Season of Lent: Children Take Active Part.

In nearly every Catholic and Protestant church in

Indianapolis tomorrow, Easter services will be dramatized | 1n music. | Choirs, choruses and trumpet ensembles will supple-| ment sermons at celebrations that will begin as early a8 5 a. m. A] number of pageants and cantatas will be sung. In some churches | special organ music will be provided. Throughout the City pastors will tell the story of the Rising of Christ. They will relate how Holy Mary and her friends went early in the morning to the tomb of Joseph of Aramethea, where the body of Christ had been laid, to find, on the third day, the tomb was empty. A huge stone, which had been placed before the entrance, had been rolled back. The words that revealed the promised miracle, “He is arisen: He is not here,” will be repeated in sermons just as they were given to Holy Mary by the shining Angel who stood beside the entrance to the vacant tomb. Easter Sunday will mark the end of the solemn period of Lent, universally observed by the Christian world.

country tomorrow, The Moravians were the first American Protestants to conduct a sunrise service on Easter and the Ogden Junior Chorale of Indianapolis was the first group to inaugurate such a service especially for children. A quiet joy will characterize the traditional Moravian service both during its beginning in the Second Church and its conclusion in “God's Acre.” as the denomination calls the cemetery. So integrated with Moravian practice has the Easter service become that a litany for it has been included in the hymnal. The First Moravian Church will unite with the Second for the Easter service. They are the only two congregations of the denomination Indianapolis and share their pastor, the Rev Stanley R. Woltjen.

Trumpets to Sound

The muffled sound of trumpets and trombones playing the old| hymn, “Christ the Lord Is Risen! Today,” coming from a point near the roof of the church will open the services at about 4:15 a. m. Afterward, the congregation will rise and the Rev. Mr, Woltjen will proclaim: “The Lord is risen.” “The Lord is risen indeed!” congregation will repiy. The Lord's prayer, ohter prayers and responses will complete the church service after which the congregation will go in cars to the Sutherland cemetery. As the first rays of the rising sun streak the horizon, everywhere Moravians will be praying in God's Acre.” They explain that they so designate the cemetery because there all men are on one level as the immortal children of God. For the Moravians. as for all Christians, the rising sun symbolizes the Resurrection, spiritual renewal and he dawn of the new day of opportunity.

Salem, N. C., has become a mecca for thousands of people of all faiths at Easter time. The quaint town, steeped in tradition and historic associations, was founded by the Moravians in 1766.

Opponents of the measure contend that this would be a direct infringement of the President’s power as Commander-in-Chief of all the armed forces of the United States, while proponents as-
