The Rev. Mr. W. A. C. Hughes, D. D., formerly area secretary of New Orleans, has been elected to head the bureau. He will have supervision over all the Negro conferences of the church and interpret the peculiar problems and needs of his people to the board. This bureau will have equal standing in the organization with the bureau of city work, the bureau of rural work, the bureau of foreign-speaking work, and other bureaus of the board of home missions and church extension. Secretary Hughes received many votes at the Methodist general conference at Des Moines, Iowa, May last, when two Negro bishops were elected to full rank in the Methodist Episcopal church.

The number of cases reported originally to Major General Crowder, when he was serving as provost marshal general in Chicago was 489,003. By various processes of examinations and checking, intended to do no one an injustice the list has now been scaled down to about 100,000. Most of the lists are now in the hands of the local draft boards of the districts throughout the country in which the selective draft machinery was in operation during the war. The war and navy departments have completed their re-checks of the lists, and further re-checking is in progress by the draft boards. Having exhausted every means at its disposal for correcting the lists the War department feels that after the local boards have made their reports therein nothing more that can be done except to make the list public in response to demands from various parts of the country. "In order to assist all peace officers and others in apprehending deserters, we are now authorized to state officials to postmasters for posting on the post office bulletin boards; to postmasters for its field agents; to detect agents; the American Legion, and other patriotic societies in the state; and to include reimbursement for the amount actually expended, but not to include the cost of civil or officer citations for the apprehension and delivery to military control of deserters from the select the reason for this modification of regulations relating to payment of loans for delivery of deserts is lack of funds, however, it is the intention of the secretary of war, however, to the convenience in order to appropriate sufficient funds to enable the department to pay the full reward of $50 for the apprehension and delivery of draft dodgers.

One hundred books of stenographic notes dictated by President Wilson were taken to Chicago by Charles Swen, who was President Wilson's private stenographer for the last nine years. They contain nearly 10,000,000 words. This material will be used by Mr. Swen in writing a book. Easter is the festival of life. As the desire for life is the strongest human passion both for this world and the world beyond, so Easter is the climax of the Christian year. Celebrated early in Christian history, it grew in popularity until it surpassed in interest every other of the holy days. The joy-bells rang on Christmas because the Holy Child was born, but Christmas was only the day of promise, not of fulfillment. Lent brought the dark days, when the promise of life went into eclipse; and at its close the dirge displaced the hymn of joy, as darkness shrouded the cross and the neighboring city. Suppose That Had Been the Last. If the day of crucifixion had been the end of the career of Jesus, no matter how beautiful his life had been, the Christian faith would not have made its way the length of the Mediterranean, penetrated the forest of the north, and passed in triumphal progress around the world. Mankind must have a religion of hope. The Italian peasants in their paganism kindled fires on the hilltops to the sun, when, in spring the triumph over the gloom of winter. The German forest folk had their festivals of joy and laughter, when the Easter sun broke the fetters of the cold. Not for them could be a religion that had no resurrection hope. It is because the story of Jesus did not end at Calvary, that it has attracted pagans. It is because Jesus rose triumphant over death, that the hope of life eternal rekindles in the human heart, and steadies the faith that sometimes staggers in the gloom of experience. The Christian gospel found its way to the heart of the Italian, and he kindled his fires in honor of the living Christ instead of to the distant sun. It entered the heart of the children of the North, and took the name of the German festival for its own. When the season of resurrection came to the earth, there would be the reminder that personality can no more perish than the life that it husbanded in seed and root can fail to spring into bloom when the vernal sun calls it to the light. We must not lose the significance of the Easter festival. It marks the triumph of life over death. These are the two great mysteries that baffle our profoundest thought; but we cannot escape them. They enter into the experience of every human being. Always death soon comes home in every eve. Personal affection touches every heart, he gives home to home in every eve. Class strife and national conflicts he gives home to home in every eve. Class strife and national conflicts he gives home to home in every eve. Civilization has reeled under the blows after century, as it reeling now. But as often as comes the Easter dawn, there comes a renewal of hope and a regridding of the heart for better days ahead. President Harding Appoints Howard University Trustee Washington, D. C., March 21. President Warren G. Harding has just appointed two new commissioners of the District of Columbia, namely, Hon. Cuno H. Rudolph, president of the Second National bank, Washington D. C., and Captain James F. Oyster. Both have served as commissioners before.

