Friday brings down the curtain
on the first half Of the Valley
league season with the winners still
very much in doubt. The present
standing finds the La Feria Hawks
topping the Ladds and Palms by a
scant one-half game, but with stin
two games to be played. The Hawks,
however, find themselves forced TO
win both Of their remaining games
with the Saints IN order to top the
league. The Valley loop, at least.
will not be forced to find the lead
ership ended in a tie as did the
Texas league, because II the Hawks
capture both games from the Saints

Ancient Symbols
of Resurrection

The first temple to Ceres. the Ro
man goddess Of grain, was built in
400 B. G. to commemorate the deliver
ance from a great famine. At the an
cient festival Of Ceres 1t was prac
tice to fasten burning brands to foxes
tails The foxes-or corn spirits, as
they were called-were turned loose
and left to burn, so that their ashes
might charm the grain and produce
an abundant crop. During this festi-
val grain was scattered about the
earth and thrown upon people, be-
cause it represented fertility-the
germ Of life. Our modern custom of
throwing rice on newly married couples
can be traced to this old pagan fes-
tivity.
Long before Christ the Romans
burned a newborn calf and scattered
the ashes over the soil to induce the
earth to yield much grain. This Gus
tom was later introduced into China,
and as late as 1904 porcelain images
of cows were presented to farmers in
the spring to bring good rice crop.
In north Germany. Scotland and
England the shepherds used to wor-
ship Pales. the shepherds god, in the
springtime. The sheep were first puri-
fed by brushing and washing. then
sulphur was burned about them. At
night the shepherds lighted great bon
fires and danced among their sheep
by the light of the moon and the fires.
In the morning the shepherd looked
to the east, toward the resurrected
sun, and washed his hands in dew. In
some sections of Europe the shepherds
still dance at Eastertime among their
sheep, which now typifies the slain
Lamb of God.
The lamb is one of the earliest sym
bols Of the resurrection. Among the
IL always eaten on Easter Sunday.
During Passion week hundreds of
spring lambs are brought into the mar
ket places and sold for the Easter
feast This is great time for the
children of the household, who make
friends with the lamb as soon as 1t is
brought home. They tie ribbons
around its neck, legs and tail and hang
garlands of flowers about its body.
Often the father finds 1t difficult to
separate the lamb from the child. But
a lamb must be slaughtered for the
Easter feast. so two lambs are usually
'bought-one for the children and one
for the festival. The spared lamb be-
comes the children's inseparable play
mate. At bedtime they argue with
each other to decide who shall sleep
with the lamb. Perhaps this old GUS
tom inspired the famous nursery
rhyme, "Mary had little lamb and
everywhere that Mary went the lamb
was sure to Washington Star.

Death of Christ

Before affairs stripped Of their orna-

fixes, with the tabernacles In the cen

vestmented priests, solemnly prostrat-

death of Christ in all the churches

A procession of penitents, composed
Of thousands of clergy and laymen,
wends it's way to Santa Croce in Ger

large piece of what is said to be the

centuries.
Between the hours corresponding to

Holy Staircase Goal.
In the city of Rome the scala santa,
or holy staircase. enshrined in the
church just across the way from st.
John Lateran. is the goal of thousands
of penitents, both Italian and foreign.
The tradition is that the staircase is
the same that Christ assembled in the
praetorium of Pontius Plate In Jerusa
lem, on his way to appear before the
Roman governor. The steps, all of
marble, are assumed to have been
brought to Rome by st. Helena, moth
err of Constantine, the first Christian
emperor.
All day the pilgrims ascend those
stairs on their knees, praying at each
pause. When they reach the top the!

FEAST OF NATIVITY

before the advent of Christian
- ity, spring was always celebrat-
ed by the pagan peoples, and it was
only natural that the early Chris
tians should make Easter one glori-
ors feast day, for Easter was the
same word as Ishtar, the great
spring goddess of ancient Babylon.
and the same word as "East"
place of the sun rising-it outranked
even Christmas, the early fathers
holding the day of the Nativity to
be only a preparation for Easter.
Some authorities tell us that it was
only as early as A. D. 354 that the
feast of the Nativity was celebrated
on the twenty-fifth Of December,
while Easter in its origin goes back
to the Sunday itself. Among the
early Christians every Sunday was
a joyful celebration of the resurrec-
ton of Jesus. On this joyful sew
enth day, fasting was not in order
and the faithful might say their
prayers standing instead of on their
knees.
