sionaries persuaded the Saxons to ac-
cept the feast of the paschal lamb and
simply change the name to that Of the
feast of Ostara, which later was angli-
cized to Easter.
The Easter egg also had its origin
among non Christians. The people of
northern Europe hunted eggs in the
springtime, believing that it was good
luck to find them and eat them. OF
course wild birds laid eggs only in the
spring Of the year. The Christian
missionaries to our ancestors saw an
opportunity to win men to a belief in
Christianity by adopting the egg-hunt-
ing day and combining it 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 eggs is
observed today in Persia and in other
Asiatic lands where there is no Chris
tianity, showing that the custom does
not come with Christianity.

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. 1t is generally be-
lieved by all Christians that Jesus was
erucifed 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. anc, 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
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 first-born
In the houses Of the Egyptians. The
feast Of the Passover was being OBJ
tcrved by the citizens of Jerusalem at
the time of the crucifxion. The fol-
lovers Of Christ continued to observe
the feast OF the Passover. but the OBJ
kervance took on a new meaning.
The exact time of the feast was not
settled until the council Of Nice, called
by Emperor Constantine OF Rome In
the year 325. II 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.
II was left to the astronomers there 70
determine when Easter should come
The early Christians did not know
the feast by the name Of Easter. The
name is Of Saxon origin and came
from the feast OF the pnschal lamb OF

1t is not enough TO explain 1t as an
old tradition, handed down from gen
Grafton to generation. II the expert
ence OF the apostles and the three
Marys and the five hundred brethren
TO whom he made himself known were
the only reason for keeping Easter, 1t
is not probable that Easter would still
be kept. Faith that is only handed
on does not survive as this faith has
survived. There must be another rea
son.
The other reason is that there never
has been an age since the first Chris
tian age until now when there were
not among the people Of the earth
those to whom Christ had become liv-
ing person. The healing OF the seam
less dress has been by beds Of pain.
In the midst of the storm and the
stress Of life. despairing men and
women have reached out to touch him,
and they have touched him and been
made whole again. Martyrs, stretched
on the agonizing rack, have heard him.
Other martyrs, bound among the burn
ing fagots, have seen him in the fire.
Tempted men have sought him in the
hour Of their temptation, and his arm
has sustained them. Such as they do
not need to be told that long ago, on
Sunday morning in the spring, the
grave released him. They know that
he is released, for he has become the
living power Of their lives.
When the eleven, after the tragic
death of Judas, chose twelfth apostle,
they did so that he might become a
witness with them Of the resurrection.
Since then, from all nations and tribes,
a great company whom God alone can
number has been added to the chain
of witnesses. Daily their number is
increased. Easter is Easter. not be-
cause Jesus rose long ago, but be.
