the pagan emblem of the, germinating ! of life of early spring. are told that the rabbits lay the eggs, this reason the latter are in flower beds in the yard and garden. | The rabbit is another pagan symbol | and has always been an emblem of | fertility. | knowledge Modern peeple have of what these yet they have continued-these mean, | old pagan customs, perhaps by force | of habits, and certainly for the amuse- ment of youngsters at Easter time. Why Eggs Were «Colored. As to the coloring of Easter eggs a The children | lost | symbols | reiigiods encycicpedia says: “Becauss the use of eggs was forbidden during Lent, they were brought to the table on Easter day colored red’ to sym- bolize the Easter joy. This custom is found not only in the Latin, but also in the Griental churches.” Christians are supposed to have adopted the egg- rolling custom to symbolize the resur- réction, and the eggs were colored red in allusion to the blood of redemption. Yet, other colors were later intro- duced and now they have no special significance except to make variety.— Pathfinder Magazine. Three Days Noon! on a Roman road By weary prisoners trod, Bowed to the earth a fainting form, The Son of God. Night! and a naked Cross Lifted against the sky, On whose stark arms the Sun of God Lay Down to Die. u Dawn! by an empty Tomb, He who is strong to’ save, The Son of God, hath conquered death And rent the grave, There is the hazard that one may be wrong on Easter morning, and yet it seems, so far as recollection serves, that Easter mornings commorly are suited to the joyous significance of the day. The sunshine loves the earth, and’ lingers gn it, and trees put forth their leaves in tender haste, and shrub and tree, after their fashion, are in bloom. One would vow almost that the cherries bloomed for Easter, and that the quince in the garden had put forth in token of the resurrection. It is excellent, in all .truth, that Easter should fall as it does in this region, and ever a broad belt of the planet. For the season is—shall we not say?—synchronized with the mes- sage, and the mother earth cries out, albeit dearly, that there is no death, but only the seeming thereof. You will look long in months to come for turf that is greener than the sod of Easter Sunday, for flowers that are more innocent of hue and petal. And if it be fair, as we insist the morning ought of right to be, you will look | long for such anoth€r morning. For so many, man? days the earth | has slept, in that Sumber which feigns death. Seed and root in their loam, dreaming of a time when a touch should awaken them, -and they her up and extort a kiss for her free- should rise to be with. and of the world again—a world of sunshine and laughter. Is there aught of sadness in this? There is much of promise ful- filled. For the seed quickens and the fibers rouse once more, that Easter shall be pleasant, and that lane and lawn shall have leaf and flower and bladed green. On all ordinary occa- sions we have little faith in weather prophecy—but this morning should be blithe and sunny. It really should be, for it is Easter.—Portland Oregonian. German Kiddies Believe Easter Hare Lays Eggs The Easter “hare” originated in Germany, and there the little children in the German village are taken to the woods the day before Easter and each child makes a nest of twigs and then runs away. Then when he comes back next morning, lo! the nests are all beautifully filled. Who else but the hare could have laid the eggs? For the hares do not lay ordinary eggs. Only large painted, candy eggs. At least that is what every child in Ger- many is taught to believe. In certain English provinces there is in vogue the queer “lifting” custom. If a crowd of women meet a man they seize him and lift him up three times, and h> must pay a forfeit if he would escape. On Easter Tuesday the men retaliate. The woman must beware then. The men will seize her and lift dom. For several years now there has been an interesting sight in the Good Friday procession in Seville. A gal- lant society man, much muffled and disguised, walks barefoot and carries a heavy cross. Those who do not know him think, of course, that he must be extremely devout to put him- self to so much discomfort. But he is not religious a bit. He is only walking to save the family money. The law of inheritance in his family compels him to do it.

Pus formed in the ear and entered the brain causing meningitis and she passed away with the assurance of a blessed hereafter, having endured a great deal of suffering here." She was a girl with a very amia- disposition and made many friends, being loved by those with whom she came in contact. She was held in high esteem, especially by the teachers and pupils of the public school as well as the pupils of the Catholic school who came to pay their tribute to her while her body lay cold in death. Flowers were contributed by the public school, by the officials of the Heisley Coal Co, by the M. E.

This he did, and furthermore, he made a con- dition that all male inheritants if they wished to inherit the family property, should do the same. So while the present gentleman in Seville performs his penance, his friends, who have received their property on no such condition stand around and wonder if “his feet will permit him to attend the <uke’s bell on Monday next.” Another interesting feature of the procession is a child of twelve, biind- folded.
