THE MEANING OF EASTER
The meaning of Easter and its message of joy, the" revival of
hope and the bouyant renewal of our aspiration conic to an old
and tired world and pervade onr lives even as thev springtide
floods and fills the meadows with her everlasting miracle. ,-. ;
' By an irrisistible human impulse, we seek out our finest and
most fnshionable raiment, and that impulse is parallel to the nat
ural processes in the wjirkj about ns. , If the earth can put off her
drab habiliments of winter and forget the somber, sunless hours,
so can the children of earth. .' In "every life today there may be a
' resurrection from the dead.. In every 'life old things may be dis
carded. He has not caught the spirit of the festal celebration who
is not stirred to a nenewal and is not moved to forsake the dark
ness and give welcome to the light.
It is more than a church festival. Believer and unbeliever to
gether share the influences of the day. In each of us, whatever
creed we formally profess there dwells the feeling that the day
betokens. It is the assurance that life is worth the living ami that
love can never lose its own. We stand today not at the brink of
a tomb, but on the threshold of thiseternal life and of this .love,
immortal. .
The Way Home, Is tho Way 'of the Cross.
DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP
IN VICTORY,
Mary stood without at the sepuleher weeping; and as sho
wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepuleher.
And si'cth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head,
and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain
And they say unto her. Woman, why weepest thou? She saith
unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know
not where they have laid him.
And when she had said thus, sho turned herself back, and
saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Jesus said uuto her. Woman, why weepest thou? whom seek
est thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said unto him,
Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid
him. and I will take him away.
Jesus saith unto her,. Mary. She turned herself, and saith
unto him, Rahboni, which is to say, Master. r St; John, 20:11-16.
"ALIVE UNTO GOD."
Not the future state of the soul, lint is present condition is the
vital thing. Men are bidden not to be anxious about the mor
row and that may include the eternal morrow since "the mor
row shall take thought for the things of itself." And all will be
well with man, as with the "fowls of the air'' and "the. lilies of the
field," if he, as they do, performs the functions ordained for him,
and is loyal to the true law of his being. Human souls are to
"be dead indeed unto sin" in order that he may be "alive unto
(iod." If they are thus alive their immortality is assured. "There
needs no ghost come forth from the grave to tell us this."