French Legislators Fight Paris, March 15.—Two Negroes who happened to be members of the French parliament entertained the crowds on their way to the chamber this afternoon with a brisk fist fight.

AGAINST LYNCHING Now that we have saved the world for democracy, it would be appropriate to save the United States from the reproach of lynching, an evil which is often cited abroad as a standing denial of the sincerity of our professions in behalf of humanity and justice. A distinguished clergyman from Georgia, Bishop Chandler, recently published an article in which he argued that lynching, however reprehensible, was no worse, as a public evil than the "crime wave" of the great cities. Fast upon the heels of this publication comes an outbreak at Athens, Ga., the seat of the Georgia state university, which demonstrates how much worse is public than private crime. A mob took a Negro accused of shooting and killing a white woman—a man it fair to say who had a record as a jury criminal—from what has been called a "mob proof" jail, entry being forced with acetylene torches. Seven thousand people witnessed the burning of the accused man, who protested his innocence before the fire was lighted. After he had been roasted for ten minutes, the blaze was put out and the Negro was again asked to confess. He still protested his innocence, and kept up his protestations until they could no longer be heard. Judge Andrew J. Cobb, one of the leading jurists of Georgia, in a public statement denouncing the lynching declares that the evidence against the Negro was purely circumstantial, and that he was "in all probability innocent." It is an encouraging act that the Aethens minister association has lynched, and the lynching, Governor Dorsey, a fearless foe of the lynch-law, has offered a reward for the apprehension of the leaders of the mob, the county commission- Many colored people are buying our choice land.

A-3" ars have done the same, and Chancellor Barrow, of the University of Georgia has bitterly condemned the action of the mob in an address before the students of the State University. The thing most to be deplored in this incident, as in others like it is not so much the punishment inflicted upon the accused man, even if he were innocent, or the violation of law and justice, however serious, but for the fact that seven thousand people in an American municipality could be coasting of a human being, without protest but with apparent enjoyment. This was miscellaneous crowd of women, men and children who walked or rode several miles o the scene of the human barbecue. The Georgia newspapers relate how the highways were crowded with the automobiles of people hastening to the festal event, and indicate that a pleasant time was had by all. The brutalizing effect of such a spectacle cannot be measured. The only legislation likely to prove effective in discouraging lynching is that which will penalize officials and local governments for failing to give every citizen accused of crime that trial by due process of law prescribed in the Fifth and Sixth amendments to the national constitution. Unless some steps are taken to enforce these amendments by appropriate legislation the crime of lynching will become much more general and widespread during the next few years. It is form of barbarism which grows on what it feeds on; even on the accounts in the newspapers. It is not a sectional question nor a ransom question, although, because of its difficult nature, it is similar to the south, it is more aggravating there than elsewhere. Because the reproach of lynching falls upon the nation, because of the national constitution undertakes to guarantee trial by justice to every citizen, the question is a national one—National Republican, March 19.

