Among all the old customs connect

pleasant one of all is the Easter greet
ing, Christ is risen!"
For, as Christmas celebrates the
birth of our Saviour, so does the
Easter festival remember his resurrec-
ton.
In nearly all Christian countries the
recurrence Of Easter has been cele-
brated with various ceremonies.
The Easter eggs symbolic the res

prisoned within the shell comes forth
to life and liberty at the appointed
time so did our Saviour on Easter
morning, burst the gates of the grave !,
and so shall we at the last day rise
after Him.
The eggs were at first dyed scarlet
in memory of the blood of Christ shed
upon the cross.
So we welcome the Easter day with
beautiful flowers and with songs OF
gladness, not merely because the win
ter is gone and tnat spring has como,
although we are glad Of that, but be.
cause on this day our Saviour rose
from the dead, and because we know
that since He left His tomb in JOS

our graves Sin the resurrection of the
last day."

EASTER BUNNY.

Little Mr. Bunny lived in neat
little red house on the hill He and
his wife were very industrious and SO
were the two little Dummies.
One day Mrs Bunny sent the cd
est little bunny to the milk man for
some milk Upon returning he told his
mamma that Mrs. Rabbit. who lived
across the street, had broken her leg
and was very i'll.
lJow, what did Mrs. Bunny do but
her. In the basket were eggs, carrots
and apples.
Perhaps you think it is funny
lunch to take, but Mrs. Bunny did not
think that way.
"Now, children" said she, you
should be very careful, and if anyone
comes, invite them in the parlor and
tell them l will be back directly"
Mrs Bunny then opened the door
and was soon at the home of Mrs.
Rabbit.
The oldest bunny said to his broth
er, you just sit in this rocking
chair and look at this picture book

soon busy looking THE pictures,
while Big Bunny washed the dishes.
Soon they heard knock at the
door Big Bunny opened it and little
rabbit handed him two envelopes and
hurried away.
81 wonder what this means" said
the oldest bunny as he closed the
door. For the little hare who had
given them to Big Bunny had not said
word of what they contained.
"Why, just open it and see sug-
Cested Baby Bunny. That's just what
We'll do" said Big Bunny He then
open it and found it to be an invita-
tion for Mr.. and Mrs. Bunny to attend
a large Easter party.
ooh, goody! II, bet we got invita-
tions, too,' said the wee bunny, and
sure enough, there they were, in a
pretty little envelope.
Il think papa and mamma will go.
don't you?" little bunny said "Why,
of course, DEAR" said Big Bunny, who
really thought he was man rabbit"
In about an hour Mrs. Bunny came
home, but Big Bunny and Little Bun
ny could scarcely let her get in the
house before they told her the prec-
ious news.

Mrs. Bunny, "if you'll be very good"
How did Mrs abbit like the din

wife. But here, read this said she,
handing him the invitations.

themselves half so much.

THE FIRST EASTER.


The third day had now come. 1t was
carly morning and the soldiers were
watching, when all. at once the earth
shook and an angel came and rolled
the stone back and he who was cruel
fed rose up and his face shone SO
bright that the soldiers could not look
at it. They told the rulers that
Christ had risen. The ruler gave the
soldiers a sum Of money to tell the
Jews that the disciples had taken the
body. This the Jews believed. When
Mary the mother of James and Mary
Magdalene came, they found the
tomb empty and an angel said, "You
seek Jesus. He is not here He has
risen as he said"

A HAPPY EASTER.

Dear Juniors: We hope that all the
Juniors will have very happy Easter.
Easter you know is the most signifi-
cant as we'll as the most joyous festi-
val held during the year, because it
expresses the belief of the Christian
church in the fact that Christ rose
from the grave. In the Greek church
on Easter morning the customary
greeting of friends is: The Lord is
risen," to which the invariable an
swer is, HE is risen indeed" This
is beautiful way to greet ones
friends on Easter day.

EASTER IN GERMANY.

eggs in Germany.
Ii you lived in Germany on Easter
morning you would be running about
the garden hunting in bushes, behind
trees, and in all sorts of queer places,
for pretty colored eggs which the
hares Or rabbits are said to hava
brought there during the night.
Easter is very important day IN
Germany. 1t is looked forward VITA
almost as much pleasure as Chris
tmas.
After breakfast the hunt begins, ard
them, for the rabbits are sly litt,a
creatures, and the nests are alwa. IS
carefully hidden away
The children are apt to find the eggs
in pretty baskets, and some times
they will come upon beautiful white
sugar hare sitting on messy nest,
filled with beautiful colored eggs.
Don't you think the German hares
are clever?
think the German children must
be very happy on Easter morning.
Sometimes the little ones are puz.
zled as to whom the beautiful eggs be-
long and on asking, they are told that
little bunny lays them. Then they ask
why birdy doesn't lay such pretty eggs
and they are told that she hasn'
time for mixing so many colors, but
that bunny has plenty of time TO

WHITE EASTER LILY.

People uses white lilies to decorate
churches and houses on Easter.
They always use white lilies because
they represent purity.
Some of them are artificial and the
others are grown in greenhouses.
The beautiful white lilies that people
raise in the house here is like the lilo
that people in Oregon can raise out j..
the open ground and will bloom at al
times of the year.
When we was in Oregon last winter
there were lilies in bloom
Every day went to school I would

her new wings.

First he pulled one peg like this and

NY IDEA OF A HAPPY EASTER

Some children think it is fun to hide
a whole lot of eggs so no one can find
them till Easter and then bring them
in and have them colored
think they are pretty when colored
some pretty color. 1 never colored any
but have seen them after they were
colored. We always have boiled egg-
for breakfast on Easter I think Easter
postal cards are nice to send to your
friends. l never have got any but
I might sometime
I hope it is a nice day Easter Sun
day. I wish we could have an Easter
program at our school. 1t would be
nice. l think the happest Easter was
when Christ arose from the grave.
That is why we call it Easter Sunday.
Yours truly
