To tbe student of th world's history
than la gnat Interest and food for re
flection la lha facta eoaoernlng the or
jtn of tbe retlglous observance of Easter.
Strange though It nay aeem. uls popular
chnrrh festival data back to a heathen
custom. Oar twentieth century celebre

Saxon language thla festival tanned
-Eautre and tka nam waa applied to
a celebration welch tbe Saxons of old
vara wont to observe about tha aanw ea-
on at which tka Chrhrtlaa festival of
Easter takes alar.
Tha goddess Ostara seems to ban been
regarded as tha personification of tha
BMrolng. or af the out. and alao of tha
eeeninS yaar, or tha beginning of wring.
Apropos of this baa then representative of
tha east, it la to ka noted that from very
tax It times tha cast has been bald In
certain dlstlactlan abm tha other points
at tha caiapaaa and enveloped with
sort af aaand kale, tha ancient wor
shipers of tha sun used to place their
altars la tho eastern part of their tent'
plea faclnf tha rising orb of day. That
tha rait bad a certain sacred character
Is crtdaneed In tha Scripture, which con
tain several noteworthy reference: "The
(lory of the Qod of Israel cams from the
way of tb east," (Kxeklel alill. 2);
"Tber cam wis men from the east to
Jerusalem," (Matthew II. 1): -And. to.
tha star, which they saw In the east,
went before them." (Matthew II, ). A
hit h retard for tho out was manifested
by tha early Christians, who perpetuated
(ha Mea banded down from their nneea-
tors. Looking toward the sun in the east,
In praying or repeating th creed, was
thought ta put worshipers In re mem
brant that Christ Is the sua of righteous
ness, and such was tb attllud In olden
time daring devotion a custom now ob
solete
Warship ( Oalara.
tt i e. metr h-rn rieemanv 1 tha
very early days that tha worship of Oa
lara, tha god Jam at tha east, waa brought
to our ancestor in Great Britain. It
Is wall known that tha Anglo-Saxon
name af April was Katarmonath, and la
OaraSany thla month Is Mill known as
Oetarmonath. Many of tha popular ob
servances af Easter, even to this day,
clearly Indicate Its heathen origin. The
heathen bonfires war perpetuated In the
paschal tapers with which tha enure hae
were, one lighted on Kastar eve. The
.brilliant Ulaml nation of tha church,
and part of soma of the cities In Russls
at Eatr are also reminders af tha early
heathen festival.
Easier, It la said. Is tha modern English
form for the Saxon word, "oater" or
"oaten," moaning "rlalng." The German
word la "astern." tha Hebrew-Greek form
Is "pascha," tha French "pequea," the
Scotch "peach." tha Dutch "pascbea."
tha Swedish "peak." and tha' Danish
"paajke." Tba common nama la the
tat waa tba "paschal feast," because
kept at tha asm time, as tha pasrhen,
or Jewish Passover, and In some measure
succeeding it In tb sixth of tho An
cyran caaont It Is called Th Oraat
Day.'
A ttent af Dlaewrd.
Th proper tlm tor th celebration
of Easter wsa the source of great dis
cord among tha early Christians. It ha
aptly been pointed out that though then
ha never been any difference of opinion
la th Christian church as to why Batter
Is kept, tber bss been a good deal of
disagreement as to when It ought to b
kept. Tba pasrhal controversy, wuico
for a tir- -i ta dora, grew
out of a dtvorarty af custom, th errors
of an Imn. .. ., ana ! yees
of amalgamation 01 a new order upon the
old. Th great mass of th sastarn
churches la Asia Mimr. among whom
were many Judaising Christiana, kept
Easter an the 14th of Nlsan, th Jewish ;
month corresponding to our March or )
April, considering It to be equivalent to
tha Jewish Passover. But th western
churches kept th feast oa th Sunday
following th fourteenth day. remember
ing that Christ's resurrection took pltc
on tb Sunday, and also desiring to mark
more clearly their disconnection with the
Jew.
The difference, borne at first with mu
tual forbearance and charity, assumed
regrettable bitterness and rancor during
tha third century. Tb cast was un
happily severed from tha west, and all
who, after tha manner of th Asiatics,
kept Easter day oa tha Mta. w tumor
that day were Sunday or not, were aty.d
"Tiartadclmana" by those wbo adopted
tha Komaa practice.
A primary source, of th dl variance waa
(ha Imperfection of th Jewish calendar.
Thla waa sa defective that H cam about
that th Jewish Christians often eel- j
bratad Baeter before tb vernal equinox, 1
a ctrcvmalanoa which waa strenuously I
objected to by th early Christian at th I
wast, wh regarded tb vernal equinox
a th commencement of tha natural year, j
They war opposed to a mod of reckon
ing which aught semotlmea caus them ta I
bold their paschal toast twlos la one I
year, and omit It altogether tha next. I
Sa strong waa this feeling that it eulnd- 1
nated In a drastie apoatolle decree which '
declared that, "If any bishop, priest or
oeseoa celebrated tb holy feast of Easter
befoe tba vernal equinox, aa tha Jews '
do, let him b deposed.''
Plslaa the Day.
' It was through th happy Initiative of
Emperor Constanttne. in the early part '
of th fourth century, that th uniformity
of Practice . waa Inaugurated which,
thMk md I 1 1 -. -i .
prevailed and obtain at tha present time.
Tba emperor so Influenced the great
ecumenical council of Nice of W A. D.
that a canon was passed which favored ,
tha practice of th western church by'
declaring that everywhere th great feast
ef Etr should be observed upon ana
and tba asm day, and that not th day
of th Jawtsh passover, bat the Sunday :
, after. Aa a result th raies were laid ,
oown wniea we find In tbe book of
coarmea prayer of the twentieth century.
"That March a snail b accounted the
vernal equinox. That th full moon
happening upoa or next after March n
shall be takes for tb full moon of Nleaa.

