Elkhart, Ind. 12 ridxr Viocnne art nlH rnrnl 1n I "-it recognition that Easter is a festival of spring. "While the Christian faith accepts it as a movable feast de pending on the time of th Paschal moon, it is always within the period when na ture is awaking from win ter to a renewal of life. Each day the sun rises earlier, its warmth drawing the frost from the ground. As if by magic the dull fields are veiled in tender green and j the flowers bud In the sheltered places. In the first days of human history the cave man rubbed dry sticks to gether to steal fire from the sun. When the spring melted the ice of winter, he bowed more profoundly to the great luminary in the sky as It appeared in the east, and later when he built his altars he renewed the fires when the sun turned northward. The word Easter is from the Saxon "Eostre," the name of the goddess of Bpring. "Eoster" lived in the east with the rising sun. She was th most gentle of all the deities of the pagan world. As sne trippea across the meadows the grass came out, the flowers blossomed, the ice was broken in the brooks, and the streams sang merrily. All the earth rejoiced, for the fairer seasons of the year were at hand. Significant of Resurrection. Each year Eostre was born again significant of the resurrection from the dead of the Christian faith. The young plants awoke to life from dry seeds, the chicks from the eggs, and everywhere in nature the springtide under the spell or Eostre Decame lovely after the winter's sleep. The Romans adopted the Saxon Eostre as their goddess Aurora, When the Christian fathers were naming the feasts of the church it was a wise thought that brought the old nature worship and the Easter resurrection Into harmony. The Emperor Constantino, at the beginning of the fourth century, re solved to fix the time of Easter teat it should not conflict with the Jewish Passover. To prevent disputes, he made the rules which were accepted at the Council of Nice in 325 A. D. The twenty-first day of March was known as the Vernal Equinox, the next full moon was the moon of Xisan, or the Jewish Passover, and the Lord's Day following was Easter Day. But If the full moon happened on a Sunday, Easter Day was the Sunday after that. Old Easter customs, while differing widely according to religions and lo calities, had some things in common. The Easter flower has always been sacred to altars. Today we speatt or the Easter lily, meaning the St. Jo seph lily, and in other parts of the world the daffodil, or tne narcissus, or the calla lily may be regard-sd a the Easter lily. The colored Easter eggs, as gay ae the Easter flowers In the fields, are universal. In Russia and in Paris, and in fact today in all large cities of the world, imitation eggs are made of confectionery, and jewelers go so far as to make eggs of gold and sil ver and to set them with gems for the Easter trade. Easter Symbols Universal. The Christian church introduced the most beautiful celebrations of all. Easter is the inspiring feast of the year and its celebration means a re newal of faith. Even in remote parts of the world, where priests and their little flock's assemble, the Easter lights burn on the altars and faithful congregations sing Easter carols with Joy. The most solemn celebration of all Is that held In the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem. Pilgrims as semble from every corner of Christen dom, and ascend the Via Dolorosa chanting prayers. Many attend th feet-washing ceremonies, and throngs haste to the church where devotion keeps them waiting from Good Friday until Saturday afternoon, when the Patriarch with unlighted torch enters the gloom of the sepulcher. They watch with bated breath for his return. No light flickers in tM darkness, then suddenly a blaze flames up, the torch is on fire and with a shout of thanksgiving the mul titude breaks into singing a glorious hymn of thanksgiving. Those nearest the altar eagerly snatch fire from the torch, candle after candle is lighted until every taper in the church is burning. The worshipers rise, the doom is dispelled, and they go forth into the gray of the morning greeting one another, "Christ is arisen!" meet ing the reply, "He Is arisen indeed!" Ceremonies at Rome. The festal ceremonies at Rome are most splendid. The Pope officiates at mass on that day and St Peter's la filled with cardinals, prelates, and dig nitaries from all parts of the world. The day is ushered in by firing can non from the Castle of St, Apgelo. The magnificent basilica is richly decorated, altars are newly ornament ed, the lights around St. Peter's tomb are burning, and the Pope is seated In his chair of state in vestments ablaze with gold. Beautiful Easter Carols. Easter carols are sung in all Chris tian lands. Some of the most beauti ful are those from the Tyrol, where singers go from house to house. Spain gives way to joy in fetes, and gifts are made to the Virgin, who is adorned with her best robes and jewelB at this time. Russians enjoy a gift tree, like our Christmas tree, while jew eled Easter eggs are exchanged in the imperial household. There Is a mystery about the ori gin of the Easter rabbit of Germany Egg-hunting in the forest, where grown people have hidden the colored eggs, 13 as popular as egg-roinng is on the WThite House grounds in Wash ington. In some places doves are lib erated at Easter, and it is quite gen eral to fill Easter baskets with flow ers, or cakes, and to make visits to renew good will among friends. A great deal of beautiful music haa been written for the Easter services, which have become elaborate occa sions in the churches. Many carols that are sung have been handed down by tradition and repeated from father to son. They frequently tell the New Testament story of the first Christian Easter morning when Christ rose from the tomb, and gave all human br ings faith in immortality.

