'Easter Joy' Topic Of Annual Easter Weekend Sermon By ADJT. NORMAN BOWYER (John 19: 38-42: 20: 1-3) JOSEPH of Arimathea and Nicodemus had completed the tender duties of burial for one they so tenderly and secretly loved: the disciples, dejected and fearful, sat mournfully anticipating: a leaderless future; Pilate sleep less, pondered his weak and vaccilating actions; Mary Magdalene with magnificent composure, awaited tho first opportunity to visit Christ s tomb and as Byron said. "The bright sun was extinguished and the stars Did wander darkling In the eternal space. Rayless and pathless, and the icy earth Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air." The entire city and populace lay shrouded in darkness and un certainty. Such is always the condition in a Christless world or soul. The futility, confusion and remorse of a life which says, "He is not here" is pointedly Il lustrated in such examples, the woman at the well, the raising of Lazarus, Peter's denial of Christ, and Judas' betrayal. Virtue, strength of purpose and assurance are imparted to a civilization or individual who touches the "Hem of His Gar ment" just as virtue and healing was transmitted to the woman of long illness. The appearance of the risen Saviour to Mary Magdalene held a three-fold sweetness. First, her Lord was not dead, but alive. Her tears dried.' He whom she mourned so bitterly had con quered death. The empty tomb at first provoked Mary's alarm, but when she saw its true signifi cance her sorrow was changed in to joy. It spoke the fact that death could not hold Him, as it can not hold any of those who, "absent from the body" are "present with the Lord." Over the grave of every faithful be liever can be Inscribed "He is not here: He is with Christ!" Those who 'die in the Lord' do not lie in caskets. The living person ality that which spoke, lived and felt the soul is present with the Lord. Second: Mary was joyed at rec ognition. Jesus said, unto her, "Mary-." She saith unto Him, "Rabboni." The recognition was mutual and complete. A further part of our Easter joy lies in the fact that in the life to come we shall be known by our Saviour and by each other. There will be recognition in Heaven. Thus the grave is compelled to shed anoth er of its terrors when we per ceive tnat it leads: To a joyful reunion. Heaven cannot be less rich in friendships than earth. Even the saying re garding marriage merely implies the absence of physical basis of love. Affection will be spiritual, unfettered by the limitations of the senses, perfect. To the Saviour whom we will know and who will know His own. The disciples recognized Jesus after death. Thomas had no doubt about our Lord's identity when he saw Him. Conversely, God is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' that is the separate personalities of the patriarchs were undimin ished by death. They did not lose their individual identities. Centuries after they were buried God declares that He knows them as individuals, and as such they know and adore Him. This is much more than the immortality of influence, though that is a great and potent thing. Third, the Joy of service. Jesus could not be content with joyful emotions only. He had a work to do. He gave Mary a work to do. 'I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.' 'Go to my brothers.' Away went Mary of Magdala to the disciples with the news, "I have seen the Lord." We, too, must publish abroad the news of the risen Lord. Our testimony, like that of Mary, must De personal, it is an ex perience to which she herself could give a definite witness. We copy her when wo sing "He rose again and He lives in my heart' It must be positive. 'I have seen,' cried Mary. Her witness might be doubted, but could not be contradicted. It must be per suasive. Mary would go on her errand with a radiant face. Her manner would add persuasive ness to her message. Does not this suggest how we ought to speak of the risen Saviour? Re ligion is more often caught than taught. Let us live so joyfully that others will long to know our Saviour, too. Choral Eucharist At St. Paul's Eighth and Jefferson streets. Rev. Victor E.
