PAGE EIGHT HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1927. k AN EASTER MESSAGE. By Bishop Wm. P. Remington. Christmas and Easter, the two great festivals of the Christian church, are remembered by thousands of people in this country who rarely if ever go to church at any other time. Christmas speaks to us of the giving of God's life to humanity through the coming of His Son. Eas ter assured us that the life so given glows and continues and finds per fection in immortality. Our modern age has grown so accustomed to tak ing things for granted, that we are in danger of losing the significance of some of our great days and the customs and ceremonies which sur round them. Thus, the Fourth of July comes to mean little hut fireworks and big noise. Memorial Day a par ade of the Civil War veterans, and Armistice Day another one of the World War veterans. Christmas we associate with presents, a turkey, and a house all decorated with beautiful greens. Easter, the great spring fes tival, reminds us of the glory of the returning spring with its flowers and birds and all the joy of nature re newing itself. Coupled with all these Christian and national festivals and holidays is the ever present motive of commerce, to capitalize th& cele bration in behalf of a greater sale of goods. If the churches failed to keep Christmas and Easter, the merchant would still keep them alive. Let us not blame the merchant, but also let us not permit him to side-track the message which our Christian and na tional holidays and festivals have for every one. If we forget the real meaning of Christmas and Easter, the feasts will be hollow and tawdry, laughter and joy a mere mockery, and in the end, what was intended by God will be spoiled by man's selfish ness and carelessness. Just what does Easter convey to you? Suppose it had never happened, think for one moment as to what your life would mean if Jesus never rose from the dead, but His mortal life ended in failure on a cross. Despair, the futility of all things, would come to you, of all men you would be most miserable, death would remain the victor, and your noblest dreams and aspirations would vanish into thin dust. Easter is more than the assur ance of the life to come, it explains and interprets the life that now is, It speaks of change and progress, of God and His world working out His good purpose to recreate all things in accord with His Divine plan. Every year we watch the miracle of spring. "There is no death! The stars go down To rise upon some other shore And bright in heaven's jeweled crown They shine for evermore. Uiere is no death The dust we tread! Shall change beneath the summer showers To golden grain or mellow fruit Or rainbow tinted flowers. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread. For all the boundless universe Is life there are no dead!" It is no wonder that God's assur ance of immortality through the Res urrection of His Son, is so closely identified with the mriacle of spring. He has made a parable of this earth nature is always renewing itself. The poppies of Flanders field soon re clothe the ground over which men fought and bled and died, and dust leaps into life again and beauty is given for ashes. So it is with man, the law of his being is not death but life, not stand ing still but advancing, not resting content with things as they are but building out of the dust of his fallen house a new home in the skies. Fhy siologists tell us that with every sev en years there is complete change of every corpuscle of blood, every bit of bone fibre, of brain stuff and nerve tissue. And yet we keep on building up after the same pattern, the boy is father to the man. What is the cen ter of mystery in us which changes the actual physical structure and yet rebuilds it after a central plan? In r.ature we call this mystery species, type, seed; in man we call it person ality. The difference is obvious; a tree, a flower, an animal has no pow er within itself to change, except through the influence of environment. Man changes his own surroundings, he wills, chooses, and modifies, and therefore he is a person. The qual ity of life which man has is of a higher order. That higher order is creative, it thinks, plans, builds new things, and so it is part of the Divine Creator of. all. Man is partner with God in productive creation. Easter is the assurance of this partnership with God, and the good news that the life and progress of the person con tinues after the dissolution of the body. The central force of man's creative activity at last finds itself in the source of all creation. Jesus rose from the dead to give use evidence of the indestructibility of the spir itual in man. Through Him we achieve eternity. Come to Him, wor ship Him, find your life in Him, and you w-ill know the hope of immortal ity and the joy of fullness of living now. My dear friends in Eastern Oregon, I wish you a happy Easter. May life be renewed for you and in you. Let no pain nor srorow nor failure nor disappointment rob you of the ulti mate victory of life over death. Let not the eager pursuit of wealth or pleasure take from you the hope of eternity, by satisfying you with things, so that you forget your Di vine origin and destiny.
