THE CASS COUNTY SUN
Egg Long Emblem
of the Resurrection
There are many legends concerning
the origin of the ICuster egg, nn<l os It
Is one of the few r malnlng customs
that nre still observed and which are
closely connected In our thought with
Easter, to truce Its beginnings Is In-
teresting.
The Romans celebrated games at the
time of our Easter, which were called
"egg games," when they ran races on
oval tracks and were given eggs as
prizes. Then sports were given In
honor of Castor und Pollux, the twins
who emerged from an egg deposited
by the swan Llda.
There is also an old Persian legend
concerning two brothers, one of whom
crented an egg which contained good
spirits and the other an egg which
held evil demons. These they broke to-
gether so that their contents became
mixed, and In this way good and evil
was brought Into the world. The Per-
sian of today presents colored eggs to
his friends on u certain festival lu
March in memory of the two brothers,
and we may huve borrowed our cus-
tom from this source.
There is ulso the story of the Ger-
man princess who received u huge
Iron egg from a prince. She cast it
from her in disdain, but In fulling lf
opened and disclosed a golden yolk in
a crystal. On opening the golden bull
Well Hatched.
she found a crown of rubles, and with-
in this lay a betrothal ring of dia-
monds. The prince evidently consid-
ered the egg to be a worthy treasure
house conta'utng the most precious
emblem he knew.
The eurly Christians considered the
egg the emblem of the resurrection.
Why the egg should be so closely Iden-
tified with Kaster is puzzling, unless
one stops to think of the wonder
which the mysterious development of
life In an egg contains, and one may
easily imagine that this can be made
symbolic of the revival of nuture ami
the new Impulse of life.

Happy hearts once more are singing
With the Joy of Kaster morn.

Welcome Easter Message
More people go to church on Kaster
Sunday than upon any other day In the
year, because the message is a funda-
mental one, and whatever else Chris-
tians may be charged with, the truih
Is the mass of the Christian people
really believe In the fundamentals of
their religion. Perhaps, If they heard
more sermons on the resurrected
Christ, more pews Would be filled than
ure. Jesus said, "If I be lifted up, 1
will draw all men to Me," and those
churches In which a real living Christ
Is preached do not lack attendants.
oooooooc:
PASTER marks the most impor.
■L' tant milestone in man's upward
progrew. It signifies the resuscita-
tion of nature and the perpetuation
of the spirit of man. It opens to
man a ne«r heaven, and it promises
to make for him a new earth. The
day appeals to the pietist and the
naturalist, the scientist and the man
who lives in the realm of the spirit.
It rests upon the material universe,
and it elevates man toward God.
Feast of Pu~ification in An-
cient Rome.
In the calendar of ancient Rome
February 15 stood for the feast of
purification, when worshipers of the
pagan gods indulged In rites and cere
monies of expiation. The pagan ob-
servance, although brief in durutlon,
was in some of Its aspects similar in
purpose to the modern Christian Len-
ten season.
The Roman Febrna was the most re-
markable of the feasts of the ancient
R6mans. The love of the present-day
Italian for frequent religious observa-
tions, sulnts' days and festivals may
be a heritage from those distant an-
cestors who worshiped the Innumer-
able deities of their polytheistic faith.
These rites and feasts were, says Gib-
bon, the Detroit News recalls, "closety
Interwoven with evtry circumstance of
business and pleasure, of public or of
private life, und It seemed Impossible
to escape the observance of them with-
out at the same time renouncing the
commerce of mankind and all the of-
iices of amusement and society."
To avoid participation In these vari-
ous festivities, without thereby Incur-
ring popular or official displeasure and
its accompanying punishment, was one
of the chief concerns of the early
Christians of Rome. There came a
time, however, when the shoe was on
the other foot, and the triumphant
Christians attached severe penultles to
the observance of the old feasts. The
festival of purification became the
Christian Lenten season, the spring
celebration of the pagans became the
Kaster of the Christians, and the De-
cember Saturnalia was superseded by
Christmas.

