JUNIUS HENRI BROWNE ON THE RE LIGIOUS FESTIVAL Causes That Have Conduced to Its Grow Favor Among; Protestants The If or xnanixing of Creeds and the Fellowship of Creedits-The Doctrine of Immortality. Copyright, 18OT, by the Author. O RELIGIOUS fes tival has Rained so much in favor with the Christian churches . in this OQnntrv x nf Kwm f years as Easter, commemorating the res urrection of Jesus. The day, or what was believed to be such (there was a wide difference as to the date between the early Christians of the east and west), was solemnly celebrated for cen turies in the old world as the most mo mentous of miracles because it alone es tablished, in their-eyes, the absolute truth of Christianity. But here, strange to say, Easter was hardly observed at all, except by the Roman Catholics and Episcopalians, who have naturally much in common, as the latter are wholly de rived from the former until the second half of the present century. Now nearly all the various Protestant sects celebrate . Easter with great zeal and fervor, as it would seem they should have always done, to be consistent with their faith. As Jesus is the. sole founder of Christianity, how could, they afford to neglect at any time the day, when ever it may have been, on which he, to their mind, rose from the dead? The one explanation is that many of the sects, re garding Easter 40 or 50 years since as a Roman Catholic holy day.refused to cele brate it The old Puritans of New Eng land, with most of . their immediate de scendants, particularly so considered it. And they could not theologically share with what they called the scarlet wom an anything that she might sanction. Not a little of their religion was to de test "popery" with the whole force of their pious Bonis. Many of the later Protestants have been similarly affected. But this feeling has been steadily wear ing off, as is shown by all the denomi nations in the observance today of Eas ter. Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists. Unitarians. TTni. versalists, commemorate the occasion, noxamy in cities, by a jspecial servioe, with elaborate musio and lavish decora tions of flowers. This is another tend ency of the time to the gradual har monizing of creeds and the fellowship of creedists. , Since theology as such is generally conceded to be declining the world over, particularly in the rcDublic. the widpr and wider acceptance of Easter may ap pear 10 De exceptional. Reflection, how ever, will corroborate, instead of con tradicting, the opinion. . A great many church communicants who are counted as orthodox do not believe in the divin ity of Jesus that is, in his being the son of God, coequal with him. The Unitarians for example, renounce that belief altocether. Bnt thev hnM Mm tn be the best, the purest, the noblest, the iuugAaiuu VIA 1UC11, OUU, 111 HUCI1 8111 W3, divine. They rank themselves and they are ranked as Christians nevertheless. Christians are, in any liberal inter pretation, all who love, admire, revere the life and teachings of Jesus, his hu manity or divinity being of minor con sequence. The Scriptural injunction about believing in him has reference to this, not, as they claim, to any theologic assumption, as Lord or Saviour. It is essentially his human character, it is thought, which has brought Easter into o ardent and general favor. Jesus is not wrapped up in form and dogma, is not connected with anv ecclesiaHtia biaa or patristic subtlety. Bis record in the New; Testament is clear, consistent, convincing. nracticaL all sroodneRa. baa. riflce, fulfillment of the highest duly. - . JfiveiyDoay in civilisation, be be or thodox or heterodox, theist or infidel, skeptic or devotee, esteems and admires Jesus. He is an incarnation of all the virtues, not abstract, metaphysical, sub limated, symbolic or allegorical, as are so many Biblical creatures. He appeals to and answers the needs of humanity. He really represents an anthropomorphic deity, as so many of us try to represent wnat we conceive to De uod. Jesus stands for huiaanitarianism and ideal morality.' He is our spiritualized, glori fied brother whom we would resemble if we might, and whom we elevate into the Benith of onr afTentirmn nnd nonim. tions. He always typifies what is high est, broadest, grandest in our possible selves, the best that is attainable in our conojition, and jet wholly freedom ob- scurity or mysticism.' Who has ever aeara any one complain that the nature of Jesus is unintelligible? No wonder that most Christians have "turned from the idea of the Father to tie presenta tion of the Son, the embodiment of char ity, the ultimate of beneficence. The majority of thoughtful persons have ceased to ponder the supernatural, which defies comprehension. They are employing themselves instead with the natural, still occupying immeasurable spaoe and promising to elude complete apprehension for acres in mm will ever remain an ideal, albeit so very uuiiittu, ior man, strive as he may, dis closes at present no possibility of match ing him. But man, who has existed and improved for hundreds of thousands of years, will continue to improve for tens of thousands of years longer, backed by the law of eternal progress, and may finally reach the plane on which the good Jesus stands. Then he will have solved the mysteries of nature, and the supernatural, as now named, will be superfluous. The human and the divine will be absorbed in one another and will be virtually synonymous. The plan and purpose of the universe will be in some mahnef disclosed, and faith be supplant ed by knowledge. This will be the spiritual acquirement long foretold by the transcendental. - Another reason, doubtless, why Easter appeals so much more to the mass of Protestants today than it formerly did is its immediate association with the doctrine of immortality. The doctrine is the same that was taught 19 centuries since, but as time has gone on the mere doctrine has become less abstract, more and more concrete, taking the form of feeling. The great majority of enlight ened beings in this era undeniably long for conscious immortality, in part bo cause life here lias palled , upon them, grown grievous to bear. Through science and philosophy having been made skep tical of the future, they have as a result been more eager fox it. While they may not believe at all in the di vinity of Jesus, they identify him with the doctrine, and such is the incongruity of man they adhere to the observance of Easter because it in some way an swers to what they suppose to be their psychal need. Strictly speaking, Easter and all its concomitants belong exclusively to the Roman church. Its celebration is in complete harmony with its rites , and methods, which are opposed to the sim pler, severer creed of the Protestants. The Catholic church regards the in creasing love of form and display in the heretical denominations as an evidence of their gradual return to the pristine fold, something of which it has never despaired. At any rate it is easy to see why, from spiritual and social reasons, the ceremonial observation of Easter stead ily grows in favor. Junius Henri Browne. . Sports at Baater Time. INCE the begin ning of the c h u r o h sports and games have characterized the Easter observ ance. In this country we are familiar with the egg rolling games on Easter Monday on the White House grounds in Wash ington, but in , ! ' other countries there are Easter sports and games quite unknown to us. The Easter festival of our forefathers covered a period of 15 days. The week beginning with Easter Sunday was al most entirely given over to Bport and games and general merrymaking. An odd feature of , the old time celebration was that of heaving or lifting, the "heaved" sitting in a chair decorated with white ribbons. Easter Monday and Easter Thursday were known as hcav-. ing days, the women sitting in a chair on Monday and . the men on Tuesday. Those heaving or lifting the chair were expected to life it three times and then kiss the occupant, who, in turn, kissed them. To the regret of the lads and las sies in the districts where the novel cere mony was once performed, the custom has long since died out. I Handball was formerly one of the most common of Easter games, and at one time a sort of water; tilting contest was much in vogue.. Young men would drift about in boats without oars and allow the craft to. drift against a shield suspended in midstream, striking it as with a lance. If the lance was broken against the shield, it was considered a good stroke and won applause, but if the shield was missed or the spear remained intact the owner of the lance invariably lost his balance and tumbled into the water. In Switzerland a peculiar game is played at Easter. Large baskets filled with bran are placed in a circle some where on a free field or public place. Then as many rows of 100 eggs as there are competitors are laid, each egg a foot or so apart from the next, the rows radiating from the baskets to an equal distance. ! The task ; is to put the 100 eras, one by one. into the basket with out breaking any, and who does it in tne snortest space or time is the winner. In Moscow, St Petersburg and other Russian cities swings and merry go rounds are erected for the festival season on the boulevards, . and all sorts of. amusements prevail in the concert and dance halls. Coan poser Tours, English papers announce the death, after a long illness, of Berthold Tours. the well known musician and composer. Mr. Tours was a Dutchman by birth, bavins been barn in Rnttnrrf He studied at Leipsio and Brussels, wens to isngland in 1861 and for a good many years served as a violinist in Costa's orchestra. For the last 10 years, however, he had occupied the responsible post of reader and editor to the great firm of Novel In A fV in which capacity he did an immense amount or userui work in the "reduc tion" of Orchestral Hcoren tn thair forte form.

