It has at length! come eventide of the lenten watchj The penitential day isj at its purple gloaming. There falls the hour of deeper meditation and consecration and prayer; the time of spiritual jpeace and promise of gladness, Faith's fulfillment in blessedness. '; ' "The Master's work may make weary feet, j But it leaves the spirit glad." 1 To the spiritual-minded the gladness of Easter is at hand, but this gladness is not like unto the hilarity oi riotous living, the 'flesh pots, wantonness it is a brimming measure of joy drawn of truth, hope, sweetness, light; life, self-renunciation. It takes no count of grossness, does not reckon the dross of the crucible that is white-heated in the world's work-place. It inspires no wish to "paint the lily nor to gild refined gold." The lily is beautiful enough. The gldj requires no chemist hand to burnish it to fuller brightness! j " Weary feet are bathed 'mid restful flowers, and about the head accustomed to bending toward the altar in rever ent prayer there is crown of light. The glow of the pen itential evening, the rays aslant the place of orison, are filled with the symbols of our nobler aspirations,' the while there rolls music soft and low, and of transcendent promise. . . . ' :f ' ,' i Youthful maidens making their way whilst they smile, or loitering when pensive, laughing in glee-fulness or tear ful in trial; little children at play or asleep, romping afield or resting upon loving breast, in pain or. in gladness these are all living j hopes and promise of the world s greater glory, the jregeneration and the saving of mankind from the curse that befell because of supreme law dis obeyed. Theytpoint the way to heaven, whilst primal wrong still works human woe. They give us teaching in the ways that lead to peace, contentment and happiness in the world which we inhabit j for a space, and would lead us to that sinlessness which jfits for whatever may be of bliss where time is unmarked for all that life of Love unmeasured by the course of years. From youth we obtain inspiration to struggle full-limbed and b-avely with doubts, fear.3, wrongs and repressions. The innocence of youth is the hope and stay and prop of mankind, of uome, of empire, of the world in all its splendor!, 1 Beyond the Easter altar smiles the bridal, the lilies of the one fading for! the roses of the other, which, too, shall fade, each leaving! the abiding essence of love; adoration for the Infinite, affection for the finite. And the pious maiden in the penitential time has mingled with humble devotions proud hopes that spring from bridal raiment, fashioned whilst the heart did beat to the orisons of the faithful; for it is the dutiful child of religion that becomes the unquestioning (bride of the undoubting bridegroom, and so they live and do good 'till their course be run by the sunset way. It is appointed that marriage be a blessed sacrament, and bridal ones without prayer shall be wed ded ones without bope. The State may make such law as passionate clamor or erring unfaith of the hour demand; but men and women are subject all to 'a power eternally regnant above all the wisdom and all the foolishness of all the world. Therefore the bride shall make her raiment in time of pennance, for it is to be for her a sacramental robe of the altar. Little girls the world over are clothed in white when they kneel for the first Communion in the place of worship. So also with the young bride -when she bends the knee there in the marriage covenant. ': It is well: it is poetry, it is music, beauty, love it is religion. j But out of all the turmoil good shall come, if we are worthy. There is a world of things to give us pleasure, and to cause us to look to the Easter morn with Joyous imaginings. We have the love of friends, faith in the Resurrection, the Slaughter of little children, the birds, the flowers, the sunlight, hope and duty mighty powers work ; ing for happiness.J Let us be happy. Let us do the best we can. "Angels could no more." To all our readers the Argus extends the sincere vnah for a gracious and a joyous Easter.
