CHURCHES PLAN TO CELEBRATE
ANNUAL EASTER FESTIVAL WHICH
CONTEMPORARIES RESURRECTION
Ancient Welcome to Spring
Adopted in Later Years as
Day for Christian Observ-
ance of Savior's Rebirth.

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. the an
nual festival observed in commenora-
ton of the Resurrection.
Easter day, as commemorating the
central fact of tine Christian religion,
has always been regarded as one of
the chief festivals of the year. Easter
Sunday is the first Sunday after the
full moon that falls on or next after
March 21. The date of the full moon
is ascertained according to certain
calendar rules any may differ from
the astronomical full moon.
There is no trace of the celebration
of Easter as a Christian festival in
the New Testament or in the writings
of the apostolic fathers. According
to history, the festival was at first a
pagan one, in honor of "Eostra,'' the
Anglo-Saxon goddess of Spring, to
whom the fourth moon, correspond
ing to our April. was dedicated.
Christians Adapt Festival
In later years, history tells us. the
festival became a Christian one for
the celebration of the resurrection.
The egg, long n pagan symbol of
resurrection, remains to this day as a
sy mhol of the Christian festival.
The custom of appearing in new
clothing on Easter Sunday also typifies
the old pagan idea of Easter in dis
carding the garments of winter as a
celebration of the coming of Spring.
Local churches will tomorrow cele-
brate the day with appropriate SER
vices, and many are planning special
decorations

To Prevent Uprising

AIillerands latest note was in reply
to a communication from Won Mayer
in which he stated it had been estaD-
lished that the Ruhr communists were
in touch with Russian soviets at MOS
cow by wireless and that Immediate
steps were necessary to prevent re-
newed outbreak in the German reds
effort to establish a soviet republic in
the industrial district of westphalia.
1t is understood France takes the
position that danger of Ruhr revolt
has passed. and that the soviet threat
was a German subterfuge to avoid
fulfillment of the peace treaty. News
dispatches bear out the French con-
tention, declaring the armed revolt
has collapsed and that the workers
red army is surrendering its guns.
