Knsfer Sunday.


Raster Sunday.
More than eighteen hundred years ago,
on this morning Mary and Martha stood
around the tenantless tomb Of the Savior
The vestments of the grave were there, but
he who had fingered there for three days
had heard the same voice which awole the
dead Lazarus, and had come forth. The
morning sun, which had yelled its face in
| darkness and woe at the crucifxion, was
now spreading its rosy beams on Calvary's
blood stained heights, and waking the city
of Jerusalem 10 life and activity. The
birds carolled their matin hymns, the
flowers shook their dewy fragrance on the
passing breeze, and even busy man, I'M
knowing Of the resurrection, went 10 the
mart of trade to ply his usual avocation.
But woman, who had fingered longest at
the cross, was the first to chant the song of
the resurrection. How beautiful and sug-
gestiye that the month Of April should
have been selected for the resurrection.
All nature had lain for months in the
tomb-like embrace Of winter The genial
sun Of April had breathed upon the barren
branches, and touched them into flowers
The mortal has put on Immortality. This
festival has been kept with religious en-
thusiasm from that day to this. The dark
ages which hung like a funeral pail for
several centuries over Europe, did not OBJ
literate the memories and hopes which
cluster around this day. The pious Catko-
lie in the Seven Hilled City," and Venice,
Florence and America, will chant this
morning the same Ie Deum, and the Epis-
copalian, whether in Europe or America,
will repeat the same service. Though
earth has a thousand tongues, religion
speaks one universal language.
