At the base of the holy statues,
freed from their coverings of gloom;
from altar and chancel, roses and

Over all the Christian world float
the songs of Resurrection and Life

Resurrection! Child of Spring!
In the Savior’s name we sing
Os another Easter Morn,
For the chime of Easter bells
To God's children sweetly tells
O’er and o’er how Christ is born.
Though the world know somber
Christ is risen!
Though the race be lured by madness,
Christ is risen!
Though ten million selfish schemes
Btill confound the Prophet’s dreams
God’s white sun in Heaven gleams!
Christ is risen!
"Heaven’s gain and Mankind’s loss
Triumphed o’er the Roman Cross, ,
Vanished from His earthly prison;
And the lily in the dell
Like an ermine Easter Bell
Cells the cold earth He is risen!
Though in darkness mortals grope,
Christ Is risen!
Leaving here his Gems of Hope,
Christ is risen!
To the skies the four winds throw
Easter’s message, high and low.
Till the stars eterpal know
Christ is risen!

SYMBOL IN GROWTH OF LILY

stood by All.
“But dow Is Christ risen from the
dead, and become the first fruits of
ifhem that slept.
“For since by man came death, by
; man came also the resurrection of the
dead.
“For as In Adam all die, even so In
Christ shall all be made alive.”
Amos Wells In a sermon to chil
dren says:
‘‘Here are two pots of earth. One
(s crowned with a beautiful Easter
Illy, pure and white and beautiful,
rising out of Its green leaves. The
other is Maajk and ugly. But what is
this? A bfilb, an Easter lily bulb.
See! I will plant It *n the black
earth, and now both flower-pots are
alike, are they not? They both con
tain an Easier lily.
“What, you fhinfc they are differ
ent? T< sure, one Is h-autiful and
th€ otbf !s still ugly ahd black; but
I am g< *r: to water the last, and
make it l; uw, until it Is just as lovely
as the other. But what must the bulb
I just planted be thinking about, down
there in the close black soil? Little
It guesses of the beauty and the light
and the Joy into which it is going to
spring up, some day.
j “Now do you know why Christ
came to earth? It was for many rea
sons, but this was one of the chief;
to teli us that we are really buried
In the close, black soil, just as this
bulb I planted.
“You look at the great, blue sky
and the wide, green earth, and you
cry, *Buried? Why, how can that be?’
But Christ came to tell us of a coun
try as much more lovely and bright
and happy than this world as it is
brighter and better than the black
ground beneath our feec, so that we
,c*n fairly call ourselves buried while
we live here, and can think about the
next world as our time of rising and
; blooming.*’—Exchange.
