The Faith &
That Life Is Stronger
2 & Than Death
TjfN A spirit of solemn festival Eas
JJ ter is celebrated, commemorating
to all Christians the miracle and
mystery of Christ’s resurrection. Its
season in the Northern hemisphere is
the springtime of nature's rebirth, a
perennial drama of life arising anew
from the death and darkness of win¬
ter. The story of Scripture and the
visible wonder of the earth’s trans¬
figuration tell alike of the triumph of
life over death, of hope's victory over
despair, of the dawn that ends the
night of doubt and waiting.
Easter is a Christian festival, but
all nations and peoples from ancient
times have acknowledged the symbolic
significance of the coming of spring.
Easter itself is linked to forgotten
ceremonies by which the sun was wel¬
comed and the earth rededieated to
beauty and fruitfulness. This was al¬
ways a mystery; it is still a mystery
and a marvel, though man has learned
a little knowledge and has made the
seasons his servants. The flower that
springs from the seed, the glory of
green that 'sweeps the hills in spring¬
time are manifest miracles. They
fortify and justify the faith of those
who believe that on Easter morning
a stone was rolled away from a
sepulcher in Palestine and death was
found vanquished in the Resurrection.
* * *
In the simple words that tell of the
earliest Easter, there is evident the
wonder of its witnesses and the joy
with which they found their hopes
come true. For in the dark hours of
Gethsemane and Golgotha all seemed
lost save an oft-repeated promise of
resurrection, and hope alone was left
to warm the heart of faith and give it
courage. But the promise was kept
and hope was justified, and the mir¬
acle of Easter morning became the cor¬
nerstone of Christian faith and doc¬
trine.
In a more ancient story, written
when no legend lacked a meaning,
hope was the last gift of the gods to
a world infested with evils and sor¬
rows. And hope might have died and
left the world desolate were it not for
the promises made and kept with
every cycle of the seasons. These
have nourished in all ages the faith
which is “the assurance of things
hoped for, the proving of things not
seen.” They have taught men to work
and wait and trust in the future, to
keep courage through darkness and
doubt, to seek for new life and happi¬
ness, even in the presence of suffering
and death.
* * *
It has been said that the times have
taught us again the value of faith and
the need for it. If this is so. then
this year’s Easter will be widely ob¬
served in serious and thoughtful spirit.
For these are times of doubt and dis¬
couragement and hope itself is weary
of waiting for light and leading.
The modern man is perplexed with
many problems, but those that touch
him closest are old as humanity itself.
He seeks life’s purpose and its destiny.
He is aware of his own bewilderment
Easter, the Birth of Sunday
ASTER, by the derivation of its name, is intimately connected with the East,
the sun-rising, day-dawning point! It symbolizes for ns the beginning of a
new era, with death no longer a blank door closing upon human existence,
opening upon only uncertainty or fear beyond; with sin no longer interposing a
dense veil between mankind and an offended Creator.
Instead, it tells of life as the Spring-time of a glorious summer, illumined by
the beauty of a gracious Father reconciled to mankind—of death as but the
entrance to a fuller life in another sphere.
A new life-blessing Sun issued from the garden tomb on Easter morning,
and ever since that day of the opened grave we have called the same first day of
the week Sunday and made it a happy and should-be holy rest day as a weekly
memorial of the most beneficent and most revolutionary event this earth has ever
witnessed since upon it light was first made to shine.

ambition, but grants no guarantees of
peace or prosperity or happiness. And
he wonders whether this is all a sorry

nowhere into nothingness.
» * •
The Christian finds a sufficient an¬
swer in the significance of Easter morn¬
ing. The foundation of his faith ts
the promise of resurrection and its su¬
preme fulfillment in the risen Christ.
But the question is older than Chris¬
tianity and its answer as old as the
everlasting hills and the seasons
which visit them. Life is stronger
than death and is forever renewed in
joy and loveliness. Darkness prom¬
ises the dawn, winter gives way to
spring and summer. The past may be
forgotten; the future is worth waiting
and working for.
For every flower of spring declares
that nature is no pessimist and has
kept her promises since the world
began. And man, who is by birth a child
of nature, may learn from this living
lesson to deny his own doubts and
keep hjs courage for the work before
him.

