An Easter Message Some few months ago we wrapped up our holiday ornaments and displays, and put them in dead storage for another year. At the same time we placed our still green holiday tree on top of the trash pile. In retrospect it almost seems that our actions were sowing the wind that created the whirlwind. The intervening days have been dark and gloomy; the wind has blown - and blown hard - from all points of the compass; the rains have come, and the snow, and the ice, and the sleet; and the earth has been a dark and deadly place to live. But in these last few days, or weeks, the sun has come to shine once again; the earth is warm and receptive to the touch of the farm equipment; the planting has begun; and the fields reflect a rebirth of the life without which our life is in vain. , There is beauty coming to life all around us, and mens hearts are glad. Here is new life and the promise of the harvest of the tomorrow; here is the joy of a rebirth of the cycle without which men’s sustenance is indeed meager. We survey all this from our world of happiness, and it seems that there can be no mar or defect to obscure this wonderful Springtime, which has ever gladdened the hearts of men. But as our eyes scan the entire horizon which is ours, suddenly there comes into our perspective that trash pile on which we placed that green holiday tree but some few months ago. The tree is still there but it has changed. It is no longer green and it has lost all its needles, leaving it brown and bare and ugly. As we continue to gaze off into the distance at this tree it seems as though it has lost not only its green needles but most of its branches. Out of the mist of the distance comes the picture of this tree with but two branches left - and these are in the shape of a cross. We continue to gaze and - it can’t be true - but yet there is the shape of a man hung from those remaining branches of our dead tree. So, regardless of all the new life and growth around us, we are, it seems, in the midst of the death from which we have just arisen. All the happiness, joy, and beauty which has been ours is suddenly tempered by this view of ugliness and death. We can’t tear our eyes from this tragic sight! There is mourning in our hearts for this man and all mankind which has caused this agony and suffering, the unspeakable ingnominy of the cross. We continue to gaze into this tragic distance, and then, suddenly, there is a change! The cross is still there but its arms are now empty. Our eyes search and search in vain for this man who was hung on this cross, but He is no longer there. And because He is no longer there, we are free from the stigma of the death of that tree and cross, and he who hung on it. Once again the new birth and growth bring nothing but joy to our lives and the lives of those about us. Yet there re mains in our hearts the knowledge that all this wonderful reborn emotion which is now ours, can only be because that Man came down from the cross. Who can that Man be? Who could stir within us and all mankind over the ages this tearing of the mind and heart? Certainly no ordinary man could do this. We travel along the restless road of life, and then we meet a stranger. Usually this meeting is when our lives are in precarious balance, and we know not which way to turn. This stranger holds out His hands to us in love and affection, in forgiveness for all our errors against Him and all mankind, and in promise of life eternal. We look again and - no - this Man is not a complete stranger. The view is a little clouded but soon it becomes clear that this is the Man who hung from the cross. Who is this Man? Who could open our hearts and minds to all the loveliness of nature, the true brotherhood of all man? Who could bring this rebirth within us? Who could offer us forgiveness and the love which passes all under standing? Truly this IS the Son of God! And because He lives, we too shall live! By Rev. John K. Worrall Rector, S.
