Easter was celebrated in all OF the
churches In our city on sunday. Easter
teaches us that the first day of the week.
when Mary in the early darkness came to
the sepulchre and saw the angel who had
rolled away the stone and knew that tho
prophecy had been fulfilled and that the
Lord had risen, is not to be summarized
In any sermon or epitomiZed in any for
mula 1t Is for each human soul to real
lie within its own consciousness, the in
divldual meaning Of this triumph ovur
death. The anniversary that all christen-
aom greets with joyful paeans has sig
nitlcance limited to no race or creed 1t
belongs to all the world and not pagan nor
snfidel can escape its iuspira ion. III this
wise, in all climes, throughout the
Christian era has the story of the opened
tomb appealed to all races 1t typiiies the
supreme victory of the immortal soul,
which not PLATE nor MI tho agones of
The Cross could kill, over the bonds of tho
1esh and the confines of the grave In
these latitudes, Easter day is happily coin
oident with the vernal escape of the earth
from the vigors Of winter. 1t occurs at a
limo as Chaucer sang:
When that Aprillo with his schow res
swoote,
The draught Of Marche hath perced to
the roate.
As spring follows winter the lilies and
the choral songs of Easter herald the joy
Gus end Of I4enten penitence and self de-
nial.
The churches in our city We're well filed
and the ladies came out all decked in their
Easter hats and bonnets and new gowns
The sermons were impressive and the dis =
play Of flowers enchanting to the eye =.
while the Easter music especially prepared
was all one could wish.
