Easter is the celebration OF
resurrection. To the Chris
tan world it is the celebration
of the resurrection of divinity
embodied in humanity. A
round it center the history,
the tradition, the memories,
the ideals and the hopes of the
Christian church. To the
Christian faith it commemo-
rates an actual event that is
the supreme assurance of life
after death. But Easter SYM
bolizes something larger than
a particular faith, something
more than the resurrection of
a particular individual. 1t ex-
presses a faith that existed
continuously, and was virtually
universal, many millenniums
before Christ, ages before
there was any Christian creed,
a faith that has since existed
and still exists among mil
lions who know not Christ or
who deny him-humanity's
inherent, intuitive faith that
death is not the end of life.

FEAST OF NATIVITY

Before the advent of Chris
tianity, spring was always Gel
ebrated by the pagan peoples,
and it was only natural that
the early Christians should
make Easter one glorious feast
day, for Easter was the same
word as Ishtar, the great
spring goddess of ancient
Babylon, and the same word
as East the place of the
sun rising-it outranked even
Christmas, the early fathers
holding the day of the Nativ-
ity to be only a preparation
for Easter. Some authorities
tell us that it was only as early
as A. d. 1854 that the feast of
the Nativity was celebrated on
the twenty-fifth of December,
while Easter in it's origin goes
back to the Sunday itself.
Among the early Christians
every Sunday was a joyful eel
ebration of the resurrection of
Jesus. On this joyful seventh
day, fasting was not in order
and the faithful might say
their prayers standing instead
OF on their knees.

FESTIVAL OF EASTER

The continuance, the rise
and fall of festivals is one of
the mysteries of the human
race. Once upon a time
Twelfth night was the jolliest
of feasts, merry with wassail
parties, and everybody had a
cake, a cake with a bean in it.
Frazer gives many of the
curious Whitsunday customs,
some of which still survive in
Europe, though in this coun-
try they have virtually disap-
peared. And where are the
goose, the "apple sauce, on
ions and sage" which once
graced the board at the feast
of Michaelmas?
Only the egg habit of Easter
has grown with the years. and
the modern child expects a
cluch of eggs with the same
confidence as presents at
Christmas. In the early days
the chocolate eggs, the toy
eggs, the pasteboard ovals
with their varied gifts" were
unknown. Eggs there were,
but they were only the simple
product of the hen, which fond
mothers wrapped in pieces of
red flannel to give them a
wonderful scarlet color.
Inthe first days of Chris
tianity dyed Easter eggs
were blessed by the priests
and kept as amulets, as mas
cost. But historians tell us
that they find references to
the eggs of spring long before
the Christian religion came
into being, and that the roll
ling of the Pesche, or Pace,
egg is one of the oldest GUS
toms in the world. Perhaps
the fact that children the
world over long ago adopted
''egg rolling" as their own
especial delight will suffice
to keep the Easter egg GUS
toms always in fashion.

WHEN EASTER COMES

Lent, which began Ash
Wednesday, February 18th,
and continues for forty days
(not including Sundays until
Sunday, April 9Th, when will
be celebrated throughout the
Christian World, the Resur-
rection of Christ. Easter is
not a fixed date, but by gener-
al agreement it was decided
that Easter should be cele-
brated on the first Sunday af-
ter the first full moon after
the vernal equinox, March 81.
Thus the earliest date on
which Easter could possibly
be is March 22nd, and in that
case the full moon must occur
on March 21st. The latest
date possible is April %, and
that date was observed in
1916.

dark Calvary;
Victory complete was won.
Weary, lonely, oh so lonely;
Friends had left Him, all
had fled;
Bound with chains; by SOL

Christ to Pilates hall was

On dark Calvary's cross they
nailed Him.

Christ, whose brow was
crowned with thorns.
And His rock-bound tomb was

Long ago on Easter morn.
While the soldiers watch were

Angels rolled the stone

On that Easter morn!
Death forever more was con-

JOYOUS SPRING

Easter is a universal pag-
cant, south of the equator as
well as north, and in the
southern hemisphere Easter is
a time of falling leaves, of
harvested crops and of ap-
preaching winter. To those
who live on the neither side of
the world there is no material
manifestation of rebirth at
Eastertime. To them it is a
time of spiritual renewal, a
resurrection of faith sufficient
that it overcomes the frown of
approaching winter skies and
exalts to certainty the hope
that even winter ends and
spring must follow in the un-
ending march of the seasons.

