Tho lily is in the pit')' nations (if the world, bring considered
ns important nowadays, on iicniunt of its symbolism, as the
holly or the evergreen. Indeed, there seems to be little differ
ence the Importance accorded to Christmas and that given to
Faster. Each stands in its symbolism fur a deep religious event,
and each, in Us place holds significance not to he filled by the
other.
It is regretted by some people that an observation such as
the Faster festival has its inauguration in a ceremony that was
an outgrowth of a pagan festival. Hut to the broadmlnded the
fact appears as an evidence of the lasting traits of man. oc
curring in different areas, and modified to suit the conditions
of the times.
The twentieth century celebration is the modern evolution
of heal hen ideals influenced by those of the Christian religion.
From time immemorial man has celebrated the birth of spring,
the passing of the gloomy days of winter.
Master, through the happy initiative of the Emperor Con
stantlne in the fourth century, was cetebrated nut on the day
of the Jewish Passover, but on the Sunday after. The variation
of the date depends upon the fact that the vernal equinox, or
the 21st day of March, is the point from which the first Sunday
ufter the full moon is reckoned.
Tho first observance of Master dates back as far as fi8 A. D.
From that time it has meant much to Christians, and in the
joyous rebirth of Christ there is a general heartfelt resolution
to merge into the springlike freshness of newer ideals and better
things.

Happiest Festival of
Christian Church
i. ,
A study of the word Faster yields a profitable harvest. Tho
Anglo-Saxons had a goddess of light and spring whom they
called Fast re, and from that came the word so dear to tho
Christian church.
it Is related to the word Fast. The sun rises in the Fast and
that is our dally source of light. It was natural thut the god
dess of light should be known as Fit sire. Hut that only explains
the light. This goddess has her honors in April and her day
was celebrated in that month.
I low easy to associate the germinating period with tho
resurrection. All foliage in those portions of earth recognized
at the time of Christ, renews Its life In the spring. During
April the buds burst forth, the trees take on leaves and earth
fructifies In every direction.
What one event ever gave more light to the darkened souls
of man than the resurrection of tho founder of Christianity?
Christ arisen means both mental light and material regeneration
and the word Faster is rich with significance.
It is a day of rejoicing becauso it signifies so much to tho
earth and Its inhabitants. It Is broader than doctrine, and ap
peals to awakened minds and bodies.
One can hardly conceive of an Faster In November, when
vegetation dies and darkness begins its reign in latitudes where
tho prevailing faith had its origin.

Dear Mary Ann: Here is a story
of my own composition:
How "Hum" Killed the Snake
"Hum" was an old collie thut
lived up In the hills of Montana.
One day as he was tending the
her 'sheep, he noticed a big confusion
over on the other side. He ran
over there and found a huge rattle
snake. Just as It was about, to
spring upon a lamb. Hum jumped
and caught It In his mouth. The
rattler was taken by surprise nnd
of course tried to get free. The
dog bit its .head and soon it was
"Ho is not here, but is risen."
Uttered from an empty tomb by j
Hngel lips this startling declaration
forms the only satisfying answer
i to the query of the ages.
I ages. "If a man die, shall he live
j again ?"
As the tombs of ancient Fgyp
tians are opened to the light of
,this modern day, the first thing!
;that strikes the explorer is the j
elaborate preparations thut had j
been made for ministering to the i
soul of the departed in the future ;
life.
Hut where others have speculat- i
ed and surmised and reasoned j
from nature, the Christian has .
been able to offer proof of his !
belief in I m mortality through the '
Resurrection of his Ford. To him, j
every indirect promise Is overshn- :
dowed and made insignificant by 1
the assurance that Christ on that:
first Faster morning "became the
first fruits of them that slept "
Faster day, throughout the
Christian world the victory of the
Lord over tho grave is commemor-
ated. It is a day symbolic of new j
life, and may be likened to the day
of beginning again. In the Chris- I
tlan church It is the happiest of
the festivals. In gratitude for the
promise that the day recalls, the
Christian world expresses Itself in
song, in prayers of praise, in bril
liant pageantry, and In offerings
of . nature's choicest gifts, the
flowers.
The materialist may read his
fate in tho processes of the natural
world, and the rationalist may in
dulge his doubting that the Resur
rection of Christ was an actual
occurrence, but Faster Is not the
day for either of these to be heard.

To the Editor Parent-Teacher ;
Faster commemorates and In
carnates the resurrection of Christ.
It Is the annual festival of eternal
hope, inspired by thut fact, "lie
is not here; for Ho Is risen as Ho
said. Come, see the place where
the Lord lay." They looked and
the tomb was empty.
Christianity rose 'out of that
empty tomb. Christian civilization
with all of Its physical, mental,
moral and religious phenomena,
rose out of It. Christian are in
architecture, sculpture, painting
and music, comes from the same
source. Philosophy nnd science
follow a risen Lord. The uplifted
moral and spiritual llfo of tho In
dividual and the world Is a vital
witness -to this fact. Rain finds Its
radiant proof In blooming flow
ers. The resurrection bf Christ
finds similar proof In tho growing
life and Institutions of Christianity.
The human witnesses to tho empty
tomb arc gone, but Christianity is
a living witness giving incontro
vertible proof of a risen Lord. Sin

1 um giving below somo of my
own original egg recipes which add
u!stuntlul and convincing varie
ety to tho daily spring menu;
Curried Khks
Fry 2 unions, 2 small-stzcd sour
apples and 2 tomatoes, all peeled
and sliced, in 2 tablospoonfuls of
butter. Stir la Vj teaspoonful of
curry powder, 2 tablespoonfula of
flour, and salt and pepper to tasto.
Add 2 cuufttlH of boiling water, In
f which has been, dissolved 4 tea-.
spoonful of baking soda.. Let sim
mer until vegetables are tender,
then rub thru a sieve and return
to tho saucepan. Add 1 cupful of
cream or evaporated milk. Cut 6
hard-cooked eggs into ouarters
and add to tho sauce. Heat all
together thoroly, and servo with a
border of lice, garnished with
parsley. These quantities aro suf
ficient for from four to six per
sons, depending upon their appe
tites. Kggs In Ramekins
In the bottom of well-buttered
ramekins put equal amounts of
canned flaked fish (tuna fish or
crab meat are excellent) and fine
ly chopped canned or fresh mush
rooms which have been sauted In
butter. Heat In tho oven, then
break a whole egg over each por
tion and return to oven, which
should bo very moderate. When
eggs urn bcl and firm, sprinkle
each with salt and pepper, dot
with small lumps of butler and
garnish with pimento strips, Servo
in thu ramekins with toast points
on tho side of each plate.

Fixing- Data of Enfttcr
Ancient calendars the Hebrew,
for instanco are based, more or
less, on tho phases of the moon.
The Christian fathers borrowed
from Jewish custom In fixing thu
time for' Faster. It was de
creed by the Council of Nice, In .
132&( that Faster should occur on
tho first Sunday after tho full
moon that falts on or next after
the 21st of March. If the full moon
happens on Sunday, Faster Is cole
b rated tho next Sunday.
