THE ORIGIN OF EASTER.

Easter. the festival concentrating
the resurrection of Christ, observed in
most all OF the branches OF the Christ
ian Church BY the early Christians
il was considered TO continue the
feast OF the Passover, at which the
paschal lamb, a symbol of Christ, was
sacrificed. Hence its name in Greek,
French and other Romance languages
is taken from the Hebrew 'pesach,
passover The English name comes
from the Anglo-SaXon "Eostre," a god
dess of light or spring whose festival
was celebrated in April. There was a
long dispute in the Christian Church
as to the proper time for holding
Easter. the Christians of the East
celebrating il on the same day as that
on which the Jewish Passover fell
that is. the fourteenth of Nissan, while
the majority Of the Church celebrated
il on the Sunday after this day. The
controversy was decided by the Coun-
ell Of Nice in 1876, which fixed Easter
on the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens upon or next
after March 81 II the full moon hap
pens on a Sunday, Easter is the sun
day after. Properly speaking, full
moon" above means the fourteenth
day of the moon.

DRUG USERS PITEOUs PLEA.

A tragic story was told the other
day by a physician before a company
of physicians. 1t was the story of
man who has been a drug fiend for
more than twenty years. And the man
who told the story was the drug vie
tim himself.
This physician pleaded with his
brother physicians for mercy to his
kind. He said:
In behalf of the millions of drug
users in this country, beg you 10 be
merciful to the drug fiend You call
the drug user a fiend, but yet the man
who takes too much whisky is not
fiend, and is not an outcast from de-
cent society. In his case the habit
is unfortunate, and society lets him
go with a reproof But the drug
taker, though the habit be no stronger
upon him than the whisky habit upon
the topper, is a man against whom
harsh laws must be passed for the
good of the future race"
A man who. like this physician, has
fallen into the grip of the drug habit,
deserves the sympathy of the COM
munity Recovery from this particu-
lar form of vice is difficult. 1t tests
all the strength of character there is
in a man Even after the victim has
broken the shackles that bound him
! he is too often a useless remnant OF
humanity, broken down mentally
spiritually and physically.
The very effects of the use of drugs
/ place their victims in a category by
themselves. Society is bound to dis,
courage, by every reasonable Severity
possible. a vice which kills more
completely than whisky or any other
vice
This physician put his finger on the
nub of the controversy when he saiC
that the harsh laws" passed against
the drug user are passed for the gooC
of the race" If there are millions Of
drug users, as he says and as stats
tics prove. then it is the duty of so
ciety to interpose strong barriers tC
the recruiting of this vast army o.
unfortunates.
To enable the moderate user o.
drugs to obtain his supply under the
law would be to nourish the deadly
evil which society is seeking to kill
