Rationalists I'lnlin Mint Phrlut'u death was an allegory that had grown out of this paschal observance and that as tho lamb took away tliu sins of tho pooplo ho Christ retires onted n similar vicarious atonement. Thoy hold this view partly because of tho claim that In tho old Hindu myths tho history of Christ Is fore told, Krishna, tho incarnation of do. tv. havlnir beon born In n Inwlvnlnf-... crowned with light, was anolntod by a humiliated woman, endowed with tho power or healing tho sick, either shot or crucified, sunt Into boll and lifted to hoavou, A temple orocted to him at Mathura has tho form of a cross ami ho Is palutod as cruclllod, crowned, with holes In his hands and sides. Holders of those views Identifying Christ with Krishna and with the nun gods of tho oust aro coming around to tho Christian belief, how ovor, so far as to acknowledge 'that there was an actual Christ; that ho was n bravo and powerful reform er, a man of uliniuonro nud high Id eals, a magnetic healer and that he came to his death either because re formers aro generally (...popular with tholr own conurutloii or nu it niierl. flee, tho Jews In their earlier worship having offered living sacrltlces on the cross to the suit god. Tho halo, still represented in the Monkish ton sure, Is hold to stand for tho rays of tho sun. Whatever ho tho beliefs as to tho personality of tho central llguro lu tho tragedy that Is commomorated at this season, there Is no doubt that soma of tho Easter observances had tholr origin fur back beforo tho Christian era. Ostora, tho Saxon goddess, was but a descendant from tho Egyptian lsis, and tho coming of spring was always colobratod with rejoicings. Tho suu of Eustur was tho suu that aroso from Its gravo of wlntor and nscoudod towards tho ion 1th onco more, bringing life and brightening all nature lu Its course. SOCIAL CALENDAR Sunday.
