Easter.

Once more we hail the Easter dawn;
! the season of natures awakening from
its suspended activity. All the while
seeming death has been preparing for
birth into new forms of life.
Man alone i'll his resistlessness can
not rest While the forces of life propel
he is ceaselessly active; retreat as
he may through forty days of fasting
it is never repose; seething, resistless
the mighty forces, which ally him with
his maker, and Gods manifestations
in wonderful works, impel him relent-
lessly to continue working out the
problems of life.
Would we. could rest we say;
rather, would we had power and
strength for Srander work.
We are building a mighty fabric of
national life, we are preparing the
young to take out places as citizens,
as patriots, as teachers, as philanthrO-
pists; rest is not for one of us; should
one man stop we even think the world
would not
Go on; could one man stop the world
might pause; but, with the apparent
death of one atom in Gods universe
straightway there is new life, a new
birth.
AS instruments in our little corner
we cannot escape the fact, that humble
as we are, pOwerless as we seem to
ourselves to be, to resist the forces
of evil, we are IL part of and necessary
to God and to humanity
How much of Il power spiritually,
prior to the decay of our fieshly bodies,
lies largely in our own selves. The
use we make of the instruments God
presents to us, the way in which we
accept and refuse our limitations
marks our growth in spiritual grace,
evidences our capacities for increas-
ing life more abundantly to the world
at our door.

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.
Easter.

Easter.
When the snow was deep, we said:
Snow is coverlet, gently spread
Spread and folded tenderly
Where the sleeping lilies lie;
Fold OH fold of feecy white,
Cold to touch and pure to sight,
Wrapped about the deep repOse
OF the violet and the rose
Softly speak and lightly tread,
Death is guarding Life, we said.
When the spring was late, we said;
While the storm-wind blew o'erhead,
Gods dear spring-time doth but wait,
Come it soon or come it late,
Come it slow or come it fast,
Erosts may blight and buds be few;
Still the promise standeth true.
Though the earth seem sore Destead,
God doth not forget, we said.
When our souls were dark, we said;
Courage, soul, be cOmfOrted.
Every life some hardness knows,
Winter-time and heavy SHOWS;
Every heart must learn to wait,
Though the spring be cold and late;
Prayers i'll time shall change to praise,
Easter crown the Lenten days;
Christ is risen from the dead;
Christ shall raise us, we said.
