1 TxiE wil:jington liessengeh, suimjJif, EASTER-DAY. 'Origin of This Christian FtlTal It Dates ft.Baett to the Days of the Appostles Ap propriate Services and Fine Music; Ve greet our patrons today with the r salutation of the early Christians on this glad morning; "Christ Is risen!" More than four-fifths of all the Christians in the world will gather to gether in their churches today, to cel ebrate with prayer, and hymn and holy -sacarament the Resurrection of the Xard Jesus Christ.' This' festival of the Resurrection is nearly as old as the Christian church. To c,an easily follow it back to the days of those who learned the Gospel from the lips of the Messed appostles. . For several hundred years the Chris tian church was divided as to the day for the celebration of Easter. Part thought it ought' to be held always on the third day after the Jewish Pass over, making no account of the day of the week; others thought it ought to be celebrated on the first Sunday after the .Passover, making Easter, - the . annual festival of the ; Resurrection, coincide with Sunday, the weekly festival of the Resurrection. This latter opinion pre vailed; and it became the law and cus tom of the church by a canon of the "first General Council of Nicaea. Easter, -ever since has been the first "Sunday after the first full moon after the ver mal exquinox, the 21st day of MarciL There is no doubt about the time of our 'Saviour's Resurrection; for He was crucified on the Jewish passover, a fes tival of the Israelites, which has been -celebrated without fail for over three thousand years. The date for any year -can be easily fixed. If any one will look on page xxvl of the Prayer, Book of the Episcopal Church, he will find the exact dates for Easter day from the year 1786 to the year 2013. The Festival of the Resurrection was called by the early Christian writers the "Queen of r easts, tne reasi oi joy. xne mrw- tian imperors released all save capital prisoners that day ; Christian men gave large alms to the poor; and the whole week was one of religious joy and praise and feasting. Our word Easter was given to the Festival of the Resurrection at the time our Saxon ancesters were converted to Christianity. They had been accus tomed to celebrate every spring the fes ia1 nt the coddpss Ostera. Her name came from the old saxon word oster or osten, which meant rising; and her fes tival was probably, the rejoicing of the people at the breaking up of the north ern winter, and the rising up of all tunings into life again; and so. when they came to substitute for the old pa gan the new Christian festival., they kept the name Easter thinking it not -of; the Lord Jesus from the dead. ' We are glad to think. that the Prot- ! estant world are casting aside their prejudices, turn ate uumms uivic more to centre on this blessed daytheir graterui recollections of the fact of - facts the keystone in the arch of the -Christian faith, the Resurrestlon from the dead of our! Lord Jesus Christ. ? "" The various churches at wrhich Eastei; - services will -be held today were beauti fully decorated yesterday, and, as usual thf musical and choral pro grammes at some of the churches will rbe a prominent and enjoyable feature of the services.

Henry, of Long Creek, Pen der county, sent The Messenger yester day the finest strawberries we have laid eyes on this season. They were of the . Lady Thompson variety. Forty-two .'of them filled a- quart basket, and they were beautiful in color and symetrfcal in shape. Mr. Henry Is making a fine success of berry grow ing, and it seems that the Long Creek section is peculiarly adapted to berry growing. Mr. J. H. Mallard, of this city, who visited his place, tells us that he counted 119 berries and blooms on a single plant. One boy on Friday picked 100 quarts in; sivty-five minutes, for which he was paid 1 cent per quart. Mr. Henry has just com menced shipping, and up . to yesterday had shipped only sixty-nine crates, re ceiving $14 per crate for- them. He had t a telegram saying the demand., could not be supplied, and advising him to rush shipments. He expects .to ship 200 crates every day this week. We are informed that Long Creek was the first point in Pender county from which berries were shipped this' season. Messrs, J. A. and R, E. L. Brown, of Chadfbourn, are also making a splendid success of berry growing. Mr. J. C. Scarborough, of Charlotte,- who came to the city from Chadbourn yesterday, showed us two oaskets of the Messrs. Brown's berries, and they were as large and luscious as the Long Creek ones. They were also Lady Thompson's. Mr. Scarborough tells us that the Messrs. Brown on yesterday had sixty-five hands in their fields picking iberries. America's leading Corset, W. B.,- and Butterick Patterns for sale at Haar's Music House. Political Bevolation In the North. ExMayor S. H. Fishblate returned yesterday morning from New York where he went to again consult his. physician about his eye. The improve ment of his eye is marked and he says this is the most satisfactory trip he ever made in this connection. He is assurred that his sight will be entirely restored by next fall. Mr.Fishblatetells -us that,, whild -in New York he talked, with a great many politicians and leading business men. and learned that; there has been no such a revolution in the politics of this country as has ' taken place since the presidential election. .; He says the feel ing in New - York is that there is no question but that the democratic party will sweep this country at the next presidential election, and that if Wil liam J. .Bryan is living four years from now he will be president of the United States. Mr. Fishblate gave as the cause for the revolution that is taking place that the promised "wavp of prosperity" is - too long delayed in following the "Advance Agent o!f Prosperity," a, phrase that was attached to McKinley's name during the last campaign. An other element of dissatisfaction is the Dingleytariff bill. Mr. Fishblate declares that the thing for the democrats to do is to heal their differences and unite their ranks for next year's campaign, and get their forces all in line by 1900, when the next presidential election is to. take place.

Manning, proprietor ot the Atlantic View hotel, Wrightsville, writes The Messenger that he has re ceived several letters from" delegates who are coming to the Southern 'Bap tist convention, making inquiries for rates 'and asking what facilities there will be for going to and fro between Wilmington and Wrightsville during the session of the convention. Ono gentleman writes from Atlanta under date of April lth, and as there seems to be a desire on the part of many of the delegates to stop at the seaside, wq would suggest that the 'Wilmington Seacoast Railroad Company run a suit able schedule to accommodate the visit ors, provided the number wishing to stop at the sound and beach will jus tify the expense. We have no doubt, however, that the railroad company will make a schedule that will be per fectly satisfactory. Just received at Johnson & Fore's, new - Table Cloths, Napkins, Doilies.
