Easter Music Tells Story of New Life n Ou Easter day, the year of our Lord, 1930, church bells ring from early morning till after dusk has fallen. Congregations in the Chris tian viurches listen to the cantatas, carols, anthems, and perhaps join in the singing of the hymns, sung by soloists and choirs at morning, ves per and late evening services. People generally rarely remind themselves of the fact that Easter was a religious ,spring festival long before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ upon the cross brought to that period 'of the year one <;f the two great fes tivals of Ostura. goddess of spring. According to the belief of the ancient Norsemen. Ostura was. supposed to bring the earth rebirth. Life was the theme of those original Easter carols —new life on earth. Today the Chris tian world listens to the story an nouncing definitely that there is life after death in another sphere, which is the message of the Christian Easter tide. The early Easter carols were songs accompanied by dancing. The Easter egg and rabbit, symbols of prolific re production, are still the symbols given in toy form to little children at Easter. The Easter bunny has assumed legend ary fellowship with Santa Claus. The many colors of the Easter eggs were orisinall.v planned to reflect the glory of the Aurora Borealis, the rising sun so significant in the frozen lands of the Norsemen, where the sun warmed and thawed running streams and made tiie earth fertile and livable again. Rituals of Paganism. In those pagan Easter rituals the hearth fires were rekindled to disperse Winter's evil, dying germs, and youths and maidens seeking marriage danced about the new fires or leaped over the flames. f The Greek- and i.atia word for Easter —celebration of the spring fes tival—was pascha, a direct derivative from the Chaldee word signifying “passing” (the Hebrew, pesach, or the festival of the passing over of the Hebrew households, as recorded in Ex of lus 12). Socrates, ecclesiastical historian of the Greeks, mentioned that in the Christian church’s earliest days, while the memory of the actual Crucifixion • was still vivid, “the apostles had no thought of appointing festival days, but of promoting a life of blameless ness and piety.” He attributes the oh nervation of Easter by the churches as resulting “just as many other old customs have been established.” It is interesting that, musically and otherwise, so many of the original Ijngati Easter customs have been ban (bah down to present days under the, Tiew, cloak of Christian meanings or interpretations of the origiual sig ifcifteauce. Christian churches continue IM* ritufti blessing water and its purifying qualities In the old days the children carried garlands- of flow- JK' J.iji dipt nu UdjtssJiag : O^tiuitg'dljfnr^da&ta^M^ Jfa tn sltia ilagoua ®ag,' m&V ers to decorate fresh springs and the hanks of streams; today many churches have numerous baptisms of infants as* a leading feature of the chief service. Easter Hymns and Anthems. The Christian version of the Easter carol is the most popular form, possi bly excepting the hymn, which like wise had its pagan origin in odes or songs of praise sung in honor of pagan gods «r heroes. The anthems, on (he contrary, are later in date and were originally planned to he sung, as tin name indicates, antiphonally, or re sponsively. Monday, in the White House grounds at Washington, lighter themes ol Easter music are played by the United States Marine band, while the little folks of the National Capital roll their Easter eggs behind the President’s Mansion, and eat candy chickens and rabbits. The children, too, place bouquets of flowers in huge crosses in man\ children’s Easter services in churches and they sing the most familial ca rols. The present day version of the orig inal Pascha candle will be found on the altar In many churches. In olden days of early Christianity, in some of the cathedrals of medieval England the Pascha candle was of huge dimen sions. Records show that the elah orately constructed brass candlesticks in Durham cathedral had a height of the central stem of :;s feet, wit I branch candelabra for smaller can dies at the four cardinal points, giv ing the entire height of 7<> feet, 'flu candles were lighted from an opening above. In Salisbury cathedral, in IT 17, the candle used for burning durin" the entire period of Whilsnniide. was 36 feqt long of itself. After Whit suntide was over, what remained of the Pascha candle was melted and made over into small candles given to the poor people. _ It is easy to realize, through the raedhtin of these Easier customs am! music, that the world, Christian and pagan, has a supreme, unified interest in the spring festival known as Easter Whether it be in celebration of the re birth of earth itself as according to the ancient Norse idea, or the Chris tian belief in the rebirth of the human soul after passing through the veil of death, Easter is. and doubtless will re main to the end of time, the most vitally significant festival of the world !n which we humans live. It is quite natural that music, the art that gives the greatest number of people emo tional outlet for such celebrations, should he the dominant feature of the services in all churches on Easter day. Egg Rolling in Germany At Easter time iri Germany the sport of egg-rolling begins at midnight and lasts two or three hours, the game consisting of rolling the eggs along tracks made of sticks placed side by side. Apples and little round eakes are used as well as eggs. In Bohemia the children roll their eggs in a row, starting all the con testing eggs simultaneously at a given signal, and watch to see which egg* will first reach the bottom of the io dine. . • < THE CHATHAM RECORD.

