in this number at such an amazingly
small sum, the chronicle further
states, "were to be stained in boiling,
or covered with leaf-gold and after

Long, long ago children Of old Eng
land are commented upon by ancient
chroniclers as asking for their Paste
eess," paste" evidently being a cor
ruption Of Pasque. meaning Easter.
Not only were they prepared for them
by being hardened by boiling, but they
were tinged with the juices of herbs,
broom flowers, ETC.; even sometimes
covered with leaf-gold for the gentry.

certain similar customs which prevail
In our own midst in Washington's
world famous egg g-rolling for children
On Easter Monday within the southern
confines Of the White House Grounds.
At the White House egg-rolling, as
every one knows, grown persons are
not admitted unless accompanied by
children. Interested sightseeing visit
ors to our Capitals midst on Easter
Monday have been known to strive
to overcome this handicap by borrow
ing youngsters with their cherished
Easter baskets in order not to miss
the childish gayety of the event in its
colorful and dignihed setting, with
our President and his lady always on
hand as host and hostess for a por-
ton Of the time.
Unique observances Of Easter pre-
vail today in all portions of The globe.
Their forms vary, but one central
theme inspires them all-the resurrec-
ton of our Lord from the dead
At Bethlehem, Pa, and at winston
Salem, N. c., the celebration of this
theme by those Of Moravian descent
in their sunrise service near their
cemeteries has become one OF the
most memorable services OF the church
throughout the world.

ings through the early morning mists
over the moors, and others testified
as to its jubilant activities in the
reflections which they saw mirrored
In pond, or even q pail Of water.
Grave scholars of the church even
found 1t necessary to discuss these
apparent phenomena with the credu-
lous and to demonstrate at great
length that. while the sun might
sometimes shine more brightly on
Easter morning, 1t was not by pre-
arranged plan and that there WAS no
dancing aid could be none.
In England this supposed phenomena
was popularity referred to rs the
Lamb playing" and In remote parts
OF DevonshKe 1t Is claimed that su-
perstitious young girls still get up
very early on Easter morning In an
effort not only to see the sun dancing,
but a lamb and flag in the center
of its disk. To see a lamb on first
looking out of the window on Easter
morning is also considered good
omen, especially II its head hap
pened to be turned toward you.
In many other communities, too,
various legends have grown up in
connection with rain falling on Easter
day, as is illustrated by this old
proverb, "A good deal of rain on
Easter day gives crop of good grass
but little good hay" Similarly, there
is a superstition with regard to the
wind in the east on Easter day, 1t
being considered necessary to draw
water and wash in it, If one would
escape various supposed III effects
from the east wind during the re-
naming months of the year. Another
is that horses should be driven into
the water Easter to ward of disasters

The egg. probably more closely as
sociated with the observance OF Easter
among the children of America than
other symbols goes back to very
earliest times for its association with
the religious festival. Indeed, from
the records OF antiquity the egg ap-
pears to have been the symbol Of the
terminating fertility of the Spring,
and as such in all likelihood came
to be associated with the feast Of
Easter with the advent Of Christi
anity.

HT AsTER," to quote the Rev,
- Charles Warner, rector OF
St. Adams Church. lis the
- date upon which all OF the
church calendar is based Likewise
is it the oldest of all the Christian
festivals. Significantly Easter is the
celebration of an event. not an an
niversary. since no one knows the
exact date which should be specifically
celebrated.
Today. Easter is pre-eminent among
all other festivals throughout the
Christian world. not only because 1t
honors the great historical fact of the
Resurrection upon which the whole
structure of Christianity itself rests
but because all other festivals are de-
rived from it and regulated by it.
In the National Cathedral here in
Washington upon Mount st. Alban,
at the intersection Of Wisconsin and
Massachusetts, avenues. the Chapel OF
the Resurrection which is memorial
to the late Bishop Harding, second
Bishop of Washington, typihes for
the centuries to come the church's
belief in the significance of Easter in
connection with the resurrection OF
our Lord Believed to be the first
chapel of its type erected since the
eleventh century, its sturdy columns
and Norman arches suggest the endur-
ing quality of the Christian faith just
as its murals connected with the resur-
rection will depict Christs triumphant
victory over death.
The tomb of Bishop Harding in the
Chapel of the Resurrection, with its
recumbent statue, in itself symbolizes
a spirit of eternal rest.
When the Chapel OF the Resurrec-
ton was first set apart for private
devotions by the Cathedral authorities
it was felt it would have served its
purpose If as many as five persons a
day availed themselves of its privi-
leges, but such was the need that it
fulfilled that in the first month alone
after it was opened to the public, sew
eral hundred persons availed them
selves of its sanctuary for devotions
With each succeeding Easter this
Chapel of the Resurrection has con-
tinued to minister unto an increas-
ing number seeking solace and cour-
age to carry on within the retreat OF
its confines.
In certain way our Christian
Easter corresponds with the Jewish
feast OF the Passover. The Italians
call Easter basque" the Spanish
"pasqua" and the French ''paques,
these various appellations probably
coming from "pesach" ito be passed
over), the Hebrew name for the Pass
over. This ancient feast commemo-
rated the sprinkling Of the blood of a
sacriflcial paschal lamb on the tran
SONS and door posts of the Hebrew
houses as sign of immunity from the
Angel of Destruction that he would
pass over the houses OF the children
Of Israel in Egypt when he smote the
Egyptians"
Similarly, when the feast Of the
resurrection came to be celebrated in
the time of the Apostles, it was nat
ural to let the name of the Christian
festival take over that OF the earlier
one with which 1t was symbolically
linked.
Up until the fourth century Ammo
Domini In church history the paschal
observance designated both the fes-
tival OF the crucif1xion of our Lord
and His resurrection. Later it was
limited to the latter festival only.
In 325 the Council Of Nicea desig-
mated that Easter should be celebrated
on the first Sunday following the full