Wo were about stranded, and' there was no use in trying to blink the fact The doctor had sent us to Bermuda, and the last thing he had said to mo was that if my mother couldn't get well there she could not anywhere. This is What made it seem so hard, after a stay or tnree months, when I found our mon ey nearly gone and mother yet weak, though convalescent Another Bix months, we felt, would bring the ines timable blessing of renewed health. But how were we to stay when there seemed to be nothing to stay on? While cogitating this problem one sunny day in January I strolled into a secluded vale lying between the high road from St Georges to Hamilton and the southern shore of a little islet Like so many of those charming dells in this cluster of isles and islets, it was filled with a semitropical vegetation, with or ange and lemon trees. Txtmnm-nnntM bananas and figs. The hill crests around were covered with odorous cedars, their skirts fringed with lan tan as in showy bloom, and the pocket of earth between the ridges was as rich and fertile' as the hill slopes were 6terile. t Wending my way through this bit of tropical paradise, I came upon a straw thatched shantv. or rather a primitive dwellings of this character, ai me neaa or a little slope running down to a crey?ntic beach of snowy sand lying between outcropping coral ledges. An old man sat in the doorway of the principal shanty smoking a long stemmed pipe, such a rire aa Tnnnvann loved to smoke, known in the old coun try as a "churchwarden." None but a philosopher or a poet at anv rate, a man of leisure and calm temperament smoKes this sort of pipe, and I knew that he must conseeraentlv ha ntifi ra the other, and hence safe to assume well worth the knowing, j And my conjecture proved rm fnr On accepting his hospitable invitation suemer nis numDie aweiung I found it filled with all sorts of natural hisrm-v objects, such as shells, stuffed birds and ariea plants, in short, my aged ac quaintance was a naturalist and. tut I afterward learned,' a skilled one, well xnown ail over the islands.

S He had lived here 60 years, he told me ever since he had run away from an English ship and had never left his home for a single night His little farm had cost him al most nothing, his wants were few, and xrom the soil he bad obtained an easy though frugal living. I: It did not take me Ions to detrct be neath his rude exterior one of nature's noblemen, and, warmed by 'the kindly gleam of his eyes, I soon had told him of my present trouble. He looked me over very thoughtfully and finally said between the whiffs of his pipe: "Lady, the Lord must have sent you to me, be cause, of all the people living in the Ber mudas, I alone perhaps can help you. I haven't much, only my little farm here and these rude huts, but if you will accept one of the latter as a tem porary dwelling it is yours for as long as you may wish, to stay. As for food, if .you can put up with my fare of milk and sweet potatoes, with now and then a bit of meat nd all the fish youjw ant, I to be caucht in the bav. come. No, don't thank me," ho said as I tried to express my gTatitude. "I have been thinking of making some one this samo offer for the privilege cf pleasant company, for I am getting old and have lived too long alone. Indeed you will do me a favor by accepting my offer." The very tacit day we had removed our belongings to one of the huts, which promised to serve us as well as if it were a palatial mansion in that favored land where one may pass the entire day out of doors. As the physician had or dered my mother to spend all the time possible in the open air, it mattered lit tle what kind of a roof tree sheltered us at night And, so far as I was concerned, it was a joy to wander in the shade of those fragrant trees and along the beach, where shells of every hue were abundant and where the crystal waters covered the gardens of sea plants. Seeing that I liked .to work about the flower garden and knowing that he might speak to me frankly, my aged friend suggested that I make an attempt to wrest a livelihood from the soil. "I am too old," he said, "to embark in any new adventures; but, if you want to try it, why there's the garden, with as rich a soil as anywhere, and here are all the tools and seeds you need. You seem like a strong and sensible young lady. Nobody need know what you are doing, as my place is so secluded, and all the time vonr mntbr will k getting her health while you are gain ing strength and perhaps making money. There are three or four thing9 that pay here in Burmuda. These are potatoes, onions, arrowroot and Easter lilies. The first three are too difficult for you to manage, but the last it seems to mo, would be easy to cultivate and pleasant to raise. Now, one corner of that plot is already planted with Easter bulbs, and if you will take the care of them off my hands I shall feel greatly obliged and will divide the profits with you into the bargain." Womanlike, I jumped at this generous offer, and, to make a long story short, tended those lilies so assiduously that even the first season's profits were very satisfactory. The second season's were much more so, and the third and fourth found us with a surplus of cash to our credit and half the little vale planted with bull. ' Our good old friend died the fourth year of our stay, but left us a life inter est in his estate for-a small considera tion, and we continued in the occupa tion which we had found so pleasant, and which premised to be so profitable. My mother regained her health and from choice worked with me in the gar den, while I myself had become so at tached to the place and so conrentml at my labors that I doubt if anything in tne woria could draw me away.

At this season, when, one and all, we are ready to admire the latest creation "m v uvw ur to exclaim over the loveliness of a dream in tints of rose executed by some - other Pa risian authority on bonnets, it be comes peculiarly instructive to re view the past and to ponder upon the conceits and fancies that elic ited similar "Ohs!" and "Aha!" from our ownlipsadcade back and from 1871. those of an older crener&Hnn a m of a century since. In making such a re view one fact becomes apparent before all others. Beauty la a relH n torn and, let one-be as axthetic as she may,' ucrwnaooi ntnoss is largely governed by the fashion, of the day.

But it is doubt ful, nevertheless, if a future generation w" no laugn at nseven as we laugh at thom who have irone before. "Tb. is in style is pretty," said a young wo man with enthusiasm not long ago, and, while we may smile with indulgence over the remark, it really voices the opinion of most humankind, for men as well as women have thoirfnir.in .n if they have evolved a more sensible style of dress it is due rather to the exigen cies of business life, from feminine world is only now beginning to suffer, rather than to uv nmnnrir. on their part But at Easter the Easter hnnnot above all things, the one that looms up upon the wom an's horizon and holds her spell bound, be she ever so advanced or ever so ardent an advocate of re form, and a study of such as have been ' presented for the past quar ter of a century becomes as di verting as it is instructive.

Shoul ders had U-en broadened by full aleevea and bodices amplified in many ways. With them came also the hat which gave an air of youtufnlros to tho wear er and defied the observer to mark the passage of time. Few women, exct pt those in mccrning and the nnquestiou- amy elderly dames, wore bonnets for promenade.
