Today we are witnessing events appalling in their significance. The past is irrevocable, yet the present is ours, and out of it shall grow the future. That, I think, is the message of this Eastertime, the challenge of the Christos today, to see that what we profess is not dead letter, but a living power. That new hopes animate the world, that new light is dawning, that new revealings are being made, I for one feel assured. Behind the season's changing moods we see Nature, the Great Alchemist, at work.
Sensitive leaves drink in golden light, mix it with the elements, and life becomes visible.
Nature reveals her creations to the observing eye, but only hints at her secret formula.
