Washington. Secretary Bryan, il
o statement made public Sunday, re

question, and In the course of the
statement declares that the repeal d
the tolls exemption In the Panama
canal act cannot be construed to BIZ
construction OF the -Pauncefote

that question in that way"
Mr.. Bryan discussed various fea

debate in the house of representa-
tives, the Baltimore platform and the
effect Of repeal on the treaty.
Claiming that the opponents of the
repeal had seized upon the charge
that the president was "surrenderinf

The very men who are so insistent
on constituting the treaty to permit
free tolls delayed for months the rat
ihcation of the treaty with Great Brit

tration OF any subject. In other
words, they construed the treaty te

spoken as a word Of cheer, a word of
hope, a summons to rejoicing. Is not
this in itself a great achievement? To
fill the heart Of the world with a great
hope and an unselfsh joys not that a
great good? That Jesus the Christ has
done all this for the world no man can
deny.
There is reason in this rejoicing. 1t
is the truth that Easter tells that
makes the whole earth glad. What is
this truth? 1t Is the truth that there is
life beyond the grave. To the perfect
man there Is no death. and in every
man there is a spiritual principle over
which death has no power. This has
been the unquenchab1e hope of man

Easter Is
Older Than
Christianity

@ASTER is much older than
Christianity. The very name
by which we know the day Is
identical with that of the an
cient Saxon goddess Of spring, Easter
or Eostre. The Anglo-Saxon lame 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 its 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 n festival.
"The primitive Christians" we are
told, when they met on this day sa-
luted 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, 'all the ceremonies attending
the observance of Easter were at first
exceedingly simple, but in the early
part of the fourth century a decided
change was brought about.
Constantine, naturally vain and
fond Of parade, %signalized his love Of
display by celebrating this festival
with extraordinary pomp. Vigils 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 majes-
ty, but huge pillars of wax were used
instead. and not only in the churches,
but all over the city, We're 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
tecost the time was considered the
most suspicious in the whole year for
~lovemaking and marriages, and those
two holy days were the best on 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 a place in our time and country.

An Easter Message.

You must live before you a be-
lieve. If you would have a right to
the tree of life, If you would have the
right to know that there is a tree Of
life, you must seek this immortal life
here, and seek it from the God who is
here. and seek it through the channels
that he opens for you.
Live here and now the immortal
life. and then. If you are mistaken and
there is no life after the grave. still
you will have been immortal.
We must have the immortal life here
and now II we would have a rational
hope to have it hereafter. This is my
