The Easter Storm

The dreaded proverbial Easter storm did not
occur on Easter day in this section this year,
and Easter Sunday was mild and pleasant
day, much more so than those which imme-
diately preceded it. and it was an suspicious
day on which to wear and display new bon
nets, which, in many cases, we doubt not,
was a subject of more anxious thought than
thegreat event-the very greatest in the world S
history-which is so generally commemorated
on that day-the resurrection. We say it is
the greatest event in the history Of the world,
for it is the foundation Of the system of the
Christian religion, without which it could not
exist for day. for if there was no resurrec-
ton, the Christian religion is as groundless as
the "baseless fabric of a vision" Though
this is true, with many it does not SO much
engross the thought as does an Easter bonnet,
for with them, the resurrection is quite a sub
ordinate consideration as compared with that
Of the Easter bonnet, and how it looks and
becomes the wearer, and how it surpasses III
in beauty the bonnets of others to their great
discontinue.
There was no storm on Easter Sunday-the
true Easter day-but Easter Monday was a
rainy day. As the temperature was mild and
there was but little, if any, wind, it can scarce
ly be called storm such as is generally looked
one of considerable magnitude, for the day
was dark and the rain fell more or less
throughout the day.