THE BYSTANDER, DES MOINES, IOWA The Way It A Robert Robert Durr Everyone is asking what about Mercers Garvey and his scheme to take all Negroes back to Africa, there is something humorous about his ideas yet, they command serious thought. We lift our hats, yell and cheer when we see the Stars and stripes and hear the national Anthem. Since the war many who said let's make this country safe for democracy are doing all in their power by word and action to convince us that the 2005 to 2010 st. lunno AM, spoon Land of Liberty are meaningless stupid remarks to the black millions. It not only that the white race is doing their best to forever hold that position! Is not such arrogating a curse! Mr. Garvey states, "In Africa it takes the form of suppression of the right of the African to enjoy the fruits. While in America it takes lynching, disfranchisement and a thousand other insults born of arrogance and prejudice." Suppose we ask ourselves, Is it possible for the Negro to man his own destiny! Are we not numerically, physically, mentally strong enough to become a great nation! Mr. Garvey's assertion that no other nation numerically as strong as we are has remained so long in tutelage of other nations is undoubtedly authentic. Every Negro should stand for something worthwhile if he can't do it in America, Africa is to be considered, Mr. Garvey pleads that we send mechanics, scientists and artisans to Africa to build railroads, great educational institutions and when they are complete "who-so-ever-will-let-him-come - home." There is a vast wealth of logic in those statements. THE WORLD'S FINEST HAIR send $1.00 and we will send you a full supply that you can begin with. Send all money by money order to: www.moneyorder.com appears To Me Durr There has been great wars and there are other wars to come and as to whether next one will make the white and black man brother or objects of agitation to each other we can't say—but, if the latter should be the case Mr. Garvey's plan would be valuable. It is true that heaven helps those who help themselves. Any man who has no hope, no grids and self-respect, no confidence in himself or his race is not worthy to be associated with by any one and should have his freedom taken away from him. Surely we have been slaves and goodies long enough. Why not get in line, stand up like men and change things in the best way—hasn't our form of neutrality ceased to be a virtue? If Mr. Garvey was an American, French, Russian or of any other nationality crying, "Don't erine, beg, plead, we must strike from the shoulder for manhood rights and for equal liberty—the freedom that all great nations have fought and died for the members of that race would stand like a mighty wall and cry aloud "Give us liberty or give us death and do it now." One thing that is complimentary about this scheme is that he has thousands of followers—pulling together, this is a new thing—it's a great thing—it's mighty big and it will bring about something or nothing. Dr. Moton, Du Bois, Simmons and scores of others have different solutions to the race conditions. It would be wonderful if they all would consolidate on some one idea we would get somewhere. Garvey's idea of unity, independence is scarcely to be paralleled.

Geo. W. Robinson D. D. Whispers of Bursting Life. We must not lose the symbolism of Easter, whether Easter eggs remind us of the potency of life that they contain, or Easter music whispers of the bursting life of nature, or Easter baptism typifies the resurrection of our Lord, the custum of the church, and one that is usually appropriate on Easter, to observe the ordinance of baptism on that day. It is the symbolism of immersion that makes the form so important to Baptists. To rise from the watery grave is prophetic, as Easter is, of the resurrection that shall be. While we have no reason to restrict baptism to Easter Sunday, there is a peculiar fitness in observing it on that day. Will Men Quarrel at His Grave? It would seem as if nothing should be permitted to mar the observance of Easter, yet early in Christian history a dispute arose among the churches as to the proper date of Easter Jewish prejudice clashed with Gentile preference, and one more quarrel was added to the hateful controversies that have stained the history of the religion of the Prince of Peace. Strange it is that human passions have made forms that your faith and hope and doctrine of the nature of our Savior, the meaning of the atonement, the observance of the day of hope, these have stirred the ire and aroused the bitterness of those who call themselves Christians. So through centuries a bitter quarrel went on over the date of Easter. It is not helpful to recite it. It is better to journey here and there, and see how Easter has been observed. In the holy city of Russia it was long the custom at midnight on Easter eve for the populace to gather in the great square, and amid a blaze of light and pealing bells, to bow in worship and to rise with an Easter greeting on their lips. In the Tyroli mountains bands of musicians wound through the valleys and the people sang their Easter hymns as the musicians thummed their guitars. In America the Moravians have a beautiful way heralding the Easter dawn, while it will still rock a treasure to the town of Bethlehem playing on the instruments and singing carols to arouse the people who rise and