IN NO corner of this whimsical old
world of ours can there be found
E more traditions of Eastertide than
those treasured in the heart of the
Macedonian race, on the border be-
tween Europe and Asia.
Even before the forty days fast is
quite over the rejoicing that is to
flower full blown at Easter begins, GRO
cuswise, to push it's bright way upward
through the gloom of abstinence and
vigil says a writer in the Housekeeper.
On Palm Sunday, in little bands of
three and four the Palm Maidens,"
each flourishing a festive gold-embroid-
cred handkerchief, go from house to
house singing their happy carols.
Holy Thursday, radiant with red
sashes from every balcony-futtering
symbols of the brightness of the spring
is the great egg-dyeing day With
the first egg dyed the fond mother
forms the sign of the cross upon the
face and neck of her dear, wee nes-
Ting, saying: "Mayest thou grow as
red as this egg and strong as stone
Then gently she places it beside the
icon of the Virgin where it remains
during the coming year-perhaps for
tender reminder to the holy image Of
the wish that the earthly mother has
just uttered that the divine mother
may grant it's fulfillment.
At twelve o'clock Easter even a mid
night mass is celebrated. The gospel
is read in the churchyard beneath
the silent stars" There follows the
joyous hymn Christ is Risen"-the
glad outburst Of firearms, the Clatter,
ing tongues of bells. The priest, hold
ing up lighted candle, bids all Come
and receive light" and in happy confu-
sion the throng lights it's candles.
With these little Pickering torches
in their eager hands, they turn to the
church. The doors are closed and
locked Loudly they knock, their
voices raised in solemn chant:
Lift the gates, o We rulers of ours,
and We eternal gates be lifted, for there
will enter Christ, the King of Glory"
A voice within demands who is
this King of Glory?"
And the answer breaks forth exult-
antly: "He is the Lord, strong and
powerful. He is the Lord mighty in
war;"
AS you catch the spirit of it all and
make it your own, do you wonder that
the church doors open and that men
and women crowd in to worship the
risen King?
Home from the service, many slip
red eggs under their sleeping chill
dren's pillows that when the little ones
awake Easter morning they may dis
cover that Paschalia, the female per
sonification of Easter, has surprised
the household with fairy visit.
A lamb roasted whole is the distinc-
tive dish of the Christian Passover din
ner, a very love feast when all past
grievances are forgiven and happiness
flows with wine.

II AN Easter Greeting to Every
Child Who Loves Alice" The af-
fectionate earnest words-so charac.
teristic of Rev. G. |. Dodgson and so
Unexpectedly serious from the author
of the White Rabbit and the Mock
Turtle-were printed on tiny open
sheet Of paper autograph, and in
scribed with the Christian name of
every child to whom it was sent on
Easter eve. 1t read as follows:
Dear Child:
Please to fancy, if you can, that you
are reading a real letter. from a real
friend whom you have seen, and whose
voice you can seem to yourself to
hear wishing you, as do now with all
my heart, happy Easter.
Do you know that delicious dreamy
feeling when one first wakes on a sum-
mer morning, with the twitter Of birds
in the air and the fresh breeze coming
in at the open Window-When, lying
laZily with eyes half shut, one sees
as if in dream green boughs waving
or waters ripping in a golden light?
1t is a pleasure very near to sadness,
bringing tears to ones eyes like a
beautiful picture or poem. And is not
that a mothers gentle hand that I'M
draws your curtains and a mothers
sweet voice that summons you to rise?
To rise and forget, in the bright sun
light, the ugly dreams that frightened
you so when all was dark-to rise and
enjoy another happy day, first llneel-
ing to thank that unseen friend who
sends you the beautiful sun?
And these strange words from a
writer Of such tales as Alice? And
is this a strange letter TO find in a
book of nonsense? 1t may be so. Some
persons may blame me for this mixing
together things grave and gay; others
may smile and think it odd that any
one should speak of solemn things at
all, except in church and on a Sunday:
but think-nay, am sure-that some
children will read this gently and low
ingly and in the spirit in which have
written it.
For l do not believe God means us
thus to divide life into two halves-to
wear a grave face on Sunday and to
think it out-of-place to even so much
as mention him on a week day. Do
you think he cares to see only kneeI-
ing figures and to hear only tones of
prayer-and that he does not also love
to see the lambs leaping in the sun
light, and to hear the merry voices of
the children as they roll among the
hay? Surely their innocent laughter
is as sweet to his ears as the grandest
anthem that ever rolled up from the
dim religious light" Of some solemn
cathedral!
And if | have written anything to
add to these stories of innocent and

HAS INSPIRED
GREAT ARTISTS
Subject of the Resurrection Al
ways One That Has Called
Forth Their Best
Efforts.

