tom which grew out of the old super
stition that If the children of the
household were truthful kind and obe
dent a white hare would come into
the home at night and hide colored
eggs in odd corners of the house. The
egg as we all know is the symbol of
the resurrection. Easter day is gov.

the ancient symbol or figure of the
moon.
There are a number of amusing Gus.
toms connected with Easter, as with
all the other holidays, some of which
are familiar to us and others not. We
are all of course quite accustomed to
the idea of new clothes on Easter, but
the people who scorn this fashion and
wear theirs few weeks before or
after that day little know of the risk
they run of having bad luck the rest
of the year. The day used to be
known as Joy Sunday" and there
was an old superstition that unless one
wore something new on that day bad
luck would follow throughout the
year. Another belief was that II the
wind blew from the east on Easter
morning. and If you drew some fresh
water and bathed your face and hands
1t would then be impossible for the
east wind to harm you throughout the
year.

rection as literal fact, are deluding
no one but themselves. There is moth
ing new in the effort to explain away
the great event. Men have been try
ing out explanations ever since the
guards who went to sleep on duty
around the tomb excused themselves
by saying the disciples stole his body
away while they slept. Explainers
have risen and fallen as the ages have
come and gone and the deeper the
eXplainers have gone into the matter,
the more apparent has become the
fact. The simple Gospel narratives
gave enough of the physical details
of the event to make 1t convincing;
the fact that the disciples themselves
did not expect the resurrection and
were slow to believe it until they
were forced to believe 1t by his pres
ence among them; by exhibition of his
sacred wounds and the fact that 1t
became the burden of their preaching
in the future all go to make up the
indisputable collateral evidence of the
literal fact. Every one of the disciples
Is said to have died martyr and his
resurrection was their Testimony to
martyrdom."-H Lee Mills In Houston

IS GREATEST OF FESTIVALS
Everywhere, Especially Among the
People of Latin Countries.

OF all annual festivals among Chris
tian nations, Easter seems to have
made the most serious impression, and
the customs connected with its first
celebrations to have fingered the long
est Europe, with its many nations,
and. therefore, many people, has ever
been the scene of various ceremonies
distinctly belonging to the separate
countries, with the Latin church al
ways In the lead in the matter of pic
turesque symbols and professions.
The war will make difference In
some districts, but wherever there are
n few gathered together in his name
in the neighborhood of mighty cathe-
drals still standing. or tiny kinks in
the heart of the woods or along the
sea, there will some feature of the
story of the atonement be told in SYM
bols.
These strange customs. sometimes
combined with elaborate ceremonies,
are found oftenest in the rural dis
tricts, where the people have not free
access TO the towns, and simplicity of
living does not question the difference
between truth and tradition

THE SEPULCHRE

2os 49, 27s 66s 2ss 6.
The Man had died on the cross,
And they laid him in the tomb;
The Living Stone in the stone,
The Rock in the rock-hewn room;
They left him alone with Death,
And sealed the stone at the door;
They made the sepulchre sure,
And set their watch before.
Lest his friends should steal him
away,
And say that he rose" they said.
But Life escaped from Death,
And the Goldman rose from the
dead.
The skeptical minds of men
Still think the sepulchre sure,
But Christ had said, 'I will arise"
And the counsels of God endure.
Still his disciples go
To carry the wondrous word:
The Lord is risen indeedi
We know, we have seen and heard"
And the tomb men think so sure,
With the seal of their scorn on tho
door,
The place where the Lord once lay
Is empty forevermore.

the greatest undertaking in the his

wonderfully inspiring all Protestant

greater accomplishments.
The Cordele Methodist Church, Rev.
r. B. Stanford, pastor with Mr.. j. W.

gained, with something like thirty
teams Of workers, composed of Il cap
tain and about sixty volunteer swork-

sr the purpose of raising the quota
Of $190G0.00 asked Of the local con

conference with Mayor william

John Liedtke in the formers office
yesterday afternoon with reference
to the appointment Of woman
police officer,
Should it be found legal, an or
1inanee will be drawn up and pre-
scented to the city commission in
the very near future, M Liedtke
intimated today and said further
that the appointment of a woman
police officer was probable.
Opposition to the plan points cut
the fact primarily that tne police
force today is not sufficiently large
to guarantee the safety of the
people and that before a woman is
added to the force, there should be
additional men.
Need Mere Men.
Hours fsF the woman officer are
suggested as being from o'clock
in The afternoon until midnight.
Opposition to the plan points Cut
that at night no policemen pass
further south than Fifth avenue,
leaving practically the entire resi-
dence section of the city without
protection of any sort. 1t is set
forth that if funds are going to be
expended in paying a woman sal
airy, some steps should be taken to
appropriate money and 10 provide
better protection in the residential
district.
This woman officers sole duties
would be confined to the caring for
girls, who, it is said, are wander
ing the streets in the business dis
trict at night. She would cooperate
with Mrs. Anna Kirkman, police
matroR. Mrs. J. l.. Wilson is sug-
gested as an officer.
