he asks concerning Good Friday.
It is always "a;T pleasure to the editors of this7 newspaper to devote
space'to questions submitted by intelligent boys ancl girls and to give them
.the "correct •■'answers. Many of The
Sun's warmestY admirers are to be
found among the young people in

high compliment to be known as the
;friends of such bright boys .and
girls:   . . '-■•        . .7   ;.
As Known! Elsewhere
- Good Friday is observed in memory
of the Crucifixion, as Easter Sunday
is observed in memory of the Resurrection. Good Friday is the'saddest?
day ih the year for millions of Christians, and "Easter Sunday will, be the
most joyful.
Good Friday—"The Holy and Great
Friday"'in, the Greek. "Holy Friday"
in the Romance languages.
"Sorrowfuli Friday" in the .German.
"Long Friday" among-. the Anglo-
Saxons and Danes.
. Some Bible students say" the original spelling probably was "God's Friday," rather than Good Friday. Some
■historians have reckoned "that the actual, date, of the Crucifixion was Fri--
day,.-'April. 3, in the year-33 of the
Christian era. Others reckon the date
as having heen April 7 in the'year
A:D". 30. ■i:'    • '*" - y yy^-:.k
■ 'Observance of the event, "however,
varies from year to yearj depending
on the time of the first full moon of
Spring and not on a fixted date'in the
calendar. This shifting of'dates of
Good ^Friday and Easter in accordance withYthe moon's changes is a
survival of a 7 custom prevailing
among the early Christians. It was
formally approved .by the Council of
Nice in the fourth century.
It will no dpubtj interest our young
friend to Iknow that sbnje years ago
bill was introduced int6 the English
arliament to the effect that  Easter
should-always be observed on the second ,'Snnday in April.
t is argued*.that this would bring
the\ annual observance on the date
nearest to the true anniversary of the
events which are being celebrated. A
committee of the League of Nations
■took Vip the subject in 1923. And in
1928 tJiie English Parliament (A body
like our Congress) .passed a law fixing "the first Sunday' after the second Saturday in April" as ..the date
of Easter for future years; the
change not to ta*ke "effect -until after
other nations agree to it—and the
other nations have not accepted the
idea yet.

"ON THEIR HIND LEGS
That is what the top sergeant says
about the raw1 recruits after a few
days of outdoor exercise and training in a C. M. T. C. citizenship school:
When most of the young men arrive
they straggle around, leaning on one
foot, with one elbow resting in air.
They soon snap out of it, however,
and stand on their ''hind legs," look
one squarely in the eye, and generally
have that smart "front" that gets a
person somewhere in daily life these
days. The American Legion throughout the country sponsors the-Citizens'
Military Training Camps because they
teach young men the principles of
good government, healthful living and
obedience to law!

Easter Sunday church" services in
North Canton and the district served by The Sun always attract numerous congregations, and if the day is
clear in this section of Stark county
the churches will be packed to the
doors. Going to church on Sunday is
a fixed habit with the people, but on
Easter Sunday everyone goes to at
least one service. That is an ironclad rule of years' standing.
Following their usual custom, the
pastors and choir leaders extend the
musical programs, and "Joyous Easter" comes into its own. This year
elaborate preparations have been
made and full choirs will be assisted,
in several instances, by singers of
note belonging to churches in the
cities.    .
Below will be found the news furnished The Sun by the pastors, and
readers will perceive that the day Will i
be honored in songs of gladness.

