EsThe Easter E86s StoryyY

The origin Of the custom of coloring
eggs is given in diversified tradition,
where the sweet bird" mentioned in
an ancient song is the one that
watched over the sacred tomb, accord
ing to an ancient legend.
When Caesar landed in Britain he
found the Druid bards and Celtic poets
tuning their harps in praise of ma
ticnal heroes and national divinities.
He found one not least among them
to be the great god Hus, consOrt Of
Ceridwen, and mother of the beauti-
full Llwy, she being the manifestation
Of Ceridwen's egg. The story related
how Llwy lost her mother at the time
of the Hood and that she went weeping
all over the earth in search of her
wandering mother, whom she at last
found in the spring time when with
Joy she dried her tears. Llwy was a
favorite goddess In North Wales as

water, where they remain until the
eggs are hard boiled and the print of
the calico is well burned into the
shell. Spinach was an old-fashioned
dye for plain green eggs, onions made
the yellow ones, and cochineal the
red.
This gathering of the older people
upon Easter eve was as much a func-
ton as the stocking filling upon Christ
mas .eve. Indeed, more so, as friends
were often asked to join the party,
which was called the "egg coloring,"
and after the eggs were finished all
hands took part in the hiding" of
them. For there was no corner so
remote that Mr.. Hare could not find
1t and no hole so small he could not
crawl through. He is certainly a near
relative of Alice's rabbit, for he Is
often known to squeeze through the
key-hole of the bookcase and lay an
egg behind the books.

THE RISEN CHRIST
Easter Always Anniversary of De-
Iiverance of Wonderful
Message of Hope.

"HE joy of the Christian soul
is expressed at Easter in
such volume of song as
rises upon no other day of
the year. In the wealth of flowers that
adorn affairs, in the music of choirs
and the praise of the children in their
exercises are found the manifestation
of the joy of hearts overlooking with
the happiness of renewed hope of
life. 1t is the anniversary Of the de-
liverance of the greatest message of
hope the world has ever received,
summed up in the three little words
"He Is Risen" 1t is the Christian
victory day"-Easter.
Most men everywhere at all times
have had some sort Of idea of immor-
tally. 1t seems to be an inherent
quality in humankind. The doctrine
of the resurrection is not an entirely
new one. Even the pagan before us
had a glimpse of the truth and was
moved to recognize it in his own way.
Nature herself proclaims the doctrine
and in every bursting bud of spring
time and the new songs of the birds
we read a confirmation of our belief
in a future life. Nature rejoices along
with men in q realization of the glory
of life, for that which was dead is
alive again.
Brought Light to World.
;y~ h.
bols of the great truth of the resur-
rection and delight in the pleasing
processes of the breaking forth of
new life in the natural world, the
Christian has something deeper and
more firm than nature upon which to
base his belief of immortality. The
materialiSt may seek to read his flu
ture in the natural world, but the
Christian derives his chief hope from
different source, source no less
than the message from God himself.
When Jesus broke the bonds of death
and became "the first fruits of them
that slept" He at the same time be-
came the hope Of all humanity. Be
lore hlHl, TIC way was udFk anu
shrouded in mystery, but on that first
Easter morning He threw a flood of
light upon the gates of eternity, which
illumined the way for all and settled
the question of Immortality forever.
1t is but natural that the anniver-
sary Of such day should be- celebrat-
ed with various manifestations Of joy,
but amid the songs and the flowers
and the pageantry of our celebrations
the great motive Of the day should
not be lost sight of. Things that min
lister to the esthetic sense should not
be allowed to overshadow the appeal

Starving in The
Midst OF Plenty
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
is to strike right at the very cause OF
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is a quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort.
1t is EATONIC. Made in the form
Of tablets-they are good to eat-just
like bit Of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry it away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out of the
body~-in fact you can fairly feel it
work. Make test of EATONIC in
your own case today. Get big box
Of EATONIC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely it brings quick
relief in those painful attacks Of in
digestion, bitter heartburn, belching,
disgusting food repeating, that awful
bloated, lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miseries. Danish all
your stomach troubles so completely
that you forget you have a stomach.
Then you can eat what you like and
digest your food in comfort without
fear of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you,
It will not cost you one penny. You
can return it to your druggist and get
your money back. So if you have the
slightest question about your health
If you feel you are not getting all
the strength out of your food-if you
are not feeling tip-top, ready for your
work, full Of vim and vigor-do give
EATONIC fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel.

RABBIT AS EASTER SYMBOL
With the Egg, 1t Has Always Been
Associated as Appropriate to
the Season.

