One Great Lesson :. :. +.
That May Have Come
From Stress Of War

- ASTER Is the feast of new life,
and the pledge of immortality.
clearly do we see that the new
life is simply the old life redeemed
and purified and ennobled. For the
resurrection is from the death OF sin
to the life of righteousness. 1t Is
precisely so with immortality. For
life, if it survives the grave, will SIM
ply go on-indeed, the life that is to
survive is going on now. II there Is
such thing as Immortality, 1t IS q
present possession. Men have been
fond Of dealing with Easter as theo-
logical or metaphysical abstraction.
But this is not true Of the New Tesr
lament writers--to them it was very
practical thing. with direct bearing
on conduct. IF We then be risen with
Christ"-risen now-"seek those things
which are above" writes st. Paul. and
he continues: ''Mortify, therefore,
your members which are upon. the
earth fornication, uncleanness, inordt-
nate affection, evil concupiscence, and
covetousness, which is idolatry." It
Is a question of keeping the command
ments that we have had from the be.
ginning, Of holding fast to the stand
ards by which high.minded men and
women have always ordered their
lives. The question at bottom is one
Of the quality Of the life. The great
resurrection is that which carries a
human soul from it's baser nature to
the very top of It's capacity for good
ness. Thus considered. it is not an
event, but a process, and one that
lasts through life. There must be a
daily proceeding in all virtue and
goodness of livlng.''' ""rls lifelong

And that Is the point. Kipling putt
the case very strongly:

Men do not as rule view life in
this way. but the war, one may hope
has taught them to do so. =

THE EASTER LILY.

When Easter bells began to ring
And Easter day arose
An angel found beside the church
A wreath Of winter SHOWS.
The April sun had failed to mott
Tho tiny drift away,
And, sparkling colby in the light,
Still frozen hard 1t lay.
The angel took the frosty flakes.
And tenderly he wrought,
With loving care and patience rare.
The blossom Of his thought
Each perfect petal grew apace.
And last Of ali, behold,
He fashioned, full Of rich perfume.
= A heart Of cleaning gold
With dreams Of shining robes he worked
And golden gates ajar
And shaped the fair and finished Aowss
In memory Of q star:
Then, gliding in the ancient church,
Where all was dark and Silly,
Upon the crimson altar cloth
He laid the Easter lily

NAME DERIVED FROM SAXON
Easter Known to Have Been a Cello
bration Time Of the heather
Goddess Ostars.

Not until the early sixties did the
Presbyterians take note Of Easter. And
New England was the last section Of
our country to bend-or unbend-in
the direction Of the Easter celebra-
ton. The name Easter, which is In
use only among the English and Ger
man speaking peoples, is undoubtedly
derived from that of the heather Sax
on's goddess, Ostara, Ostelr or Eas-
tire. She was the personihcation Of
the East, of the spring and Of the
morning, the month Of April being
dedicated to her and called "Easter-
monath" by the Saxons and Angles. It
is still called in Germany Ostermonat.
Yet Easter sometimes falls in March,
as the church calendar prescribes that
1t shall fall upon the first Sunday
after the fourteenth day Of the moon
that happens to reign at the vernal
equinox, which is March Fl. One
writer says:
"Non-Teutonic nations cling to the
Semitic word derived from the Ara
maic word pesach. to pass BY which
has been translated into English as
Passover. In England the Semitic
form survives in many terms appli-
cable to- the season. as pass flower,
paschal lamb and pasch, pace or pase
eggs. These terms remind us that our
Christian festival is the successor to
the Jewish Passover, while the word
Easter carries us back through the
Saxons to the more ancient celebra-
lions which from the earliest ages Of
man have expressed the universal out
burst of rejoicing over the reawaken-
ing of nature after the long sleep Of
winter"

Depravity of Mankind
Still Requires Hip Pocket

q AVS the Atchison Globe: @Now
~ that it is not fashionable to
carry revolvers or whisky bottles,
why isn't the hip pocket abolished %
The hip pocket is still deemed use
full for carrying handkerchief and a
bill fold, but the time is not yet at
hand to abolish it, even if it had no
other uses than the two mentioned by
the Globe
With all due respect to the opinion
of the Kansas newspaper, there is a
greater demand than ever for hip
pockets in many parts of the country
When a man of convivial tastes could
step into the nearest groggery and
refresh himself along with a friend
or two, it never occurred to him to
carry a bottle of liquor on his person.
Now that such facilities have been
abolished, the hip pocket, usually pint
size, is deemed indispensable.
The time is coming, however, when
the available supply of properly dis
titled liquor will be exhausted and
what is left will be so vile or so hard
to get that the hip pocket, robbed Of

WHAT ITALY SUFFERED.

From the New York Tribune.
Few Americans fully realize the sac
rifices made by Italy during the war
Were it not so, denunciation OF her as
"imperialist" might be less frequent
DR.. Quartieri, head of the Italian dele
cation to the international Trade Con-
ference at Atlantic City, should prove
enlightening. The truth has been partly
told before, but never so fully and con-
vincingly Every one knows. presum-
ably, that Italy had to draw more heav-
lily upon her resources than almost any
ocher country among the allies that
she has a heavy burden of taxation and
a staggering load of debt. What has
been largely overlooked is that she also
has a devastated area of large extent
to rebuild, and that the conditions here
are quite as serious as in France and
Belgium.
A territory of some three and half
million acres, occupied by nearly a
million and a half people, was over
run by the enemy More than ne-half
OF Venezia lies east of the lave. The
whole of Udine and Bellune. and part
of Treviso, vicenza and Venice, suffered
the extreme penalties of Hun warfare.
They were prosperous provinces, agri-
culturally and industrially. The dam
age done will foot up to nearly three
billion lire. 1t needs no argument to
show how difficult is the task whkich
confronts the italian government. Be-
sides the immediate necessity of the
housing problem. 4 largo amount of
live stock must be supplied, and new
machinery.
The italians have gone to work with
an energy that encouragement cannot
check In spite of the scarcity and high
cost of building material temporary
shelters have been erected partly with
the help of the army But the under
taking is more than can be accomplish
ed by Italy alone, If the rest IF the
country had not also suffered from the
war these devastated regions might
draw supplies from it But its re-
sources, too, are heavily depleted.
There was such dire reed of fuel at
one time that even thu olive trees were
sacrificed. The devotion of Italy to
the common cause shoiid not go I'M

"as wicked as we can have them" must
be tempered by the reflection that the
reverend gentleman will probably be
unable to make them so very wicked.
Indeed, a study of the principal fea-
lures of the new meeting places which
the church hopes to substitute fog the
old palaces of crime--on the same
premises and with the same fixtures
wherever possible--does not reveal any
thing that would seem especially wick
ed to the sensibilities of the laymen.
Women, clergymen in uniform, and
sightseers are to be excluded; but this
is no guarantee of wickedness. Swear