FTER the wonderful mid night mass on the eve of Easter, when at 12 o'clock bells sounded within the church, and, as each one of the thousands assembled lighted his candle, the cry went up, "Christ is risen!" came the Easter morning ceremony in the court of the holy sepulcher. Ah, how gentle, how ten der, how touching, how vi tal It was, that simple greeting of the wonderful morning after the delirium and the fury of the holy fire! Robert Hichens says in the Century. All hearts were excited to frenzy by the holy fire. The Easter morning pro cession moved hundreds to tears, held them tensely silent. Instead of the blue dome, spangled with artifi cial stars, a faint blue sky was over our heads. Instead of the glare of the torches, the sunbeams fell mildly upon us. Instead of the yelling multi tudes, we heard the sound of the won derfui bells. They began to peal forth just before the procession entered the court from the city. Down below me I saw tears stream ing over the seamed faces of many Russians as they signed themselves, kissed one another, told one another, "Christ is risen!" answering to the triumphant proclamation of the bels, which, unwearied, reiterated their marvelous message to the children of men. And the canvasses in blue and red and gold came slowly into the court, and a man carrying the cross, and boys in red and gold with swing ing lamps on chains, and many priests In black. And there followed a priest with his arms full of flowers, and be hind him another bearing on high the risen Christ crowned with a halo of gold and framed in a glory of blos soms. Then there rose from the thousands of pilgrims a cry of sweet exulta tion, and the bells seemed to grow louder as they told Jerusalem that the marble house was empty, that the stone had been rolled away. The bishops appeared in pale yellow, pearl color and gold, all holding lighted candles. And last of all came Dam- lanos, bearing a staff and a jeweled picture of the risen Christ. The pro cession stopped. The bells were si lent. There was a pause. Then the patriarch took a step forward, gazed at the immense crowd of adoring pil grims, lifted the Jeweled picture of Christ, held it out toward them and said, "Christ Is risen!" As his voice died away the priest with the flowers raised his arms and showered blossoms over the crowd; the bells pealed forth again; the pro cession moved on and the pilgrims, eagerly lighting their candles and em bracing one another, closed in behind, crying, "Christ is risen! Christ is risen!" And so into the darkness of the great church, quietly, softly, the pro cession gradually vanished. The gloom was lit up by the candles of priests and pilgrims. Through the doorway I saw Damlanos in his gorgeous vest ments sink humbly down to kiss the stone of unction. Then the Russians, weeping with joy, moved forward and hid him from my sight. HE lily is, in the great na tions of the world, being considered as important nowadays, on account of its symbolism, as the holly or the evergreen. Indeed, there seems to be little dif ference between the Im portance accorded to Christ mas and that given to Eas ter. Each stands In its sym bolism for a deep religious event, and each in Its place holds a significance not to be filled by the other. It is regretted by some people that an observance such as the Easter festival had its inauguration in a cere mony that was an outgrowth of a pagan festival. But to the broad minded the fact appears as an evi dence of the lasting traits of man, re curring in different ages, and modified to suit the conditions of the times. The twentieth century celebration Is the modern evolution of heathen Ideals influenced by those of the Christian religion. From time memorial man has celebrated birth of spring the passing of gloomy days of winter. Easter, through the happy initiative of the Emperor CenBtantlne in the fourth century, was celebrated not on the day of the Jewish Passover, but the Sunday after. The variation of the date depends upon the fact that the vernal equinox, of the 21st day of March, is the point from which the first Sunday after the full moon la reckoned. The first observance of Easter dates back as far as 68 A. D. From that time it has meant much to Christians, and in the Joyous rebirth of Christ there is a general heartfelt resolution to emerge into the springlike fresh ness of newer Ideals and better things.

