EASTER HAS CONE AND GONE.

Easter Sunday, the day of all
days in the Christian calender, has
come and gone. 1t was the occa-

appropriate sermons embellished
with fervid eloquence. The theme
of the Resurrection is the soul of
our religious system, the centre
around which it revolves. 1t per-
petually infuses new inspiration in
the believers faith and hope, as
the ever recurring spring renews
and rejuvenates nature. No wide
awake or up to-date minister
could afford to seem Indifferent to
its quickening and hallowing in
fiuences. Our colored churhes
were quite alive to this sublime
idea. They were not a whit be-
hind the possession. In all of
them, fitting sermons and special
song services were the order of the
day.
We were particularly impressed
with the very thoughtful, eloquent
and instructive sermons of Rev.
w. w. S. Dyett of Shorter A. NJ.
E. church and Rev. j. E. Ford of
Zion Baptist church, who fairly
out did themselves in their dis
courses.

Implicit reliance upon the promis-

While the life of Christ is an eter-

most emphatic and inspiring
source of comfort to the Negro.
Perhaps it is not the science of
theology nor the highly spiritual
revelation that appeals to us most
but rather the wonderful story of
human trial and suffering with the
resultant triumph of the promise
