Vegeta- tion springs to life. The seeds of last year, scattered by the winds, bring forth the wild flow- ers. Winter is passing and all nature once more comes to life, There you have the origin of Easter. It is not, as most of us suppose, a holiday born of the Christian religion but is a heri tage from the religions of an tiquity when man sensed a god in every element of nature. Strange to say. however, the sig nificance of this most beloved of all holidays has not changed a bit. As we observe this day in commemoration of the death and resurrection of our God. so did the ancients commemorate the resurrection of the god of vegetation. As the significance of the day remains the same, so do the ceremonies of observation. Historically. Babylon furnishes the first authentic record of Easter. At the festival of Adonis the death of the god was annual ly mourned. An image of the dead Adonis was carried out ad if to burial and then thrown into the sea. Yet they sorrowed not without hope for their songs, still preserved for us, predict that the lost one would come again. In Phoenicia the festival was even more significant. The date of observance, determined by the discoloration of the water of the river Adonis, assured the ad- vance of spring sufficient to bring nature into full bloom. The scarlet anemone, suuposed to have gotten its color from the blood of the dying god, occupied the same place In the festival of Adonis that the lily does in our observance of Easter. The snectacle of the great change that takes place in na- ture all over the face of the earth has powerfully impressed the minds of men in all ages and has caused them to meditate on the cause of transformations so vast and wonderful. Man, even when primitive, could not fail LEGAL NOTICE to see how intimately his own life was bound up with nature and how the same causes that affected vegetation also affected him. They pictured the growth and decay of vegetation, the birth and death of living crea- res as effects of the waning strength of divine beings, of gods and goddesses who were born and died and thus was the spring festival transformed into a re ligious ceremony of resurrection. To follow the variations of ob servance in all the ancient re ligions is lm|K>sslble. in the wor ship of Aslrls, Tamnuz, Adonis and Attis we find the annual death of the vegetation god and his resurrection in the spring. Constantine In the fourth cen tury gave us our pompous ob servance of Easter. Fond of dis play. he caused Easter to be cele brated with great pomp. He used Easter as an excuse to wear something so new and unusual that everyone would seem poorly clad beside him. Everyone else began dressing up too and so was born our custom of dressing up for Easter. The use of eggs at Easter comes from the common belief of the ancients that all life came from the egg The Egyptians, Persians. Greeks. Gauls and Ro mans believed the secret of life to be within the egg and it was used as the symbol of recrea tion. The Christians borrowed this custom also and our ob servance of Easter is exactly the same both tn form and signifi cance as was Its observance by the lowly primitive who donned hK paint and feathers and danced In honor of the first ap pearance of spring vegetation— the resurrection of his god. The custom of coloring eggs appears to be very ancient, The early Persians colored their eggs as did the Jews, It would seem that the original purpose in col- oring eggs was to Imitate the spring colors of the blossoming flowers. Perhaps Constantine was merely imitating nature when he put on his new raiment at Easter time. _ and since ___ H H During the ______ general election hysteria, the cry on every tongue was that Earl H. Fehl “would certainly reduce county ex- pense. cut out the graft and re- organize badly muddled business ^g affairs.” Fehl swept into office (al- Of course we all know, or are though his manner of sweeping has certain, that the violent editor been questioned) promising to re knew right from wrong at the time duce taxes.
