We are about to give order and or

ourselves, but for the other peoples

have dwelt of late upon Europe, upon
Asia, upon the near and far east,
very little upon the acts of peace and

formed at our own doors. While we

All Had Visions Of Immortality.

Job and David and the author of &c
clesiastes had clear visions of immor-
taiity and many Hebrew phrases in the
Old Testament denote an accepted be-
lief in continuous existence. The pagan
world had this hope. holding it as n
common belief of the future felicity Of
the faithful, which was an inspiration
to virtue. Socrates emphasized this, ac-
cording to Plato's Phaedo. and Cicero
felt Its urging when he spoke of the
soul of his beloved friend Cato "often

commenced my envy died, and 1 real

Is diplomacy. There were 10 men in
our section. and they soon formed a
semicircle around us after the corporal
had called out. "Rations up"
The quartermaster sergeant had
given a slip to the corporal on which
was written n list Of the rations. Sit
ting on the floor, using n wooden box
as n table, the issue commenced. On
the left of the corporal the rations
were piled. They consisted of the fol-
lowing:
Six loaves of fresh bread. each loaf
of different size, perhaps one out of
the six being as fiat as pancake, the
result of nm army service corps man

also received the tea. sugar, salt, pep

Scratching his head. the corporal
studied the slip issued to him by the
voice he read out, "No. section, IL
men. Bread, loaves, six" He looked
puzzled and soliloqulzed in musing
voice:
"Slx loaves, nineteen men. Let's see,
that's three in loaf for fifteen men
well, to make 1t even, four of you'll
have to muck In on one loaf"
| The four that got stuck made howl,
but to no avail. The bread was dished
out. Pretty soon from far corner OF
the billet. three indignant Tommies ac-
costed the corporal with: s--
| "What do you call this, loaf OF
bread? Looks more like a sniping
plate"
The corporal answered:
swell, don't blame me, didn't bake
It; somebody's got to get 1t. SO shut
up until 1 dish out these blinkin' ra-
! tions."
Then the corporal started on the
jam.
Jam. three tins-apple one, plum
two. Nineteen men, three tins. Six

seven In the remaining tin"
He passed around the jam, and
there was another riot. Some didn't
like apple, while others who received
plum were partial to apple. After a
while differences were adjusted and
the issue went on.
Bermuda onions, seventeen"
The corporal avoided row by say
ing that he did not want an onion, and

and the means of furnishing sport to
the youngsters. The fires which
marked the triumph of spring over
winter in days gone by still burn, but
for commercial purposes or comfort,
rather than as symbols, of joy at the
changing of the seasons.
The coloring of the Easter eggs,
which are used so extensively in the
modern celebration of this day, comes
through centuries from beautiful
legend whose origin is unknown. Ac-
cording to the story. the Persian night
ingale, known as the "Bulbul' in the
Orient. played part at the time of the
resurrection of Jesus. When the body of
the Savior was placed in the tomb, and
the stone rolled before the door, one of
these beautiful birds was imprisoned
in the sepulcher.
The story goes on to tell that the
bird continued to sing during the time
that the body of the Christ was in the
tomb and that when the stone was
rolled from the door and He arose, it
was found that the eggs laid by the
bulbul In the tomb had turned to gold.
In commemoration of the miracles. the
story says, the eggs are colored on
Easter day. and the custom has con-
dnued through ages.

of Ages Observed
in the Churches.
.ASTER is here.

- Throughout the civilized
world millions of Christian peo-
pie will assemble in their places
of worship Easter Sunday to celebrate
the anniversary of the Resurrection.
The celebration of Easter dates back
to antiquity and the observance of the
day brings with 1t many of the GUS
toms which came from pagan times,
The celebration of Easter is always
an occasion for rejoicing-an express
sion of joy at the awakening of nature
from the sleep of winter and the mani-
festation of gladness at the rising of
the Son of Righteousness-the resur-
rection of Christ from the grave.
From time immemorial Easter has
been celebrated by all Christian COM
munities with the greatest solemnity,
the earlier day commemorations being
carried ON with ever more elaborate
rites than those of the present time.

True Easter Spirit.
In his Easter Hymn" Thomas
Blackburn httlngly expressed the
Easter spirit:
Awake. thou wintry earth
Fling OF thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers. laugh forth
Your ancient gladness.
Christ II risen.
For many centuries past the observ-
ance of Easter has been accompanied
with many odd customs. The use of
the eggs at this season dates back to
antiquity. Widely separated Christian
mythologies declare that eggs were
used in the Easter celebrations GEN.
turtles back, and that it was consid-
cred the symbol of resurrection. In
those times, as in the present day,
eggs were given by one person to an
other. and were kept as keepsakes.
Another custom Of the Eastertide
which has died out in all countries,
with the exception of Wales. was the
lighting of Easter fires on the noun
tainsides. 1t was in this manner that
the ancients celebrated the triumph of
spring over winter and showed their
gladness.
Centuries ago in France many
unique means were used to show the
joy of the populace at the coming of
spring and the Easter day. History
tells us that at many of the old cathe-
drals in that country, and, in fact. at
all places of worship, solemn game
of ball was played on Easter Sunday
The priests, canons and other digni-
taries of the church took part in this
solemn game, which was religiously
played each year.
All of the different modes of celebra-
ton, however, were for one purpose
alone. the expression of joy at the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Rites
and customs that would, at this day
and time, seem ludicrous, were per-
formed with the sincerity and solemn
rites with which we attend our
churches.
