TWO GREAT REASONS FOR
REJOICING AT EASTER
While the earth remaineth,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Summer and winter,
Day and night
Shall not cease.
The happy coincidence which
brings the spring of the year and
Easter day so close together makes
for a very joyous occasion. In
fact the word Easter is derived
from Eoster, who was the Goddess
of Light, or Spring, which makes
the association between the two
even closer.
But even Christmas does
not
carry the glad promise of Easter.
Socially, the season has come to
mean the resumption of more for-
mal and larger gatherings after
the comparative quiet of Lent.
And the children find in the leg-
ends of the Easter hare and the
enthusiastic pursuit of his color-
ed eggs, the same mystery that has
made Santa Claus live through
the ages. – Exchange.
