ALWAYS IN BALMY SUNSHINE
Climate of the Bermudas Makes the
Islands Appear Much Like
Paradise on Earth.

Some fanciful writer's have declared
that the Isles of Bermuda are the rem
nants of the lost continent of Atlantis,
now at the bottom of the Atlantic
ocean!
From this premise has grown the
legend that the tabled land was
place of perpetual sunshine, of Ian
guorous ease for it's inhabitants, of per-
petual Joy amid perennial flowers. and
abundant luscious fruit
1t was fair, perhaps, SO to argue,
when the major premise had been
balmy sunshine, and all the accom-
panying delights The climate is de-
lightful at all seasons; rarely does the
thermometer go below go degrees in
winter or above 80 degrees in summer.
Vegetation is very rapid and the soil
is clad in perpetual mantle of green.
On all sides, color; birds of brilliant
plumage cardinal birds,
blue birds of vivid hue unknown to
our more somber cline; fishes of equal
ly bright shades and fantastic form !;
and flowers past all belief Oleander
hedges line every roadside in bloom
the year round. Stately palms OF
many species, the broad leaves of the
banana and plantain, the great spikes
of the Spanish bayonet, huge aloes, the
spreading fans of the palmetto, and
many other tropical trees and shrubs
abound on every side.

FROM GIRLHOOD TOO OLD
AGE WOMEN ARE HELPED

At the first symptoms OF any de-
rangement of the feminine organism
at any period of life the one safe, really
helpful remedy is Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for every conceivable all
ment and disease of womanly nature.
1t is woman's temperance medicine
and it's ingredients are published on
wrapper.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
true friend to women in times of
trial and at times of pain when the
organs are not performing their func-
tions. For headache, backache, hot
flashes, catarrhal conditions, bearing
down sensations, mental depression,
dizziness, fainting spells, women
should never fail to take this tried and
true women'S medicine.

EASTER IN HEARTS OF MEN
ton Has Been Added to Through
out the Centuries.

r HRIST is risen" The choirs sing
- about it. The preachers proclaim
it. The multitudes believe it. Does it
seem strange that because a small
group of sad-eyed. discouraged men
and women, almost two thousand
years ago, suddenly came to believe
that a man they had loved had re-
turned to life after being executed on
the cross, people should still believe
1t today? Nineteen centuries is a long
time, and Palestine is far away. How
is it that the belief of the first Chris
tians has laid hold upon us?
1t is not enough to explain it as an
old tradition, handed down from gen
Grafton to generation. If 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, it
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 a 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 tht
hour of their temptation. and his arm
has sustained them. Such as they dC

OBSERVANCE OF
EASTER SUNDAY
.HE observance of Easter Sun
day dates back to the founding
of the early Christian church,

TNHE 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
crucified 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. and. accord
ing to sacred accounts, found Christ
had gone
The stone which sealed the mouth of
the tomb was rolled away. At first
they we're filed 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
surance that all could conquer the
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
served by the citizens of Jerusalem at
the time of the cruciixion. The fol-
lowers of Christ continued to observe
the feast Of the Passover. but the OBJ
servance 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 It 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 to
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 paschal lamb oi
the early Christian church with the
feast of the coming of spring of tht
Saxons.
Ostara, the goddess of spring of thu
Saxons, was worshiped in England anC
Germany before the first missionarie!
to the north OF Europe brought tht
story of Christ. The Saxons, in &C
cepting Christianity, continued to oh
serve their old teasts just as the Jew
ish Christians continued to observe
the feast of the Passover. The mis-
sionaries persuaded the Saxons to ac
cept the feast of the paschal lamb ant
simply change the name to that of tn
feast of Ostara. which later was angli
clzed to Easter
The Easter egg also had it's origil
among Christians The people o
northern Europe hunted eggs in tn
springtime. believing that it was goo
luck to find them and eat them. o
course wild birds laid eggs only in tn
spring of the year The Christia
missionaries to our ancestors saw a
opportunity to win men to a belief i

May Deserve Immortality.

1t does not lessen the immortal hope
that it grows out of mans reluctance
to vanish like candle flame in end

good soil for hope of Immortality to

fllment and love completion some
where in the universe of God makes
man worthy of immortality. If he did
not yearn for it, of what advantage
would it be to him.? 1t may Or may
not be within our power to command
immortality-the theories differ about
that, but it is within our power to
deserve it, Above all it is within our
power to live immortally even in this
