THE pretense that some hurried action

the true Christian significance Of tbs
feast stole in and tempered the extray-
agance of the merrymaking.
All the time the sturdy and ultra
phlegmatic burghers of New Amsterdam
were relaxing in the most undignined
manner the austere Puritans Of the
Massachusetts Bay colony were feliei-
tating themselves that at last they had
reached a haven where such doings
were unknown. They were not lgn0-
rant of them They had lived in Hol-
land and had been properly scandalized
at the Easter frivOlity of the people OF
Leyden. where they sOjourned for
awhile. They also had been eyewit-
nesses of the Easter indecorum Of their
fellow Britons, whom they in turn had
Mortified into intolerance by their rejec-
ton of the good old ways They would
have none of it. This interrnfngling OF
mythology and the arrogant eye service
of the medieval church should not be
perpetuated by their children and their
children's children. How intense the
feeling and how stubborn the resistance
are made apparent by the fact that the
descendants of these exiles for opinions
sake were the last of all the composite
parts of the great American family to
yield to the subtle Easter influence.
In the early part of the eighteenth
century the AToravians came to Amer
lea, and they brought their own pecul-
lar Easter with them. It's celebration
is entirely religious and highly spiritual.
With them the keynote of the whole
resurrection period is the triumph over
death. The entire community repairs
to the churchyard before daybreak on
Easter morn, and exultant hymns are
sung and trombones are sounded to
signify the victory which the day has
brought. No outward signs of mourn
ing are ever exhibited by these nondog-
matte Christians. Whenever Death
comes he is welcomed with jubilant
hymns and the triumphant accompani-
ment of trombones
Two other points in the republic as
it is now have celebrated Easter from a
time which antedates all other effort of
the kind. Since the sixteenth century
Santa Fe, the CITY of the Holy Faith"
and St Augustine, named for the great

lowers, form the text of the strange
hodgepodge called the Mormon Bible.
The removal to Ohio was the result of
one of these revelations. a man named
Sidney Rigdon, who had been a Bap-
fist minister and afterward a convert to
the teachings of Alexander Campbell,
embraced the new cult and established
a community at Kirkland, the one which
was destined to become Smiths head
quarters and the. center of MoFmonisn.
Rigdon was a man of considerable abil-
ity and succeeded in acquiring a great
influence over young Smith. After be-
coming acquainted with Rigdon the
seer's revelations became less visionary
and decidedly more practical. AS a re-
suit of the first revelation after Smith
went to Ohio all Mormons were re-

Oliver Cromwell, ''the protector finally
decided in favor of the fifth Lord Bal
timore, and Easter was restored to its
former supremacy.
About ten years before Leonard Cal
vert landed in Virginia the little Dutch
colony on Manhattan Island was cele-
brating Easter in its own peculiar
fashion. There was nothing even faint
ly suggestive of spirituality connected
with the observance. The New Neither
land Paas was the most unchurchly and
human festival season that could be
imagined. There was dearth of cere-
monial, but there was an abundance of
eating and drinking. The chief bust
ness of Paas was to make it as hilari-
GUS as possible, and its distinguishing
feature was the consumption of an
enormous number of eggs. It was a
veritable saturnalia of eggs.
There was, indeed. a surfeit of bucolic
and rather heathenish fun in the Paas
of the ancient Kniekerbockers, but it
served to modify the hardship of a pio-
neer life and to promote fellowship.
Newcomers were not repealed by it. but
fell into its grotesque extravagances
with the zeal of new converts. Even at
that early date the embryo New York
was remarkably cosmopolitan. When
it population was only 400 there were
eighteen languages in use. Under Eng
lish domination the holiday underwent
a notable modification. For many years

vided into lots and sold to the faithful.
At the same time a temple to cost
$40, 900 was begun. Although most of
the work was done by the saints with
out pay, a large debt was incurred. At
last Smith and Rigdon tried to avert
financial shipwreck by starting a bank.
After uttering about 100000 of its
notes the crash came. Ten months aft
er its opening Smith and Rigdon were
obliged to flee for their lives. Thus it
was that the first great blow to strike
the infant church was purely financial
in its nature.
During this period spent in Ohio
Smith had actually devoted more time
to the development of his hierarchicaI
schemes than to business. He organized
the first high council of the church.

a colony of the faithful had been estab-

began to pour in from the middle states

nom Mormon citizens were almost
thrown into panic. Soon afterward the
fruits of the English mission began to
be manifest in arrivals of bands of the
recently enlightened. Smith kept on
announcing revelations. One of them,
