mons, for 1t Is Easter, the foremost
event on the Christian calendar. AS
| the anniversary of the resurrection Of
Christ, the event in which the whole
| Christian religion eliminates, and to-
wards which all it's teaching points,
Easter has long held priority among
all religious festivals. About 1t cluster
all the thoughts OF hope and joy. oc-
| curing most appropriately in the
/ spring of the year, when all nature
testifies to the renewing of life, 1t has
come to typify the idea of immortality,
one of the Hottest and most hopeful
| aspirations. 1t has been the inspira-
ton not alone of the preacher, but of
the greatest poets and musicians the
world has ever known, for the message
1t brings is one of unalloyed gladness
and hope. Many of the greatest mus
zeal masterpieces have been written
about it as theme.
Processing Christians are not alone
in. their JOY over Eastertide. Nearly
all feel the exultation of the season
and rejoice in the message which
| Ehster brings. Thousands who are
rarely if ever, to be seen in a church
at any other time, make it a point to
attend at least once on Easter day.

| tons have been made for the day.
