1t is very probable that the term
lily as used in the Holy Land was
general, not referring to any particu-
lar species, but to a large class of
flowers growing in Palestine, and re-
sembling the lily, as the tulip, iris,
gladiolus and the like. Thompson,
for instance, in his Land of the
Book" describes magnificent iris,
which he calls the Hulch lily, view

OLD-TlNE EASTERS~F Festivals and Tales From the Pulpit
Were Looked Forward To by the People,

In olden days, religious and secular
amusements joined, the church's fes-
tivals were the peoples only holi-
days, the church itself the only thea
ter and the monks the actors.
Throughout the year they gave
miracle plays suited to the season,
illustrating some Bible story, and at
Eastertide a realistic representation
of the resurrection was performed.
When the play was over the monks
watched all night beside the tomb,
for there was a widespread belief
that Christ's second coming would
take place on Easter morning. In
fact, this practice was continued un-
til the Reformation.
1t was also the custom up to the
eighteenth century for the priest to
tell an Easter tale" from the pulpit,
to enliyen the people after the gloom
of Lent. Here is an example: A
blacksmith and his wife who had Of
fered hospitality to stranger found
that they had entertained an angel
unawares. On leaving, he offered to
grant any request they might make.
The wife asked to be made sure of
heaven, whereupon the guest replied

that period the fashions demanded
this material for an astonishing va
riety of purposes. There were gauze
caps, gauze bonnets, gauze aprons,
gauze kerchiefs, founced gauze petit
coats, and even gowns of gauze. But
most of all was gauze needed for the
high head dresses of that epoch,
which could hardly be put together
and held in place without it.
So late as the year 1882, in a Lon
don fashion journal, a tonsorial "art-
ist" is found advertising "a new meth
cd of stuccoing the hair in the most
fashionable taste, to last with very
little repair during the whole session
of parliament. Price only five gui-
meas. N. Bile takes but one hour
to build the head and two for baking
it."
The Eastertide costume of a lady
in 1776, when she walked on the
street, was likely to include a mask
of white or colored silk. If she rode
on horseback she would wear a "rid-
ing mask" and the very latest fash
ion at that period was such a mask
provided with a fiat silver plate, to
be held between the teeth for secur-
ing it in position. 1t should be un-
derstood, however, that these masks
were worn not for a disguise, but to
protect the complexion. The women
of today still wear masks for the
same purpose, but call them wells
and they are made of net or lace in
stead of silk

The lily is the Easter flower be-
cause it is the glorious bloom of
Christs country. 1t is abundant on
the hills of Nazareth, and in the later
winter the regions over which he
walked glowed and radiated with en-
trancing color, while the air was
fragrant with perfume. The Hebrew
word for the flower is shushan, sho-
shan or shoshannah, and though there
is little doubt the word denotes some
plant of the lily species. it is by no
means certain what class it specially
designates. In the Holy Land there
are. lilies that hold the purpling blue
of eastern skies; that glow with the
blood-red fire of the deserts dusty
sunset; that have the pure white of
spiritual appeal and the grace in
curve and line that touch the senses
like a strain of exquisite music.
AS we of the West know the lily,
the more cultivated species are the
white or Madonna lily, the tiger or
tiger spotted lily, and the golden
lily. A white lily in art and herald
ry symbolizes purity. and in the pic
lures of the Annunciation is often
placed in the hands of the Angel Ga
briel. Lilies choir the golden way to
Paradise" says a medieval writer;
which, in the values of the present,
is given in the appreciation of Can
adian woman on first beholding the

and dainty materials for the making
of undergarments.
There were, however, a great many
women in the various colonies who,
long before the coming of the war,
had made up their minds to do with
out pretty things, so far as was
practicable. We read of pretty Patty
Parsons, during the British occupan-
cy of Philadelphia, who cut up the
embroidered sky-blue satin waistcoat
which her grandfather had worn at
the English court, and made out of
it "jockey''-deemed by admirers
most becoming. And of another girl,
a friend of Patty's, who converted a
troopers scarlet coat into a jacket,
using the leftover pieces to make a
pair of warm gloves, which she bound
with gray squirrel fur. The collar
and cuffs of the jacket were likewise
of squirrel fur, which excellently
matched gray homespun skirt.
In those times it was no very seri-
Gus undertaking for a young woman
to make a pair of gloves for herself.
Indeed, though fine and expensive
gloves were imported from France,
ordinary ones for everyday wear
were commonly manufactured al
home.
Mrs. Alice M. Earle Ito whose
books of high historic value the wri-
ter acknowledges indebtedness) says
that of all deprivations suffered by
women during the Revolution none
was so severe as that of gauze. Al

