Why All Mankind
Halls the Morn of
the Resurrection

Easter morning-the most joyous of
all the mornings Of the year, the one
great day of gladness, supreme above
all others on the calendar, the Morn
of the Resurrection.
And why Is this the gladdest day
Of the year?
. 1t is the gladdest of all days because
it typifies the hope that beyond the
grave there is another life than this.
It speaks the promise that we shall
rise again from the dust of death, that
we shall be reunited with those whom
we have. loved and lost, that we shall
open our eyes In another world where
there is no parting again, no sorrow.
no loss, no pain.
Compare this hope with all other
hopes that man can have, and they
sink into insignificance.
II the sons of men believed that
this life were the only life they could
ever know, If they believed that the
grave Is the end and that when they
were laid away with the dust from
which they came there would be nc
awakening, not only would the dearest

How did the rabbit get into the nest
of Easter eggs? OF all the curious leg
ends the centuries have gathered
about the Easter season none are more
widely circulated than those having to
do with the rabbit and the Easter eggs.
Easter eggs are seen all over the Chris
tian world on Easter Sunday, and
wherever the eggs are there is the
rabbit also.
Just where and how such a total
abstainer from eggs, such a clearly
non-producer of eggs as q rabbit, got
mixed up In a nest Of them the biog-
raphers Of neither the hen nor the

tally. In it life lay dormant. An in
sensate thing, mere object, it had
the power to become living being.
To the early Christians the egg sym
bolized the resurrection. Because of
this. and also because eggs were looked
upon as meat Roman Catholics of
Italy, Spain and France were formerly
forbidden to eat eggs during Lent. Az
ter the fasting was over, eggs were the
nrst meat to be eaten. Every Easter
table held eggs dyed red, to represent
the blood Of Christ, and piled in pyra-
mids at various points of vantage
along the table. Before the eggs were
broken they were blessed by the priest.
A special blessing for the Easter
eggs was given out by Pope Paul Y,
who sat In the papal chair from 1905
to 1921. This blessing, which is still
used by many Roman Catholics, is:
BLESS, O LORD, we beseech thee, this
thy gift of eggs, that 1t may become
wholesome sustenaace of thy faith
full servants, eating it in thankfulness
to thee on the morn of the resurrection
of our Lord"
Greek Catholics believe that eggs
laid on Good Friday have within them
their own blessing. and that he who
eats them as his first food on Easter
Sunday will be blessed throughout the
year. They, too hold that the egg
Is symbolical Of the resurrection.
But all Of these eggs are the fruit

Easter eggs, prayed earnestly and fer,

they made nest for the eggs they so
confidently believed the morning would
bring. When they awoke the next
morning they ran to the nest, and
there, sure enough, lay three lovely
eggs, and sitting back of them, very
proud of himself, was big white rab-
Bit the very rabbit that had laid the
eggs.
But the Easter rabbit is far, far
older than this tale, and the myths
about the rabbit, many Of them associ-
ating the rabbit in one way or another
with eggs, are centuries older than the
Easter festival.

pie. The children enjoy the game of
trying to see how many eggs they can
break by the ones they have, holding
them in vertical position. The bro
ken egg becomes the property Of the
winner. Easter is the great festival
of the Orient. On this occasion peo-
pie have parties to which they invite
their friends. Greetings and good
wishes are exchanged both orally and
in writing. The best Syrian candy and
sweets, as well as the best dishes, are
found on the Easter meal table In
Syrian homes. s

by tearing down a piece Of the an

for Wilhelm Hohenzollern In 1898. In

first sent to the earth by the moon
god, who used rabbit as his messen-
ger. The message given to the rab-
bit was this: Like as die and rise
TO life again, so shall you die and rise
to life again."
The rabbit, however, thinking it
would be a good Joke on the people
of the earth, reversed this gospel {:
What he said to the people was: Like
as die, and live no more, so shall We
all die and be no more alive" The
people took this gospel very sorrow
fully, which amused the rabbit, and
he went back to the moon god and

In certain parts Of England, particu-
larry at Hallaton. there was an old
custom of celebrating Easter Monday
with a "hare pie scramble" and "bottle
kicking" This celebration began with
a procession leading to the house of
the rector of the parish and consisting
Of two men abreast, carrying sacks
with cut-up pies inside; three men
abreast, two carrying wooden bottles
filed with beer, and the third a large
dummy bottle that was to be kicked
about; one man, carrying pole on

posture, and, last Of all, band of
music. The band was followed by
all the people of the parish who could

A dozen cables are on my desk from

for the lives OF hundreds Of thousands

Above all towers the mute appeal Of
the more than 100000 little children,
orphaned, homeless, whom these Amer
lean relief workers have saved and
whom we here at home must sustain
not only through the winter and
spring, but through the summer and
autumn as well. If we do not provide,

hope Of q New Near East.
The Easter season Is here-the sea-
son that commentaries the Great Sac

as Christian nation. She is also the

Can we really enjoy our wealth and

deaf ear to the appeal which General
Leonard Wood, in behalf of the Near
East Relief, has sent forth broadcast
for Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save
these little children in Bible Lands?
