OBSERVANCE OF
EASTER SUNDAY

TINE observance of Easter Sun
day dates back to the founding
OF the early Christian church
in commemoration of the resur
rection of Jesus. It is generally be
lteved by all Christians that Jesus was
cruc1f1ed on Friday and buried The
following Sunday certain women OF
Judea went to the tomb early in the
morning to anoint his body
Saturday was the Sabbath day of the
Jews. That accounts for the DELAYED
visit to the tomb. Jesus was buried so
late Friday the women did not have
time to anoint his body. AS soon as
day dawned that Sunday morning the
women went to the tomb, and, accord
Ing to sacred accounts, found Christ
had gone.
The stone which sealed the mouth of
the tomb was rolled away. At first
they were filled with grief, believing
his body was stolen. Then they re-
membered the words of their Master,
that he would rise from the tomb the
third day. His temperance and as
surance that all could conquer the
grave was the cause of great rejoicing.
From the time of the fight of the
children of Israel from Egypt, the
Jews had observed the Passover to
commemorate the night when the an
gel OF death passed over the houses of
the Hebrews and slew the f1rst-born
In the houses Of the Egyptians. The
FEAST of the Passover was being OBJ
served by the citizens Of Jerusalem at
the time Of the crucifxion. The fol-
lowers OF Christ continued to observe
the 1east OF the Passover, but the OBJ
servance took on a new meaning.
The exact time of the feast was not
settled until the council of Nice, called
oy Emperor Constantine of Rome in
the year 1926. It was then decided that
the feast should be observed the first
sunday after the first full moon after
the spring equinox. The only great
astronomical observatory in the world
at that time was at Alexandria, Egypt,
IL was left to the astronomers there to
determine when Easter should come.
The early Christians did not know
the reast by the name of Easter The
name Is of Saxon origin and came
from the feast Of the paschal lamb of
the early Christian church with the
1east of the coming of spring of the
'Saxons.

HR1ST is risen" The choirs sing
~ about it. The preachers proclaim
it. The multitudes believe it. Does IT
seem strange that because a small
group of sad-eyed, discouraged men
and women, almost two thousand
years ago, suddenly came to believe
that man they had loved had re-
turned to life after being executed on
the cross, people should still believe
1t today? Nineteen centuries is a long

is 1t that the belief of the first Chris

lips made her a conspicuous beauty
anywhere. Added to this, her unique
taste in dress made her more than at
tractive.
Perhaps 1t was her continental man
ner, perhaps merely her natural diff
dence, that made her difficult of ap-
proach. But she was admired by ev-
eryone who came in contact with her,
and in the choir where she sang she
had many friends even though she did
not perhaps realize it,
Choir rehearsals for Easter music
made her attendance necessary, and
she found herself hurrying from her
studio to the church without taking
proper time to eat nourishing meals.
Raymonde was very conscientious and
she did not want to neglect either her
painting or her choir work.
1t was the week before Palm Sun
day and Easter day that found the
little French girl nearly exhausted. A
boat had arrived bringing her letters
and papers from her home in the sub
urDs or Paris. She picked up her
mail and went to church for rehear-
sal without SO much as getting a bite
OF dinner. She feared being late and
conspicuous in entering the choir
stalls.
Instead of being late, Raymonde
found herself there before any of the
others, and she was glad of few quiet
moments in which to read her mail
She looked at her home letters, and |
then opened up a newspaper from the |
suburb in which she lived. Her face

"But why?" she asked, in agonized
tones and pushing back the straight
wisps of hair.
"The reports haven't been con-
firmed, or you would have heard" he
said.
The girls helped her to become calm
and comfortable again, and though she
sat through the rehearsal she was un-
able to bring a note from her throat,
for the lump that seemed to be chok-
ing her.
You'll let me walk home with you

gently.
Raymonde smiled wan little smile.

On the way home they stopped and
had bite of supper in quiet restau-

there, out of sheer WEAKNESS, she per-
mitted her veil of reserve to drop be-