EASTER OF l76--Femnine Finery Hard to Procure in
That Year of the Revolutionary War

There was famine of finery in inn
mediate prospect for the women of
the American colonies at Eastertide
in the year 1776. They were destined
thereafter, through a long and very
dark period, to undergo many severe
deprivations in this respect-not the
least of them being lack of pins.
Think, 0 We fair ones, of trying to
get along without pins! But it had
to be done, for the colonies were de-
pendent upon Europe for their sup
ply of pins, as well as for many other
things, and this was cut off by the
war. Even the most fashionable la
dies of Boston and other centers of
population were compelled to have to
resort to thorns for the fastening of
their garments, and history tells us
that the spines of certain cacti act
ually were utilized to a considerable
extent.
Ours is supposed to be the age of
luxury par excellence, in dress as in
other matters, and yet the women of
today are not more beautifully attired
than were those of the well-to-do
class in the colonies during the pc
riod just before the Revolution. They
wore silks, satins and laces as ex.
quisite as any that can be found in
our modern shops-fetched, of course,
by trading vessels from France-to-
gether with all sorts of other costly
feminine gear, including ribbons,
trimmings, stockings, gloves, shoes

asked him to sit down on his anvil
for a few moments while he settled
his affairs. He did so, and once
again found himself at Williams
mercy, who would not let him go till
he had been granted further lease
of life.
When this last term was up the
devil came for his victim. But the
willy smith worked on his vanity,
said he had heard of his power as a
worker of miracles, and asked if he
could, for instance, make himself
small enough to creep into the fue.
Anxious to show off, the enemy of
mankind did so, and once there the
smith took him to the fire and ham
mered him till he was glad to sue for
mercy on any terms, and willingly
granted him another twenty years of
life.
At the end of these, the smiths
guardian angel came for him and
took him to the gate of heaven, but
Peter refused him admittance. He
then threw his green cap in over the
wicket, and, in accordance with the
angels promise, was allowed to en-
ter and remain with it.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTE
TO REBUILD CARNEGIE HALL

Maryville, April 19.-At meeting
of the executive committee of the
board of directors of Maryville col
lege held Tuesday, it was voted to
Immediately undertake a campaign
for the purpose of raising $25,00O
with which to rebuild Carnegie hall,
the mems dormitory which was de-
stroyed in the recent fire. The cam
paign will be under the management
of Rev. r. I. Canon, D. D., of Knox
vile, and plans for it are now in
process of formation.
This sum of money added to the
insurance of $4,000, will be sufficient
to not only rebuild the dormitory as
it was before the fire, but to also add
one additional story to the building,
thus accommodating 317 male stu
dents. This addition is made neces-
sary by the fact that the school is
constantly growing, and even before
the building was destroyed, many stu
dents were forced to seek rooms out
side the college campus.
In view of the fact that Maryville
college has been the alma mater of
three generations of Tennesseans, it
is expected that it will be an easy
matter to secure the necessary gifts
for the erection of the building. Sub
scriptions will be received on five
year basis.
The present enrolment at the col
lege is 804, representing students of
all religious beliefs. The school is
heavily endowed, but the board of
directors are forbidden from taking
even one dollar of the endowment
fund for improvements to the prop
erty, hence the necessity for cam
paign to raise the needed funds.

PUBLIC COMMENT ON

note is a strong one" said Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela'

to do anything"
Raleigh News and Observer: Pres
ident Wilson is right in declaring
that there is but one course which
the United States can pursue %
that Germany's actions have not
squared with the pledges it has made

further. That patience, which long

States. We have come to a parting
of the ways.
Atlanta Constitution: The atti'
tude of the President does not neces-
sarily mean war. But it means Ger
many must come to the American
position, which is one simply and
solely of humanity, or must shoulder

deferred further the ultimatum which

say whether he wants to continue

DANGERS OF DRAFT

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is
Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore Muscles
or sometimes an attack of Rheuma-
tism. In such cases apply Sloan's
Liniment. 1t stimulates circulation
to the sore and painful part. The
blood flows freely and in short
time the stiffness and pain leaves.
Those suffering from Neuralgia or
Neuralgia Headache will find one or
two applications of Sloan's Liniment
will give grateful relief. The agon-
izing pain gives way to a tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth
and quiet rest and sleep is possible.
