"THE FIRST FRUITS OF THEM

tivals. The mournful season of Lent
is past. the Saviour has been crueified
and buried, and "now is Christi risen
indeed, = ''the first fruits of them that
slept"
The name is derived from Eostre, a
goddess TO whom the Saxons and
other Northern nations sacrificed at
about this season. The Pascha. or
Jewish Passover, celebrated at this
time, lent its name TO the Christian
Paschal season. but the prescise time
for Keeping Easter has been cause
of contention between Eastern and
Western Christians. Customs pecu
liar TO the season are dying out in
England, but on the Continent pasehal
eggs, with colored shells and toys in
the shape of gigantic eggs, are given
amongst all classes.
Easter Day is observed by all
Christians throughout the world. In
the ritual churches the day is observed
with more imposing services and Ger
emonies, but there is scarcely
Christian church that does not on this
day refer in some way To the Resur-
reetion of Christ. In most churches
beautiful flowers adorn the altar and
Easter offerings are made. In all
churches the musical program is more
or less elaborate and suggests that
Christ is Risen. All Christians are
expected TO attend some one OF the SER
vices on Easter Day and in the ritual
churches all members are expected TO
take the Holy Communion on this day.
Tomorrow the day in Annapolis will
bo observed in the following churches
