1 budding after winter OF worldlyism,
and each Easter we blossom forth
anew with a desire for more spiritual
ity, It's comforting that in thought, at
least, may turn to the scene which
uplifted my aims and ambitions. It's
because of this that try to coax back

fellowship which humanized the occa-
sion of which / am about to speak.
Right after sunrise there assembled
in the crowded combination room in
the low frame dwelling, known for
miles as Justins', thirteen of us, eight
children and five adults. 1t was a
rare company. The old grandfather,
slightly bent--a luxury of bushy hair
turned white-hands thin and knotty,
always outstretched in welcome, and
jamie, the dearest little mink that
ever reigned, at his side, coaching him

The atmosphere was so peaceful there
that one could not help but be drawn
to the others present. Like an en-

shed splendor all about the room,
but with this glimmer was outshone
by the Illuminated countenance Of
the grandfather which radiated the
light from within.
Weeks ahead, jamie had confided to
me her design to get all the really
poor children to come up to her place
for some Easter Joy To use her own
phrase, Il want to give all the poor
kids lot of fun on Easter morn" In
this I consented to act as procurer to
the extent of inducing one little Grip

Agnes, was weary OF heart because of

evince any sign of agitation for fear

and the fury of the holy fire! Robert
Hichens says in the Century. All
hearts were excited to frenzy by the
holy fire. The Easter morning pro-
cession moved hundreds to tears,
held them tensely silent. Instead q
the blue dome spangled with artih-
cial stars, faint blue sky was over
our heads Instead of the glare OF
the torches, the sunbeams fell mildly
upon us. Instead of the yelling multi
4 tudes, we heard the sound Of the won
derfui bells. They began TO peal forth
\ Just before the procession entered the
court from the city.
Down below me saw tears stream
ing over the scanned faces Of many
Russians as they signed themselves,
kissed one another, told one another,
Christ is risen!" answering to the
triumphant proclamation of the bells,
which, unwearied, reiterated their
marvellous message to the children of
men And the canvasses in blue and
red and gold came slowly into the
court, and a man carrying the cross,
and boys in red and gold with swing
ia black. And there followed a priest
with his arms full of flowers, and be-
hind him another bearing on high the
risen Christ crowned with a halo of
gold and framed in a glory of bios
SONS.
Then there rose from the thousands
of pilgrims a cry of sweet exulta-
ton, and the bells seemed to grow
louder as they told Jerusalem that the
marble house was empty that the
stone had been rolled away. The
bishops appeared in pale yellow, pearl
color and gold, all holding lighted
candles. And last of all came Dam
ianos, bearing staff and jeweled
picture Of the risen Christ. The pro

lent. There was a pause. Then the
patriarch took step forward, gazed
at the immense crowd Of adoring pill
grims, lifted the jeweled picture of
Christ, held it out toward them and
said, Christ is risen!"
As his voice died away the priest
with the flowers raised his arms and
showered blossoms over the crowd /;
the bells pealed forth again; the pro
cession moved on and the pilgrims
eagerly lighting their candles and en-
bracing one another. closed In behind
crying. Christ is risen! Christ is
risen!"
And SO into the darkness of the
great church, quietly, softly, the pro
cession gradually vanished. The gloom
was lit UP by the candles of priests
and pilgrims. Through the doorway
saw Damianos in his gorgeous vest
ments sink humbly down to kiss the
stone of JUNCTION. Then the Russians

II IS regretted by some people that
an observance such as the Easter
festival had its inauguration in cere-
rnony that was an outgrowth OF a
pagan festival. But to the broad
minded the fact appears as an evil
dence of the lasting traits of man, re-
curing In different ages, and modified
to suit the conditions Of the times.
The twentieth century celebration
is the modern evolution OF heather
ideals Influenced by those of the
Christian religion. From time I'm
memorial man has celebrated the
birth of spring-the passing Of the
gloomy days Of winter.
Easter, through the happy initiative
of the Emperor Constantine in the
fourth century, was celebrated not on
the day of the Jewish Passover, but
| the Sunday after. The variation oil
the date depends upon the fact that
the vernal equinox, Of the 21st day Of
March, is the point from which the
first Sunday after the full moon II
\ reckoned.
The first observance of Easter dates
back as far as IS A. D. From thai
time 1t has meant much to Christians
and In the joyous rebirth of Chris
there is a general heartfelt resolution
to emerge into the springlike fresh
ness Of newer ideals and better things

AN EASTER PRAYER.

o Thou Sovereign Lord of
Life and Light, our Risen
Saviour and Helper evermore.
we bless Thee for the perfect
and precious hope impaired TO
sinful humanity through Thy
atoning sacrifice and resurrec-
ton. Supreme above all meas
ure of earthly mind the love
which brought Thee from the
Throne of God to walk among
men, bearing their burden OF
sin along the Sorrowful Way,
and leading them upward to
the glory of everlasting life
and joy in the Fathers home.
Grant at this blessed Easter
tide that all darkened and
troubled hearts may open to
the light OF the great Easter
truth and wake to newness of
life in Thee. Perfect in all
Thy children the inspiring
hope of Thy risen life. that
they that are risen indeed with
Thee may seek steadfastly
those things which are above.
Continue in all hearts the
cheer and strength and courage
impaired by the Easter message
and bring all to saving ac-
ceptance OF eternal life through
Christ our Lord.

search. One moon-faced, round. club
by broth OF a boy, failing to extract
any information from John Choppe as
to the whereabouts CT some of the
plants" was wandering of by him
self, sulkingly, when there suddenly
was great rejoicing and shouting.
Far away-yonder by the sharp ell
bow in the stream where the enor-
nous chestnut tree branches hang
low--in that secluded spot, jamie car
rying little tot in her arms and lead
ing caressingly my crippled friend,
Agnes was seen, holding high over her
head what looked as particularly
rich find, It was large rooster In
chocolate. Immediately from every
part of the field came groups of anx-
ious eyes who wanted to examine the
find at close range. There was great
glee.
After all the eggs that had been
hidden by John Choppe had been I'M
covered, and there had been gen.

company started to retrace It's steps
through the blossoming plum trees

the foliage in its symphony of green
adorned the group of merry Easter
children. 1t was here that Grandpa

He stood up In the center, all alone.

be seated on the soft turf. His voice
was like gong in minor key.

Origin Of
Easter

He lily is, in the great ma
tons of the world, being
considered as important
nowadays, on account of it's
symbolism, as the holly or
the evergreen. Indeed,
there seems to be little diff
ference between the i'm
portance accorded to Christ
mas and that given to Eas-
ter. Each stands In it's SYM
bolism for a deep religious
event, and each in its place
holds a significance not to
be filled by the other.