throng the church and cemetery for the morning watch. Joyfully they join in the services that greet the day, and the cheer of those hours remains for days as a benison of hope and peace. The custom of observing Easter has been general throughout Christendom, Roman and Eastern Catholics have celebrated it with great pomp and display. Popes issued decrees directing the detailed manner of the fasting that preceded and the rejoicing that accompanied it. Pagan customs were adapted so that they should fit into the general celebration. All secular work was laid aside. Sometimes in their abandon the day of the fasting was the naval of delights, but the church took care to see that the day did not lose its Christian significance. Among the protestants Easter has been observed with increasing regard in recent years. In their reaction from Catholicism the Puritans did not observe the festivals of the church year, and American churches that inherited Puritan thought and ways were slow to alter their customs. But by degrees Christian thought has come to center more and more on the Christian church to the pre-Easter weeks. We are reserving our baptisms for Easter day. We are making more of Easter music and Easter joy. This is as it should be. To make Easter the focal point of the Christian year is the stress of our Christian hope and to strengthen our Christian faith. For a life that shall not perish is our goal. Easter is the festival of that life, and Easter is the festival of that life. BASTER IN THE CHURCHES, Preparations are eBing Made for Special The stage is being cleared for Easter services by the churches in Des Moines and those in charge of the religious institutions are working to get their programs rounded into shape for the day. The stage will be presented in the various churches and the Sunday schools will be called upon to do their part in the exercises. Palm Sunday is Observed. Fitting services for the observance of Palm Sunday, the sixth Sunday in Lent and the first day of holy week commemorating the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem were held in most of the churches. In many of the churches large classes of those who were seeking admittance to the churches were given the preliminary work preparatory to full admittance into membership at the Easter day services Sunday. WITH OUR CHURCHES UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES Tenth and Park streets, Rev B. F. B. White, pastor. The splendid weather of the past Sunday was inductive of a full attendance at both morning worship and church school. The pastor filled his pulpit both morning and evening. In the morning he spoke on the life of the Apostle Peter, at evening his subject was, What it is. The pastor is preaching a series of sermons on Sunday evenings on the genera his subject of sin. The coming Sunday his Easter theme will be the "Cross or Immortality." At the evening his subject will be, "Sin, or Huwen Handicap." In the study of the lesson in the church school the interest and enthusiasm ran away high. There seems to be a hanging on the part of the people for knowledge of God's word. The school has recently adopted the graded system of lessons and will be fully organized to that end by April 1. In adopting this system the school is taking its place among the most progressive and up-to-date church schools of the country. The school will give its special Easter program Sunday at 12:30 p.m. A splendid program is being prepared. Parents come and hear your children. The Christian Endeavor society has in store a great surprise for those who may be fortunate enough to secure a ticket for an April dinner dinner April 1st, and may it not be stated here that the surprise will be one of much pleasure.

This church closed a successful revival of Sunday evening. The hand of fellowship has been extended to thirteen and there are others waiting as some were ill last Sunday and could not be baptized. On last Thursday night we had with us the Rev. G. E. Green of Shiloh and some of his members. The Rev. Green preached a short sermon that was greatly enjoyed by all, Dr. Robinson of the Corinthian Baptist church was also present and gave us a short talk which was also enjoyed. On Friday night the closing sermon for the week was preached by the Rev. T. L. Griffith, D. D., pastor of the Union Baptist church. He also was accompanied by a large crowd of his members. We don't need to tell you what happened as Dr. Griffith was at his best. Our baptising last Sunday took place at the Maple street Baptist church. It was well attended. We wish to thank the pastor and his officers for the part which they took in the service. ST. PAUL A. M. E.

The ennul of a rich man is synonymous with the laziness of the poor man. There is no effect without a cause—except when a woman changes her mind. A man is presumed to be guilty by his neighbors until he is proved innocent. The man who never looks up is a rank failure when it comes to lifting up. Unless a man has plenty of money and a wife who can cook, eating is a nuisance. Some people seem to have no use for anything common—not even common sense. Charitable persons speak one to another; uncharitable persons speak one of another. Nothing squeezes the water out of a man's possessions like a visit from the assessor. There isn't much hope for a man so deaf he is unable to hear the noise of a paper dollar.

