EASTER OBSERVANCE

| Easter day opened cloudy and cold
| but this did not keep people away
! from their churches. Our streets were
crowded with people going to the
early morning and to the 1920 o'clock
| services. In the afternoon at about
| four o'clock the sun came out and it
was warm and spring-like after that,
| and it is wonderful the amount of life
| those few hours of sunshine put into
the inhabitants of Wausau.
Easter was generally observed in
Wausau last Sunday and all its people
went to church, when again the Easter
| message was proclaimed. The Easter
season brought with it great rejoicing
! over the resurrection of Christ which
| this great day commentaries. Easter
tide celebrates the triumph of hope
over agony, of faith over death, and
brings with it peace, joy and gladness.
Impressive Easter services were held
in all of Wausau's churches. Special
Easter music had been prepared for
this day, and the churches were pro-
fusely decorated with pretty flowers
and plants in recognition of the glor-
ious festal day. The Easter programs
in the churches were carried out as
published in our last issue. Sacred
concerts were given in some of the
churches on Sunday evening. The
Sunday school children also took ac-
tive part in the Easter day programs.
The hunting and eating of Easter
eggs was also observed on Sunday by
the children. The origin of the Easter
egg came from the countries across
the sea. The people hunted eggs in
the springtime believing that it was
good luck to find them and eat them.
The christian missionaries to our an
cestOrS saw an opportunity to win the
people to believe in christianity by
combining the egg-hunting day with
Easter. The egg was shown to typify
life. AS the chick lies imprisoned in
the egg only to burst forth, so will
our bodies lie in the tomb only to be
resurrected at the call of God. The
hunting and eating of Easter eggs is
generally observed throughout the
countries.
The Feast of the Passover, a Jewish
religious ceremony, was celebrated by
the Jews the past week. The season
began last Tuesday evening at sun
down and continued for seven days.
GOOu FRIDAY was appropriately Cd
served in the city churches and in
some, communion was held in con-
nection with the services. Evening
meetings were held in the churches
during the Holy Week.
A feature of the Easter day was the
Knights Templar service at the First
Universalist church at o'clock p. m.
The Sir Knights met in the Temple at
2:30 o'clock and from there marched
to the church. There was a large
turn out, fifty Sir Knights being in
line. There was music by a special
choir. The Templar ritual service
of reading, responses and music was
used, and Rev. VIM. H. Gould preached
an eloquent sermon along Templar
lines. The services were largely at
tended by others than the Templars.

$4,000 CASE WON BY RY. co.

The celebrated Marcouiller cases
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway Co., which have been
in court since December, 1914, were
finally settled by a jury at Merrill,
Thursday, when it returned a verdict
for the defendant company. The cases
involved $4,000 in both actions and
arose out of the alleged assault on
Celina Marcouiller, by negro porter,
while she was a passenger on the par
lor car enroute to Chicago. The cases
attracted unusual interest owing to
the fact that one of the plaintiffs at
torneys was former Governor Francis
Z. McGovern. The other attorneys
for plaintiff were G. NJ. Sheldon of
Tomahawk; F. ]. Smith, Merrill. H. ].
Killen and r. L. Van Doren of Milwau
kee and Patrick T. Stone of this city
represented the defendant Railway Co.
The cases were bitterly contested, but
the jury was out only few hours be-
fore returning a verdict for the de-
PENDANT.

ted with pink roses and smilax, and
places were arranged for the bride
