Mornings worship.
The snow fakes have not all been
shaken from the Easter buds this year,
and there are hints of frost in the air,
which, by tradition, should be filled
with balm as fresh and soothing as it
holy.
The anniversary festival which men
have fixed on to commemorate the day
when Christ rose from the dead, comes
early in the calendar this year, and this
particular part of the world has not had
time to put on it's Easter garments.
But that does not signify. Down under
the snow banks you often find the
greenest bits of grass, and if a bird
pipes through the frosty air his
song is as sweet as if it
fell on languid spring zephyrS.
The forty days of fasting are over.
Good Friday came two days ago. Pious
souls bring out boxes of myrrh and
frankincense to-day and the whole
world sings again, as it has sung for
nigh two thousand years, that "Christ
has risen."
1t is a remark six times out of eight,
in conversations on Easter music, Easter
flowers and Easter bOnnetS, that the
day is coming to be observed more gen.
orally every year-that all denOmina-
lions of the Christian church are com
ing to keep the great festival with
special music and sermon touching
on the great fact of Christ'S coming
rom his three days burial. Perhaps
'hese remarks are true. They have been
M with great regularity now for
manyyears, and just when the increased
observance of the day began there are
few now living who would easily re-
member.
In st. Paul to-day nearly all churches
will follow the custom of making glad
with hymns of praise of an Easter tint;
Many pastors as they rise to speak will
call to the minds of their congregations
the great event the day is designed to
commemorate, and in not few in
stances their entire sermons will be
built with this as the cornerstone.
There is no good reason why every per-
son in the city, whether citizen or a
stranger within the city'S gates, may
not find place to join in the general
song of praise.
CHRIST HAS RISEN.
Are garnered fresh for its roscate hours,
Spray, bud and bloom, from earth's fair
bowers,
They are twined in chaplets sweet and rare,
Each poem and each prayer;
Roses and lilies and passion flower
Have each their potent and subtle power;
And they bear our thoughts away beyond
Seas and plains where the palm trees frond
Christs childhood home, sweet Galilee,
Our hearts are full of Christ and thee.
"Mercy and peace from heaven above;
Easter has come, for God is love.
