Serv ices for the evening will be entirely of a concert nature.

Easter Celebration Traced Back \ To Time of Pagan Anglo-Saxons \ By PAT ERICKSON \ It all started way back in Anglo-Saxon times with a pagan god dess, "Eostre,” the spirit of spring. That is, this business of wearing bright plumage and celebrating ) our' otherwise solemn Easter day in a jubilant fashion, which now | more than ever is coming into vogue. "Eostre” was the object of an annual spring festival where ex uberant joy reigned everywhere. It was one of those things which \ would not be weeded' out, and so | I upon the fixation of the time of the Christian celebration of Eas ter by the council of Niceaea in 325 A.D., the pagan festival was combined with the Christian to ' form the rites we now recognize. Happiness, and a general new burst of energies, ruled supreme at “Eostre’s” court, and those to [ gether with* the idea that at last I spring' has come, (if it doesn’t rain.) Easter tomorrow starts with the j sunrise s e r v ic e in McArthur court. | Bright new garments will be ex J hibited everywhere, and if it’s a sunshiny day like Easter should I be, and usually isn’t, “Eostre” j l should be satisfied with her mod- j ern followers. Send the Emerald home. Your I folks will enjoy reading it.
