EASTER

tlVal Will be celebrated, which is one
OF the two greatest festivals this world
observes. During the Christmas sea-
son God has revealed himself in hui
man life; Easter expresses our assur-
ance of immortality. The universal
! observance of these two festivals is
a witness to the vitality and power of
the truths for which they stand.
Easter is a church festival commemor-
! ating ChriSt's resurrection, and occur
ring on Sunday, the second day after
Good Friday. 1t is at this time of
the year that we all join in singing,
| Christ the Lord is risen, Peace good
| will on EARTH This is Holy Week
and will be observed by Wausau people
| generally. Special services being con-
| Quoted in our churches and the week
will be very quiet one.
! The children always look forward
! to Easter time with much pleasure.
1t is at this time of the year that the
Easter rabbits and chickens and East
er eggs put in their appearance. The
Easter eggs come in beautiful and
varied colors, such as blue, pink, vel
low, orange, red, purple, green, etc.
They are hidden, and on Easter morn
early hunting for them.
Easter parties are also given at
this time of the year, but it is likely
| that there will not be many this season,
due to the serious condition of our
country. Many of the students away
at school will be home for the Easter
season. 1t is hoped that in our camps
for soldier and sailor boys all over
this country and abroad there will be
proper services on this great day.