If in my unskilled way I can trace the faces, note some of the soulful utterances, and limn the effect which contact with the meek spirits over at the low red cottage near the hill, In spired In me, twill make me Joyous of heart, and stir my soul with thanks. And inasmuch as Easter is symbolical of spirituality, budding after a winter of worldlyism, and each Easter we blossom forth anew with a desire for more spiritual ity, it's comforting that in thought, at least, I may turn to the scene which uplifted my alms and ambitions. It's because of this that I try to coax back to mind the incidents of genial good fellowship which humanized the occa sion of which I am about to speak. Right after sunrise there assembled In the crowded combination room In the low frame dwelling, known for miles as Justins', thirteen of us, eight children and five adults. It was a rare company. The old grandfather, slightly bent a luxury of bushy hair turned white hands thin and knotty, always outstretched in welcome, and Janie, the dearest little minx that ever reigned, at his side, coaching him if he should fail to discern the speak er, graciously acted as hosts, and made us all feel very much at home. The atmosphere was so peaceful there that one could not help but be drawn to the others present. Like an en chanted fairy's, Janie's golden locks shed a splendor all about the room, but with this glimmer was outshone by the illuminated countenance of the grandfather which radiated the light from within. Weeks ahead, Janie had confided to me her design to get all the really poor children to come up to her place for some Easter joy. To use her own phrase, "I want to give all the poor kids a lot of fun on Easter morn." In this I consented to act as procurer to the extent of inducing one little crip ple to promise for my sake that was the way I put it to accompany me to Justins'. This little chit of a girl, Agnes, was weary of heart because of the thought that her own widowed mother, whose life's blood was going out fast, could not muster enough strength to attend, but she did not evince any sign of agitation for fear that it might cause a gloom to settle on the enthusiasm of the others. I have always believed that one of the happy moments in Agnes life was when Janie embraced her in her arms, and literally smothered her in her small bosom with all the warmth that she could exude. Hardly had the word been given 1 that all was ready for the egg hunt, when I offered my arm to Grandpa, who, with his eyes always turned in my direction, from habit, nodded a gracious acceptance as he suited action- to the word and hitched his arm Into mine. Off we strode. The whole company, divided off in twos, threes and fours, scampered over the ground, examining every foot of soil to locate the nests of colored eggs, chocolate bunnies and other goodies which had beet secreted the day before by John Choppe, who alone did not join in the search. One moon-faced, round, chub by broth of a boy, failing to extract any information from John Choppe as to the whereabouts of some of the "plants," was wandering off by him self, sulkingly, when there suddenly was great rejoicing and shouting. Far away yonder by the sharp el bow in the stream where the enor mous chestnut tree branches hang low In that secluded spot, Janie car rying a little tot in her arms and lead ing caressingly my crippled friend, Agnes was seen, holding high over her head what looked as a particularly rich find. It was a large rooster in chocolate. Immediately from every part of the field came groups of anx: lous eyes who wanted to examine the Bnd at close range. There was great glee. After all the eggs that had been hidden by John Choppe had been un sovered, and there had been a gen irous distribution of the plunder, the company started to retrace its steps I WHY HE WAS LATE. "What rnde you so late? I met Smithson." "Well, that is no reason why he should be an hour late getting home to supper. " "I know, but I asked him how he was feeling, and he insisted on telling me about his stomach trouble. "Did you tell him to take Chamber Iain's Tablets?" "Sure, that is what he needs."

It was here that Grandpa Justins drew us all nearer to him. He stood up in the center, all alone, and asked us to surround him, and be seated on the soft turf. His voice was like a song in a minor key. "I have long yearned for this op portunity to say a word to you, and this occasion is most favorable to thought and meditation." He was not preachy. He spoke in that gentle tone for which he was known all his life. "I want to converse with my self and with you," he continued, "and make it possible for us to live closer to the Inner life. I want to be more eonscious that I am worshiping right that I am using the God-given grace tor snencmg sunering and sorrow, and strengthening the weak and the meek." His state of soul was of that delicate softness. As it is difficult to be happy and b away from divine, influence, is it not best to creep up as close to the foun tain head of the precious love of th Master and Savior of Man? It was this thought that I have carried with me since that sermon of Grandpa Jus tins on that memorable Easter morn, Don't take our word for it inspect the new "Shield Brand" models for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
