He is risen; He is not here
behold the place where they laid
Him. . This was the first an
nouncement of the fact of the
resurrection to fall on human ears.
1t was made by the angel to the
women who, very early in the
morning Of the first day Of the
week, came to the sepulchre to
anoint the body Of the Crucifed
One. It brought a thrill Of JOY
to their hearts. It's repetition
throughout the ages has filled the
heart of humanity with unspeak-
able gladness, because Christ s
resurrection from the dead on
Easter Sunday morning insured
the perpetuity of His gospel mes
sage and gave to each one the
gracious helps which enable him
to triumph over the power Of sin
and spiritual death.

THE TRUE Cross
THE USE OF THE ACTUAL FIGURE
OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS WAS
SANCTIONED IN THE SEVENTH
CENTURY.

According to an ancient and beau
tiful legend, the tree of which the
Cross was made grew out of the grave
Of Adam. For when Adam lay dying
his soh Seth went to the Garden of
Eden and brought from thence three
seeds from the Tree of Life, with this
message of hope from the angel who
guarded Paradise: when these
seeds become trees, Adam shall be
freed from the power of DEATH" The
seeds were buried with the patriarch,
and so, in the course of time, the
prophecy came to it's fulfillment.
Pagan symbolism, too, took it's uncOn-
scious share in foretelling the tri-
umph of the Cross.
The ancient Egyptians placed a
cross-shaped sceptre in the hands of
their gods, as a symbol of immortal
ity, and one of the few things known
about the prehistoric tribes of north
ern Italy is their custom of setting
crosses over graves of their dead to
signify an expected resurrection.
Modern Christian feeling delights
to trace this budding morrow in mid
night" And nothing seems more
fitting than that the shadow of the
conquering Sign should stretch across
the first dark pages of human history,
mystically discernable to the eye of
love and faith. Christian art has
represented the Cross as living bud
ding tree, whose far-spreading
branches shadoWed the whole world,
and the four different woods-cedar,
palm, cypress and olive-which en-
tered into the composition of the
Cross were mystically interpreted to
mean the four quarters of the earth
to which Christ would bring salvation.
But, as we know, this ardent love
and devotion was preceded in the
early centuries by a certain reVerent
hesitation Converts from Judaism
and paganism, for whom the Cross has
associations of indescribable shame
and horror, shrank particularly from
any realistic representation of Christ's
torture and seeming defeat. There
are no very early catacombal crosses.
The Gross of Constantine" was
rather monogram of the sacred name
than an actual rood, and probably the
Emperor himself did not accept the
full significance of his own vision till
his mother, the aged Empress, re-
turned from her crowned quest of the
Holy City, bearing the true and act
ual Standard" of the eternal con-
quest.
Constantine ordered the erection of
crosses in public places, and later the
Council of Trullo GA. ID. 1927 sane
toned the representation of the actual
figure of Christ on the cross in place
of the symbolic lamb. BY the tenth
century such representation had be-
come more or less realistic definite
attempts to show the Divine Sufferer
in His Human agony. But various
art collections preserved for US the
earlier crucifxes, with their repose-
full and idealized figures, robed and
crowned The proud and sensitive
converts of Imperial Rome were only
gradually reconciled to the sight OF
their Lords humiliation.

A. DIFFERENT BRAND OF
patriots.


It may be interesting to all who
belong to the bogus patriots mas
querading under high-sounding
titles and making no secret of
their antipathy to Catholics to
learn (for they evidently do not
know it, what General Washing
ton thought of his Catholic fellow
citizens and the part they took in
securing American independence,
When he was elected to the Presi-
dency Of the United States the
Catholics, then few in number,
presented an address Of congratl-
lation and in reply thereto Wash
ington said:
Il hope ever to see America
among the foremost nations in
examples Of justice and liberality.
and ] presume that your fellow
citizens will not forget the patri.
|otic part which you Catholics took
in the accomplishment Of their
revolution and the establishment
of their government, Or the i'm
portant assistance which they re.
ceived from a nation in which the
Catholic faith is professed."
How long before the alleged
"patriots" of our day will realize
how un-Americand they are in
thought and action: By their at
titude towards Catholics they con.
denim Washington and set at
naught the verdict Of impartial
American history.

THE EMPTY TOMB.

