even go further and say what g ma
ton believes about the hereafter de-
termines the character of its govern
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 q con-
tinued life of some sort, is dangerous.
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, 1t 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 Its 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 a per-
son and does not consist in generation
of n dead leader and slavish adher-
ence to a rule of life or set of regu-
Iations. Above all Christianity is not

Such a religion can not be 'beaten.'
1t has all the qualities Of the tmper
ishable, and so long as the church
maintains steadfast its belief in the
resurrection 1t can not be conquered
by all the hosts of evil.
The resurrection Of Christ was the
supreme victory of the ages, and moi
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

nations of the world with the love OF
humanity, of human brotherhood and
justice, there would be none. to sac.

Not since the early days of the
church has the doctrine of the resnr-

strongly indicated as In the present

Eoqs at Easter.

The use of Easter eggs is common
to all C~hristendom. and seems to be
a symbolic tradition Of the primitive
church. 1t is explained in various
ways. The most probable theory is
that because of the phenomenon Of
Matching 1t was chosen as a symbol
Of the resurrection. At first the Eas-
ter eggs were taken to the temple and
blessed by the priest, and then dlstrib-
uted to ones friends and family. But
after awhile they came to stand mere
ly for a festival, when they could eat
the eggs that had been denied them
during Lent. 1t Is impossible to say
when the first mention is made Of
Easter eggs.

THE RISEN CHRIST
Easter Always Anniversary Of De-
~liveranee of Wonderful
Message of Hope.
-HE joy Of the Christian soul
is expressed at Easter in

--HE joy of the Christian soul
is expressed at Easter in
such a volume of song as
rises upon no other day Of
the year. In the wealth of-fiowers 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 overfiowing with
the happiness of a 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 d~ay"-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 1t 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 a realization of the glory
of life, for that which was dead is
alive again.
Brought Light to World.
But while we see in nature the sym
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 fu-
ture In the natural world, but the
Christian derives his chief hope from
a different source. a 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
fore Him, the way was dark and
shrouded In mystery. but On that FIRST
Easter morning He threw a flood Of
light upon the gates of eternity, which
mumined the way for all and settled
the question Of immortality forever.
1t is but natural that the anniver-
sary of such a day should be celebrat-
ed with various manifestations of joy,
but amid the songs and the flowers
and the p%ageantry 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 oyershadow the appeal
to the spirit. If Easter brings no
heartening message to a soul wearied
with worldly cares, no new inspiration
TO take hold of the things worth while
with a firher grip, no lev feeling Of
citizenship in the eternal, our songs
and flowers and pomp and p~agesItry,
however beautiful, are of momentary
value.

Dr. Florence Child Tells Ho Mothers of France Were Taught

uEALlNG the French wounded and

as such had charge of the American

Extinction Threatened
"a noted French statistician recently
showed that in from thirty to thirty
five years there would be no more
France unless something was done to
save the children. 1t was not suf-
ficient to save the wounded and let the
babies die. Yet they were dying by
hundreds and thousands of them in all
the villages and towns of France. And
the American Red Cross felt that 1t
must come in and complete its work OF
saving France. We did.

air. There was no plumbing and there

water. Long walks to pump in the

PENN INSTRUCTORS
!. GET BOOST IN WAGES
Deny Increased Scale OF 10 to
rs Per Cent Results From
Recent Attack
Is EFFECTIVE THIS FAL |

Salaries of all full time instructors,
assistant professors and professors of
the University of Pennsylvania will be
increased from 10 to % per cent, be-
ginning next fall.
Announcement to this effect was
made today by Provost Edgar Fahs
Smith, the board of trustees having
approved n new scale of remuneration
at meeting held on Monday last.
This action closely follows the resig
nation of Prof. ]. Russell Smith, a
member Of the Wharton School faculty,
who bitterly arraigned the failure of the
University to provide salaries adequate
to meet the increased cost of living and
characterized the pay as starvation
wages
The Smith resignation. in turp,
caused Harrison s. Morris and his wife.
Mrs. Anna Wharton Morris, to attacl;
the policy of the trustees with respect
to the conduct of the Wharton School,
and Dean William Mcclellan in par
ticular. Dean McClcllan's resignation
was announced several days later, al
though it had been rendered several
months prior to the attack. Mrs. Nor
ris is daughter of Joseph Wharton,
the donor of the school. She was sup
ported in her statement by, Wharton
Barker. a trustee and nephew of Mr.
Wharton.
Not Result Of Attacks
Officials of the University denied to
day that the salary increases were q
direct result of the attacks. Severa
members admitted it has been felt by tn,
board of trustees for long time thai
the pay was inadequate.
Under the revision faculty members
receiving $4,000 or less will be increased
| to $4,000, or % per cent jump. Mem
bers receiving from $4,000 to $4,000 vii
be advanced 20 per cent, while instruc
tors whose salaries already are $1,000
or more will receive 10 per cent in
crease.
| The increases will total about Sl10,
