DaY of Great JOY.

The Easter of Rome transcends in pomp
and splendor that of all other countries.
The Pope is borne into the great gallery
of st. Peters, and gives his solemn bene-
diction, "to Rome and the world"
Poland feasts at this period on saffron
cakes, roast pig and little lambs served
with pistachio plums. The number of
dishes cooked is enormous. Eggs form a
part of all the pastimes. The religious
services are devout and impressive.
In Mexico it is the great festival of the
year. In the City of Mexico the popula-
ton fill the streets and the parks, which
resemble the most beautiful gardens. Peo-
pie passing each other in the streets throw
flowers with their salutations. Bands dis
course sweet music, and there is general
abandonment to the delights of the festi-
val of their Sunday of joy"
In America the occasion is observed
generally but quietly. Presents are ex-
changed, eggs and flowers are given a
prominent place, and the church services

HOW the Greeks Won Liberty.

To the American mind the hero OF the
Greek revolution was Marco Bozzafls
or Botsaris, the Macedonian, whose
own country, or part of it, is still sub
iect to Turkish rule. He was indeed
brave soldier, but Fitz-Greene Halieck
who sang his praises, was Il better poet
than reporter He caught the spirit or
the times and put it into thrilling verse,
but the most notable soldier Of that
long war was really the Oliver Perry
or Farragut of the period, Admiral ha-
naris, whose fireboats blew to atoms
the fleet of the Porte. The enemy was
literally caught mapping. kanaris had
with him only thirty-two men, ana
every one Of them passed unframed
through the enemy's feet, having first
made fast their fireboat to the man-of-
war on which the Turkish admiral was
serenely sleeping. George Kanaris
really deserves the honors inadvertent-
ly bestowed upon the brave Macedo-
MAN. The terror inspired by this naval
exploit was an important factor in
waking the great powers from their
leshargy. They concluded at last that
the war between Greece and Turkey
must stop, and in the fall Of 1927 the
combined warships of England, France
and Russia very nearly annihilated
what there was left of the Turkish fleet
at Navarino. The next year the French
troops cleared the Peloponnesus Of
Turks, and finally, in February, 1880,
full recognition of Greece as a nation
was secured, to the infinite relief Of
mankind, especially the more highly
educated class, on both sides of the At
lantic

ly dawning, Easter Sunday, when so
many ages ago Christ had risen from the
dead, and brought with him light and life
to the waiting soul.
Away off in the distance you might
catch the chime of the old cathedral bells
as they rang in the joyous morn-perhaps
some of the music reached Fanny's ears,
for half opening her eyes she stretched
her hand toward Lulu and whispered: Il
will take the lily to him." Just them the
sunshine burst into the room, Lulu turn
cd to the window, and there unfolded in
all it's beauty was the lovely lily.
Long hours afterward, when the Sab
bath bells were pealing their glad notes,
and choral voices sang, "The Lord is risen
indeed" the little child lay there so still,
so beautiful, with the smile of heaven
upon her lips, and holding in the waxen
fingers her precious gift, the Easter lily.

A REsuRREcTioN THOUGHT.

The bulbs that were hid In the darkness
Through the winter time and the snow
Have felt the thrill Of the sunlight,
Their hour to bloom they know.
Purple and gold and scarlet
And white as the robes of king,
To the glory of love at Easter
Their beautiful wealth they bring.
The grass that was brown and withered
And cold on the sodden plain
Has been kissed by the tender sunshine.
Caressed by the crystal rain,
And its bright green lances culver,
Lot twice ten millions strong,
And the birds, with her nest among them.
Flies up with sudden song.
And we, who have seen our darlings
Reft from our side away;
Who have wcpt in silent anguish
Ger the cold and pulseless clay,
Take heart in the Easter gladness,
A parable all may read,
For the Lord who cares for the flowers
Cares well for our greater need.
He knows Of the loss and anguish,
The grOpe of the stricken soul;
He will bring again our dear ones,
By his touch of life made whole.
We shall need and know and love them
In the spring beyond the sea-
That, after earth's dreary winter,
Is coming to you and me.

differs in significance from the autumnal
THANKSGIVING and later Christmas ,holl-
DAYS. Autumnal holidays mark the END
of the harvest, when all it's fruits have
been gathered and when gratitude is ex-
pressed for every gift of Providence to
mankind. The year is closed. Reflection
is the sole occupation Of the mind.
Truths may besgathered from expert
ence as fruit is gathered from the SOIL.
But in the autumn every human sentl-
ment is inspired by knowledge that the
best products Of the year have been gath
cred, that its enjoyments are closed, that
its fugitive hours, opportunities, events
and lessons that all which it contained for
good or evil. have become an element OF
the unreturning past.
Easter is the period of resurrection. 1t
is an emblem of the revival which nature
experiences with each return of the sun
in its orbit and of the rains and dews at
their appointed time. 1t brings vernal
sunshine, airs and odors. 1t is celebrated
by offerings of flowers, by gayety in at
tire by festive display, by all the gaudy
outward semblance, in which the day
spring of the heart and of the season is
clothed.
The Christianized Easter which the
world celebrates is higher inspiration of
pagan philosophy, renewed refined and
etherealized by the influences which pro-
ceeded from the tragic events on Calvary
and from their sublime conclusion. From
the earliest era when man began to study
the world around him and defy its mani
festations the spring was sanctified as
the period of the year when the vigor of
natures creative forces first was display
ed. Every form of ancient mythology
recognized the vernal equinox as the point
of rejuvenation for the world of yege-
table and animal life. Every wind of
spring that blew and every wave that
murmured were regarded as the source of
new vital energies in production and
growth.
From these beautiful pagan beliefs to
the beautiful new Christian belief the
change was not violent nor phenomenal.
| It was a graceful evolution from heather
to Christian thought. 1t was transition
of that which was false but was almost
ms beautiful as truth to the beauty and
holiness of truth. Coleridge described the
abandoned fctions of classical beliefs:
