celebrated with all the licentious num-
merry imaginable to heather religion,
but as the centuries passed and the
Christians came, it became a purely
religious festival The meaning of
the rites were lost, but the people OBJ
served them just the same. Surely
none of us feel that we are performing
heather rite when we Civ Easter
eggs to our friends.
In the early days of the Oh stan re-
ligion no festivals were obseir cd, not
even Easter. "The whole of time is a
festival unto Christians because of the
excellency of the good things which
have been given" explained st. Chry-
sostom.
Gradually, however, Easter became
the biggest festival in the calendar of
the church. Everyone who professed
the religion of Christ was supposed to
take communion on that day. If he re-
fused his name was to be excommuni-
Gated and at death his body to be
denied Christian burial.
How Date Was Fixed.
The dispute over the true time to
hold Easter was one Of the quarrels
that shook the early Christian world.
Those who had been Jewish wanted to
celebrate 1t on the 14th of the old Jew
ish month of Nisank-the beginning of
the Jewish festival Of the passover.
Those who had been Gentiles said that
Easter should be observed on the fol-
lowing Sunday.
For years this dispute waxed warm
ly, until it was finally settled by the
great church council held at Nicea in
325. 1t was decreed that Easter should
come on Sunday and that the date
should be the first Sunday following
| the full moon after the vernal equinox
| (March Ply. The city Of Alexandria,
then famed for it's skill in astronomical
affairs, was given the duty Of fixing
the date.
| 1t was pagan custom to regard the
egg and the rabbit as symbols Of pro-
! creativeness. This is about the only
Easter observance that has survived to
modern times. Our custom of filling
our homes with lilies and early flowers
seems to be a custom of recent origin.
| Dozens of Easter observances, no
less picturesque, have been forgotten
or overwhelmed in the seriousness of
these latter days. So on Easter Mon
day husbands struck their wives. but

on Tuesday the wives struck back. In
Germany the men and maid servants
observed the same custom, but used
switches in doing so. 1t was also, the
custom for parents and children to try
and surprise each other in bed early
Easter morning. The tardy one would
receive a rough switching to remind
him or her of remissness.
Much Liberty Permitted.
In every way Easter day was day
of special privilege. In Russia every
one who wished was allowed to go into
the churches and ring the bells as long
as he desired. Thousands of people
availed themselves of this opportunity
In England the men ran joyfully about
the streets lifting the women from the
ground three times. The one so favored
had to give the male either silver
sixpence or good hearty kiss. This
custom was observed in some parts OF
the country almost down to the present
day. In Puy in France, from time i'm

In celebration of the fortieth year since the founding of their store in Birmingham, Caheen Brothers de- partment store Monday morning will open its doors for the fortieth anni- vcrsary sale. which is to continue throughout the week.

 After a period of years, during which time many hardships were ex- perienced in the handling of the young business, and many obstacles overcome. patronage of the store had grown to such an extent that it was decided to move to the corner now occupied by the Birmingham Rail way. Light and Power company at First avenue and Twenty-first street. Business at the second stand was so prosperous that more commodioius quarters were found necessary, and therefore decision was made to move to 1924 Second avenue. where the store is now located, and has been for the last 19 years.
 There wasn't another dry goods store in this section of Birmingham when we moved here." said Ferd Ca heen. in discussing the growh of the business Saturday afternoon. Tn fact, there were hardly any business houses at all in this section of the city. We were almost alone at that time. but since then the entire busi- ness district of the city sems to hay grown up about our doors. Our busi- ness since its inception has had d phenomenal growth, and we have never had a better outlook than right now. We are experiencing better business every day"
