The egg has been connected with relligious worship for many thousand years, and still clings to its place in the ceremonials of all faiths. Buddhist, Moslem, Christian—all connect the egg with Easter, with the resurrection, with the coming forth of life. The custom of coloring eggs is an old one; red is the commonest color, in imitation of the blood of pre-Christian mediator shed for sinful men. Both the idea and the color passed from the Pagan to the Christian custom; tracing it back, we find that in most Pagan lands it was a type of the resurrection of nature from her winter death, and the festival celebrating the season was held in the fourth month. The custom of presenting eggs to friends on Easter is Magian or Persian. In the discussion of Plutarch and Macrobius, we find that the egg played an important part in the religions of the ancient world. It was used in augeries; was placed by the Romans upon the table at the beginning of the repasts, and m feasts in honor of the dead also prominent in other ceremonials. H Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Rohr, who have been visiting relativess here over Sunday, returned to their home at Hoagland this orning. Miss Rudy of Dayton, Ohio, was present Sunday to conduct services at the Antioch church, but owing to the inclement weather, the audience was so small that services were held at the home of M. J.

Meetings will begin at 7:30 p. m. Everything is in readiness for the grand Easter hill which is to be given tonight to the C. Y. M. S. club rooms. A number of out of town jH'ople arrived during the day and every indication points to one of the grandest (‘vents that ever happened iin this city.
