Early Customs OF Today Contain Many
Curious Remnants OF Early Paganism

it exists now, a single day COM
memorative of the resurrection.
Change Easy
It was the invariable policy of the
church to give a Christian signifi-
canoe to such of the extant pagan
ceremonies as could not be rooted
out. In the case of Easter, the con-
version was easy. Joy at the rising
of the sun and at the awakening of
nature from the death of winter be-
came joy at the rising of the Sun
of Righteousness, at the resurrec-
ton of Christ from the grave.
Some of the pagan observances
which took place about the first of
Nav were also shifted to correspond
with the celebration of Easter. Many
new features were added. 1t was a
time of exuberant joy. All labor
ceased; all trade was suspended. 1t
was a favorite time for baptism,
the law courts were closed, aims
were given to the poor, slaves were
freed.
Time of Joy
In the reaction from the austeri.
ties of Lent people gave themselves
up to enjoyment, popular sports
dances and farcical entertainments
In some places the clergy to increase
the mirth recited humorous storie:
from the pulpit for the purpose o.
exciting the Easter smile.
In many parts of the world peopl'
exchanged the Easter kiss and th'
| salutation Christ Is Risen" to whicl
the reply was made, "He is Risen in
deed custom practiced in som'
parts of the continent even today.
United States today observes tn
Easter period as time for quie
reflection and meditation rather thar
gaiety. Easter Day ends the perio'
of comparative quiet and the custom
has developed in this country to ap
pear in the seasons raiment.

Name of Easter Derived from
Anglo-Saxon Heathen God
dess Known as Eastre
Button Churches to C0mmem-
crate Resurrection of Christ
On Sunday

Bluffton churches Sunday will OBJ
serve Easter in commemoratlon OF
the resurrection of Christ with many
of the traditional practices of the
observance marked by remnants that
were once distinctly pagan in char
acter.
The name, Easter, is used only
among the English and German
speaking people. 1t is derived from
a pagan goddess of the Saxons
known as Eastre. She was the per-
sonifcation of the east, of the morn
ing, of the spring.
"Eastermonath"
The month of April was dedicated
to her and was called "Eastermon-
ath" among the Saxons and Angles
"Ostermonat" Her worship struck
deep root in Northern Germany and
was carried to England by the Sax
ons. Her worship still survives in
some obscure customs in feasts tc
celebrate the return of spring.
The Christian Easter was origin
ally sort of thanksgiving observ
ance lasting eight days. This con
formed somewhat to the length o.
time devoted by pagans to theil
spring festivities and approached
the duration of the Jewish Pascha
observances.
The eight day period was after

that to two and finally it became a.

HOIU Much Seed For

Garden Council, O. S. u.
There is ample seed for every VIC
tory garden this year, provided folks
are careful in their purchases. In
fact there is quite little more seed
than there was last year. Last year
many folks gardening for the first
time, purchased far more seed than
they needed.
Much of that seed can be used this
year, for most vegetable seeds are
good for from two to four years. If
you are going to use the old seed it
may be well to put a dozen or so
of each kind on damp rags or blot
