HAIL EASTER MORNING

It seems as if the Eastertide was particularly appropriate time for the caroling out of our joy. The spring has come, the birds are singing again after the long winter of ice and snow, and we mortals awake to joy again with them. Let us see how the peO- pie of ancient times observed Easter. Carol" the word which we use in speaking of Easter music, means a song of praise, between hymn and a ballad, a song which was used first to accompany a dance. One of the most beautiful of these old carols had it's origin in the southwest part of France, and is called 'The Carol of the Flowers" Special and appro- priate services to this festal day will be held in the churches of Cordov8 tomorrow.
 It is very beautiful, the spirit of Easter in these ancient villages ad- jacent to Jerusalem, but it is the holy City where the chief interest centers, of course, for it is here that the three great ceremonies of Holy week take place-the Washing of the Feet on Thursday at noon; Holy fire, Satur- day noon, and. Easter mass at mid night, which concludes the prolonged fast and ushers in Easter Sunday,
 All the narrow, dirty alleys called streets are thronged with multitudes of adoring people, threading their way toward the Church of the Holy Sepul- cher Suddenly there is a wild clang- ing of bells, but after the first notes one is unable to even discern them above the roar of voices, the ceaseless trampings, the grounding of muskets, the whining of beggars, the cries of the vendors lined all along the walls and the steps of the church with their beads, glass bracelets, mother-of-pearl lures, sweetmeats, foods and syrups, the marvels of which they are crying to the heavens. Even money changers are doing business as they did in the courts of the temple. It is all more like 8 fair than a portal to the holy of holies. There are Arabs and Syrians, natives from Lebanon, Damascus, He- bron and all the little villages we have visited; there are Bedouins, Egypt ians, English, Americans, Negroes, Kabails, Copts and Turks. But the latter is less domineering in lis fez than of yore.

Maurice D. Leehey, Seattle attor- ney, and R. M.