The storm-tossed disciples on the
sen at night are an example of the
struggling, followers of the Lord in the
darkness of the present age, as they
ore tossed by the tempests of the evil
one.
I. The Disciples on the Storm-
Tossed Sea (vv. 22-24).
1. They are sent across the sea by
Christ (v. 22).
"Jesus constrained Ills disciples to
get into a ship." Doubtless Ills rea-
son for this was to keep them from
entanglement In the movement of the
people to make Him Kl-ng, for in John
6:14, 15, It is shown that the people
ware so excited by the feeding of the
5,000 thnt they were about to make
Uim King by force.
2. Christ dismisses the multitudes
(v. 22).
This may be taken as typical of His
rejection by the nation whose rulers
had already rejected Him.
3. Christ praying alone in the moun-
tain (v. 23).
Temptation to earthly honor and
power had come to Him. therefore He
went to the Father In prayer for re-
lief and strength. The need of prayer
Is greatest at such times. According
to Mark 0:48 He saw from the moun-
tain the disciples toiling on the storm-
tossed sea.
II. Jesus Walking on the Sea (vr.
25-27).
1. It was In the fourth watch of the
night (v. 25).
He did not come to them Immediate-
ly, but waited till almost dawn. How-
ever, It was the darkest part of the
night. Their physical danger was
great, but no doubt their mental per-
plexity was greater. They knew that
the Lord had sent them, but why
should they lie in such stral's if He
sent them? The stormy sea is no evi-
dence that the disciple is not in the
Lord's appointed way.
2. The disciples alarmed at Ills com-
ing (v. 20).
At the sight of Him they cried out
for four. They said: "It Is a spirit."
It was the coming of their best friend
to deliver them from danger.
3. Jesus' words of comfort and good
cheer (v. 27).
In the midst of their distress they
heard the Master's words, "Re of
good cheer, it is I, be not afraid."
This changed their fear to Joy.
III. Peter Walking on the Sea (vv,
28, 20).
1. Peter's request.
As soon as Peter recognized the
voice of Jesus he cried: "Bid me coino
to thee on the water" (v. 28).
2. Jesus' response (v. 29).
At the Lord's "come," Peter left the
ship and walked on the water. While
bo kept his eyes on the Lord he walked
on the waves. Ills faith linked him
with the divine power nnd was thus
upheld. Vital faith In Jesus Christ will
enable the disciple to outride the
storms of life.
IV. Peter Sinking (v. 30).
He took his eyes off the Lord and
placed them upon the raging sea. This
separated him from the divine power.
We should learn to fix our eyes upon
the Lord Instead of upon our circum-
stances. Failure will surely follow If
we give consideration to our circum-
stances und our own ubility to master
them.
V. Christ Rescuing Peter (v. 81).
When Peter began to sink he did the
sensible thing. He cried out: "Lord,
save me." Immediately Jesus stretched
forth Ills hand and caught him. His
sulvation from death at the bbttom of
the sea was the result of the Lord tak-
ing hold of him. Jesus Christ in the
Incarnation was the divine hand reach-
ing forth to rescue a sinking world.
The significance of the expression
"caught him" is made clear In Hebrews
2:10. It is there declared tlmt Jesus
took not upon Himself the nature
of angels but took upon Himself
the' seed of Abruham. The same
Greek word occurs in verse 31 of this
lesson. We should understand from
this that the eternnl Son of God did
not come in the form of a man In or-
der to show man the way to Qod, but
Identified Himself with man through
Incorporation with Him. He came, not
aa an example, but as a Savior.

[Y sisters, my sister-in-law and myself all have
families, and for years we have all given our
children Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. We have recom-
mended it hundreds of times and think it just wonderful, not only
to bring up children but for ourselves. At the slightest sign of
stomach trouble, colds, constipation and when out of sorts, a dose
or two is all they need. Truly, it is a family medicine and the
Stitch in time that saves nine." (Name and addr«« sent on request)
Constipation, Colds, Coughs,
Fevers and Other Perils of Childhood
One dose and mother's anxiety is lifted. The sickest
stomach craves the taste of Syrup Pepsin. From
infancy to old age the result is certain. Droopy, list-
less, feverish children respond as if to magic. Head-
ache, stomachache, biliousness, coated tongue, con-
stipation—these are the daily perils for which a host
of mothers say Dr. Caldwell's Svrup Pepsin is the safe-
guard. Sold and recommended by all druggists.
