"The Armenian, Coptic and Syrlac processions now form and circle the rotunda. But the climax of Interest has been reached. The visible symbol of resurrection, having been divided and passed on. no longer burns beside the 8epulcher. Slowly the crowds melt away, aome climbing past the Soviet schools. "In Its anti-Easte- r program, which It says will be carried ont not only among Christians, Jews and Moslems, but among all other religious faiths In the Soviet Union, tbe Society of Militant Athe-ists says: "By Intensifying tha struggle against religion, wa will hasten tha collectivization of peasant farms. By liquidating the kulak (rich peasant) as a class we will quicken tha fall at hla chief support, which Is religion. Wa will con-vert the state and collective farms Into great centers of atheism." Thus will Russia, under the Soviet government, not only turn from tha celebration of Easter, which nnder the old regime was a deeply Impres-sive religious ceremony, but It will challenge the faith of mora than one-thir- d of all the peoples of tha earth to whom the observance of this day Is ao essential part of their religious belief. For out of a total of 1,847,500,000 people In the world today who accept some form of religion, 682,400,-00- 0 are Christians and, althongh their observance of Easter may vary In form In different countries, the essential spirit of their celebrations of tbe day la the same, whether It be la the Orient or tha proceeding to the Orthodox altar and doing obei-sance. A Franciscan monk la present throughout the ceremony. "For days beforehand the church la Oiled with pilgrims. Many' sleep there. "The Turkish government, fearing, not without cause, that tbe excitement of these Easter crowds might result In an outbreak, waa accustomed to station a large body of troops In and around tbe church. Their place la. now taken by smaller bod-ies of police. It Is the administration's task to In- - ' sure order and reverence, and to assist the patri-arch In the service, protecting him, If necessary, from the fervor of blsj flock. "First the Armenian patriarch passes In procea-slo-n around tha rotunda and retires; then tha Moslem guardian of the Holy Sepulcher, In tha presence of one Orthodox and one Armenian archi-mandrite, exercises his traditional privilege of sealing the doors of the Sepulcher. He first closes them and places thereon a large piece of wax, which holds In place a white ribbon whose ends, after passing through' the two door handles, are held by the archimandrites. At noon the repfesentativen of tha other churches do obelsanc, before tha altar of tha Cathollcon, to the Orthodox patriarch, who awalta them vested In white and gold, with a crown of gold scintillating with enamel and precious stones Garden of Oethsemane to the summit of Mount Olivet" Almost aa Interesting aa the Easter celebration In Jerusalem Is that In another Old world city-Ro- me. Italy. There a cross Is erected in the cen-ter of the Colosseum, where so many Christian martyra Buffered death because of their faith, and Impressive services are held around tbla cross dur-ing Easter week, especially on Good Friday. Per-haps the most picturesque of these Is the proces-sion of penitence across Rome to the church of Santa Groce in Gerusalemme where relics of the Savior's passion are exhibited. Many members of the Roman nobility participate In the procession. All the marchers carry small candles of yellow wax and chant In chorus the canticle, "Long Live the Cross," before entering the church to give homage to the relics of tbe True Cross preserved there. In tbe United States the Idea el open air sunrise services on Easter morning have been gaining steadily during tbe recent years. It originated In California and the first service of this kind was held In 1009 on the summit of Mount Rubldoux, near Riverside, where stands a cross erected to the memory of Fra Junipero Serra. the pious Franciscan monk who first brought the cross to California and founded the missions In that state. Jacob RHs. the famous writer, is suld to have Occident One of the most Interesting of all the Easter celebrations to that which takes place In Jerusa-lem, centering around the Church of the Holy Sepulcher where took place the event which gives Easter Its deepest significance for Christians. Of this celebration MaJ. Edward Keith-Roac- writing In the National Geographic Magazine, says: "The Church of the Holy Sepulcher Is shared by most of the