Resurrection

WAY back last summer nature
prompted the caterpillar to seek
out its place, weave its tiny web
and go to sleep there. Perhaps could
the humble caterpillar have thought
about it he would have wondered and
maybe rebelled because he was forced
to do this inexplicable thing. He had
been very happy in his tiny way.
Life seemed very good to him out
there In the sunshine of last summer,
and he could not understand why he
should have to give up all this and
weave a web in a remote corner and
go to sleep.
But you who see the chrysalis there
in the spring sunshine know that he
had to do this in order that he might
progress to the higher, better and hap
pier life of the butterfly.
The caterpillar had to die that the
butterfly could be born. Death had to
apparently triumph for little while
that the ultimate and far greater tri-
umph of life and evolution might be
the more complete.
And here we have in humble but
none the less effective phase the story
of the resurrection, the passing of life
into death, that 1t may emerge the
greater and more perfect life.

The Great Day In Russia.

To the members of the Greek Ortho-
dox church Easter is the greatest day
In the ecclesiastical and secular calen-
dars. Especially is this true In Rus
STA. What Christmas gifts are to Amer
leans and persons of other nationalities
Easter gifts are to Russians. At Easter
the Russians celebrate not only the
miraculous resurrection Of Christ and
their own spiritual freedom from the
bonds of sin, but the festival also sug-
gests to them in q very eloquent man
ner the resurrection of the whole earth
and the release of all the agencies of
nature from the enthrallment Of win
ter.

of celebrating it, notably the method
Of entwining the small fronds of

At Larnaca, says an English writer,

rvenlng the street was Overcrowded.
At the central point of the procession
walked the bishop under purple can
opy. richly bossed with gold, surround
ed by his clergy in all their splendOr.
The priests were followed by the
'epitaphion," or the sepulcher Of Je-

Christmas pantomime. Indeed, the
orthodox Greeks in the near east as
well as those of Cyprus are accustomed
to celebrate Easter much more than
Christmas, probably because Easter
is preceded by strict fast lasting
fifty days. On Saturday evening every
body goes to church for a four hours
service. where the congregation kisses
the images of Christ and the Virgin.
Shortly before midnight a "diakonos"
mounts the pulpit and reads the story
Of the crucifXion. At the same mo-

Sunday, and every one rushes off home
to feast on the good things, wonderful
cakes and an assortment of wines,

to whatever occurs in which Nance and
her bonnet play part.
Oh, the beauty Of this Easter night!
The moon shines 20 brightly that the
dew on grass and flowers sparkles like
Jewels and every object stands out
clear and distinct. While we enjoy the
beauty Of this heavenly orb 1t matches
an idea in our busy brains. This bright
moonlight night, we say, will help rs
to see Nance and Robert walk up the
path to the door. We are on our way
home from the evening service. We
hasten our steps to go to our room ana
stand behind the thin, soft drapery OF
our window. They are coming, with
slow steps-the clear moonlight shines
full on Nancy's face. How sweet 1t
looks in the depths of that lovely Bas-
ter bonnet! They stand and talk in
low, serious voice. Presently Nance
drops her head, bonnet and all, on Rob-
ert's shoulder and, strange, but true,
Roberts head disappears in the depths
of the Easter bonnet. We rush from
the window, covered with shame to
feel that we have spied on so sacred
scene. We only wanted to see how the
bonnet would look by moonlight. with
Robert walking in its shadow.

net whose history l have just written.
The years have dulled the soft tint of
the leghorn, and the majestic bows of
ribbon are faded and crushed, as are
also the clustering roses under the
Drim. But the sweet face of sister
Nancy's grandchild, all aglow in its
depths, looks almost the same as the
face 1t first sheltered and by which 1t
was adorned on the Easter of long ago.
