Easter.

The festival of Easter. observed to-
morrow. over the Christian world Is
almost as old as the religion whose
central fact it commentaries. The
earliest Christians had little thought Of
appointing festival days. Every day
was holy ana sacred to them. ana the
introduction Of tie special celebration
1 OF Easter into the church is generally
| attributed To the perpetuation of an
old Jewish custom. the observance of
the Passover. The first Christians,
ucctcd with the Jewish church, natur-
| ally continued to observe the Jewish
| festivals. though in a new spirit, as
commemorative of events of which
there had been the shadows east be-
! fore. The Passover, celebrated in
memory of the great deliNerance of the
children Of Israel. became ennobled by
the thought Of Christ, the first fruits
| from the dead, continued to be cele-
! brated and became the Christian
! Easter. At first. and for centuries,
there was a difference in the time Of
its observance, and this caused some
bitter controversies which have long
since been finally settled.
The observance of Easter is Il beauti-
ful custom. and it is a significant fact
that many Of the nom liturgical
churches. which DO not generally OBJ
serve the church year, are now giving
special emphasis Ia this day. No
longer are the Greek. Roman Catholic,
Episcopal and Lutheran churches
alore in the special services. the floral
decorations. the music and the joy
which characterize the day. From the
darkness of the tomb came the light
of life. and the sweetest hope that fills
the human breast is given its inspira-
ton BY the story Of the resurrection.
Ii Is a happy coincidence that the cele-
bration Of Easter falls when Natures
renewal of life gives additional
strength to the Christians faith. May
the glorious significance Of the day
more and more pervade the hearts Of
men. With Lowell let US plead.
20 chimes Of sweet Saint Charity,
Ring OUT that happy morn
When Christ for all shall risen be,
And in all hearts be born.

In Good Health and Spirits.

General Olis, in several of his

made the statement that the soldiers in
his command are in good health and
spirits. In fact he has repeated these
words 50 often that it is evident he
means I'd emphasize them, ana to en-
courgc the relatives ana friends Of
the soldiers here at home. in the belief
that the mon are not in danger Of dis
ease nor doNncast hy the prospect Of

dicrs were pleased At the chance To ID
som" real fighting. for the routine of
camp and police duty had become very

fight came rs 4 welcome relief.
These American soldiers, brave fcl-
lows that they are. equal To any tasl,
that is set them, ready for any cmcr-
gcncy. are simply proving again that
in war, as in peace. American training
is certain to bring about the greatest
results. The foreign press is COM
mcnding the work Of these soldiers.
while here in their own country praise
for them is heard on every hand. Bold.
fearless. confident. they are not only
keeping in good health ana spirits, but
they are keeping up the grand record
that the American volunteer made
when he first put a musket on his
shoulder ana went out to do battle in
the cause of liberty.
