at four per ceut, which upon being
loaned to its members at six per
cent, leaves two per ceDt in the
treasury, which at compound in

EASTER SERVICES AT
M. E. CHURCH SOUTH
The observance of Easter by the
churches of the city last Sunday
was quite universal, hut the order
of worship at the M. E. Church
South is worthy of special mention.
Here the congregation was favored
with a neatly printed program ap
propriately arranged by the pas
tor which added much interest to
the occasion. Incorporated in the
program was the pastor’s greeting
to the church and deeming it ol un
usual merit we reproduce it for the

world today. Yours very truly,
Once again has the glorious Easter
Day come. We pass from the recollec
tion, for the time being, of the suffer,
ings and death of the Messiah, to a con
templation of His triumph. The dark
ness of the tomb has faded away. I
think it is very significant that Easter
comes in the Spring, for Easter dis
pelled the gloom of the grave, and
Spring drives before it the gloom of
Winter.
Possibly the happiest time of the year
is Easter. I hardly think that state
ment too broad. Christmas is a happy
time, for then we celebrate the birth
of our Redeemer. But at Easter we
commemorate His resurrection from the
dead; we celebrate His triumph over His
last enemy. As we commemorate this
Easter has
occasion,
Christ
shown let to us
the remember
world that that
all
power is given unto Him, both in heaven
and in earth.
It was not possible that Christ should
be holden of death. He was above its
power; he was superior to it. True,
His body must succumb, but in three
days he arose triumphant. This shows
greater power than had He never died.
It is an historical fact that Christ arose
from the tomb. It is beyond the power
of successful contradiction. It may
transcend human reason, but it does not
contradict it. To deny the Resurrection
is to show the narrowness and the ig
norance of the mind. Might as well
deny the battle of Gettysburg. It would
be just as reasonable.' Christ had told
the Jews that if they should destroy
His body. He would build it again in
three days. He did so. Men could
crucify Him and place Him in the tomb,
but they could not keep him there.
Christ arose, and because o f this we
shall arise also. The question has been
asked—If a man die, shall he live again?
It has been answered by all nations.
All peoples of history have believed in
immortality. They may have had crude
ways of expressing the belief, but they
held to the belief. And today the be
lief is stronger than ever. In fact, the
more enlightened the nation, the great
er is its belief in immortality. Job said
that in his flesh he would see God.
Christ said; “In My Father’s house are
many mansions. I go to prepare a
place for you.” He said that if we
would be faithful unto death, He would
give us a crown of life. Should not
these promises keep us faithful? I
shall be gathered to Him on the Resur
rection Morn, no matter whether this
old body lies in some grave in a beauti
ful hillside cemetery, or at the bottom
of the seas. He will find it—He said
He would, and that is sufficient. But
it will then be made like unto His own
glorious body. I believe this flesh is
precious to Him, and that He will bring
it to Himself for complete purification.
Let us this Easter morn arise from
our selfishness, from our doubt,
from our indifference, and from our
sin, into newness of heart and of life.
May this day be a blessing and an in
spiration to you. May it increase
your faith. May you behold your Risen
Saviour.
