was packed so thickly with people Of

was impossible to get through the

that between three and four thousand
people witnessed the feat, and be-
tween two and three hundred people

that these would be tread lights for

EASTER AT ST. MsRYS.
A Feast of Joy In The chureh"First IN In.
portanoe In FeaSiS.

Easter is essentially n feast ol joy.
The note of triumph evident in the
true Christian celebration OF the feS-
tival tells of a joy all the deeper he,
cause of the unbounded sorrow that
preceded. The mournful memories,
the sadness and bitter lamentations of
Lent and Holy Week have gone and
in their place come the joy and glad
ness and allelujas of EasteTtide.
As Resurrection morn succeeded Good
Friday afternoon, so the JOY and
peace of Easter replace the sadness
and solemnity of Lent.
Easter ranks first I'm Importance
among the feasts of the Christian
year. In the earliest ages of Chris
tianity il was called the feast of
feasts. A profession OF Idous cere-
mony and earnest devotion accom-
panied the celebration of the festival.
At dawn the faithful crowded the
churches. These gathered round an
image of the Risen Christ, they chant
ed oanticlos and learned from itting
symbols the significance of the mys-
terry of the Resurrection. The COM
non Easter greeting among the chris
tians of those days was "'rhe Lord
is truly risen" and in answer came
the words: Thanks be TO God -
In these latter days, though much Of
the external pomp that characterized
the casters of earlier centuries has
departed, the feast has lost mono of
its power and Significance among true
Christians. To them the mystery is
commentaries is glorious reality.
II is the greatest of all Christian
mysteries, the one apart from which
no other Christian mystery has a
meaning.
