the entire celebration. st. Aloysus has
always eXcelled in the character and quail

sions. and in the present instance they
eclipsed previous efforts. The decorations
of the altar were of the most somber char

solemnity of the day. The cross and Cal

manner in which the service was conducted
infused an atmosphere of sadness into the

TIE FESTIVAL
OF EASTERTIDE
Mornings Garb Cast Aside for
the Apparel of Joy.
A Day Made Glorious With Ssng
and Service.
The Advent of Spring Amid Music,
Flowers, and the Rejoicing of
Christian People.

This is Eastertide, the most beautiful
versary of the resurrection of Christ, and
the everlasting celebration of the victory
over the last enemy, Death.
To the Church Easter is the first of all
festivals. greater even than Christmas, as
the resurrection OF the Lord is greater even
than his birth. Today the Church throws
aside the garb of forty-day mourning and
dons the new glad garb OF victory and the
deep purity Of lilies.
The Christian Church throughout the
whole world viii make the day glorious
with song and service. 1t is the day of
joy. the day of music and the day of re-
joicing. Everywhere elaborate preparations
nave been made for the observance of the
day. and Easter music is synonymous with
the grandest and best in the line Of sacred
music.
The festival known as Easter was insti-
tuted by the Christian Church in the year
6S A. ID. The name is derived from the
Saxon goddess Eostre. and for years ii was
the feast of this goddess which was OBJ
served In April until the Church gradually
forced the worship of the goddess out and
Instituted the modern festival which COM
memorates the resurrection of the Son of
God
The Early Church.
In the early Church the celebration of
Easter lasted for eight days. At the Coun-
oil of Nice, in the year 325. It was decided
that the festival be observed on the same
day throughout the world. In the year
1910 the duration Of Easter was three days.
and during the next century the festival
was observed only on Easter Sunday and
Easter Monday, as it is to the present day.
Easter day is the Sunday following the
18th OF the calendar moon which happens
upon or next after March 81 Easter never
falls before the 22d OF March nor after
April 25th- During this century Easter
has occurred but once on March %, In 1878.
In 1886 II occurred upon April 25 II will
not fall upon the latter date again until
1874.
The exact date for the celebration of
Easter has ever caused much controversy.

The Gregorian calendar was adopted there
was long debate as TO whether Easter
