An Easter Creed. I trust in the living God, Father Al mighty, Maker of heaven and earth and of all things and creatures visible and invisible. I trust in the kindness of his law and the goodness of his work. I will strive to love him and keep his law and see his work while I live. I trust in the nobleness of human na ture, in the majesty of its faculties.the fulness of its mercy, and the joy of its love. And I will strive to love my neighbor as myself, and even when I cannot will act as if I did. I will not kill or hurt any living creature need lessly, nor destroy any beautiful thing, but will strive to save and comfort all gentle life and guard and perfect all natural beauty on earth. I will strive to raise my own body and soul daily into all the higher powers of duty and happiness, not in rivalship or conten tion with others, but for the help, de light and honor of others and for the joy and peace of my own life. John Ruskin, The Easter Festival. "The world itself keeps Easter Dav," begins an old carol in recognition that Easter is a festival of spring. While the Christian faith accepts it as a mov able feast depending on the time of the Paschal moon, it is always within the period when nature is awakening from winter to a renewal of life. Each day the sun rises earlier, its warmth draw ing the frost from the ground. As if by magic the dull fields are veiled in green and the flowers bud in the shel tered places. The Christian church introduced the most beautiful celebrations of all. Eas ter is the inspiring feast of the year, and its celebration means a renewal of faith. Even in' remote parts of the world, where preacher and their little flocks 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 the 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 the darkness.then suddenly a blaze flames up, the torch is on fire and with a shout of thanksgiving the multitude breaks into singing a glorious hvmn of thanks giving. Those nearest the altar eager ly snatch fire from the torch, candle after candle is lighted until every ta per in the church is burning. The worshipers rise, the gloom is dispelled and they go forth into the gray of the J morning greeting one another, "Christ ! is arisen 1" meeting the reply, "He is arisen indeed !" A great deal of beautiful music has been written for the Easter services, which have become elaborate occasions in the churches. Many carols that are sung have been handed down by tra dition and repeated from father to son. They frequently tell the New Testa ment story of the first Christian Easter morning when Christ rose from the tomb, and gave all human beings faith in immortality. The Philathea Convention.
