EASTER PROMISE
BRINGS COMFORT
TO BELIEVERS.
Hope, Joy, and Faith Combined in
Message Savior Left
to Men.

Easter day, the day of the risen
Christ-what is it's message to hui
mainly? Above all other Chris
tan festivals it's significance is
paramount. His birth beneath the
wintry stars in the Bethlehem
manger brought joy only to the
few. He came unto his own and
his own knew him not. His death
on that dark Friday plunged even
His most faithful into despair
their faith was not yet complete.
Nineteen hundred years ago the
loving ones that had followed Him
mourned about his tomb The
promised Redeemer of Israel had
gone the way of all human flesh
and the great stone of the tomb
sealed Him from their view.
SO His followers mouned and
wept, as stricken mortals mourn
and weep today. His great prom
Use was forgotten-even the faith
of those whose eyes had seen Him
and whose ears had heard His
words, humanlike, was weak
resurrection was still meaning
less word to them. And then, on
that first Easter morn, the great
miracle that was to confirm their
faith and to become the real foun-
dation stone of Christian hope
was fulfilled. He rose from the
dead and among His first words
to the waiting and anxious ones

PERSIAN BELIEF
is THAT WORLD
CAME FROM EGG.

The egg has long been looked
upon as a symbol of creation or
new birth. or generation, by
leaders OF all religions. Accord
ing to the Pefsians, the world was
Matched from an egg, and, as in
che days before Christ, the Par
sees still exchange gifts Of colored
eggs at the New Years festival.
Christianity invested the paschal
egg with the new Significance of
the resurrection OF Christ, and
eggs We're colored red primarily
in allusion TO His blood, Philip b.
Townley writes in the New York
Hefald-Tribune.
Going back in mythology to the
worship Of the goddess Oastre-
which appears to be another name
for Venus, the spring festival OF
the ancients having been a form
of devotion to Venus-the custom
OF gifts Of colored eggs at that
festival has not only remained to
the present day, but is now a uni
versal custom throughout the civ
ilized world.
IN France at Easter time the
parish priest goes among his pa
rishioners to bless their homes,
and in return receives gifts OF
colored eggs. In Russia they car
~ a number Of colored eggs with
them on Easter morning, which
they present to their friends. In
the churches in Russia after the
services are over priests and lay
men click eggs together in the
same manner in which we used to
touch glasses indicative of kindly
feelings.
In Germany the Easter fete is
occasion for a five-day holiday,
beginning with Greun Donnerstag
and lasting through Ostern Mon
tag.
In this country our Presidents
have for many years opened the
White House lawn to an egg roll
ing on Easter Monday, and the
popularity of this affair has
brought about the present vogue
of municipal egg hunts.
Now, in an entirely friendly
spirit, | feel that | must correct

packages can be obtained in all
modern shops in the busiest sec

Civic societies all over the coun-
try are beginning to stage annual
egg hunts for the children of the
community in the same way that
the municipal Christmas tree is
now a pretty fixture among civic !
events.

been no untimely haste about that

The women had followed the
two disciples to the sepulchre, and
accompanied them back to the

stood in Joseph's garden, not

grief.
A voice inquiring "Why weepest
thou? Whom seekest thou?' only
aroused a trifling interest. With

answer: "They have taken away
my Master out of the Sepulchre.

me where thou hast laid Him, that

to remember, was III the word,

she could make her lips to utter

"Jesus Wept. John Xi: So
Jesus was driven from Bethle-
hem by The wrath of the king,
while the violence Of the people
expelled him from Nazareth, Ca
pernaum received him, but only to
reject him.
XerXes wept, when surveying
the millions of his army covering
the plains, as he thought and
knew that soon the living host
would be returning to dust; Alex
ander of Macedon wept over the
body of one poor soldier slain in
his service, but Jesus who was
denied the homes of his birth,
adoption, and residence, who
came to his own and who would
not receive him, understanding
his laboring among them thirty
three years, enduring their CON
tradiction, with the meekness and
majesty of divine love, the tears
He shed at the grave of Lazarus
and over impending woes of Jeru-
salem, had deeper meaning than
the tears of human weakness.
1t was after his entrance on the
solemn week of his passion. after
spending his Last earthly sabbath
with the home he loved so dearly
IN Bethany. the afternoon of the
Jewish week, He renewed his
Journey and went forth to meet
his death The new life of the
yeaI had come, Spring the coun-
tlE child had returned, and the

