WHEN EASTER CONES.

When Easter comes the violets lift
Their shyly hooded faces,
Where late the frozen SHOWS adrift
Heaped high the woodland spaces.
when Easter comes the sunbeams dance
On green leaves all aQuiver,
And grasses rally, spear and lance.
BY ripping brook and river
when Easter comes the lilies haste
What time the bells are ringing.
TO bring their perfumes. pure and chastA
From hallowed censers swinging.
Shine dim church aisles on Easter Day
Beneath their serrled whiteness,
And happy children kneel and pray
Amid the iiiied brightness.
When Easter comes a merry train.
The robin, wren, and startling,
With song and wing are here again.
Aud many another darling.
The blusbird and the orlole.
The martin and the swallow,
"Away," they chant. "with grief and dole,
Here's spring. and summer'll fOllowr'
When Easter comes, when Easter comes,
Then winters spell IL over!
Ere long we'll hear the eidn drums
Where bees are deep In clover.
After we catch the swaying hit
OF winds among the daisies.
And see the rOsecups' sweetness split
Among the garden masses.
When Easter comes. ali! happy day,
Fen tears like dewdrops glisten.
And songs climb up the heavenward way
While angels bend to listen.
For love end live and Joy untold.

'Twere, I fear, cruel structure.

Surely never song or sonnet

All the matchless mode Of It!
To the little bird-like poses

And II doth enhance the roses

While the ribbon loop that fingers

Makes one wildly Wish ones fingers

Who has tr0d In sanity wise,

ORIGIN OF EASTER.
Disputes which Arose In the Early
HistOry OF the Church.


History OF the Church.
The observance Of Easter IL connected
with the history Of Christianity itself
And while there has never been any diff
ference Of opinion among Christians a.
to the general observation of the festival,
In the early church the Asiatics Kept the
feast on the day Of the Jewish Passover,
while the western Christians observed It
on the first Sunday after the Passover.
Hence arose great dispute In the Sec
ond century, and Victor, the Bishop of
Rome, accommodated those churches
which did not keep 1t ON the Sunday. The
controversy was brought before the Coun-
Gil of Nice, In the year A. ID. 1925, and 1t
was decreed that Easter Day should be
kept on the Sunday following the Jewish
Feast of the Passover, which Passover
IL kept ON the fourteenth day Of the jew
ish month Milan. At the same time, to
prevent all uncertainty, 1t was made q
rule Of the church that the full moon next
to the vernsi or spring equinox, should be

CUSTOMS OF EASTER.
Hts Eggs aud Legends, with Their
Origin and Significance.

WITHIN ouu os8"suSsuSS'
As Easter represents new birth into
the best life of all, It is easily seen how the
pagan Idea that the egg was the beginning
Of all kinds Of life should become purified
In the minds of the typical Offering of good
wishes and emblematic of pleasant hopes
between believers In the glad Easter Day.
The egg In some form or other has been
the unQuestioned type of new life from
the very dawn of the Christian era.
In Russia as early as 1850, eggs cOl0red
red, IMPLYING the blood Of Christ shed as
an atonement for our sins, were the most
treasured of exchanges at Easter. Every
believer Went abroad at this season with
his pockets well supplied with Easter eggs,
as the society man of to-day attends to
his wel-flled card case. When two Rus.
SLAMS met for the first time during the
Easter holidays, II they had not met on
the day itself, the belated Easter compli-
ments were passed, first oy solemnly shak-
Ing hands In silence; then the elder Tor
