THE TRUE MEANING OF EASTER.
While to those of the world worldly
Lent means a season of retirement for
purposes of spring dress making, and
Easter the fit occasion chiefly for n new
bonnet, and to Others the time for a GER
tain lily, and to yet Others for the per-
Torrance Of certain church music, yet
to the spirit in accord with the spirit of
the universe the coming Of Easter
means all that the coming Of the sun
does to the earth herself. 1t is a re-cre-
alton. a new life or lease of life, a re-
fresliening of all the powers elmer OF
the sellses or the soul. But to b de-
vout the Easter season has a migbtier
message vet it is to them like the word
of God spoken to the listening ear; for
it brings not only the message OF the
resurrection, hut the message OF the
coming of the heavenly visitant to the
heart, full awakening Of the heart to
the hospitality of holiness, the COLI
seriousness, warmer and deeper and
more vivid than at any other period Of
the round year, of God within us.