Christian churches. Orthodox, Latin, Armenian, Jacobite, Copt, all have definite chapels and rights to worship within Its walls. "The Interior is divided Into two principal parts, the rotunda and the Orthodox cathedral. In the former Is the small shrine or edlcule containing the Tomb of Christ. Most of the building dates ' from 1810. but the eastern dome Is Crusader and the Orthodox cathedral Is Twelfth century. This dome was badly cracked In the recent earthquake and Is now being taken down and rebuilt by the government - "The supreme ceremony of the Eastern churches, the appearance of the Holy Fire, takes place at midday on Easter eve, according to the calendar of Eastern Christendom, In the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Its origin la uncertain, but that it is derived from ritual and symbolism In nsage by the very early church is undoubted. In essence tbe ceremony symbolizes the triumph of the Christian faith, renewed yearly In commemoration of the first victory after Calvary. "The Orthodox patriarch, the primus inter pares among the princes of the Eastern churches, enters the edlcule over the tomb in which, for this one oc-casion, all lamps are extinguished. From here he passes out holy fire and distributes it to the crowd thronging the church, which carries It far and wide. Before the World war the fire was borne to the farthest corners of RumIs. The patriarch Is assisted by a bishop of tbe Armenian patriarch-ate. Representatives of Coptic and Jacobite, or, Syrlac sects take part as well "Tbe ceremony Is, however, essentially a rite of the Orthodox cburch and representatives of others obtain permission from the Orthodox patriarch by upon bis head. "About this time groups of young men enter the rotunda through the Orthodox Cathollcon, clap-ping their hands and singing. One or two may be borne In the shoulders of coreligionists. The pres-sure of the throng becomes Intense. "Tbe actual service now commences with the procession of the patriarch from the Orthodox Cathollcon, preceded by 13 banners borne by rep-resentatives of leading Orthodox families. They circle tbe rotunda, through tha throng, three times; then all except the patriarch retire to tha Orthodox cathedral He, disrobed of miter and vestmenta before th doors of the Sepulcher, enters, accompanied by the Armenian bishop. The Copt and Syrlac take position before the doors. "Tense excitement prevails. All eyes are fixed upon the Tomb. Voices, are lifted up. Tbe crowd, holding candles aloft, presses forward, wave upon wave, thrown . away, The seconds seem minutes. "Suddenly an Orthodox priest, waiting without the shrine, with a mighty sweep, withdraws bla arm from a hole In the edlcule, holding a burning torlh. The flame appears from the Armenian side also. i The burst of flame to greeted- - with frantic cheering, the clapping of hands, the ringing of bells and high, plerclag ululatlona from the wom-en. Tbe priest gives the fire to a selected repre-sentative of the community, and the crowd opena to allow him to rush with the sacred Are and light the lampa on the altar of the Cathollcon.

Tbe first service was a brief one, simple but sincere and Impressive. But as Rlls had predicted, the religious feeling brought about by an Easter sunrise service left an Im-pression which guaranteed lta continuance. Each year thereafter the interest and attendance at this service grew. In 1017 more than 20,000 per-sons ascended the summit of Rubldoux at Easter-tide and the next year saw the same number of pilgrims there. They had come not only from Riverside, but from other cities In California. Other notable Easter morning services In Cal-ifornia, each of which attracts thousands of wor-shipers, are those In tbe great Los Angeles coli-seum, In the Hollywood bowl, at the Tower of Legends in Glendale and In Pasadena. At Stove Pipe Wells In the famons Death valley a cross has been erected and there services are held on Easter morning In memory of the pioneers who lost their lives on the desert Every year thousands of people attend an East-er sunrise service In the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs, Colo- - and In the Wichita moun-tains of southwestern Oklahoma for the last four or five years a sunrise service has been held on the summit of one of the rugged granite hills. The chief feature of the service Is the Pageant of the Resurrection, presented by fifty members ef the Sunday school of Medicine Park. A.Sour Stomach.