To Bring an Easter Smile
In northern Europe, many peasants
still greet one another with the cry,
“Christ is risen.” The answer comes,
“He is risen, indeed.” Then colored
Easter eggs are exchanged. Some¬
times jokes are told to induce an “Eas¬
ter smile.”
CLEVELAND
Concerning the Origin
and Observance of Lent
forty days of Lent are re
UL garded as being kept after the
example of Moses (Exodus 24 ;28)
and Elijah (I Kings, 10:8), and above
all, as commemorating the fasting of
Christ (Matthew, 4:2).
The forty-day fast dates to the early
Fourth century. Its origin is obscure.
In the early church the duration either
was not fixed or it varied in the
churches in different countries. But
from the Fourth century the period of
fasting seems to have aiiproximated
more or less closely in most places to
forty days, the fast being extended
over six or seven weeks, according
as Sundays only or Saturdays and
Sundays were excepted.
According to the Catholic Encyclo¬
pedia, St. Leo (who died in 401) ex¬
horts his hearers to abstain that they
may “fulfill with their fasts the apos¬
tolic institution of the forty days.”
But the encyclopedia adds that mod¬
ern scholars are almost unanimous in
rejecting this view, because the exist¬
ing remains of the first three centuries
show “considerable diversity of prac¬
tice regarding the fast before Easter
and also a gradual process of develop¬
ment in the matter of its duration.”
“The passage of primary impor¬
tance,” it resumes, “is one quoted by
Eusebius from a letter of St. Irenaeus
to Pope Victor in connection with the
Easter controversy. Irenaeus says
there is not only a controversy about
the time of keeping Easter, but also
regarding the preliminary fast. ‘For,’
he continues, ‘some think they ought
to fast for one day, others for two
days, and others for several, while
others reckon forty hours both of day
and night to their fast.’
“He also urges that this variety of
usage is of ancient date, which im¬
plies that there could have been no
apostolic tradition on the subject
. . . We may then fairly conclude
that Irenaeus about the year 190 knew
nothing of any Easter fast of forty
days. The same inference must be
drawn from the language of Tertullian
only a few years later. . . . And
there is the same silence observable
in all the pre-Nicene fathers, though
many had occasion to mention such an
apostolic institution if it had existed.’’
Pope Nicholas, who served from 858
to 867, declared that abstinence on
Friday was obligatory on all commu¬
nicants of the Roman church. Friday
corresponds to the day of the week on
which Jesus was crucified, and many
of the early Christians were already
observing it as a weekly fast day;
that is, a day on which they abstained
from eating flesh meats. Fish being
the principal nonflesh meat, it accord¬
ingly became the favorite food for
those days when flesh meats were for¬
bidden. Also, the fish was one of the
earliest symbols of Christianity.—

