Easter Is
Older Than
Christianity

TASTER is much older than
Christianity. The very name
IL by which we know the day is
identical with that of the an
cient Saxon goddess of spring, Easter
or Eostre. The Anglo Sax On name for
April is Easter month. Taking advan-
tage Of the coincidence of the Christian
festival in point of time with that Of
the yearly feast in honor of the Saxon
goddess, the early missionaries gave a
Christian meaning to the observance OF
the day, but it has ever retained it's an
cient name. Easter was at one time
called the Christian passover, because
the Jewish passover occurs about the
same date, and the early converts
from Judaism celebrated Easter and
the passover as one festival.
"The primitive Christians,' we are
told, when they met on this day sa-
lutcd each other with the words,
Christ is arisen to which answer was
made, Christ is arisen, indeed, and
hath appeared unto Simon" This
custom is still observed in the Greek
church. Indeed" to quote a foreign
writer, call the ceremonies attending
the observance of Easter were at first
exceedingly simple, but in the early
part of the fourth century decided
change was brought about.
"Constantine, naturally vain and
display 10y celebrating this festival
with extraordinary pomp. Nigils or
night watches were instituted on Eas-
ter eve, at which people remained in
the churches until midnight. The ia
perS, which it was customary to burn
at this time. did not satisfy his males
ty. but huge pillars of wax were used
instead and not only in the churches.
but all over the city, were they placed
so that their brilliancy at night should
rival the light of day.
Easter Sunday was observed with
most elaborate ceremonies, the pope
officiating at mass, with every impos-
ing accessory that could be devised"
Not kneeling in token Of humility,
but standing erect with arms out
stretched and faces looking to heaven
to express triumphant peace, the early
Christians prayed during the fifty days
between Easter and Pentecost. and no
songs but those OF JOY and gratitude
were heard Between Easter and Pen
tpcOSt the time was considered the
most suspicious in the whole year for
lOvemaking and marriages. and those
two holy days were the best Oh which
to baptize children.
OF all the Easter customs, that of
coloring and making presents Of eggs
seems the only distinctive one that has
found place in our time and country.

COATS-FORDNEY STRIKE.
Manager Stout Gives Out Statement,
Saying No Cut In Wages Was
Made, Nor Advance in Meals.

The strike of part of the employees
in the logging camps of the Goats
Fordney Co. has given rise to many
rumors. to correct which Manager
Walter l.. Stout has given out the
following statement:
Answering the request of num-
Der of representative men, we de-
sire to correct the current reports
regarding our action and attitude in
tho present labor Disturbances
I'VE are paying the same schedule
of wages that was in effect when we
began logging operations this year.
We have not changed them in any
respect. Nor have we anticipated
changing them or intimated that II
was our intention to change them
They are based on what we know is
the utmost price we can pay under
existing logging and market condi-
tons.
"As to the mess house-we wish
to say that the meals we serve are
second to none in any respect; the
price of 25 cents has been in effect
for a number of years, and we have
not made any statement to any one
that would warrant a report that we
had decided either to raise the price
of the meals or reduce the quantity
Such report, which appears to have
gained currency. is without the
slightest foundation.
I'VE want also to correct the idea
that we have had a general strike
Such is not the case. More than 10C
OF our employees have remained az
their posts"
