In many parts of the United States this has been a rough, tough winter. Millions of our Citizens will he glad to ho epi any promise of nlief from the hardship which the wealhei prophets may hold out for us. Some such hope is to be found o the almanac's assurance that it 3:17 A. M. on March 21. the ,un crossed the < quim-x and winter ended. Although we have kept alive ne name, Easter, many may uot know th.it the equinox, <u .ne. first day of Spiing, was add sacred by our luathen tnevstors who honored the godUei»s Easter, patroness of fertflty and fecundity. Strangely num h. we continue to make dispLvs of rabbits and eggs which wei. once symbols of Baxter’s interest in fecundity, n.thcut paying any kind of l-<ervnce to the goddess hereif. Dwi iy, Easter Sunday des"ribes a Christian festival a nidi foil ws file first full noon after the equinox. Acording to early Christian church traditions, the Sunday al which the r> sunected Jesus at Nazar-'.h appeared among rlis disciples as a living min .mist follow upon a full moon. .I is also procribed that the lull moon must follow the quinox.

EASTER

the lapse of time between me equinox and Easter Sunday, when the resurrection of Jesuh in the flesh is celebrated, may be considerably more than a m< nth. This year, the lapse of time between what was once a heathen holi lay and the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus will be relatively short. The equinox comes on Tuesday, the 21st. Then there is a full moon on Saturday, the 25th. So th<» very next day is what might be calk'd "Resurrection Sunday,’’ but which we persist in calling "Easter Sunday." Os all the stories between the covers of the Bible, none is so dramate as that told in the Gospels according to Matthew, Luke and John When Jesus appeared among His disciples, who thought He died on the cross. He asked them to touch His wounds. The disciples had been dining when Ho arrived, and with them He ate broiled fish and honeycomb. Tic walked with them In the open. Then He fao-d about, raised His arms and bh-ssrd them. With >ut m >re ado. He ascended into Heaven. Read the Gosp< 1 accounts of the amazing scenes before you go to church on Easter Sunday and, wh> n you arrive, vou will know why you are there. Sendees. I realize a lot of work was put in the play.