There are certain spots connect
ed with the life Of Christ that are
dear to every Catholic heart, says
the Brooklyn ''Tablet. y We love
to think of the crib at Bethlehem,
for it tells us the story of that
first Christmas night when the
Son Of God was adopted into the
human family and became our
Elder Brother. We love to think
of the Cross on Calvary, for it
tells us the story Of that dark
Good Friday afternoon when
Christ tasted death that we might
have life. But there is another
spot that deserves equal honor
with the Crib of Bethlehem and
the Cross of Calvary: it is the
tomb, the empty tomb, in the Gar
den of Joseph Of Arimethea. For
it tells lis the glorious and encour-
aging story of the Risen Christ,
the Christ triumphant over sin and
death, Who rose that we, too, in
Gods good time, might also have
resurrection.
The story Of the Empty Tomb
is the story Of God s power and
mans weakness. On Friday night
Christ s enemies had made the
sepulchre sure: had sealed the
stone and set guards about it.
They thought, poor foolish men,
that they could thus hold down
the Son Of the Living God. But
God was not thus to be eutdone
Sunday morning came, and in the
early dawn the seal that man had
made so secure was broken; the
guards that man had set about
the sepulchre fell flat upon the
earth in terror; and when man
looked once more into the tomb
where had lain the white body OF
the dead Christ,-He was not
there
The linen cloths were there; the
long, winding bands with which
they had bound His Sacred Body
were there; the napkin that had
been about His Head was there
neatly folded, and set apart from
the other cloths; but the deaC
Body-there was no sign of that
For Christ had risen, the first
fruit of them that sleep;" He
had risen that we also might rise
first the father, and then the chill
dren; first the vine, and then the
branches. No wonder that, over
a thousand years later men anC
nations poured out their BLOOD
over this Empty Tomb.
/ No wonder the Crusaders sacri
1ficed everything, endured hard
lship and sickness and death, tt
win back the place where theil
God had lain. The world ha.
Isince called them fanatics;'' bu
1.-THE. world did not know, it coulC
mot know, what the Empty Toni
meant to the Crusader. TIL,
world did not see the connection
between Christ's Tomb and til,
million graves that pit the face O

"a y . 3
of Jerusalem tells us that one day
the graves wherein we shall lie
down to take our rest will also
be empty. The father rises first,
and, as the day deepens, he calls
the children. So we also, when
the day is further spent, shall
hear the voice of God, our Father,
calling us from our sleep in the
dust of earth to awake to the
resurrection. Christ s was the
first Easter Day; but an Easter
morn is coming for all of us. Re-
joice, then, and be glad; wake the
echoes with joyous Alleluias; !"
for this is the day that the Lord
hath made.

From late Australian papers we
learn that the reception accorded
His Excellency the Most Reverend
Archbishop Cerretti, Apostolic
Delegate to Australia, on his ar
rival at Sidney on February IA,
was the largest and most impos-
ing Catholic ceremony ever held
in Australia. A flotilla of ferry
boats escorted the Delegate across
the harbor, bands playing, crowds
cheering, and bells pealing
Crowds lined the route to St
Mary's Cathedral where an i'm.
pressive official ceremony was
held. F." Such was Australia s wei

guished prelate who represents the

A compromise amendment has
been added to the Tallett Bible
reading bill now before the Leg
islature at Albany, New York, to
the effect that "the State Com
missioner of Education will be
authorized to appoint a commits
sion composed Of persons Of all
religious faiths who will select
passages from the Bible to be read
in the public school which will
be acceptable to followers Of all
beliefs" The result will be an
emaSculated Bible which will be
satisfactory neither to Catholics
nor to Professionals.

The 28th day of March, the
fourth centenary of the birth of
st. Terese of Jesus, the immortal
glory not only Of the Catholic
world, but especially Of Avila, her
birthplace, and of the whole of
Spain, was observed as a national
holiday by royal decree signed by
'Alphonso, King" on January II,
acting on the advice of the Presi-
dent of the Council of Ministers,
who declared that it's purpose was
"that a solemn homage may be
paid to the illustrious Castilian.

THE PERSISTENCE OF BIG
OTRY.