The Law and the Prophet*
“Whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto you, even so do ye also
unto them; for tills is the law and the
prophets.”
A NATION-WIDE boycott on nil
la Jewish business and professional
men In Germany has been clamped
down by Chancellor Hitler’s National
Socialist party. The announcement
states that it will last “until Jewish
life in Germany is paralyzed.” Hit¬
ler’s government, while not officially
countenancing the boycott, is not ex¬
pected to Intervene.
At Nazi headquarters it was said
that the boycott “is a purely defensive
measure solely directed against Ger¬
man Jewry ns retaliation for the anti
German campaign in foreign coun¬
tries.”
All over Germany Jewish owned
shops and department stores closed
their doors and were picketed by
storm troopers.
"TP HE President’s bill providing for
the employment of 250,000 men
for the purpose of reforestation and
other work in government forest re¬
serves and along the rivers, passed
congress with some amendments made
by the senate. One of these amend¬
ments removes the state quota re¬
strictions on the sixty-eight million
dollars remaining of the relief funds
in the hands of the Reconstruction
Finance corporation. This makes it
possible for states that have borrowed
up to the quota previously provided
to continue to borrow until the sixty
eight million is exhausted.
In the house the bill was adopted
without a roll call, but with the Re¬
publican members in opposition. This
opposition was not directed at the bill
but at the methods of ruling the house
by the Democratic majority. It was
the first of the administration bills
that had not received non-partisan
support. The bill was strongly op¬
posed by President Green of the Amer¬
ican Federation of Labor.
r\TRECTOR of the Budget Lewis W.
Douglas has completed the task
of revising the payment to veterans
under the terms of the economy bill
giving the President dictatorial powers
for such revision. This revision elimi¬
nates from the pension rolls all vet¬
erans with non-service disabilities, and
reduces the payments to those with
service disabilities by approximately
15 per cent, the same percentage of
reduction as that made in the wages
of government employees.
The economies that either have been,
or are expected to be, effected cover
the reduction of 15 per cent in the
wages of all government employees
made by the President; reduction in
veterans’ benefits and administration
now made; reorganization of the de¬
partments and bureaus in the admin¬
istrative branch of the government,
for which the President has author¬
ity, and on which tie is now working;
postal service economies, now being
considered. When all have been com¬
pleted the following savings will have

captioned “Out with Daniels” have

call him “the murderer of Azueta and

who were killed in the fighting when
United States forces landed at Vera

T TNDER the authority granted him
L' by congress the President has or¬
dered a 15 per cent cut in the pay of
all federal employees, effective April 1.
The order affects the employees in all
departments including officers and en¬
listed men in the army and navy, Post
Office department, and all others on
the government pay rolls, a total of
approximately 800,000.
The authority, given by congress
provided for such cut as reduced liv¬
ing expenses might warrant up to a
total of 15 per cent. An investigation
of living costs made by the Depart¬
ment of Labor showed a decrease from
June 30 of last year to the present
time of 21.7 per cent. On the strength
of that report the President ordered
the cut in pay to the limit of that al¬
lowed by the terms of the economy
law. It is estimated the saving to the
government will be approximately
$125,000,000 annually.

that full information be given on ev¬
ery prospectus offering securities for

be made available at other sources.
Bonuses and commissions paid to
sellers would also be revealed to the
public.
No serious objection to the terms
of the bill is expected In either the

Tales of Pirate Gold
Not All Mere Fiction
Pirate gold exists mainly in legend
and in fiction, but some genuine
treasure turned up recently when a
poor Bahama fisherman led the.
police to a cache on the shore of
New Providence island. Here he had
found five bars of gold bullion worth
about $60,000 which had been buried
beneath a wild plum tree among
rocks bearing a sign of Freemasonry.
In many a tale of pirate gold or
other hidden treasure, a pile c.
stones, a tree, a cross, perhaps, and
a map with mysterious symbols ap¬
pear. Hence the most recent Ba¬
hama treasure yarn runs more or
less true to form. And it is quite
true that pirates and buccaneers
found safe havens among the nu¬
merous Islands of the Bahamas
group. One recalls sinful old .John
Watling, who gave his name to Wat
ling’s island and who died by a bul¬
let while engaged on one of his raids.
And there was another nest of
pirates who harried the Bermuda
salt rakers when they went yearly
to the Bahamas to harvest their
“crop” from the ponds they had
established as early 1678 on
Turk's Island. The Bermudians, in
their 20-ton sloops with slave crews,
raked the salt in winter, selling it in
the American colonies or exchanging
it for foodstuffs which they took
home and sold. It was a lucrative
trade for sixty years or more, de¬
spite tbe interference of pirate
bands.—New York Times.
