EASTER—IN YOUR HEART
What will Easter 1948 mean to you? That’s a hard ques
tion to answer, you say, because Easter is not yet here. And
that is a very good thing. Since Easter is some days off, each
of us has time to prepare so that Easter will mean what it
should to us. The Easter message should fill the heart, so let
us empty our hearts of sin that this message may come in.
Before the dawn of the Easter morn
Hide deep in the mold the dearest sin.
The unnoted lie or wrong begun,
Let the shadeless right once more begin.
Bury the pride that has sprung from naught,
The envy and hate of a blackened hour;
Arise to the Christ-life purely frought
With love as white as the Easter flower.
M. A. D. Howe
The Easter message is one of victory and joy. Victory
over death, and joy in the everlasting life. Christ rose from
the dead, and by the power of His resurrection we have hope
of eternal life in Heaven. This day on which we celebrate His
resurrection is one of rejoicing and happiness; may we put
from our hearts all that is gloomy, sad or doubtful.
The Easter message is one of love. It was love that sent
God’s Son from His home in Heaven into this sinful world.
“Greater love hath no man than this”—it was for the sake of
love that Christ died on the cross. It is because of love that
He now sits at the throne of God interceding daily for us.
Should not our hearts be filled with love at this Easter sea
son—love for Him who gives us life, and love for all His
children the world over? Before love can come into our
hearts, however, we must first expel selfishness, greed, and
hate.
The following story appeared
in the Pittsburg Press on March
25, 1946, and is reprinted here
from One World in the Making,
by William G. Carr. It is worthy
of record as the first vote for
peace:
“When the official ballot box
was delivered for the use of the
United Nations Security Council
which began its work in New
York, the ‘first vote’ was found
inside.
“It contained a peace prayer,
written by Paul Antonio, tin
smith, who fashioned the box in
a New York machine shop.”
It read:
March 22, 1946
“May I, who have had the
privilege of fabricating this
ballot box cast the first vote?
“May God be with every
member of the United Na
tions Organization, and
through your noble efforts
bring lasting peace to us all
—all over the world.
“Paul Antonia