Another convent inspection bill,
the third this session, was intro
duced into the Minnesota Legisla-
ture last week, read for the first
time and referred to the Commit
tee on General Legislation. 1t
was introduced by Mr.. Thompson
of Amboy, by request. The first
was introduced by Mr.. Steen of
Winona; the second by Mr.. Frye
of Kandiyohi.
The bill now under considera-
ton provides for "the inspection
of all public or private hospitals,
reformatory homes, houses of de-
tention, converts, asylums, Sec
tartan seminaries, schools or insti-
tutions, by the commissioner of
the county in which such institu-
tions are situated, by the Grand
Jury thereof, or by a person or
persons appointed by a judge of a
court of record, upon a petition
signed by two hundred persons
Of said county" It is similar to
its predecessors except that it re-
quires larger number of signers
to the petition presented to the
judge. That, however, is a small
matter, as wherever bigotry is
rampant it is not difficult to get
the required number of sigma
lures.
We take it for granted that the
members of the Committee on
General Legislation will deal with
this bill as they dealt with it's
predecessors and fail to recon-
mend it for further consideration.
Fortunately, they are intelligent
and brOad-minded enough to rec
ogniZe the danger of such legis-
lation. They are we'll aware of
the source from which these bills
emanate and we believe they can
be relied upon to do what is right
IN the present instance.
The fact that third attempt
has been made to get a convent
inspection bill before the legisla-
ture Of Minnesota shows that
there is strong anti<Catholic ele-
ment among our citizens whose
persistent efforts to foist their
bigoted views on the public would
be worthy Of commentator were
they exerted on behalf of the gen.
eral welfare. They are continual
ly stirring up religious strife and
sectarian bigotry among those
who are willing to listen to their
lies and misrepresentation re-
garding the alleged efforts which
Catholics are making to control
civic affairs and centralize all
political power in the Catholic
Church. Obsessed by the bugaboo
of papal aggression they leave no
stone unturned that will aid them
in accomplishing their evil pur-
poses, even though their efforts
work hardship to a class of re-
Iputable citizens who are much
more interested in their country s
welfare than those self-styled
"patriots can possibly be.
The State Of Minnesota is not a
VERY good field for this form of
religious bigotry. AS a general
rule, it's citizens are too intelligent
to be misled by blatant dema-
gogues whose chief aim is to
foment sectarian strife and dis
criminate against their fellow
citizens on the sole ground
of religion. Our legislators
are to be commended for
what they have already done to
stem. this rising tide of bigotry
THAT would manifest itself in I'M
ljust legislation and, no doubt,
they will see the wisdom of pur-
Suing this course until the session
draws to a close.

which the Lord hath made. The ritual
of the Church at this holy season is
gloriously beautiful. 1t would seem
as If she would cling forever to the
thought of the Resurrection. 1t is
not mere feast for one day. One
day is too short to do justice to it.
1t is feast for a whole week. And
thus We see that it was the custom in
the Middle Ages, from the ninth to the
thirteenth century, to keep the whole
of Easter week as solemnly as Easter
Sunday itself
There was the precept to hear Mass
every day of that week, and to refrain
from servile work. 1t was a whole
octave Of holy joy. Later on the obli-
cation applied only to the Monday and
Tuesday of the week, and finally to
Easter Monday.
Paschal Season.
The Paschal season takes its name
from the 'Pasch," the Jewish feast of
the Passover commemorative the pass
ing of the Israelites, through the Red
Sea. It was at this time of the Jew
ish Pasch that Our Lord suffered and
died. And hence the name of that
celebration was kept by the Christians
to indicate the new mysteries that hap
pened by the immolation of Christ,
the true Paschal Lamb.
The day on which eliminated these
mysteries in the glorious miracle of
the Resurrection was given the name
of the Pasch. Hence in almost every
language, with the exception of the
English and the German, the feast
of the Resurrection is known by a
word that is plainly derived from the
but the very word began to be applied
to other feasts besides Easter Sunday
1t colored every feast 1t came after
a while to signify "solemnity," and no
wonder, since it was the name of the
great feast. Hence we find refer
ences to the Pasch of Christmas even
as meaning the feast of Christmas.
The Name Easter.
The English name, however, has
nothing in common with the old name
of the Pasch. The word Easter, as
Venerable Bede tells us, refers to
Eostre, Teutonic goddess who repre-
scented the rising light of day and
springtime. So April was called the
Easter month. And the Church feast
of the Resurrection coming at this
time of the year, it was very easy tC
call it by the name given to the ole
| celebration Of the coming of spring
The underlying fact was changed, but
the old name was transformed. AND
not such transformation after all, fol
surely if the Resurrection means any
thing it means the coming of our Light
with the rising sun on Easter morning