Steam is the perspiration from hot water. A forced kindness deserves no thanks. High water never raises the price of milk. A kiss is an explosion of condensed emotion. If you are in a hurry avoid the train of thought. Fancy penmanship never made a man wealthy. If you go into a labyrinth take a clew with you. Next to the kindly act is the appreciation thereof. Some men take to religion as a political afterthought. Girls like compliments—also ice cream and oysters. Whatsoever a man reaps some man must have planted. The best antidote for sorrow is steady employment. When money talks the cream of the conversation is rich. It is a long lane that has no turning.—Dutch Proverb. It is sometimes easier to meet a bill than it is to dodge it. Don't growl at what you can't help or what you can help. The man who is the first to argue is usually the last to act. A warning paragraph often saves a chapter of explanation. A little leaven leaventh the whole lump.—New Testament. The business of a dog dealer is apt to be a howling success. Plain, unvarnished truth is better than questionable rhetoric. He's a brave man who dies to stop a woman's runaway tongue. Bent pins and carpet tacks come under the head of felt goods. The world deals good-naturedly with the good-natured person. True love and ghosts are often talked about but seldom seen. When the money of some people converses it uses a megaphone. It is easy to see through people who make spectacles of themselves. The telephone enables some men to lie without becoming confused. Lack of credit prevents some people from living beyond their means. Sometimes it's the cashier that gets the best of the run on the bank.

EASTER GREETING FROM US TO YOU "TIS Easter dawn," the lilies say, "And Christ, our Lord, is risen to-day. Let every heart be glad." But in God's acre far away, He lies, who once was blithe and gay; My heart with dole is sad. "What means the Easter dawn to me!" I asked in gray despondency; "My life is drenched and dead." The lilies quivered as in pain. "The one you love will live again, And ever live," they said. "Since Jesus lives, we cannot die, For us He came on earth to buy A life eternal. There, Within a mansion safe, they too Now live, the dearest ones we knew, Secure from pain and care." "O lilies, teach my heart to sing This anthem of your risen King, That I may learn to live." Their fragrant censers looked at me In love, and whispered tenderly: "Yourself more freely give." Facts From Jerusalem Easter, the Great Festival of the Orient, is Interest- ingly Celebrated The name of Jerusalem is repeated on Easter day by millions and millions of followers of the Christian religion as well as the Jewish. If one stops to think how many times the word Jerusalem has been repeated during the 2,000 years that have passed since the appearance of the Nazarene on the platform of the world history, one must admit that there is no city in the world real with Jerusalem in fame. The name of Jerusalem has become a familiar and sweet name to many a nation and many an individual. IN RECENT reports it was mentioned that Jerusalem has been covered by a white carpet of snow 29 inches deep, and that due to the excessive snow load one of the old olive trees in Gethsemane gave way and fall. The fall of this tree has again monotonous. Jerusalem will be delivered from the hands of the Turk when one of these trees should fall. The Easter season is by far the busiest and most interesting one of Jerusalem. The setting in of spring makes it possible as well as pleasant for tourists and visitors from all parts of the globe to gather in the Holy city and see with their eyes the place whose name is world famous and on which scenes occurred that tended to bring about decisive turning points in the history of the human race. ONE of these places is the Garden of Gethsemane. As the Hebrew name indicates, Gethsemane was an olive garden, with an "oil press" on its grounds. The present garden is situated on the western slopes of the Mount of Olives, a little distance up from the Garden of Gethsemane, much reduced in size, it still contains some of the old olive trees that stood there when the Gileilian spent the night with his eleven followers before he was betrayed. The place has been turned into a beautiful flower garden and from here cards are sent to all parts of the world with flowers from Gethamene glued on them. On Green Thursday before Easter the vast number of visitors walk down the slopes of Mt. Mira, on which the temple stands, cross the Kidron valley near Sittit Miram, the tomb of St. Mary, and enter the garden after ascending a distance up the Mount of Olives. For lack of space to accommodate the visitors, they are allowed to remain a short time on the place, during which they can sing a hymn or read passage from the New Testament and the make room for