who was sacrificed upon the harvest field. In the great Phoenician sanctu- ary of Astarte at Byblus the death Of Adonis was mourned to the shrill vail ing notes of the flute, with weeping, lamentations and beating of breasts, but the next day the dead god was believed to rise from the dead and to ascend to heaven in the presence of his worshipers, amid hymns of joy and glad shouts of "Adonis is risen from the dead." It is in the worship of Attis, however, that occurs the most striking resemblance to many Of the observances of the Christian Easter. Attis was believed to have been miraculously born of a virgin mother and like Adonis to have died violent death, rising from the dead at the time of the spring festival. Hideous orgiastic rites marked the rit- ual of Attis worship in Rome. Days of blood and atonement preceded the hilarious joy of the great day of res urrection. While devout multitudes flocked to the sanctuary, the unsexed priests of Attis and Cybele, to the music of flutes, drums and cymbals. slashed themselves with knives, and ill wild, frenzied dances splattered the altars with dripping blood. The elligy of Attis bound to a pine tree played an important part in the ceremony. The Day of Blood" witnessed the period of mourning over the etfigy of the god which was afterWard buried in sepulcher. The worshipers prayed and lasted in wailing and lamenta- tion in preparation for the sacra- mental meal But when night had fallen the grief of the worshiperS turned to ecstatic gladness in the Fes- tival of Joy. Suddenly light shone in the darkness. The tomb was opened and the temple thrilled to shouts that told that Attis had risen from the dead. And as the priest touched the lips of the mourners with balm he softly whispered in their ears the glad tidings of salvation. The resur- rection of Attis was hailed by his votaries as a divine promise that they, too, would issue triumphant from the corruption of the grave
 A blessed sacramental meal and a baptism of blood were among other ceremonies for the initiates, ritual which included sacrifice of virility. It meant to them new spiritual birth and remission of sins.

fundamental; while around this idea
 in Greece, Carthage and Rome cen.
 tered the most sacred of rites and
 mysteries. Strange and sometimes
 horrible in sacrifice were the cere- monies which ushered in the reborn world, rituals of worship which
 drenched altars with human blood in
 imitation of the god who died that the world might live. In other places the great spring festival took the form of joy transformed into the abandon of license. But in all these perver- sions the central idea remained as an expression of mans attempt to fathom the secret of the universe and to ad- just his little life to it's awful mys- teries.
 We moderns Of today can have no adequate conception of what the ad- vent of spring meant in the child hood of mankind. In a way we have conquered the seasons and adapted ourselves to their changing moods. But even few centuries ago, man was al- most hopeless in the grip of relent- less, pitiless rhythm of superfluous plenty in summer and starvation and death in winter. It was only the strong and vigorous who survived the winters fight with hunger. The an- cient Lent was in very fact a period of wailing and lamentation, for at this time the gods seemed to have deserted mankind, and the earth it. self, the great mother goddess of fer tility and fecundity, appeared to have died beneath their feet. The coming of spring, the resurrection of fertil- ity, meant that mans despairing pray CTS had been answered, that his sacz rifices had been accepted, and that his battle with hunger was over. In the sharp prod of biting hunger which ancient man viewed as a punishment inflicted by the gods presiding over the various aspects of nature and the seasons, can be found the reason for much that seems strange and mon- strous to us in the old religions.
 Adonis was the god who represent ed the yearly decay and revival of life, an annual death and resurrection. His worship spread from western Asia throughout the Mediterranean littoral He was pictured as bleed- ing to death with the red leaves of autumn and coming to life again with the fresh green of spring. Often Ado his was impersonated by living man

HAIL MIRACLE CE
 DEATHLESS LIFE
Throughout the Ages the Spirit of Easter Has Voiced the
 Highest Aspirations of s-'.* the Human Soul.

HN HE spirit of Easter had it's birth
 k in that dim past when mans
 wondering eyes first. vaguely
 sensed the promise of the swell ing seed, the mystery of bursting bud, the miracle of resurfected life in leaf and flower. Down through the count less ages have thundered the ho- sannas of vernal joy, peans of welcome to, the reborn earth pregnant with it's gift of immortality. In every land, savage and civilized, in every step of mans uplift from barbarism to cul- ture, from prehistoric to modern times. each passing year has wit messed the passionate rhythm of wail- ing, lamentation and agonized despair ing prayer for the dead god, until at mystic moment, penitential sacri- fee. and fasting, weeping and mourn iIg give way to transports of joy which hail the fesurrected deity who has broken again the grim gates of death.
 We Christians have no monopoly of the undying Easter idea of death, resurrection and immortality, of deity who dies to save the world and who rises triumphant from the dead. That has been the radiant principle of humanity's instructive religion from the early dawn of mans spirit ual life. The ancient temples ot hundred different religions have re- echoed to the lamentations for dead deities and their old altars have vii Mated and thrilled with the joyous hymns in honor of resurrected gods. The germinal idea is found in almost all the myths of savage peoples. It was the prevailing idea in the faith of the old Hindus; it inspired the an eient Egyptian belief in immortality; M the pre-Christian religions of Baby lgn. Assyria and Asia Minor it was
