y Joyce looked around. Where was Ber-
nice? Itseemed an age since they came into
the church. The child ha6 not waited, but
had gone on into the auditorium.
II When the soft light fell round herand the
decorations burst on her admiring gaze,
great sigh of satisfaction escaped her lips.
There stood the big pipe organ in its old
place, and she knew the organ boy was be-
hind that screen. She remembered how she
used to admire his short faxen curls and
blue tie, and wonder if he didn't work harder
in his part of the service than the minister
did in his.
She wandered down the fragrant aisle as
one in lovely dream, not conscious that she,
herself, was the most beautiful thing in this
Eastertide picture.
But the new soloist who had retired to
the right, giving place to quartette, saw her
He shut his book on his finger and felt
strangely moved. Her white cap, like big
snowflake resting on the wealth Of dark hair,
and the luxuriant curls straying down over
the Aeecy white wrap suggested the glory
of woman in Holy Writ.
And Bernice wondered why mamma did
not come in. What would she do with the
offering? O, yes; there was the man over
there where papa used to sit; he was the
committeeman, surely, as he was not sing
ing. She went up the altar steps and handed
him the box.
''This is our Easter offering" she said. He
took the package. Her voice, her
face. He drew his handkerchief across his
lo1vy1 ,;cso + ~ /
wrapper. Looking after the child he gasped
out: Little one!' But she had gone
around to see Teddy work the bellows. The
soloist opened the box and saw beautiful
cluster of lilies, and read: Everybody for
gives everybody at Eastertide."
A great desire to cry out with an agonizing
cry came over him, but he got up quietly and
slipped into the vestry, taking the flowers
with him.
The rehearsal was over and Teddy and
Bernice were sitting on the altar stairs talk
ing of Easter when Joyce peeped in. She
had staid outside until her emotion was con-
trolled; no one must know.
''Bernice, where are the fowers?" she
asked, approaching the twain.
':The committee has them," answered the
child, rising and running forward. "Isn't

the child's face and Joyce drew her into the

M(N FALL American cities Washington.
w y the nations capital, is the only one
~ which has distinctive Easter cele-.
bratlon. How and where the Easter Monday
egg-rolllng originated, no one now living in
Washington can tell; but that the beautiful
slopes OF the white house grounds, where the
annual event occurs, give it inviting encour-
agement no one seems willing to dispute.
With every year the crowd of youngsters
engaged in the harmless sport has increased,
and the egg-rolling has finally grown to the
Importance Of festival The public schools
are closed on Easter Monday, and thousands
of children swarm about the enchanting
white house grounds. These are prettily di-
versltled with little hills and intermediate
valleys, and on the knoll above the steepest
OF these grassy slopes the children gather.
Baskets and boxes are quickly emptied, and
the sport of rolling the colored eggs begins
1t has no apparent object, unless it is to test
the strength Of the egg shell and see how
many times it will go humping over rough
places without breaking. Some Of the little
tots try to roll their eggs against others to
see which will break; others run after their
eggs as they roll down, to catch them before
they reach the bottom, so that they may not
break. But they are not long-ived. Even
the hard-boiled egg has its limit of endur-
ance. Before long the first corners have seen
the best of their colored treasures broken
and scattered over the grass But the new
corners constantly bring fresh supply, and
keep things rolling"
A view of this pleasing scene leaves a
never-to-be-forgotten impression on the
adult observers mind. In every direction

