Easter in Castleton was ushered in with
clouds and sunshine, but none the less with
Joy and gladness. The clear and brilliant
rays of light and heat were subdued and
made more solemn and impressive by COM
ing in contact with the fieecy clouds. Ev-
erything seemed to fill tho heart with love,
and there was a charm of sympathy be.
tween earth and heaven above. The silent
prayers of worshipers in Gods holy tenn
pie assembled with songs of praise and
''hymns of lofty cheer" The festal Eas-
ter so fitly commemorating Christ's resur-
rec,ion, and Good Friday making his death
and burial as days worthy of remembrance
by those who rejoice that "the Lord is risen
indeed" On Easter as at Christmas the
bells ring with merrier peal, and why should
they not, since both days remind us of the
Saviors birth and triumphant victory over
death and the grave! To-day nature
throughout all her vast domains assumes
the living spring and the throbbing heart
seeks and finds repose in Hope, the steady
anchor that looks beyond this vale OF woes
How appropriate that these memorable
days should be observed wherever the gos-
pei of salvation has shed lis benign innu-
ence. Rev. L. T. II. pastor of the Con-
gregational church, gave us an able and i'm

significant scripture-"Jesus said unto her,
am the resurrection and the life he that
beleveth in me though he were dead yet
shall he live, and whosoever liveth and be-
lieveth in me shall never die. Believest
thou this ?" Yes the doctrine of the resur-
rection lifts our souls devoutly up to heav-
en-, and we know that our redeemer lives,
and that he will deliver us. Christ the liv-
ing head, the first fruits, and the saints in
Christ the full harvest. The descent OF our
Lord into the tomb, is typical of the be-
reavements Of social life, and the constant
change of revolving circles OF time, ever
appearing and disappearing, but never end
ing. 1t also reminds us of many who "took
the pilgrims staff and began the journey of
life," with us who now alas, have passed
away like the "morning cloud and early
dew" The pulpit decorations of clinging
vines, and flowers and plants exceeded any
thing OF the kind | ever saw in Castleton.
How can one live and not welcome flowers
those gladstone messengers OF spring
love the queen of all the flowers, the rose.
Yes love the flowers. Very much credit
is due to Miss Lucy N. for the general ar
rangements and graceful disposition of this
magnificent floral display and for the ex-
qusite combination of delicate colors blen-

with it's hallowed associations, the sermon
with lis spiritual power and thoughtful in
spirution, and the beautiful surroundings,
all reminded US OF the sacrifice made by
Christ our Elder Brother for the salvation
of a sinful world. J. n. NJ.
