Easter Thoughts.
Kneeling beside her mid a kneeling
throng
In the dim twilight of the temple,
where
The Easter buds, scent laden, filled
the air
With sWttet aroma, and the solemn
song,
Low chanted, floated through the holy
place,
I watched the curtain of her melting
eyes
Veil their soft rediance, and o’er that
fair face
Stole reverent stillness, as with gentle
sighs
Sins from her sinless lips were soon
confessed.
(Ah, fairest saint, were all sins but as
thine!)
Then lifting her white forhead from its
pillowed rest
Turning her sad sweet visage, pure
with thought divine.
She murmured, bending toward me as I
sat,
“Charles, Mrs. Smith yet wears her
winter hat!”
Beautiful Easter tide. Had not that
Roman seal been broken, and the Dow
ers of darkness thwarted there would
have been no fight at Easter tide. But
the son of righteousness has risen with
healing in His wings and now His glory
is the light of Easter day.

A German Easter custom is to light
fires on the hillside of the Hartz, ob
taining the holy water from the strea ms
at midnight, when the good spirit moves
the waters, and the oresentation of
cake3, shaped in the form of the rising
sun, are made special features of the
occasion.

It has often been asked why an egg
is the symbol of Easter. The use of
eggs for Easter can be traced to the

Are you considering a ouggy? Don’t buy before seeing my Famous Sun
ny South Buggy, fitted wiih my new Patent Sorings. These springs make the
buggy ride easv, and easy riding means long wear. Made to wear and testimo
nials from past purchasers prove our statement, that it is the best buggy made.
Another Attraction
Is our Patent Top and Curtains, patented by Mr. E. Becker, which makes

theology and philosophy of Egyptians,
Persians. Gauls, Greeks and Romans,
among all of whom an egg was a symbol
of the universe, the work of the Supre
me Divinity. The Persians gave pre
sents of eggs at the feast of the vernal
equinox—in honor of the renewal of all
things. The Jews adopted it to meet
the circumstances of their departure
from Egypt, and it was used in the
feast of the passover as a part of the
furnishing of the table with the paschal
lamb. The early Druids also used the
egg in their ceremonies.

In Switzerland a peculiar game is
played at Easter. Large baskete filled
with bran are placed in a circle some
where on a free field or public place.
Then as many rows of 100 eggs as there
are competitors are laid, each egg a
foot or so apart from the next, the rows
radiating from the baskets to an equal
distance. The task is to put the 100
eggs, one by one, into the basket with
out breaking any and who does it in the
shortest.space of time is the winner.

The Easter festival of our forefath
ers covered a period of 16 days, The
week beginning with Easter Sunday
was most entirely given over to sport
and games and general merrymaking.
An odd feature of the old time culebrut-
ion was that of heaving or lifting, the
“heaved” sitting in a chair decorated
with white ribbons. Easter Monday
and Easter Thursday were known at
heaving days, the women sitting in a
chair on Monday and the men on Tues- 1
day. Those heaving or lifting the chair
were expected to lift it three times and
then kiss the occupant, who, in turn, j
kissed them. To the regret of the lads
and lassies in the distiicts where the
noveljjceremony was once performed,
the custom has long since died out.

Easter was not kept as a festival un
til the fifth oi sixth century, but prev
ious to that the question of establishing
it as a feast day come before the coun
cil on Nice, when it was decided author
itatively that Easter was henceforth to
be the Sunday following the 14th day of
the calendar moon which happened upon
or next after the 21st of march so that
jf this J-1 th day be.a Sunday Easter.was
not to be on that date but on the next
following Sunday. Easter day, there

weeks inclusive of March 22 and April

than these two dati 8 In 1883, Easter
occurred on March 26. and again in
1894. which will be twice in the present
century. In 1951 it will occur again on
March z5.

There are many superstitions connect
ed with Easter Sunday which are
significant of the season, and are al
most as imperative as laws. One of
these is the necessity of having some
thing new to wear on this day in order
to insure hanpiness for the coming
year. Hence the Easter bonnet. An
other one is that on that day the sun
dapees. This is an old legend, and the
lines from Sir John Juckling are well
known:
'But oh, she dances such a way—
No sun upon an Easter day
Is half so fair a sight.”
It is also claimed in heathen countries,
where the superstition orignated, that
the lambs frisk and dance in the light
of the rising sun on Ostro, the name of
the heathen divinity who was also re
presented as danci ng and who gave to
our Easter its name.
