OW little did the fint
Christian who reveres- J
tially prepared a place f
for their fellow worship-
ert suspect that these
sane tomtt shocld toon i
b their churches and their hiding
place' The first .catacoccbs cf Rome f
were excavated by wealthy Christians
for their own famfil. and latr when )
extndJ. the bodies of their poorer
brothers and sblers In the faith were
admitted. The extent of the labyrinths '
which undermine the suburbs of Kome
rivals their complexity In four cen-turi-s
150 mile of corridors were cut
from the rock some of the passages
being 75 feet below the surface
The passages themselves are only
wide enough for a procession to
march In single file On either band
are the scaled niche containing the
bodies of the first Christians and oc-
casionally an arched doorway leads
Into one of the larger crypts which
were used as chapels In times of per-
secution a which Easter was cer-
tainly celebrated when the Insane
wrath of the empero- droTe the Chris
tians to roTer
These chambers which were used
for worship were small and tbs num-
bers who assembled In therj were
limited. There was a raised seat for
the blahop a loner seal for the pres-
byters end a bench about the wall
to accommodate- tbo worshipers.
Frescoes and Inscriptions Indicate
that the Easter feast was celebrated
with the cucbartit in these vaults.
The doors and stairways were some-
times blocked with Ilomnn soldiers
on guard. Tbtn tbo airholes wero
used and the worshipers wero low-
ered into tbo cbarncl recesses by
ropes.
It war hero that the embryo of mod-
ern clUllzatlrm was nurtured and
kept allro through a period of great
trial arid sires Had Nero's soldiers
known tho catacombs as tho Chris-
tiana knew- them the world might
still bo laboring along under somo
silly pagan creed. Tho life of Chris-
tianity at one llrno depended upon tbo
dark and seclusion of a tomb.
In tbo faint rod light of torches
which Illumined tho sepulchral cham-
bers tho venerable and courageous
leaders of tbo llttlo flocks adminis
tered tbo Kustcr sacrament to fearful
yet resoluto Ilomnnn In whoso veins
was all tho npnrtnn'sm of Home mndo
holler by an ardor nnd faith which
tho presenco of men who had seen
mid spokun with tho Master Inspired.
St. Peter may liavo stood In ono
of theso very cublcuhi nnd told of tho
truth nnd henuty of Ills life nnd words
while tho distant clank nnd rattle of
bronze nnd steel bnro witness to the
soldiery on tho search for more prov

Tho beautiful pngcantry of our Has

music and accompaniment of sun
shlno nail the warmth of spring con
trnslB strangely with tho sottlng-of tho
Kustcr In tint cntacomliM. There nil
was sad nnd bomber damp and mor
bid.
Tbo wnlls covered with their funer-
al Inscriptions uero cold and

In tho heavy atmosphere of tho
scpulchcr. Tho Christians bunted
Diagram of the Catacombs
persecuted many of them without
home wero u forlorn and Jaded spec-
taclo. Only tho undying luvliiclblo
spirit of their cause upheld them
Tho preacher had to dwell upon tho
Joys of tbo future nnd tho Master's
promise to dispel tho heavy gloom.
There was no rich organ music; no
display of color; no round of mirth
and gladness from without. Tho
spring song of birds did not reach
Ihein only tho deep roar of Infuriated
animals nnd the tramp of tho legion-
aries penetrated to mlnglo with tholr
voices In tho service.
So was Christianity kept allvo and
our modern cl titration bum.
Easter Thought
mo Keynote of Easter Ishopo. Win-
tor's night Is over. Tho loaves tho
Mowers tho songbirds have nwnkenod
to tho morning of tbo year nnd hearts

real Easter Is the power of Christ's re-
surrection that raises our rplrlts to
heavenly places and fills our lives on
earth with the Joy end peace the vic-
tory nud love of the spirit of tho risen

For 7 years I was all run down and

and he got me S bottles at one time.
I began taking it. and before the first
bottle was gone I began to feel better
I took all of the C bottles and I am
today as sound and well as any
woman and fat and hearty."
Such testimony as the above which

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM

Tho kidneys do their utmost to free
tho blood of this Irritating acid but
becomo weak from tho overwork;
they get sluggish; the ollmlnatlve tis-
sues clog nnd thus tho waste Is re-
tained In tho blood to poison tbo en-

TRY THIS PARCHED POPCORN
Different From the Ordinary Method
and Will Be Found Really
Worth While.
Parched Popcorn You will find this
i not only delicious but quite different
from the ordltiary popcorn.
Place In an Iron frying pan over a
gentle heat a cupful of popcorn just
removed from the ear; stir constantly
with a fork so as to keep tbe grains
motlng. He careful that the fire Is
not too t as tbe corn might then

the corn In this manner until tbe
grains are puffed up and are almost
round besides bcln colored a dell
cate brown. Put the corn Into a large
bowl and poUr a generous quantity ol
melted butter over It stirring It sc
that tho butter coats tho grains even
ly. Then salt tho corn as soon as It
Is buttered so that the salt may cling
to It.

Inches shorter. Have two shelves
made with grooves three Inches from
back r.o theso can bo used to stand
up pretty plates. When finished fas-
ten cleats on tho insldo of first up-
rights ro that when shelf Is fitted It
will como even with the top of pieces.
Screw tho shorter pieces onto tho first
shelf before setting on cleats then fit
on top shelf. Havo fronts and ends
rounded on the shelves. Then stain
all new parts Fame color as the rest
then give a coat of varnish to nil
When done you hnvo nn "Old English"
