Real Easter ServlcA

An Easter service should produce a
resurrection of the thought and feel
'ings; to do this there should be no
d1scords. From the beginning to the
end there should be a constant up
lift. The decorations of the altar
should be more than mere decora-
lions, they should be a suggestion.
The Scripture selections and the
hymns should all bear in one direc-
ton; the music should never over
whelm the thought, but encourage it.
The sermon should be filled with the
Holy Ghost. The Easter service
should be unit.-Universalist Lead
er.

Herbert had vanished. A page came

Eastertide. There was parade of
splendid gowns on women who knew

Like our Christina celebrations, the

Swallowed by the social.
The change from the solemn peni-

Even though we join the throngs

Easter flowers that bank the affairs,
and Join in the Easter carols of praise,
we fall far short of realizing what a
lack of Easter would have meant to
civilization.
The world is better place to live
in because of Eastertide. Though the

Odd points of resemblance may be
seen in many of these observances,
and like many Of the great days Of
the church, the customs associated
with it have been drawn from pagan
worship.
Easter is time Of Joy and gladness,
for it comes in the spring, when, &C
cording to pagan belief, Nature awoke
from the winter death sleep and ev-
erything breathed Of life and hope.
: Therefore there is a common note of
Joy in Easter celebrations, whether it
be among the coolheaded Anglo-Sax-

or tho intense, passionate Latin races.
But perhaps nowhere Is the spirit