newcomers. Hymns characteristic of all Christian nations are sung in almost every civilized tongue in the quietude of the garden. BUT the most attended festival is the celebration of the Holy Light. The celebration is world famous and yearly attracts visitors from all parts of the world. At one o'clock in the afternoon of the Saturday before Easter, the light is given out from the front chamber of the tomb by the Greek Orthodox Patriarch and is passed on the floor by the only waiting youth of Jerusalem. Every individual who carries a candle lights it from the light next to him and in a marvelously short time the light is passed on through the different parts of the interior of the church, out into the yard, up to the visitors on the flat roofs of the church, through the city and out into the churches of the whole country. BEFORE the war the Turkish military force used to police the occasion to prevent any disorder, but mostly to show that Islam is dominating even on the very sacred grounds of Christianity. But since the entrance of the victorious General Alenby, the policing was done by Tommies or Australians, who were participants in the celebration and whose presence was deemed essential only for preventing molestation by pick-pockets. Gordon, an English archeologist, discovered a hill outside the Damascus gate which has the shape of a skull with holes arranged as so to form two eyes, a nose and a mouth. At the foot of the hill is a garden, and on one side of the garden is a tomb hewn into the rock. The tomb corresponds to the description of the tomb mentioned in the New Testament. THE Easter Sunday is celebrated at daybreak in the Holy Sepulchre with a very impressive service. Yet the main celebration is in the streets of the city and the homes of the people. The children enjoy the game of trying to see how many eggs they can break by the ones they have, holding them in a vertical position. The broken egg becomes the property of the winner. Easter is the great festival of the Orient. On this occasion people have parties to which they invite friends. Greetings and good wishes are changed with cheer in writing. The best Syrian candy and sweets, as well as the best dishes, are found on the Easter meal table in Syrian homes. The Jaffa gate, which was made famous by the entry of General Allenby to Jerusalem, is the most important gate of the city. Alongside of the gate is the entrance, which was made by tearing down a piece of the ancient wall to form a suitable entrance for Wilhelm Hohenzollern in 1898. In Berlin, the gate is the Kaal kall or the Gate of the Friend, three principal streets meet, namely, the Jaffa street, David street and the road to Botheleham. THE place in front of Bal el Kall is the busiest section of the whole city. An observer of the life during Easter time sees a mixed human stream passing in and out through the Gate of the Friend." This continuous landscape is made up of representatives of all nationalities, tongues and creeds. Bal el Kall is the center of traffic of the city. Here the vehicles stand in line ready to convey the natives, as well as the tourists, through the city and through the country. Camel caravans in their characteristic slow pace share the pavement with the modern motor-driven cars. A scene at the Jaffa gate during the Easter season has no equal in any cosmopolitan city in any part of the world, and impresses upon us the importance of the city and the face with which it owes to the occurrences of the Easter season 2,000 years ago. CALVARY was a hill on which criminals were crucified. The crucifixion was an old Eastern habit. The historical hill of Calvary, on which the three crosses of that Good Friday stood, has disappeared. On its site the Church of the Holy Sepulchre has been built by Helena, the wife of Emperor Constantine of the Byzantine empire, in the Fourth century after the fall of this place the celebration of the foot washing and the Holy Light takes place. The foot washing is celebrated on Greek Thursday in the court of the church by the followers of the Greek Orthodox faith, reproducing the foot washing that took place in the room of Zion 2,000 years ago. THE BYSTANDER, DES MOINES, IOWA NG FRO With the Joy ROM U Joyous East With the Joyous Easter Message UNDER WOOD UNDER WOOD Why All Mankind Hails the Morn of the Resurrection Easter morning—the most joyous of all the mornings of the year, the one great day of gladness, supreme above all others on the calendar, the Morn of the Resurrection. And why is this the gladdest day of the year? It is the gladdest of all days because it typifies the hope that beyond the grave there is another life than this. It speaks the promise that we shall rise again from the dust of death, that we shall be reunited with those whom we have loved and lost, that we shall open our eyes in another world