whether Easter should com in u to b
movable or a fixed Sunday. Deference
to ancient cost am. a said, led tka
ecclesiastical suthorttira ta adhere to the
method of datarmlaatlon by tba
It is aa latere ting fact and worthy of
remembrance that the data af Easter waa
fixed by what la known aa tha "calendar
mooa," which, tt appears, always follows
th real moon by rwo or three days.
The object In arranging a calendar mooa.
it is said, waa to prevemt tha occurrence
of Easter oa th asms day aa the Jewish
passover. Tba preeaaatlea. however, has
been a failure, far tha two festivals. 'It
transpires, have fallen oa tba same day
In IMa and IMS. Tha year lias was
marked by the earn untM coincidence,
both Easter and tba Jewish paseover oc
curring on tha name day. April IX This
unusual event vrll happen again la IDA
1K7 and MM. Many like to think that.
Instead of owing lis derirlatioa to the
heathen goddess "Bast re." th word
comes from tha Teutonic "oater." which
signifies "rising." If tha tatter su por
tion were correct, Easter would be la
name, as well aa la reality, tba hast of
th resurrect! oa.
Apawtl Paafa Areraaaeat.
Th a poet 1 Paul calla Christ "our
Peach. It waa ha wha '
spired words which are embalmed In
church liturgies and bellowed In the
hearts at man because at their baauty,
truth and power: "If ha thla Ufa only
w hsvo hop In Christ, w ar of all
mea most miserable. But new is Christ
risen from tha dead, and become tha
first fruits of them that slept. For sines
by man cam death, by maa
the resurrection of tha dead." The
blessed argument la that Christ's resur
rection is tho proof of tha fulfillment of
the promise of the resurrection of HI
faithful followers. Orthodox Christianity
hinges on the reality of that vent, which
is th real origin of tha sptrtt of tha
Kaater festival.
It Is psrbapa to be regretted that the
Inauguration of tha holy celebration of
Easter should have been connected with
a beathea festival; that from pagaa
sources cornea tha word whioh com
memorate th most blesseat fact In th
Christian faith. But It is wsll to remem
ber, aa has been appropriately pointe
out. that w must taks It aa It la found
and flU It with th noble, high and divine
meaning for which It now stands. The
names of tba days of tha wash and tha
months of tha year ar alao heathen In
origin and In their earlier aaaoclatlona;
but wa must aaeapt them, aa wa cannot
unwrita history and unmake language.
kaater la its modsra sense has ao taint
of heathen Idolatry. It means a living,
pulsating Christianity bora of tha life of
Uod, which la Illustrated In tha Ufa,

Why Docs a Name Mean So Much? Because
The mere MENTIONING of a name stands for GOOD principles or BAD principles. Some pianos, like some people, have
GOOD names, while some pianos, like some people, have BAD names.
We Are Offering These Prizes for a Name for a Player Piano. Why We Do It:
Our factory at Minneapolis b prepared to launch on the market a full size 88-note Player Piano. What we are after now Is
A NAME for this Player Piano that is expressive of quality, a name that Is easy to pronounce and that will mean something.
We are not folnr to depend upon our own ideas, but will leave the namine of our Player Piano to the people of this city and
community. Too many people nowadays are buying pianos and player pianos with actually "any otd name" on the fall-board
or'front of the Instrument, and simply because of that fact they do not know what they are gettinr. We are authorized by the
factories to spend a large part of our energy and advertising money to burn it In the minds of the people so strong that the
NAME of "OUR" Player Piano will become a by-word and a common household word with everybody in this community. Isn't
this rood judgment on our part? s . ' , , ' . .
WHAT does the piano-buymg public have to guide or direct them In the purchase of a piano or Player Piano? Only "A
NAME" In reality. Of course they have the piano dealers' guarantee back of It, but most people want more than that IF WE,
as tiano dealers, can teH YOU about our Piano: "Your next door neighbor has one," 'The people themselves named It," and
we have hundreds of them In this community, then we have "SAID SOMETHING" havent wef v
