osopher can describe the process
And how precious is the thought that
we shall rise from the dead; that the
eyes of our loved ones that with trem-
bling fingers we closed will open with
luster on the resurrection morn; that
the arms we folded in death will join
ours in the embrace of reunion.
This is the Easter hope. This is the
power of Christ's resurrection. We
have followed our loved ones to the
grave and left them there where the
winters snow has swept over our
hearts and whelmed US almost in
despair, but through Christ's resur-
rection-who rolled away the stone
from the tomb of human hope and
painted upon the black cloud of death
the rainbow of immortality we can
almost feel our friends in our arms;
they seem to be with us now. We
shall meet and know and love each
other again.

ror; again and again they mutinied.
For many days Columbus concealed
the real distance he had sailed. At
last he saw golden bough floating in
the waters. On that bough rested a
cardinal bird, with wings tired through
the long flight. In that hour Column
bus exulted and his heart sang for
joy. With instant vision he leapcd
from the bough to the great forest;
from the single bird to focks of sweet
songsters. Just behind the red clouds
and the setting sun was that "undis-
covered country" And so he sailed
on, the long night through, knowing
that when the day dawned and the
shadows fed away he would behold
the new world. All know the result;
that is history. For the explorer, the
bird of hope and that golden bough
told no lies They were the forerun-
ners of this splendid continent and
this great republic, with its laws and
liberties. And not otherwise Is 1t with

Can we picture
mankind, if every

being in the Easter fact. What would
have become of intelligence and edu-
cation but for Christianity, which has
its root in the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, when the Tartar and the Hun,
the Vandal and the Visigoth swept
over the wreck of the Roman empire
and the ruins of Roman civilization?
Subtract from art all that 1t has pro-
duced under the stimulus Of the reli-
gion which centers in the fact we cele-
brate to-day, and you will have left
only what survived in ancient Greece
possibly in Egypt-and even these
would not have been preserved but for
the love of art inspired by Christian
ity. More than all, the morality Gre
ated by teachings such as the sermon
on the mounut would have persisted
but for the resurrection.

By REV. SPENSER B. MEESER,
Pastor Woodward Ave. Baptist Church, Detroit.

The Easter spirit is the spirit OF
Jesus Christ in the heart of man, seek
ing the triumph of right over wrong
in the world and in ourselves; the
mastery of the flesh by the soul; the
control of life by reason and. con-
science; the uplifting of our thoughts
unto the spiritual realm; seeking the
victory of Love over Hate, of forgive
ness over revenge, Of patience over
impatience; and seeking TO llake vir-
tue so often, and so welcome, a srest
that vice will move away forever.
The world will be full of folly this
coming week; a folly that is an irrev-
erence to the Easter spirit, and a dis
honor to Christ. For the Easter spirit
is the spirit of Jesus Christ in the
heart Of man.

worse with time, till, years ago,
had an attack which the doctor
diagnosed as appendicitis. When the
surgeon operated on me, however, it
was found that my trouble was ulcer
of the pancreas, instead of appen-
dicitis.
Since that time l have had sew
eral such attacks, suffering death, al
most. The last attack was about 8
months ago, and l endured untold
agonies.
..The doctor then said that would
have to eat less starchy stuff, so

results. 1t has built me up wonder

despite the Vaccinations of His enc
mics, He rose victorious, as the con-
queror of death. He left to pastor and
to people legitimate cause for per-

this when he says: IF Christ be not

vain, and your faith is also vain"
The resurrection Of Christ assures us
that we have been redeemed by the
power of His blood, and the angelic
tidings, "He is not here" gives us firm
est hope Of our own resurrection and

stoned by Him to proclaim it's
truth. The colossal structure of
the Christian church rests upon
the incontrovertible fact Men do
not build on bubbles or an abyss.
Neither of collision, delusion, or illu-
sion can the apostles be convicted. They
were neither deceivers nor deceived.
They were contradicted, but never re-
futed; prosecuted, but never silenced.
They varied as honest, earnest men
with marked individuality will vary in
telling their marvellous story, but they
never departed by the breadth of a
hair from the assertion of the supreme
fact itself. The resurrection is the
potency and promise of the ultimate
victory of right over wrong, of truth
over error. of love over hate Hail
then this day of gladness!