Those who We're in the crowded
temple, awaiting his entrance,
We're heard to say, The whole
world is gone after Him." Then
it was JESUS WEPT." But why
did He weep? Was it because the
work He had undertaken had sur
passed his power? Nay. for while
He wept, He possessed the power
to restore the dead to life. His
weeping over Jerusalem was be-
cause He knew continued impeni-
tence and unbelief meant wrath
to the uttermost, when they might
have been saved.
The most painful thought of to-
day is that so many of his very

Is it nothing to you all We that

he said, "Why sweepest thou? l
am thy Lord and in a few days l
go to your Father and my Father,
to your God and my God.
And with these words new hope,
new joy, new faith was born in
the world. The Resurrection was
His last comforting promise, the
last confirmation of His divinity,
the last great assurance of His
gospel-that death did not end all
and that it meant only the begin
ming of the life to Come. Upon
that doctrinal foundation Christi
anity is built. AS st. Paul said:
"If there be no resurrection of the
dead, then is Christ not risen, and
if Christ be not risen, then is Our
preaching vain and your faith is
also vain" So the spirit of East
er is one of hope, of faith, of &c
stasy, of joy. 1t brought to NOR
tails an enduring belief in immor-
tality. Skeptics may sheer, ma

the heart of a great agnOstic it
found utterance by the tomb Of a
loved one-''for i'll the night of
death hope sees a star and listen

The greatest joy of the world is
in the spirit of Easter and fitting
ly it is concentrated at time
when nature itself is eXemplifying
the mystery of resurrection, when
Mother Earth has donned her
green mantle, the bells of the Ill
les are open and flinging forth
their unheard melodies, the sun
itself seems dancing with the spir-
it of the resurrection that has
come with its annual promise to
nature as well as to the hearts of
the faithful Kansas City Star.

Jury BIG PROBLEM.
IN HALL CASE TRIAL.
Prosecutor Simpson Sur
prised at Opposition to
Panel From Outside.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


SOMERVILLE. n. j., September
1S.-With Mrs. Frances Hall at liberty
in $4,000 bail and her brothers and
cousin in the Somerset County Jail
here. all awaiting trial on the charge
of murder, speculation in the famous
Hall Mills case today turned to the
probable date of the trial and the pos
sibility of additional disclosures by
Ralph V. M. Gorsline, gaunt vestry-
man of DIR. Halls church.
Little definite information could be
obtained from the authorities con-
corning either line of speculation.
State Senator Simpson, special
prosecutor, declined to make any pre-
dictions as to when he would be ready
to move for trial, but repeated the
statement he made in court Friday
afternoon when Mrs. Hall and the
other three defendants were ar
raigned, that he would delay as little
as possible.
Date Depends on Jury.
Before he moves for trial, he said,
he will have to be sure the investiga-
tion still being conducted by Jersey
City police is complete in every de-
tail. The outcome of his motion for
a foreign jury to try the case also
will have an important bearing on the
date. of the trial.
The motion to import a foreign jury
into Somerset County. which the de
Tense counsel have announced they
will oppose, will be argued before
Chief Justice Gummere and two other
justices of the New Jersey Supreme
Court at Trenton, Thursday.
Regarding the announcement by
Senator Clarence e. Case of counsel
for the defense that it is their present
intention to oppose the motion for a
foreign jury as unnecessary, Senator
Simpson said today he did not care
especially to comment, but was sur
prised.
II had understood from their pub
lished statements, he said. that they
would take a speedy trial with any
impartial jury. Why they insist
upon jury in Somerset County I
40 not know. Under our law a de-
fendant in criminal case has no
vested right in a jury: he is tried
by the jury the court declares he shall
have under the law"
Sees "Slur on Citizenry."
The announcement that Senator
Simpson intended to ask for a foreign
jury has caused some resentment
among certain residents of Somer-
vile. One of these is Edwin p. Gar.
retSOn, county treasurer of Somerset
County, who is on the panel drawn
for the September grand jury Until
Senator Simpson launched his sur
prise attack and had the April grand
jury recalled for the purpose, il had
been expected that the September
grand jury would consider the evil
dence in the Hall-Mills case.
In discussing the proposal of for.
eign petit or trial jury, Mr.. Garret
son today denounced it as a. slur
against the integrity of the citizenry
