SUNDAY MORNING TALK.
Earth's GladdeSt Day.

1t is Easter morn once more. You
awake, perhaps, dimly realizing the fact,
but cherishing the opinion that Easter
morning is as good as any other for turn
ing over and taking extra nap. By
and by you will dress esurely, array your
self in your best clothes, and perhaps ac-
company other members of the family in
their new frocks and hats to church. There
you will listen to some of the most Ella bo-
rate music of the year, gaze upon beauti-
full floral displays and hear a sermon on
the Resurrection" AS you Wend your way
homeward you will remark upon the extra
ordinary number of people who go to church
on Easter Sunday, and incidentally, you
will comment either orally or silently upon
the stylish new spring costumes which
greet your eyes After the usual Sunday
dinner-perhaps a little better than usual in
quantity and quality-you will read the
paper, take nap, saunter out for walk,
or call upon some acquaintance. And So,
another Easter day will have passed into
history for you.
But man alive, is this all that Easter
In this year of grace, 1905, is going to
mean to you? Have you no realization of
the fact that this is the gladdest day of
all the 365, that the merry May day, with
all its jollity of which the poets sing,
cannot compare in point of real joyousness
with the glad Easter festival? Can you
not by any possibility catch a little of the
universal joy and weave it into your own
life? For whether you are rich or DOOR,
wise or ignorant, you are none too happy
Nobody is. And, therefore, Easter comes
once a year to open to every one flood
gates through which new and lasting 10y
may pour itself into depressed and wearied
humanity.
Doesn't it make you happier to think that
your life is not going to be snuffed out like
candle by and by, that you are not going
to die like dog in the ditch and be buried,
forgotten, worst of all, lose your own iden-
tity? To say nothing about others, you are
worth something to yourself today. You
The world has opened itself to you in
to die today, tomorrow, next year, or even
twenty-five years hence; for if you behave
yourself properly. you will be adding yearly
to your inward resources to the strength
and worth of your personality. What a
waste it would be simply from the stand
point of political economy to have it all
disappear at the touch of some wasting dis
ease. No, You are not destined for the
grave; therefore leap for joy in the con-
seriousness of your own immortality.
Your dear ones are immortal, too. That
ought to make you even happier, for you
do not really care to go along century after
century, aeon after aeon, never feeling
again the touch of the vanished hand or
hearing the tones of the voice now still.
Immortality apart from those whom you
loved and honored here would be tedious

YOU are going TO get your own back again

up so trustingly into yours. You are not

deep and noble friendships only to have
them forever blasted by the touch of the
death angel. Don't be afraid, then, to Irvine
your life around your dear ones. or let
them love you with all their hearts You
may grow with every passing year into
deeper consciousness that the great ele-
mental relationships of human life are
not for time, but for eternity. He who
does not grow into this consciousness must
grow more wretched in proportion as his
love for his dear ones grows, for, as Whit
tier has sung:
''Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through his cypress trees
Who hopeless lays his dead away
Nor looks to see the breaking day,
Across the mournful marbles play
Who has not learned in hours of faith
The truth, to flesh and unknown,
That life is lord of death,
And love can never lose its own
Do not these thoughts of our immortality
and of the Immortality of our loved ones
make Easter the gladdest day of the whole
year? And believe me that all this is not
fancy. The world would not be celebrating
as it is today if the basis of it all were
some beautiful myth put into circulation
by weak and credulous minds. No, there
is solid basis for Easter joy, and on that
foundation you, well as others, may
rest. THE PARSON.
