ENGLAND FACES
 DANGER IF b|C RAILWAY STRIKE
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The situation resulting from the railway mems de- mand for an increase in wages of 10 shilling a week has become increas- ingly serious. At a meeting of 5000 railway workers at Cardiff today resolution was adopted providing that unless the demands are conceded by September 16 all railway work will be stopped in South Wales at midnight the 17th
 The resolution also stated that the advance in wages should date from July 1 and that the government should give a definite guarantee that in the future it will control the supply of food and regulate prices. Judging from the governments at titude hitherto regarding the question
 of the control of food. it's distribution and prices. there is little Likelihood
 that it will yield to such a demand, and should the railway workers in 1 the other parts of the country en- dorse the action of the South Wales men there IS danger of a general rail way strike.
 MT. Bellamy. president of the Ma | tional Railway Mems Union, speak l ing at Doncaster tonight. expressed the willingness of the men to with draw their demand for an increase of wages if the government would see
 that provisions were reduced to some
 thing like their prices before tn l war

THE PASCHGL CANDLE
SYMBOLISM OF THE LARGE CAN
DIE LIGHTED ON EASTER SAT-
URDAY.

1t is an ancient custom to have a
called the "Paschal Candle" in honor
of the Resurrection of Our Lord. On
Easter eve the perpetual light" that
had been removed to the front of the
sepulchre-and all other lights there,
or that might perchance happen to
be anywhere else in the church-were
solemnly eXtinguished. The hallowed
or 'holy fire. was then kindlcd in the
church porch by means of crystal or
burning glass, if the sun was sufIi-
GENTLY bright; and, if not, by means
of a new steel and flint. The fire
was blessed by the priest, and from
it was first kindIed the great :Paschal
Candle" and afterwards the perpetual
lamp, and other lamps and candles in
the church, according as light was
required. The devout had let their
hearth-fires die out at home and has
tened to the church to obtain fresh
light from the 'hallowed fire" for their
renewal. The Paschal Candle was
usually very large. In some of the
cathedral and abbey churches of Eng
land it was simply colossal. In 1857
the Paschal taper for the abbey Church
of Westminster weighed three hun
dred pounds. For the smaller English
country parish churches, fifteen pounds
was the usual weight The Pascha1
Candle is symbolical of the rising of
the Sun of righteousness from the
tomb, and is also type of the Pillar
of Fire which lights the spiritual
Israel through the wilderness of the
world. There are many ceremonies
connected With it, ESPECIALLY at Rome,
and it was known in England as early
as the days of the Norman conquest.

OLD EASTER CUSTOMS
HOW THE DAY is OBSERVED IN
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

The Easter sepulchre is d stone or
wooden structure more common in the
churches of the ancient days than in
those of the present
1t resembled in general design a
tomb, and generally stood OIL the north
side of the chancel. Though in use
only two days of the year. Il was ire
quently adorned with q wealth of
paintings, sculptures and bas-reliefs.
Easter sepulchres were especially
popular in Catholic England, and
more Or less mutilated remains of
them are still extant in some of the
great cathedrals and churches.
That the Church has considered
eggs as emblematical of the Resurrec-
ton may be gathered from the subse-
quent prayer, which may be found in
an extract from the Ritual of Pope
Paul x, for the use of England, Ire
land and Scotland:
BLESS, o Lord, we bescech Thee,
this Thy creature of eggs, that it may
become a wholesome suStCnance to
Thy faithful servants, eating it in
thankfulness to Thee, OH account of
the Resurrection of our Lord"
A custom called Clipping the
church" was kept up in Warwickshire,
England, on Easter Monday until the
beginning of the nineteenth century.
1t was performed by the children of
the different charity schools, who at
certain hour 1ocked together for the
purpose The first Corners placed
themselves hand in hand with their
backs against the church, and were
joined by their companions, who grad
ually increased in numbers, until at
last the chain was of sufficient length
to surround the sacred edifice. AS
soon as the hand of the last of the
train had grasped that of the first the
party broke up and walked in process
sion to other churches where the cere-
mony was repeated.
The celebration of Easter in the
United States is now an established
practice. New England was the last
section to adopt festival upon which
the settlers of Puritan Massachusetts
looked with particular adherence
Some of the states, like Virginia and
Louisiana, had always kept Easter
after fashion, and SO have certain
denominations, like the Anglicans and
Lutherans.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

Some time ago we read a notice
issued by big manufacturing con-
Germ that its employees must be total
abstainCrs. Alcohol is the enemy of
efficiency and must therefore be ban
ned at all times. The employer was
not interested in the moral welfare
of the employee; he merely gave no.
tice that the drinker, moderate or
otherwise, had to sever his cOnnGc-
ton with the firm. This seems to be
the watchword in the industrial world.
And it is sanctioned by public opinion.
Perhaps more significant is the at
titude of the majority towards the
selling of liquor. This is, of course,
legitimate business. 1t is also d
business that should alright any man
who is aware of his duties to him
self and fellows. Not so many years
ago it was viewed with the utmost
complacency. The rum-seller, always
jolly fellow, and generous to fault
with the money that came to him so
easily, was parsonage. He lived in
a big house and his customers lived
i'll the tenements; his wife and chill
dren eXulted in gorgeous raiment and
the contributors to his wealth were
in rags; but he went his way jOyfully
and not without respect. But some
how or other his prestige has been
dimmed, and his avocation viewed
with contemptuous pity by even
those who are far removed from fana-
ticism.
1t may be that public opinios has
no regard for man who gives moth
ing of Drawn or brain to the commun-
ity; or it may be due to the fact that
the saloon is destructive agency
that marches in the vanguard of mis-
cry and poverty and sin. The fact,
however, is that saloOnkceping bears
the badge of ignominy and is associ-
ated with inefTicienCy and degrade
ton. Catholic Record.
