ter the long winter of Ice
and snow, and we mortals wake to
joy again with them. Let us see how
the people of ancient times observed
Easter. "Carol," the word which we
use in speaking of Easter music,
means song Of praise, between u
hymn and a ballad. a song which was
used first to accompany dance. One
of the most beautiful of these old
carols had its origin in the southwest
ern part of France, and is called "The
Carol of the Flowers" 1t runs thus ::

The lilies in their robes of snow
Within the chancels bloom and glow,
The roses lift their heads to see
Once more the spot on Calvary.
And rose the Lord, deaths fetters riven,
To wear again the crown of Heaven;
While Ger the country, far and wide,
Earth hailed its first glad Eastertide.

Fair Kedron's brook that seeks the sea,
Reflects the smiles of Galilee;
The lily in her beauty blooms
Beside the saintliest of tombs;
And "He Is Risen!" far and near
The angels chant for earth to hear,
AS louder still the cadence swells
OF Heavens holy Easter Bells.

Beneath the stars that hailed the birth

From Galilee's immortal calm,
Their wondrous music mounts and sweils,
For seraphs ring the Easter Bells.

which. though they neither toiled nor
spun. outdid King Solomon In the
beauty of their raiment.
It has been popularity supposed that
the lily of the valley was the one
meant. That such was the case how
ever, seems unlikely If only for the
reason that this plant does not grow
In the fields. 1t is peculiarly an in
habitant of carefully cultivated gar
dens, producing its bel' like blossoms
In shady corners.
Not at all probable does 1t seem that
Jesus may have had in mind the Gala
lily, which, having originated in Ethi-
opia. was familiarly known in Palestine
MT the period In which the Savior lived.
The Egyptians used the roots of the
prolific plant MS n table vegetable.
These roots look somewhat like Irish
potatoes. and in the swamp the Gala
grows so thickly that the yield of a
single flooded area is enormous.
Gala Not True Lily.
B0tanIcally speaking, however, the
Gala is not lily. Tulips are truer
lilies, and so likewise are the leek
the garlic and the asparagus. But the
Gala Is an "arum" and is related to
the rjack-in-thepulplt," as well as the
"elephnnt's ear plant" commonly
grown as an ornamental.
Lilies have always had sacred as

past, when the pyramids were build

lotus, member of the lily family. as

regarded as an emblem of the Nile,

immigrants come from countries where

the snake hooked itself swan ashore,
crawled around the tree three times
and so entangled the line that It could
go no further