Easter originally was an oriental
feast in honor of the coming spring,
or the rebirth> of the year. The rab-
bit is noted for it's prolific offspring,
and that animal was chosen as an Eas-
ter symbol because it typified the
fruitfulness Of nature. The egg was
selected as an emblem of Easter cele-
bration because it contains the germ
Of life and is therefore typical Of the
revival of life at the beginning of the
growing season. The lily bulb, like
the egg, contains the germ Of life and
means of growing within itself, and
accordingly is appropriate, carrying as
1t does the additional symbol of purity.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1919-04-24

to the spirit. If Easter brings no
heartening message to q soul wearied
with worldly cares, no new inspiration
to take hold of the things worth while
with firmer grip, no new feeling OF
citizenship in the eternal, our songs
and flowers and pomp and pageantry,
however beautiful, are of momentary
value.
Divine Easter Message.
The message that Easter brings to
the individual has very direct bear
ing upon his life, for what one be-
lieves about the future life may
largely determine his character, and
even his eternal destiny. One may
even 60 further and say what a ma
ton believes about the hereafter de-
ment in its practical dealing at home
and abroad, and the character of the
national life. The man or nation that
is not restrained by the feeling that
there is another world in which there
will be a higher justice and con-
Passing over the strictly religious
element in the resurrection of Christ,
momentarily, let us remember that
history was made on that first Easter
morning. When the devoted women
went down to the tomb of the Lord
upon their mission of love, it was given
to them to hear the announcement
from an angel that was to turn the
tide of history and to give impetus to
the movement of uplifting men that
is still gathering force today. Jesus
was a great teacher and He gave to
the world it's best principles and pre-
cepts. But there have been other good
teachers of morals and religion, and
who knows but that His teachings
would not have persisted with Him If
He had not risen from the dead and
become the living inspiration for the
millions who were to come after him.
Herein lies the distinctive difference
between Christ and other teachers
and between Christianity and other
codes of morals and religion. Chris
tan worship is directed toward per-
son and does not consist in veneration
of dead leader and slavish adher
ence to a rule of life or set of regu-
lations. Above all Christianity is not
a philosophy, but life, drawing its
inspiration from a living Christ, and
having a universal appeal because 1t
speaks the language Of love.
Religion Imperishable.
: Such a religion can not be "beaten."
1t has all the qualities of the imper-
ishable, and so long as the church
maintains steadfast it's belief in he
resurrection it can not be conquer ed
by all the hosts of evil.
The resurrection of Christ was the
supreme victory of the ages, and not
even was the overwhelming defeat
of the Hun hosts battling on the
western front a greater one. For
we may say that If Jesus Christ had
not lived and died as He did and had
not risen from the dead and had not

inspired the men of the great free
nations of the world with the love of
humanity, of human brotherhood and
justice, there would be none to sac
rifice themselves today against the
most powerfully organized system of
greed and inhumanity the world has
known.
The hope inspired by the resurrec-
ton of Christ has lifted the nations
gradually but surely out of the well
ter of selfishness. If there were no
future we might as well not make the
sacrifices, and the strongest might go
his way as in the brute world.
Not since the early days Of the
church has the doctrine of the resur-
rection and the future life been so
strongly indicated as in the present
time when millions of free men vol
UNFAIRLY gave up their lives for the
great Christian principles underlying
the establishment of free nations.
Rushing in to do their duty, they
calmly trusted the future to God.
Fatalism could never make the fight
for liberty and justice that civiliza-
tion is making today. Only the Chris
tianity of the resurrected Christ is
capable of inspiring the effort.
II was a great day for the world
when the angelic choir announced to
shepherds the birth of the Savior, but
it was a greater day when this same
Savior rose victorious over the grave
and gave to mankind the hope that
has carried them onward and upward
and will continue to bear them as they
approach to the perfection of their
Master.

late as the twelfth century. She was
a national protectress, famous for her
bravery, her bright trappings and her
transparent shield The hen was her
sacred emblem and it is highly prob
able that to her worshipers she rep
resented, as did the hen, increased
fertility and newness of life.
In Germany, however. the chief in
terest centers around the Easter egg.
And as soon as the "kinderkins" are
tucked away in their beds on Easter
eve, the good frau and all the grown
up members of her family assemble in
the kitchen and begin the preparations
for the morrow. She has had the fore
thought to go early TO market In the
morning and secure great basket of
the largest eggs to be found. And
now they are brought from their hid
ing place and wrapped each in a piece
of gay-c0lored calico; wrapped tight
and tied, then dropped into boiling
