IS GREATEST OF FESTIVALS
Easter Celebrated in Some Form
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 a difference in
some districts, but wherever there are
a few gathered together in his name
In the neighborhood Of mighty cathe-
drals stin 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 10 the towns. and simplicity of
living does not question the difference
between truth and tradition.

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 sincs 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 1t until they
were forced to believe It by his pres
ence among them; by exhibition of his
scored wounds and the fact that It
became the burden of their preaching
in the future all go to make up the
indlsputable 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. II. Lee Mills In Houston

SABBATH OF LIGHT
Holy Saturday a Great Day for
the Pilgrims Gathered in
Jerusalem.

~ URING holy week the Chris
IA tian and Moslem pilgrims in
y Jerusalem visit the sacred
river Jordan. On Holy
Thursday the Greek patriarch washes
the feet of - pilgrims. This service
and ceremony is performed in the open
court in front Of the cathedral, on
temporary platform decorated with
olive boughs. The patriarchs of the
Catholic and Armenian communities
perform a similar service inside the
cathedral. to which the general public
Is not admitted. On Good Friday all
day services are in order, and special
services with ceremonies commemo-
rating the cru .ifixlon take place from
six in the evening until midnight. On
Roly Saturday also known as the
Sabbath of Light all lights in the
cathedral are extinguished. The Greek
and Armenian sects relight their
lamps, candles and fires from flame
which is believed By them to appear
on the holy sepulcher on that day.
This is the crowning event Of Lent to
the Greek. Armenian. Syriac and Cop
tic creeds. Millions of wax tapers and
candles are lighted at this flame, burn

which are carried and distributed over
the whole civilized world.
At midnight the service of the resur-
rection is performed, after.which many
of the pilgrims start on their home
ward journey.
Mere tourists are Of course welcome,
because they contribute somewhat to
the trade Of the season. but they stay
one or several days at the longest, and

is GREAT ESTABLISHED FACT
sksptics Have at All Times Failed to

Easter Morning.

The lesson of Easter Involves the
question of the divinity Of Christ
There are two great miracles upon
which Christianity rests. The miracu-
lous birth and the resurrection go to-
geiher. If we believe one we can be-

subject to historical proof. The lat

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, Il will arise"
And the eounsels of God endure.
Still his disciples go
To carry the wondrous word:
The Lord is risen indeed
We know, we have seen and heard"
And the tomb men think so sure,
With the seal of their scorn on the
door,
The place where the Lord once lay
Is empty forevermore.