where there is no parting again, no sorrow, no loss. Compare this hope with all other hopes that man can have, and they sink into insignificance. If the sons of men believed that this life were the only life they could ever know, if they believed that the grave is the end and that when they were laid away with the dust from which they came there would be no awakening, not only would the dearest hope they could possibly have be taken then from them, but the world would then become a place unfit for habitation. Without the hope of resurrection from the grave man would surely sink at once to the low level of the beast. But that this is not his belief, and that man has, instead, a firm and a full hope to live again, is what makes Easter the one great joyous day of all days. Easter eggs, prayed earnestly and fervently. On the night before Easter they made a nest for the eggs they so confidently believed the morning would bring. When they awoke the next morning they ran to the nest, and nest, sure enough, lay three lovely eggs, and sitting back of them, very proud of himself, was a big white rabbit, the very rabbit that had laid the eggs. But the Easter rabbit is far, far older than this tale, and the myths about the rabbit, many of them associating the rabbit in one way or another with eggs, are centuries older than the Easter festival. The Moon festival in China comes in the springtime and corresponds with Easter. It's a great holiday. Nobody works. Everybody puts on his best and goes out for a general jollification. The childlike enthusiasm on what is our Easter, which, as old-fashioned people will tell you, comes "on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 22nd of March." It is on this night that "the rabbit in the moon" is best seen. The Chi- in the moon --- The Rabbit and the Easter Egg How did the rabbit get into the nest of Easter eggs? Of all the curious legends the centuries have gathered about the Easter season none are more widely circulated than those having to do with the rabbit and the Easter eggs. Easter eggs are seen all over the Christian world on Easter Sunday, and wherever the eggs are there is the rabbit also. Just where and how such a total abstainer from eggs, such a clearly non-producer of eggs as a rabbit, got mixed up in a nest of them the biographers of neither the hen nor the rabbit are able to say. But there he is, and there he persists in staying, however inconsequent, irrelevant and imprecise, and presence may be. mala Myths of the Easter egg are more easily accounted for. The Ancient Egyptians, Persians, Gauls, Greeks and Romans saw in the egg an emblem of immor tality. In it life lay dormant. An insensate thing, a mere object, it had the power to become a living being. To the early Christians the egg symbolized the resurrection. Because of this, and also because eggs were looked upon as meat, Roman Catholics of Italy, Spain and France were formerly forbidden to eat eggs during Lent. After the fasting was over, eggs were the first meat to be eaten. Every Easter table held eggs dred red, to represent the blood of Christ, and piled in pyramids at various points of vantage along the table. Before the eggs were broken they were blessed by the priest. A special blessing for the Easter egg was given out by Pope Paul V, who is in the papal chair from 1605 to 1621. The blessing, which is still used by many Roman Catholics, is: "Bless, O Lord, we beseech thee, the gift of eggs, that it may become a wholesome sustenance of thy faithful servants, eating it in thankfulness to thee on the morde of the resurrection of our Lord." Greek Catholics believe that eggs laid on Good Friday have within them their own blessing, and that he who eats them as his first food on Easter Sunday will be blessed throughout the day, too, hold that the egg is symbolically the fruit of the earth. But all of these eggs are the fruit of the hen, she that cackles over her cackles over her product, when every child believes that the teacher is responsible for the Easter eggs. BABY RABBIT Germany for a long time claimed that she was the mother of the Easter rabbit. She said that it happened, one time, that the children of a very poor peasant had been told that they could have no eggs at Easter time because their parents had no home and were too poor to buy a hen. The children grieved over this at first, and then decided that they would stop grieving and pray. They prayed for nese, in their Moon festival, pay homage to this rabbit. Their ancient religion, Teoism, taught them that this rabbit was the slave of genii who kept him everlastingly busy pounding herbs and drugs to make them more useful. In a cassia tree to do the pounding, and if you will look at the moon any Easter Sunday evening when the sky is clear there you'll be Brer Rabbit pounding a way. And when you see it, you will