EASTERTIDE And Again the World Sings of Triumphs Past and Hopes ; Ahead . FoV untold centuries the world has celebrated, at this time of the year, its reawakening. The pulses of life beat faster, the earth stirs, new hopes -arise , in the human breast. Easter, Goddess of Spring, clad in green and white, holds sway across the world. Thousands of 'years ago the old mid-European tribes , laid aside their warfare to deck themselves with garlands and do homage to Ostara at great festivals. This month of April used to be known as Eastermoria, away back in Anglo-Saxon Anglo-Saxon times. Today, at Easter time, the world sings again, giving thanks for the, annual miracle mir-acle of the spring. It is a song of joy of triumphs past and triumphs yet to come. In the high peaks, nature draws her snow-skirt above her knees, shakes down her green petticoat and spreads a flower carpet. The rolling black of the tilled land changes to green and the silver rivers hurry, bank-full, toward the western sea. And every spring is just a little better than the last, as the 'slow processes of evolution build, bit by bit, a more perfect world. Every Easter is a clock-tick in the dawn of human progress, recording a' small step forward by humanity. Nature, this year, is nearer perfection than she was last year! She has discarded dis-carded a few more useless things, developed devel-oped her world a little more. We, too, should be nearer our ideals than we were last spring. And as we check over our progress we should make plans for still 1 more of it before next Easter. ' ' In the dull days of winter, human management of the world sometimes seems a sad affair, almost an utter failure. fail-ure. In spring, we realize that, at least, we are learning,' We recognize our faults and remember that each year brings a HEBERC: HICKS TAKESK.Y.
