The Festival OF Spring

The observance of Easter is Onc of
the most beautiful customs of the
religious world, and also one of the
most universal. All Chrlstendom
welcomes this day with its message
of joy, perhaps because it comes just
as nature is awakening from her
winters sleep. The day is observed
in many different chimes, in many
different ways, but everywhere its
significance is the message of spring
transmitted to the hearts of men.
Many unique explanations are
given as to the origin of the Easter
Egg, which is the symbol of Easter
everywhere. The ancient Egyptians,
Greeks, and Romans considered the
egg as the sign of the universe.
while the Japanese and Orientals
looked upon them as the type of the
whole human soul. The people of
Peru believed that three eggs fell
from heaven, thus bringing into
exlstance priest, king. and common
people. The church has for many
centuries held the egg as a symbol
of the resurrection and at first they
were dyed red as svmbolical of the
blood of Christ. The world will once
more unite in observing the beauti-
full rites OF: Easter aae sting. sesassses
ton Sunday, regardless of religious
belief and creeds. and after all what
difference does it make about the
belief so long as the fundamental
idea is the same.

the movement of a few of the most

was unsuccessful. That magic power

four democrats. so long as the for
