shakes off her winters sleep; when the
birds come back, and the flowers begin TO
bloom when every seed which falls into
the ground and dies, and rises again with a
new body, is awitness to Us of the resurrec-
ton of Christ, and witness, too, that we
shall rise again-that in us, as in it, life
shall conquer death; when every bird that
comes back to sing and build among as,
every flower that blows, is witness to us
of the resurrection of the Lord, and of our
resurrection.- Charles Kingsley.
