THE SPIRIT OF EASTER.
A Beautiful Psalm of Rejoicing by the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Young Woman-Author.

Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good
and His mercy endureth forever. Sing unto Him
a new song for He causeth the desert to put forth
blossoms, and the valleys He covereth with green
ness. Out of the night He bringeth day, and out
of death life everlasting. On this day new
light is upon the mountains; for life and the
resurrection proclaimed forever.
The bands of winter are broken in sunder, and
the land is made soft with showers. Easter day
bringeth the children of men near to the source
of all light; for this day the Lord decareth the
permanence of His world, and maketh known the
Immortality of the soul. He hath revealed the
life everlasting, and His goodness endureth for
ever.
Easter is the promise of the Lord that all the
best and noblest in shall be renewed,
as growth and bloom and ripening shall not cease
The bars cf winter are broken and the iron bands
of death are riven. The bird is on the wing, and
the fight of the soul shall know weariness
The lilies lift their holy white grails, brimmed
with the sunshine of Gods love. For has not the
Lord manifested His love in flowers and in the up
springing of green things? They sweet inter-
prefers of large certainties Each year the winter
cuts them down, and each spring they PUT forth
again. Every spring is new page in the book
of revelation, wherein We read that life is an
eternal genesis and it's end is not; for it endureth
forever.
The festival of the springtime is as old as the
hope of man. The Jews had their feast of the
Passover. The Romans celebrated the Megalen-
sia in honor of mother earth But not the Jews
nor the Romans interpreted the whole message of
spring To the regeneration of earth Christ has
added the new birth and eternal youth of the SOUL
We know that our branch grows in the physical
life but in the soul bears fruit that shall endure
forever.
Belief in eternal life compels us to believe in
good deeds and honest thoughts. The good man
tolls not for to-day, for tomorrow alone, but
because he knows that his labor shall survive long
after his hand has fallen from the plow. The
good man pours himself into the world and makes
it new He is among the blessed who win sight
out of blindness, order out of chaos, and life out
of deaf Since the first Easter morning the soul
of man has shone with unwasting light; for then
he looked into the radiant face of the risen
Christ, and knew that Gods universe shapes itself
not to destruction but to yet glorious
genesis; yea, it endureth from everlasting to
everlasting-Helen Keller, in the Youths Com
panion.
