I SOU HISTORY ABOUT AND EASTER Crista and Slgniflcance of tie Various Holy Days Preceding Easter. Old Cuetome, Belief sad Kellvioaa IUtM - Taken M pb. Foundation for a New Buperatructure What Eaeter Iteelf . Stands fori New Life Some Ways of Celebrating the Day Now cornea the last week In Lent, called Hely Week, In countries where the Roman Catholic church : predominates, and in sections of , this, country where that denomination and the Episcopal church are strong, it is a- very solemn occasion, and devout people deny themselves in various ways as pennance for sins, and even those who pay little attention to the church during the remainder of the year conform to some extent to the influences. ; This whole Lenten scheme was a cre ation of the Cburch of Borne, devised by the Monks and approved by the Pope and the Biebops several centuries after Christ. t' It is all symbolical, founded upon lncl dents of the Saviour's life, sufferings and death. 1 The - Romans, and Indeed all other peoples in those days, save the Jews, were brought up la idolatry and accustomed to . worship according to elaborate forms with great pomp and splendor. They could not comprehend the simple heart-religion of. the early Christians, so it was necessary to build up for them a new fabric with all the ornate accessories that drew to the did religion. All known sources were drawn I Tnataamant as we know it), the Temnle t rites at Jerusalem, Bomau and Creek mythology, tradition " and fable. To these were added the imagery of the most vivid imaginations, and out of it alt emattated a mosaic Sufficiently ornate and beautiful to at least please and in terest the masses of thoss times. And this Is what has come down to ; through the Soman ; Catholic church, . though In a greatly modified form', and has been used as the basis of . many of ths denominations which have sprung from the original protestante against the old Romanism. Neither Lent nor Easter are annlver earies, as many suppose, and save f&e Roman (Catholic) and English, (Epis V copal) churches little attention Is paid 1 to Lent, but . all unite In celebrating Easter, which commemorates Christ ri en from the dead, aid it Is therefore " the most Joyful cburch festival day of the year. Elsewhere in this paper it is inter , estlngly told bow the day got its name of Easter. As ws have said, ths enticeLenten sea son is symbolical. It begins -with Ash "Wednesday, on which day the priests of the Roman Catholic church mark the foreheads of the devout with ashes in Imitation of the markingof the foreheads of the Children of Israel with blood in Egypt. The forty days of Lent commemorate the forty days of the Saviour in the wil derness, and while it does not come In natural sequence, it is fitting to immedi ately follow it with the rejoicings of . Easter.- ; V, ;y.-;. '., Without noting the jess Important Lenten church days, which are observed only by the,Cathollc and high Episcopal churches, we come down to Holy Week. The week has a mixture of comemora- tive dajs, beginning with Palm Sunday (tomorrow) which of course everybody knows comemorates ths entry of Christ into Jerusalem. In the Catholic and many Episcopal churches palms are d if tributed to the attendants, and ths de vout Catholic would regard it as a calamity not to receive a palm. Annnnciatlon Tuesday commemorates tLe announcement by the Acjrel Gabriel tj the Tir-in Uary, telllDg her of the rcarcation of Christ.

It does not corns on the same dats every sear,. : It ,does not al ways corns in the same . month either. But it comes ths first Sunday alter- the fiivt full moon after ths twenty-first oi March,. ' ''. "' '' ' ' :'; Easter Is regarded as a holiday with many who like to make a display of their tray costumes, especially their Easter bonnets. v " ' . In Lima holiday lasts for a while. ' Ths Sunday previona to Ash Wednes day opens the carnival for them. : Dur ing this time people play all kinds of tricks or jokes on each other.- ; A dentist never has a job of dentistry too delicate or difficult for some one to spoil his work in some manner if they choose to do so. Tbey like to give each other a good saturating with perfumed water, which tbey store up in au mau- ner of hollow images for this purpose. It would be dangerous for you to even walk ths streets without your umbrella with yon, unless yon wanted a per fumed bath, even if yon were a stranger. No carpet or furniture is too good to be spoiled during the carnival. In Eng- and they have what is called a hare scramble. This Is on a piece of land be queathed to the rector and his succes sors, provided they make arrangements for this paettime annually. These : fes tivities aleays take place 6a Monday at -J ter Easter, and some of the implements have been kept for thirty years ; forr this purpose. - ; -jt - ; Some people seem to be more devoted to the service of God during lent than at any other part of the year. Tbey will go to their churches and hold prayer and communion service at any appointed hour, especially very early in the morn iug. And soms will not eat plentifully of delicate food all during lent and try to live a life of fasting and prayer until Easter and then have a feast and prayer, the feast consisting largely of effsrs cooked in every way Imaginable. They prefer eggs because it is aaia eggs repre sent Christ's resurrection. As Christ rose from the silent grave and brought with Bira new life and consolation to ths be reaved, so the chicken will come from the seemingly lifeless egg.. - The custom of sending flowers to an absent friend at Easter is steadily in creasing, more and mors as ths Easter gifts prevail, more and more it becomes ome manner of flowers. They are sent in boxes tied with ribbon that match with the flowers td friends, both far and near. All kinds oi sowers tnat grow are sent to the sick, the sorrowful, the poor and the inmates of hospitals. It is most likely there is no touch of Easter or sun shine, except what flowers bring to many little sufferer. Different flowers are said to represent different things, but the lillies are Easter's favorite flower, 1. cause they are the symbol of divinity, "of purity, of abundance, of love and most complete in charity and perfection. The delicately beautiful lilly of the valley is known as ths ladder to heaven. ; Ydn see that people have different ways of celebrating the resurrection of Christ, but we should endeavor to make others happy at all times, and especially at Easter because the resurrection gave such hope to the world. It was ths triumph of love and unselSibhness. If Christ had not loved us so unselSahly and patiently, perhaps Ee ould not have come back from the rrave. The resurrection Is an every day leton forus.
