Easter is not only the most Joy
full but the most significant festi-
val of the Christian Church, for it
expresses the belief in the resurrec-
ton of Christ from the grave. The
| Greeks greet each other on Easter
morning with; THE Lord is Risen
and. the response follows; He is
risen indeed"
In the year gas during the reign
of Emperor Constantine, at a
great church Conference known as
the Council of Nice, the date OF
this movable festival was set for
the first full moon following the
Vernal equinox-March 2Ist so
that Easter may come on any date
between March 22nd and April
23rd.
And so the moon settles the
question as to when we shall cele-
brate Easter. This year the first
full moon after the Vernal Equinox
comes on April 10th and that is
why Easter is late this year.
To the ancient Saxons is given
the credit of originating Easter.
Joyous festivities, lasting many
days, were held by them in honor
of their goddess Eastre who per-
sonihed the morning, or East, and
the springtime, or dawn OF the
year, as we'll. Among the many
rites of this festival was that OF
coloring eggs and exchanging
them as presents. Hence our
Easter eggs.
Over in Scotland the boys and
girls who lived among the hills and
moors would rise very early on
"Pasch Sunday" and hunt the eggs
of the different wild fowls for their
breakfast. Those who found the
eggs were deemed very lucky by
the others. This probably origin
ated the Easter Egg Hunt.

Love Shall Find Its Own

Faint not, o heart that calls for

Through all the dreary days.
Lag not, O feet that tread apart
From other wished for ways.
There ne'er was nook that could
emmure
Beyond HIS seeking eye;
There ne'er was furrow so obscure
That SIZE shall pass it by!
The city's thousands move and
SHIFT
Midst crowded mart and street.
A twain, unconscious, onward drift
Until, behold, they meet!
Faint not, . We who daily spin,
But weave the wool alone;
For every heart has heart akin,
And love shall find it's own"
