many of the observances which 1t he
queathed to Easter. Thus 1t was for
merly custom all through the north
of Germany, on the night of Easter
Sunday or the third night followiaa-ato
kindle bonfires on all the heiN
fOrding a masniaecur sDectag
these fires We're to be seen ersgand
there over miles of country. This Gus
tom had become simply a mode of
merrymaking but it is held with plaus-
Utility that originally the bonfire was
symbolical of the new fire that was to
warm the earth and quicken it into re-
newed life after the cold embrace of
winter.
Ancient Popular Belief.
Another indication of the ancient
solar character of this festival Is an
old popular belief, said to survive still
in Brandenburg and Saxony, that the
sun at the moment of rising on the
morning of Easter gives three joyous
| leaps, that he dances with youthful
joy. This curious belief was not con-
| fined to Germany. In the middle dis
tricts of Ireland, according to Brand,
it was customary, after spending East
er eve in merrymaking and carOus-
ing-watching the pot boil, the con-
tents of which were to break the long
Lenten fast, yet must not be touched
before the growing of the cock-fOr
the whole company of jewellers to go
out just at daybreak to see the rising
sun take his three Easter leaps. Sir
Thomas Browne, writing of popular
errors, mentions thus quantity the ex-
istence of this belief In England: ave
shall not. ! hope, disparage the resur-
rection Of our Redeemer, IL we say that
| the sun doth not dance on Easter day;
and though / would willingly assent
unto any sympathetic exultation, vet
we cannot conceive therein more than
a tropical (figurative) expression"
| Perhaps there Is no more striking Illus
tration than this Of the power of an
Inherited belief to live on In spite of
the testimony of all experience against
1t. In some places, apparently as an
alternative for giving up the belief
wholly, 1t was held that In order to
witness these three leaps one must
| look. not at the sun itself, but at the
reflection of it in pool of clear water.
AS last resort, to save the belief the
sun might be made to dance. Brand
could recall that when he was a how
he had seen "a vessel full of water set
in the open air, in which the reflected
sun seemed to dance, from the treuu-
lOus motion of the water" IF the
mountain will not come to Mahomet
then Mahomet must 60 to the monn-
tain.
Among the customs handed down
through long ages and accepted nv the
Church were those of Easter eggs ard
the Easter tale which the preacher told
from the pulpit, In lieu of sermon
connecting 1t with Christian rem,n,s-
cences. Later still there were In car.
many dramatic shows, named ooter-
spiele, executed by twelve performers
one OF whom, apparently, was the
leader, and represented Summer koot.
Ing Winter out Of the land. The ss..cas
and sports prevalent at this season IN
Germany among the youths ann maid.

ness characteristic OF the fioral gsmes

THE TRAIN THAT SAVED
A NATION
How the Red Cross Helped
Roumania.

Have you heard of what happened
In Roumania when that stricken nation
stood In rags and starving before the
shocked eyes of the world? We had
thought ourselves grown used to trag-
edies until this greater horror struck
blow that reused still untouched
sympathies.
And yet we felt so helpless, you and
l, so terribly weak in our ability to of
fer aid. But were we? After all,
were we not the very ones who car
ried new life and hope to the heart of
Rotrmania? You shall be your own
judge.
Fighting with the desperation of de-
spair, the shattered Roumanian army
still struggled to beat off the Kaiser's
bloody Huns, who were mercilessly
trampling the life out of the little
kingdom. And the Kaiser smiled bru-
tally as he saw his wolves at work
and knew that from behind the lines,
attacking the fighting men of Rouma-
MIA from the rear, entering the homes
where mothers chung to the frail, dis
torted forms of their babies-was star
walton.
No country around Roumania could
help her-and America was too far
away. Thousands would die before
supplies held in our own country could
be sent her.
Hope was gone. Death by hunger
and by the dripping sword of the Kali
ser was closing in. A brave little ma
ton was being torn to pieces
Then came the miracle. One morn
ing the streets of Jassy, the war capt. !
tai of Roumania swelled with sounds
OF rejoicing. A city where the day be-
fore there was heard nothing but the
walls of the starving and the lamenta-
lions Of those mourning their dead
now was awakened by shouts of joy.
You, my friend; you who have help
ed in the heroic work of the American
Red Cross, had gone to the rescue of
Roumania A train Of 81 big freight
cars packed to their utmost capacity
with food, clothing and medicine, tons
upon tons of it, had arrived In Jassy
after making record breaking trip
from the great store houses of the
American Red Cross in Russia. Other
trains followed it; thousands were fed
and clothed and nursed back to health.
For weeks and even to this day the
brave people of Roumania are being
cared for in countless numbers by our
own Red Cross.
So was Roumanla helped, and when
history records how this last fragment
OF a sturdy nation was kept out Of the
hands OF the terrible Huns 1t will give
the victory to your American Red
Gross.

Compare Your Baby's
First -Four Years
With This

In 1913 little Marie was born in vii
lage not far from Mezieres, IL the
Ardennes.
In 1914 Marie's father, called to the
colors, fell at the Marine. And Marie
and her mother stayed in the village,
which was now in the Germans hands.
In 1915 a poster was pasted up on
the door of the village church, and
that night Marie's mother vanished,
along with score or more of 'other
women.
In 1916 Marie was still living in that
village-existing through the charity
of the few elderly folk the Germans
permitted to stay.
In 1917 Marie, with all the children
under fourteen years and all the old
people left alive in the village, was
bundled into a crowded car and
shipped into Germany, round through
Switzerland and thence into France,
arriving at Evian. She was underfed,
of course, emaciated. sickly. dirty, too
lightly dressed for the time of year.
And she came into Evian with not
relative, not friend left in all France
to take care of her.
Who took her? Your Red Crossi
Over there in Evian your Red Cross
took charge of her, cared for her in
the Red Cross Children's Hospital,
clothed her, fed her, built up her
strength, taught her to play-and then
helped the French authorities find her
a HOME.
Multiply Marie by 500 and you will
have some idea of just one days work
your Red Cross does at Evian. 1t is
only one of the Red Cross activities in
France, to be sure-but for just that
me alone can you help being proud of
t? Can you help being glad you are
| member of it, supporting its great
york of humanity? Can you help want
ng it to go on helping the Maries and
he 'grand-daddies" that come In at
lvian?
