Because of its yearning to serve humanity, it prayed to God to become the most beautiful of white flowers. As it grew in the Garden of Gethsemane its perfume blessed the Saviour as He knelt in prayer. It nestled close to the Cross at Calvary and looked up into the Saviour's face. Its purity and sweetness were shared by Jesus. It grew near the Saviour's tomb, weighted down by the great stone that closed the sepulchre. ' But in the glory of the Resurrection, as the Saviour stepped forth, wherever His footsteps trod, the Easter Lily sprang to birth and again began to look upright. And so today, as Easter comes, the flowers of the Easter Lily which have been looking down, suddenly grow tall and look upright - into the Saviour's face. It faces the Easter dawn with the assurance of everlasting life! Bank of Eastern Oregon Cal's Arco Service Cal's Lounge and Cafe Case Furniture Co.