The work of the architect is held in highest regard in its relation to every phase of building endeavor, as it is to his creative ablity and oft-times to his artistic skill that the realization of a beautiful home and useful structure is accomplish ed. Before a spadeful of earth is turned, or a brick laid, every de tail of tl e structure hafs been planned by the architect, who with his sketches gives the public the idea of the composite effects em bodied in the new' building as well as its features of construction. For its population Raleigh is re markable for the many durable buildings. Most of these buildings, such as court house and schools, have been designed by local archi tects, who each year add to their prestige by new achievements in the field of building design to meet the new' demand.

J ' “Hair, after the permanent wave process, is nearly restored to its natural conditions and responds thereafter to the natural heat of the body and natural moisture of the atmosphere. On the extremely dry day a damp brush will increase the curl instead of taking it out. These things all go to prove that nature will assist the permanent J waves.” It is openly admitted by skin I i specialists that activity of the body lends brightness to the face and makes one appear young, still there are signs of age that appear even with a healthy, active body, and at this shop the give-away lines and ! flabby muscles are remedied.

Cheshire, bishop of the North Carolina diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church. The occasion was made of record at Raleigh by dedication of Cheshire Hall at the Negro Episcopal school and tea served at St. Mary’s School. Neither affair was a speechmaking event but the venerable bishop did take oc casion at St. Mary’s to say a word for youth. He declared that much of the “good old religion” was sheer nonsense, and that there is more per sonal religion among the young people today than ever before. Bearing his years lightly in his physical - form, he has kept in his heart the spirit of eternal youth. Witfy fourscore years behind him, he still looks forward. Sunday, March 30, marked the fiftieth anniversary in .Methodist ministry of Dr. C. M. Hawkins, pastor of the Laurinburg church and for merly at Rockingham. Dr. Hawkins also retains thebouy ant spirit of youth. He trips along the street like a man eager to meet Life around the corner. Out of the fullness of experience he voices his happiness in service and sees the world growing* better ev ery day. A few days ago Dr. J. M. Templeton of Cary had an article in the daily papers taking issue with some phases of the present vogue of Live at-Home philosophy. Dr. Tem pleton has behind him more than half a century of active service as an old-time coun try physician, a militant cru sader for prohibition and bet ter conditions on the farm. Time after time he has seen his hopes frustrated; Farmers Alliance, Populist party, Pro hibition party, Farmers Union —these have" risen,’ flourished and faded away without achieving what their support ers hoped and promised. Many of his former comrades have given up in despair, but Dr. Templeton still faces forward with all the courage and hope fulness of youth. Neither tem porary reverses nor encroach ing years can bring about his surrender. Bishop Cheshire has doubt less made many errors of judgment in his administra tion of diocesan affairs; Dr. Hawkins has never achieved that status of popular great ness that has/come to some younger men; we have seldom been able to agree with Dr. Templeton in his diagnosis and prescription for the eco nomic ills of the farmer. Their worth to North Carolina does not depend so much upon the material success they have achieved as it does upon the manner in which they have striven. After all, can there be any greater success than to come to a ripe old age and keep the eager optimism of youth; to come through trials and hardships and reverses, to see cherished hopes blasted and years of labor made 6f no avail, and still have the cour age to meet new issues in the spirit of the present and the future?