see a mixture of Taostt belief, East African mythology, southern n e gro folklore and early Christian legend EASTER The Japanese have a legend, doubtless passed over to them from India, that the gospel of the resurrection was first sent to the earth by the moon god, who used a rabbit and an angel. The message given to the rabbit was this: "Like as I die and rise to life again, so shall you die and rise to life again." The rabbit, however, thinking it would be a good joke on the people of the earth, reversed this gospel: What he said to the people was: "Like as I die, and live no more, so shall ye all die and be no more alive." The people took this gospel very sorrowfully, which amused the rabbit, and he went back to the moon god and boasted of what he had done. The god was so infuriated with his messenger that he drew him and split his lip wide open, and that, if you would like to know, is why the rabbit's lip is slit. In certain parts of England, particularly at Hallaton, there was an old custom of celebrating Easter Monday with a "hare plee scramble" and "bottle kicking." This celebration began with a procession leading to the house of the rector of the parish and consisting of two men abreast, carrying sacks with cut-up ples inside; three men abreast, two carrying wooden bottles filled with beer, and the third a large dummy bottle that was to be kicked about; one man, carrying a pole on which was fastened a hare in a sitting posture, and, last of all, a band of music. The band was followed by all the people of the parish who could walk. The dummy bottle was kicked into the neighboring parish, where it was burned, or "drowned," after which bits of it were taken home as trophies by the people. A The custom fell into disuse about 1767. But other customs in which the hare figured were continued to a much later time, one having to hunt and hunting of a hare on Good Friday, to be eaten on Easter day, the alternative being that "he who does not eat a hare must eat a red herring." At least one mythologist has tried to account for the Easter rabbit in England by making him the creature of the Anglican goddess Eostre, whose name, *Angelic goddess Bede*, was given to the month of April, who was called Estermonach. Grimm calls this goddess Ostara, "divinity of the radiant dawn, of upspring light." ```markdown ``` HEROISM SHOWN BY AMERICAN WORKERS OF NEAR EAST RELIEF Cables Reveal Appalling Armenian Need—Hundreds of Thousands Starving. By CHARLES V. VICKREY General Secretary, Near East Relief Approximately 500 American men and women are standing loyalty and heirarchy at their posts In Armens, Turkey and the Near East. Many of them during the long winter of isolation are undergoing what we in America call "hardship." But these, our fellow citizens in the Near East. Approximately 500 American men and women are standing loyally and herolaically at their posts in Armenia, Turkey and the Near East. Many of them during the time of isolation are going what we America call "hardship." But these our fellow citizens in the Near East are volunteers serving with a high purpose, and they do not recognize hardship when they meet it. They have had their opportunity to withdraw with honor from the field of famine and desolation. They have refused to leave, because they know that their departure would mean death for tens of thousands of women and children whom their efforts have kept alive and whom they are determined to save for a better future. A dozen cables are on my desk from various centers in Armenia, Anatolia, Cilicia and Syria pleading pleasously for the lives of hundreds of thousands who are homeless: "Sixty-five thousand refugees Constantinople alone," "Refugees flicking into Aleppo," "Twenty thousand refugees at Ismid," "One hundred thousand people at Alexandropol will starve unless relief is provided," "Refugees arriving from Caucasus, escaping persecution, naked, destitute! Urgent need to save most of them from death," "Two hundred thousand starving between Kars and Alexandropol! Severe winter adding to distress," "The towers the mute appeal of the more than 100,000 little children, orphaned, homeless, whom these American relief workers have saved and whom we here at home must sustain not only through the winter and spring, but through the summer and autumn as well. If we do not provide, they perish! And with them dies the hope of a New Near East. The Easter season is here—the season that commemorates the Great Sacrifice for mankind. America is known as a Christian nation. She is also the wealthiest nation that history has ever known. We really enjoy our wealth and claim the name of Christian if we turn a dear ear to the appeal which General Leonard Wood, in behalf of the Near East Relief, has sent forth broadcast for a Lenten Sacrifice Offering to save these little children in Bible Lands?
