Tomorrow the holy church throughout all the
world will commemorate the queen of festi-
vals," universally known as Easter day"
Not Easter Sunday as it is so frequently
printed The church calendar contains no
such Sunday. 1t was old ancient custom,
and one that is still practiced in many coun-
tries, for Christians upon meeting to ex-
change this salutation, THE Lord is risen,"
and the response, HE is risen, indeed" the
key note, as it were. of the festival to be then
celebrated. The risen Lord"-upon this fact
rests the Christians hope both in this life and
the life to come. For nigh two thousand
years the Catholic church has proclaimed this
fact daily, or every time the apostles creed is
recited The third day He rose again from
the dead" Men have tried ever since, and
are still trying, to break the force of this dog
matte statement The church has but one
answer to make: THE third day he arose
again from the dead, according to the Script
ures' and this will be her only endeavor until
the church militant is finally gathered into
the church triumphant, where theological
definitions will be lost in the vast ocean of
eternity. Her garb of mourning gives place
for the spotless white emblematic of joys and
been silent during these forty days of Lent
will once more be heard proclaiming to the
world, Thou art the King of Glory Christ"
when thou hadst overcome the sharpness of
death Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven
to all believers
This festival was celebrated from the very
earliest times as the principal festival of the
church. Easter had become familiar to all
RI nj tho Cb,icT
Polycarp's time-A. d. 1873. The derivation of
the word Easter has nothing to do with the
celebration itself The early post-apostoIic
writers call the festival by various names
such as THE Most Holy Feast" 1.-THE Great
Day, ''The Feast of Feasts,' ''The Great
Lords Day, ''The Queen of Festivals" No
matter what name was given to it, the fact
remains that the church annually commem-
morated in very special manner the RES
direction of Christ"
AT St Philips mission, corner Rice and
University avenue, there will be an early cele-
bration of the Holy Eucharist on Easter day.