pTVHE Christian artist, about the
fourth century, when he made
III his first hesitating attempts to
treat the subject Of Easter,
carefully refrained from showing
the risen Lord at the moment of
resuscitation. With a proper rever-
ence for the Scriptures, he refused to
show what they did not reveal. He de-
picted an empty tomb, watched by the
Roman guard, or visited by the holy
women A sarcophagus in the Lateran
museum simply shows a labarum, or
Roman standard, under which the
keepers are fast asleep Even the tomb
is only suggested. The Louvre has a
bas-relief in silver-gilt which formerly
belonged to the Abbey of ST. Denis,
where we see an angel showing the
Savior's empty tomb to the two Marys.
A more realistic representation is
Thomas touching the Savior's wounds,
which may be seen upon an early sar-
cophagus, preserved in the church of
st. Celso at Milan.
This chaste reserve, which was con-
tent to depict only what was described
by the Gospel narrative, was main
tanned by Christian art until the thir
teenth century, when, under the infiu-
ence of the Renaissance, men began to
paint the actual resurrection itself
with a conscious striving for dramatic
effect. There is an early representa-
ton which shows the upper half of the
Savior's body appearing above the
grave, and also a representation of his
appearance to Mary Magdalene, by
Duccio Of Siena (1255-1319), who,
with Giotto of Florence first attempt
ed to find a new artistic formula in
the observation of life. 1t Is to Giotto
that we owe our first representation
of the resurrection. In small picture,
which formed one of a series of panel
decorations upon press for sacred
vessels, in the sacristy of st. CToCe,
Florence, now in the Florence acad-
envy, he shows us the risen Christ,
lightly standing with the cross and
banner of victory in his right hand,
upon the heavy slab which covers the
still closed tomb. The angel does not
appear, but the Roman guards are
sleeping beside the tomb. The Savior S
feet barely touch the tomb and the
whole impression is that OF an ethereal
body no longer subject to the physical

healthy amusement that are laid up id
books for the children l love to loolI
back upon without shame and sorrow
Cas how much of life must then be
recalledD when my turn comes tC
walk through the valley of shadows.
This Easter sun will rise on you
dear child, feeling your life in every
limb" and eager to rush into the fresh
morning air-and many an Easter day
will come and go before it finds YOU
feeble and gray-headed, creeping
YEARLY out to bask more in the sun
light-but it is good, even now, t.
think sometimes of that great morning
when the Sun of Righteousness shall
arise with healing in his wings"
Surely your gladness need not be TIL
less for the thought that you will on
day see brighter dawn than this
when lovelier sights will meet you
eyes than any waving trees or ripplin|
waters-when angel-hands shall M
draw your curtains, and sweeter tond
than ever loving mother breathed sha|
wake you to a new and glorious day-|
and when all the sadness, and the 81
that darkened life on this little ear
shall be forgotten like the dreams

RISE TO new LIFE old EASTER RITES
Assurance of Immortality to All
Those Who Have Died
With Christ.
VEVHE resurrection of Jesus signals
' yiCtory-ViCtOry for himself vic

VIZ HE resurrection of Jesus signals
victory-victory for himself, vic
> III tory over death, over his enc
mics, over all timid and doubling
lsouls-and establishes the efficiency Of
the atonement, the seal of Gods APPROX
al, the integrity OF his teaching and the
assurance of immortality. In this life
he brought life and immortality to
light" Upon this historic fact Of the
resurrection of Jesus is based the
whole Of our Christianity. If no resur-
rection, there is no Immortality there
is no forgiveness; there is no reality
to testimony, and no hope of immortal
ity-and no word of truth regarding it.
Easter day is a victory over doubt,
darkness and death.
We older children grope our way
From dark behind, to dark before,
And only when our hands we lay
Dear Lord in thine, the night is day,
And there is darkness nevermore.
In his victory-in his triumphant
life-the life of one who was dead, but
lives forevermore, we feel that he does
reach downward to our sunless days -
when faith is small and hope fingers,
and takes our hands of prayer and
makes us feel his light.
Thou madest death: and 10, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made;
Thou art just
Somehow we feel that here we have
the GROWING demonstration of his di7
vine Sonship and Messiahship. THAT
he was teacher come from God" for
never man spake like this man" and
his victory was signaled by his enc
gone after him" He was never so uni
versally and essentially popular as he
is this hour.
You never really lived till he came
into your life. De Quincy scented the
true vision: Il will walk abroad; old
griefs shall be forgotten; l shall wash
the fever from my brow | shall be
unhappy no longer
So do we, dying to sin, rise to new
ness of life.
Dying with Christ, dying to all I'm
holy desires, unworthy motives, i'm
pure thinking, base ideals, vulgar hab
it's, to all hatred and malice, Jealousy
and envy, bitterness and evil speaking
pride and conceit; dying with him tC
these. we rise to newness Of life. Ev
erything changes.
Something went out to our temple
house, that inner sacred sanctuary
and something else has been put in
New loves, new passions, new ideals
new purposes, new and glorious per
sonality, the glorious crown Of all crea
ton, reigns in triumph. The things
you once loved you do now hate, an(
the very things you once hated you de
now love Everything has actual!
changed, and the psychology of it il
perfect and the victory logical and nat
ural. Life is now worth while.
There are new men and women
souls that live as if he sat in the sea
beside them, walked through the Office
and out into the street, a real com
! panion.
He leaves his command: Walk al
children of light. Then shall thy ligh
break forth as the morning, and thint
obscurity be as the monday, and | will
guide thee continually, and make the

The Savior'S Teachings.

1t is said of Jesus that he brought
life and immortality to light" That
he brought life to light we know. Life
is more abundant. vastly richer for
his influence than it ever was before.
1t is also true that he brought immor-

never known it before.