VITAMIN GA" MAY PRE-
VENT COLDS

A new field for study of the COM
mon cold may be opened through
further tests of effects of vitamin A
on the human body, the American
College of Physicians was told rec
emily.
The college accepted the joint in
vitation of the University of Cali
fornia and Leland Stanford Univer-
sity to hold its next annual clinical
session at San Francisco some time
during the spring of 1882.
DR.. E. v. McCollum, of Johns
Hopkins University School of Hy-
CINE, said persons not receiving suf-
ficent vitamin A in diet have dis
charges from the nose and sinus pas
sages similar to the discharges in the
latter stages of the common cold
Vitamin A is found in egg yolk,
milk, cod liver oil and vegetables
such as lettuce. 1t is not yet known
whether lack of vitamin A in the diet
renders a person more likely to ''take
cold. !" Investigators of the cause and
prevention of the common cold
should study the possible effect of
vitamin A in this connection, how
ever, DR.. McCollum said.
tIf vitamin A should be found to
have any effect on colds, it would be
only as preventive and not a cure
after colds were started.
Pyorrhea and tooth troubles asso-
ciated with it may have the same
cause as scurvy, a disease due to
lack of vitamin C. Scurvy formerly
prevailed among sailors, armies in
the field and other people who eat
no fresh fruits and vegetables for
long periods.
Deficiency of vitamin C in the diet
causes diseased condition of the
pulp inside the teeth, DR.. McCollum
explained.
The teeth then often become GEN.
tiers of infections that spread to
other parts of the body with serious
results. Vitamin C is present in
fresh uncooked fruits and vegetables.

According to survey taken as Of
March l, Maryland farmers intend
planting greater acreages of all the
main spring sown crops than were
harvested last year. This is partic.
ularlyl true of the food crops, oats,
barley, soy boans, and cowpeas, the
acreages of which may be from 25 to
so per cent greater than ere har;
vested last year.
Of the important field crops it is
probable that only wheat and tame
hay will be harvested from smaller
acreages than in 1880.
Because of the drought last year
considerably less wheat was planted
last fall than was harvested. The
drought also caused serious damage
to hay crops, especially to new plant
ing of clovers, with the result that
the acreage of tame hay for harvest
viii propably be about seven per
cent smaller than was harvested last
year.
With part of their usual wheat ace
age available for spring crops and
with shortage of hay in sight, far
mers in Maryland have in mind
planting about three per cent more
corn, Is per cent more oats, so per
cent more barley, so per cent more
soy beans, 40 percent more cowpeas,
8 per cent more potatoes, 25 per cent
more sweet potatoes, and Is per cent
more tobacco than they harvested
last year.

Our National Breads
Here at home. although we
think of bread as rather unin-
teresting essential of the meal,
there are two typically American
breads which are interesting to
travellers in our couatry-the corn
bread of the South and the Boston
brown bread of Yankee fame.
More and more dietitians here,
are making a study Of bread.
They have discovered that while
our favorite white bread is not
nearly so lacking in nutriment as
as it has been sometimes sup
posed, it needs some strengthen
ing if it is to be our national
staff of life. Recently an expert
dietitian has made some interest
ing tests of various kinds of bread
substituting canned tomato juice
for milk--thus adding that vita
min wealth which tomatoes afford.
She makes the following comment
on these breads:
Breads made with tomato juice
have good texture and lightness
and compare favorably with those
made with milk"

recipes which she found nutri-
tious and good:

EASTER OMENS

In England and France it is
considered a good omen to see
a lamb on Easter morning
when one first looks out of the
bedroom window. If the
lambs head is turned toward
the house any wish that is
made will come true. 1t is
commonly thought that the
devil can take the form of any
creature in the world except
the lamb and the dove.

COLORED EASTER EGGS

When eggs first became
identified with the Christian
festival they were dyed red to
commemorate the blood of
Calvary. But this practice did
not remain universal, for it
is recorded that Edward |, in
1905 ordered "450 dozen eggs
to be stained in boiling and
some to be covered with golf
leaf" for distribution in the
royal household.