Old Easter Customs
Many Of Them Still in Vogue

MI ANY curious Easter customs and
W\\ superstitions have come down to
AVA us from the old Saxon celebration
of the day. One is that the sun, dances in the
sky on Easter morning, and in Devonshire,
England, young girls still get up early to see
the planet skip about. If an east wind is
blowing on Easter morning it is custom in
some parts of Germany to draw water and
wash in it, thus avoiding all danger from
the east wind during the coming year. In
the county of Sussex, England, the peasants
believe that if the sun shines Oh Easter day
it will shine, if only little, every day in the
year; if it rain, every day will see rain, if
only Z few drops. In Continental Europe
the peasants formerly celebrated the day by
putting robes on one of their number, crown
ing him with tin crown and saluting him as
king.
In Russia the feast is celebrated on Easter
eve. All night long the streets are brilliant
" lighted and crowded with people in new
clothes. At midnight mass is said in all the
Greek churches Russians call Easter
"The Opener of the Gates of Paradise"
InGreece men and women greet each other
with kiss, exchanging red eggs and the
customary Easter greetings.
In Rome, naturally, the celebration of
Easter is most splendid. Formerly the pope
himself said mass in St. Peters. The day
was ushered in by the firing of cannon. st.
Peters was brilliantly lighted and splen-
didly decorated, and the Papal guards, in
full uniform, formed double line from the
altar to the shrine of the apostles. At nigh.
st. Peters was lit by hundreds of thousands
of tiny oil lamps. Later they were extin-
guished and as many basins Of golden FIRE
were lit at the same time. The ceremonies
have lost some of their splendor in recent
years, but are still magnificent.

brated in Easter the advent of spring, which
to them was, as matter of course, a time for
popular rejoicing after the hardships and
terrors of long and rigorous winter. Our
Saxon ancestors glori6ed the day as the fore
runner of summer with its fat crops, its out
door life and its opportunities for COM
munion with nature
The bold and intrepid missionaries who
christianized the heather nations of the
north deemed it wise to adapt old and treas
ured beliefs and ceremonials to the nobler
religion, and thus Easter was put to new
and better uses. Scriptural brightness was
made to succeed darkness, sorrow was sup.
planted by joy.
Easter has always been gentle festival
and has ever had softening effect on man
kind. It is day of good fellowship and OF
kindly feelings which unite all men into one
brotherhood.
To the Christian the day comes as gleam
of sunshine comes to nature after dreary
days of darkness and storm, because the
resurrection is the great proof of the divin-
ity of Christ; and the open tomb must for
all time be the evidence of the truth which
the Saviour preached to men that man is
saved through the sacrifice Of God made
man.
Father Thomas j. Conaty, rector of the
Catholic university at Washington, in SER
mon on Easter declared it to be "the feast
of hope which tells man that death has not
conquered us, that beyond the grave. there
is life, and from death there is resurrection.
1t tells that Christ is the source of our faith,
the source of our hope, and by Him we live
as in Him we believe, whom also we must
love. As the grain planted in the tomb Of
the earth terminates and bursts forth into
the glory of the harvest field, so human ma.
| ture inclosed in the tomb of death will ger
inmate and burst forth immortal in the
| fields of the eternal husbandman.
winter covers the earth with its mantle
of sorrow and nature seems in death, but the
bright sun of the spring morning sees the
stone rolled away and nature bursts forth
into life. The fields are clad in verdure, the
trees bud forth and fragrance comes to the
| flowers, and all men hear the voices saying:
| If God so clothe the grass Of the field, which
| to-day is, and tomorrow is cast into the
oven, shall He not much more clothe you,
o We of little faith
"And 80 Easter brings to us the pleasant
| hope of resurrection, to believe in Christ, to
hope in Christ, to love in Christ, to possess
| Christ.
Easter brings us the risen Saviour, our
hope, our joy. We must live with Christ in
the grace of His redemption, if we would
rise with Christ in the joy of His resurrec-
tion."

the eye is caught by the tender spring
bushes of blossoming nature, cleaning here
and there from banks of hyacinths, daffodils,
tulips and bewildering variety of other
dubious treasures, and again from the bud
laden boughs of trees and shrubs. And over
the thick green grass romps and plays mot

crow from the baby carriages that dot the
lawns and walks; little toddlers bend down
in eager waiting for the brilliant-hued egg
that mamma or nurse rolls toward them;
bigger boys and girls dash in and out in Wig

The egg-rolling always affords pleasure to

IL IL missed him and they never knew
why or whittier he had gone.
She closed her eyes to take mental in
ventory of the day, which had been a pc
culiarly hard one. Soft, fluffy rings of curl

around the patient face, now very grave.
All day she had smiled back to happy
