By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Ee ASTER means many
things to many people.
To some it means new
frocks and new mil-
linery. To some it means
the end of Lent, a pe-
riod of self-imposed ab-
stinence from worldly
pleasures. To others it
means the beauty of the
white lily. And to still others it
means rabbits, Easter eggs and joys
of ehildhood. But back of all these
superficial symbols is the one essen-
tial faet toward which all of them
point—Easter day is the anniversary
of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ,
and the spirit of Easter is the reas-
surance that there is life after death,
that the soul of man is immortal.
Easter customs, like the
which have come to be a
Christmas, St. Valentine's day and oth-
er holidays and special dates for ob-
servance, are a mixture of the Chris-
tian and the pagan.
conscious of the true meaning and re-
ligious significance of Easter, it is a
matter for regret that many persons
are seemingly more familiar with the
pagan symbols, which have
associated with Easter incidentally,
than they ane with the true symbols
of that day. They regard the empha-
sis upon these symbols as
customs
become
responsi-
ble for the statement often made that
“Easter, Christmas and other Chris-
tian holidays are merely adopted
pagan festivals,” and point out that
this is a fallacy similar to an asser-
tion that the American Fourth of July
is a festival in honor of Chinese dra
gon gods, adopted by the superstitious
Yankees and associated in their su-
perstition with the idea of their in-
ilependence. Of course,
knows that the use of firec
which were invented by the Chinese
as an offering to dragon gods, and

ICKRers,

are lighted, wkist: awe burned as in-
cense in Mongolian temples, came to

Fourth of July celebrations and have | *
nothing to do with the essential spirit
of Independence day. Similarly the
symbol of the white rabbit which lays
Easter came to be associated
with Easter day by chance and has
nothing to do with its essential spirit.
Regardless, however, of the phi-
losophieal and theclogical aspects of
this question, the association of some
of these familiar
pagan though they may have been in
origin, with a Christian festival have
a eertain inherent interest, The as
sociation of the rabbit or hare with
Easter has its foundations in the an
cient belief in European and Asiatic
countries that the hare is the symbol
for the moon. The moon is the “open-
eyed watcher of the night,” and the
hare is a nocturnal animal. The young
of the hare are born with their eyes
open and are said never to close them.
Since the date of Easter is governed
by the moon, it is easily seen how the
rabbit, which is the symbol for the
moon, came to be an Easter symbol

Easter goes back to certain beliefs of
the ancients also. Eggs had been as-
sociated with the worship of Ash-
toreth, of the Astarte of the Phoe-
nicians, Isis of the Egyptians, Diana
of the Greeks and Romans and Eostre,
whom the Teutons worshiped in the
spring. Incidentally, the name Eas-
ter is said by some to be derived from
the name of this Teutonic goddess,
although others assert that it was
named for an old pagan spring fes-
tival in honor of the sun's new birth
in the east. The Egyptians regarded
he egg as-an emblem of the recre-
ation of things and of man’s regen-
eration. Then, too, the egg with its
life germ destined to produce a liv-
ing creature when warmed by the
mother hen is easily associated with
the idea of the earth blossoming forth
under the warm ray® of tke sun in
the spring, both closely akin to the
general idea of resurrection. Since
the Resurrection of Christ occurred
in the spring, it is easy to see how
the symbols of the egg and all re-
vived life in the springtime came to
be associated with this event in the
history of Christianity. The egg as a
symbol was taken over by the Hebrews
as an emblem of their delivery from
bondage and next the early Christians
took it over as their symbol of the
Resurrection.
The more intimate

egg is probably due
to a ‘pretty little legend which comes
from Germany.
It is as follows:

In some parts of northern Germany
the children hang eggs on trees sim-
ilar ta Christmas trees and candy fa-
gifts and all sorts of Easter nov-
elties are placed on the tree around
which the children gather, and sing
happy songs on Easter morning.
Peasants in other European countries

were accustomed to hang festoons of
eggs over the chimney piece and to
hand them down as heirlooms, for
they were regarded as treasures to be
kept and not as baubles to be de-
stroyed or thrown away. In England,
under the old ecclesiastical laws, rent
was payable in Easter eggs; games
were played with them (a fact which
was probably the forerunners of Eas-
ter “egg-rollings,” that ob-
served each year on the White House
lawn in Washington), especially by
the children in north England. Still

Cultivated Sponges
Sponges are now cultivated like

of sponges cultivated under the sea,
but this is no stranger, after all, than
beds of oysters.
The method is to cut up very fine,
healthy, living sponges—a sponge is
quite as lively as an oyster—into
seeds. These seeds, about half an inch
in diameter, ere wired to blocks of

The custom of dyeing Easter eggs
goes back for many centuries. Peas-
ants in the European countries dyed
them red, as a symbol of Christ's
blood, but the lords and ladies eov-
ered theirs with gold leaf. Later
more elaborate decorations were used.
Sometimes they were marbled in a
variety of colors; sometimes they
bore cupids and love knots, flam-
ing hearts and the signs of the
zodiac. Sometimes they were halved
and the shells hinged together with
ribbon and lined with It paper
and religious pictures. Among the
Venetians it was the custom to give
a friend a gift egg bearing the giver's
portrait, and many other variations on
egs decoration were common in
France, Spain and Belgium.
Half a century r0 Easter eggs
were made of porcelain, ivory, moth-
er-of-pearl, bronze, silver, or gold in
the form of little cases to hold vari
ous trinkets. But the modern chi
