arsenal to write editorials, post

is printed and fight our way out of
several abuses.
It has been a Tot of fun, now that
it all is over and none of our bones
were broken. The subscription list,
in spite of a few stops, has more
than tripled. And we have managed
to give Jacksonville. Applegate and
Medford something quite unusual
in weekly newsjiapers—one that
led the jiarade rather than trailed
along in the cleanup. We believe
the paper has been fearless, entire
ly independent of any influence, ag

tion.

EASTER
Easter is a holiday that ap-
peals to everyone. The whole
world is more beautiful. 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.
