SADDEST AND GLADDEST
Sir-The Passion of Our Lord, remembered during Holy Week, means His sufferings, which reached . their climax when He yielded His life on the Cross on Good Friday. It is the saddest time in the Christian Year. Easter brings glad tidings of the Resurrection. "Christ is risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept." Easter is the most joyous Festival, the antithesis of Good Friday. The listed programmes for Good Friday in this week’s Listener are full of anomalies. A church in Dunedin is actually advertised as intending to hold an Easter Serviceapparently in anticipation, but why hold it on Good Friday of all days? Presumably, you, sir, are not responsible for the listed programmes but, though year by year the daily Press fails to appreciate the distinction between Fast and Feast, the article in. The Listener entitled "Easter Programmes" is inexcus-
able.