An artistic booklet reached The
Sun this week. It is issued by The
Citizens Building and Loan company
and on the cover appear the lines:
Another Milestone of "The Citizens'."
An excellent picture of the company's
new two full-story building on the
Square in North Canton, graces the
page and the 'caption reminds you
that it is "A Friendly Institution."
A Useful Map
A two-page map, in colors, shows
the large territory served by The
Citizens Building and Loan company
from Canton and the North Canton
office. The map is the best this writer
for The Sun. has stfen of Stark county
and the counties bordering it north
and south. It is well worth preserving as a guide, and we believe it will
be by the public.
Pictures of the interior of the new
home and of the . large vault are
shown, also a brief history of The
"Citizens" since its organization on
February 10, 1899, on the southwest
corner of Third, and Cleveland avenue
SW., Canton. The main office on the
Square in Canton occupies a page. ■
North Canton  Officials
Among,- the interesting features is
a picture of Ralph Young, manager of
the North Canton branch of The
Citizens. His superiors pay a well
deserved tribute to the industry, integrity and general all-round usefulness of Mr' Young, and the praise
will be fully endorsed by hundreds
of men and women who transact
business with Ralph.
Mr. Young's Assistant
Mr. Young's assistant, Miss Mary
Patterson, receives a choice bouquet
alongside of her picture, and readers
are reminded that "her.pleasant word,
of greeting,, he^ch-erfi'ilness'(ind will-
ingiiass t6»'db'i$0<&,^Ui;'!ijs' "pi/ssjble- itt.
the accommodation of patrons of The
"Citizens" will prove a real welcome."
No one will find fault with the
above statement. Miss Mary Patterson is a big asset to an institution,
and like Mr. Young, her one ambition
is to serve the public faithfully.
Picture of the "Squire"
Any reference to The Citizens-
Building and Loan company without
mention of its original guiding spirit,
"Squire" William Wagner, would be
like omitting dates in a work dealing:
with history. The compiler of this
interesting booklet realized this and.
as a result he gives us an excellent
likeness of the genial Squire and a
brief sketch of the man who first saw
the immense good he could be to tha
public if he could put his high ideals
into a working unit.
William Wagner's name is enshrined in the hearts of the people of Stark

parts.
Special Arrangement
The musical production is taken
largely from work of J. H. Maunder,
an English composer, "Olivet to Calvary." The latter part of the program is complimented with a number
by John Prindle Scott and an adaptation of an old church hymn tune,
"Allelulia."
Continental Program
A Sunday morning musical service
is a departure from the usual order
among churches which have two services. Usually special cantatas and
oratorios are given in the afternoon
or evening. A large audience is anticipated on- account of the Easter
period and' sterling character of the
music.
The first two parts of the program
are taken entirely from "Olivet to
Calvary." This production barely-
missed being catalogued as an oratorio. Perhaps its brevity was the
cause. The number has all the dramatics of oratorio composition, happily combining the melodies in it's construction.
These two parts recall simply and1
reverently tho scenes which mark the !
last {ew, days of the Saviour's life on
earth, and some of the reflections sug-,
gested.s i
Triumphal Entry j
-Tho introduction describes the   re-;
joicing of the multitude with hosanivas ;
and palms, the view of Jerusalem from [
the  steep  of Olivet, the lament over
the beautiful  city, the scene  in   the
Temple,.and tho lonely walk back over
the  Mount at night, form the chief
features. .
The Passion
The second part opened with the
Supper "of the Passover, at which Jesus
washes His .disciples' feet. Here He
gives to His friends the new commandment of love of one another as
tho sign of Uuc discipleship. The
scene then passes to the infinite

The Present President
W. Paul Wagner, son of the Squire,
started his training in The "Citizens"'
29 years ago.   Today he is the president, and so highly did the Ohio Building   and    Loan   League   regard   the
modest young man    that they made
him president of the League.  It con-
i tains more tlian 800 building and loan
| companies and the amount of money it
j handles yearly would cause even Roth-
I schilds to make a low bow to it.
i Officers and Directors
The officers and directors are merr
-of the highest standing. William Feller is vice-president; Lester H. Hig-
gins is secretary; Hayes R. Putman
is assistant secretary; W. H. Smith
■and John T. Blake are the attorneys.

A Faithful Institution
. For thirty-two years The "Citizens""-
Building and Loan company has serv-*-
ed faithfully and well tho public of
Stark county. Its founders were
proud of its reputation, and J. B.
Brothers, its sterling president until
his death in 1926, assisted in guiding-
the company in safe waters. His successor, W. Paul Wagner, and his advisors, are steering a similar course^—
a course far removed from the shallow
waters. With such men at the helm,
passengers and cargo are safe.
