EASTER SUNDAY
new YEARS DAY
Originally Marked the Beginning
of the Twelve Notwithstanding
Festivals in Vogue Long
Before the Time of
Christianity.
By REV. ARTHUR HOLT.

| ~ ASTER Sunday was formerly
- equivalent to New Years day
though not the first day Of the
year it was the day on which
the opening of the year was celebrated.
Historically the Christian Easter is
simply a continuation Of the Jewish
Passover, which was celebrated on the
18th day Of the first month of the Jew
ish year-that is, on the day Of the
first full moon next following the day
of the equinox. 1t has been questioned
whether any special observance Of this
day was practiced or enjoined by the
apostles and the early Church Fa-
theirs; yet the words of st. Paul Il Cor.
5:7-8) seem to sanction If they do not
recommend an observance of some sort
and foreshadow the thought which
came finally to underlie it: 'For even
Christ our passover is sacrificed for
us. Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven, neither with the
leavep Of malice and wickedness, but
with the unleavened bread of SINGER
ity and truth" According to the Jew
ish tradition, the Passover commence
rated the passing Of the Angel of
Death over the houses Of the Israelites
in Egypt, the doorposts and lintels of
which had been sprinkled with the
blood Of the paschal lamb. The Chris
tlans, in adopting the festival, gave it
a new significance. For them the Saw
Tor became the true Paschal Lamb, and
the new festival concentrated His
resurrection on the third day following
the Crucifxion.
The proper day for celebrating East
er was one Of the questions which the
Council of Nice "a. D. 325) was called
upon to decide. By the Eastern Chris
tians it was at that time celebrated on
the same day as the Jewish Passover,
without regard to the day Of the week
on which it might fall. Among the
Western Christians, who held that the
crucihxion occurred on a Friday and
the resurrection on Sunday, there
had arisen q custom Of celebrating
Easter on the first Sunday following
the 18th Of the first month, and to this
custom was given the official sanction
Of the council. Furthermore, the rule
then established for fixing upon the
proper Sunday was designed partly to
prevent the possibility Of Easter ever
falling on the same day as the Pass
over, but the rule has failed on several
occasions to prevent this coincidence.
and at rare intervals the two festivals
came together.
Changes In Calendar.
The old Roman year, like the Jewish
year. began in March. when the sun en-
tered the constellation Aries. When the

calendar was reformed under Julius
Caesar, the year was made to begin on
the FIRST day of January. After the
adoption Of Christianity In Europe, the
date Of the beginning Of the year was
changed to March in most countries, SO
that Easter became recognized as a
New Years day. The reform Of the
calendar by Pope Gregory, in 1882,
again changed the day on which the
year began, although in England 1t
continued to begin on the 25th of
March until the adoption Of the "new
style" there In 1852.
Christianity found Spring festivals
already In vogue in heather Europe,
and to these oldtime festivals many Of
the customs and superstitious rites still
connected with Easter are clearly
traceable. The name Easter, given to
the day by the Teutonic nations-the
Roman nations have retained the old
Hebrew name, pascha, under modified
forms. as the Jour de Paques, Of the
French-is derived by Bede from Eos
ter or Ostara, the name Of an old
Anglo-Saxon goddess, in whose honor
a Spring festival was celebrated.
Grimm was unable to find any mention
of deity Of this name among the an
Gent Germans, but from the fact that
the month of April still bears the name
ostermonat lin Old High German os-
tarmanoth), he did not doubt that such
a goddess, probably "the divinity OF
the radiant dawn" had been known
among them. The old Oster festival
was clearly Of solar character, eel
ebration in honor of the birth or the
of the sun Of the new
year. This is made evident, aside from
the known character Of similar festi-
walls In other parts Of the world, by

At the cost of small jar Of ordinary
cold cream one can prepare full quar-

lemons into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth SO no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion WIN keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach a dark
ened skin and remove such bEemlshes
as freckles, salloTness and tan and Is
the ideal skin softener and beauttner.
Just try I'll Get three sunces Of
orchard white at any drug store and

many Of the observances which 1t be-
queathed to Easter. Thus it was for
merly custom all through the north
Of Germany, on the night Of Easter
Sunday or the third night following, to
kindle bonfres on all the heights, af-
fording magnificent spectacle, when
these fires were to be seen here and
there over miles Of country. This Gus
tom had become simply a mode Of
merrymaking, but 1t 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,
1t was customary, after spending East
er eve In merrymaking and carous-
lng-watchlng 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: "We
shall not, hope, disparage the resur-
rection Of our Redeemer, If we say that
the sun doth not dance on Easter day:
and though / would willingly assent
unto any sympathetic exultation, yet
we cannot conceive therein more than
a tropical (figuratlve) 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
it. In some places, apparently as an
alternative for giving up the belief
wholly, it 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 a 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 boy
he had seen "a vessel full Of water set
in the open air, in which the reflected
sun seemed to dance, from the tremu-
lOus motion Of the water" If the
mountain will not come to Mahomet,
then Mahomet must go to the noun
tain.
Among the customs handed down
through long ages and accepted by the
Church were those Of Easter eggs and
the Easter tale which the preacher told
from the pulpit, in lieu Of sermon,
connecting 1t with Christian remlnis-
cenees. Later still there were In Ger
many dramatic shows, named Oster-
spiele, executed by twelve performers,
one Of whom, apparently, was the
leader, and represented Summer beat
ing Winter out Of the land. The dances
and sports prevalent at this season In
Germany among the youths and maid
ems appear sometimes to have been
marked with something Of the loose
ness characteristic Of the floral games

SPRAY FOR
COOLING MOTH

Fruit growers should make Gloss
inspection Of their orchards withiI
! the next week and decide whethl
there are enough apples to Justify
the expense Of a cover spray for the
second brood Of codHng moth
Ia many orchards / find indiyid
ual trees with a nice crop of apples
and in many trees a crop that would
justify spraying. 1t is now easy 10
pick out the trees that have fruit
and these are the only ones that it
is necessary. to spray.
Cooling moth are unusually numer-
GUS this year and unless thorough
spraying is done, at the right time,
the loss will be heavy.
According to my observations in
the Boise and Payette Valleys, the
first worms Of tho second brood
viii begin to appear about the 10th
of July and the spraying should be
done between the 20th and the 25th.
as the majority Of the worms viii be
Matching about the last week of the
month. Spraying in tho Twin Falls
section should be done about one
week latsr.
Those who have neglected to ap-
ply the first and second codling
moth spray should by all means ap-
Hly this July spray, as the second
brood Of codling moth is the one
that does the most damage.
