Hope, Faith, Resur rection! Its sound carries us back across the centuries to that first glorious. Easter morning, when the bereaved 1 women came to the tomb and found that death had been con quered. It brings us a vision of the white-robed: angel in the sepulcher, saying to these wefcping women: “Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: He is risen;: He is not here.’’ And the com fort and' hope of the words fill us with joy, for- even Nature today re echoes the words, as we witness the miracle of resurrection all around us. Every field and meadow, every open ing bud and blossom, the glory and brightness of the spring day, all bring happy assurance to our heart. All that is beautiful never really dies; each year there is added beauty and loveliness as the world awakens from its winter sleep. And so, too, we feel, that we shall know that end less life and resurrection in that far, fair,country that awaits beyond. The promise that He made is still with us, and Easter day, with all its joy and all that it stands for, assures us that I ; ’it’ will come true. ’• KATHERINE EDELMAN. ((c), 1930. Western Newspaper Union.) ' * *" 4 WELCOME EASTER WEf.y ■g. • Jjft : : :-Z Thy voice of heart and spirit raise, O, Church o£ God, with songs of praise. Be ever blest, our Easter morn. When hope was born. Darkness Dispelled on First Easter Morning Easter is the promise of the Lord that all the best and noblest in man shall be renewed, even as growth and bloom and ripening shall not cease. Belief in eternal life compels us to believe in good deeds and honest thought. The good man toils not for today, nor for tomorrow alone, but because he knows that his labor shall survive long after his hand has fallen from the plow. ’ The good map pours himself into the world andmakes new. He is among the blessed who win sight out of blindness, order out of chaos, and life out of death. Since the first mornipg the. soul of man has shone with* unwasting light; for then he looked into the radiant .face of the risen Christ and knew that God’s universe shapes It self not to destruction but to a yet more glorious genesis; yea, it endur eth from everlasting to everlasting.— Helen Keller. Most Beautiful Festival The religious observances, past and present, connected with Easter vary, and are innumerable, but primarily they have one idea: the festival of the resurrection of Christ, observing it as the principal feast of the Christian era. In every home and in every church It is a significant, spontaneous and universally beautiful festival; a day of rejoicing and happiness. In every pulpit in the world on Easter messengers proclaim that man shall overcome all his enemies, con quering even death itself. In the story of Gethsemaae and the darkness of Calvary and story of Christ triumphant, the world takes new courage and sees goodness and right triumphant over sin and Injus tice, humility conquering pride and hate cast out. by-love.
