EMMANUEL CHURCH
IS FLORAL PARAGON
YOUNG Women of Parish Achieve Won
derIand of Decoration Which
is Feature of Easter
Festival

Emmanuel Presbyterian church pre-
scented an almost fairy-like appearance
with it's beautiful decorations. The
Young Ladies' auxiliary of the church,
under the direction of Miss Pauline
Lynch, passed many hours of labor on
the previous day to prepare the church
for a beautiful Easter celebration.
A canopy of asparagus plumosus was
arranged dotted here and there with
baskets of cut flowers and snow-white
doves. The platform was banked with
potted palms, while the pulpit was sur
rounded with potted Easter lilies and
ferns. On either side of the organ
large white marguerites were sus-
pended.
On every third pew at the central
aisles were clusters of marguerites,
while the two intervening pews We're
ornamented with ferns, presenting an
aisle of floral beauty. At each pillar
unfolding the gallery were baskets
of marguerites, while in the Figueroa
street windows were large jardinieres
filled with the feather marguerites

SPIRIT OF EASTER
LIVES, SAYS BLIGHT
RESURRECTION FOUNDED ON
HISTORICAL FACTS
Leader of Los Angeles Fellowship
Declares Living Presence is
Heart of Seasons
Message

"The resurrection of Jesus is not
matter of faith, but of historical evil
dence," said Reynold E. Blight, min
lister of the Los Angeles Fellowship,
yesterday morning at Blanchard hall.
1T will always be subject of con-
troversy because while some will be
convinced that the evidence is con-
elusive others, just as earnest, just as
sincere, will be skeptical, impeaching
all the testimony.
THE resuscitation of the body of
Jesus is insignificant In the presence
of two incontroVertible facts. So long
as the church defends the Pauline con-
tention that faith is vain unless Christ
rose from the dead will the contro-
versy wage. Weighing of testimony,
historical and literary criticism, argu-
ment and cross argument will tear the
theological world asunder and the in
expert believer will turn in disgust to
agnosticism or skepticism or take
refuge in unreasoning faith and these
mental attitudes are fatal TO the high
est religious experience.
THE spirit of Jesus, that essential
part of him that made him the trans
cendent spiritual genius. could rot die
on any cross or be buried in any grave
because it partook of the nature Of
Deity and is immortal. Death loses its
terrors and the grave is robbed of its
gloom when we realize that only the
body can die; that the body is only
the perishing garments of the spirit
that are discarded at death. 1t is just
as reasonable to grieVe over last sea-
sons clothes now in the ragbag as to
sorrow over the disintegration of the
body. Jesus commended his spirit into
the hands of his Father; death did not
touch it at all. The mere reanination
of the body is uninportant compared
with this fact.
mo student of history, be he never
SO skeptical, can deny the presence of
an inspiring, viVifying, purifying spir-
itual force in the affairs of men known
as the Christ. 1t were easier to deny
the law of GraVitation or the existence
OF electricity. 1t is a moral dynamic,
baptiZing men with the spirit of holt
ness, firing them with zeal for right
eousness, impelling them to deeds of
splendid unsefishness and enabling
them apparently to energize entire ma
tions ana create epCchs. You can tear
logic to pieces, but you cannot argue
with lightning or confute the evidence
of a triumphant life. You can ques-
ton an historical event, but you can
not discredit a living presence, and
Christ is that. This is the heart of
the Easter message"

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
HAIL EASTER DAY
IN REGALlA C0MMANDERY
MEETS AT ASYLUM
Rev. William II. Day of First Con-
eregatlonaI Church Addresses
on Immortality During Ma
sonic Ritual

1t had been planned to hold the Eas
ter services of the knights Templar
in the First Congregational church,
but owing to the inclemency OF the
weather, the service was held in the
commandery hall at Pico and ttgueroa
streets.
The knights Templar turned out in
full uniform to the number of 1875, con-
sisting of members of Los Angeles
commandery No and Golden West
commandery No. 43.
The knights presented beautiful
appearance as they sat in semicircle
in the hall, including those on the
platform. In the midst of the ritualistic
ceremonies, the Rev. William Horace
Day. pastor of the First Congregational
church, made an address. He said in
part:
This is the anniversary of the most
glorious hour in human history. The
risen Lord has flung successive gen.
erations around the world that all
might know that life and immortality
were facts, The teaching of Our Lord
was to prepare those chosen men TO
show men how to win life. life at the
full. To win this eternal potent life
you must learn to follow him in the
way of the cross. The acceptance 'of
the cross means to find life by losing
it for his sake. Men have found the
glorious life in every age.
Jesus lived and energized at the
maximum. He touched weakness and
transformed it into strength, the i'm
portant element of man. The divine
energy should show itself in every hui
man life. If a man walks in the path
of the Master he must take up his cross
and follow him. Verify, verify, l say
unto you. he that believeth in me the
works that l do. shall he do also, and
greater works than these shall he do
prayer of intercession and prayer
o. fellowship are important elements
in the life of man. Much energy is
gone because we have lost the power of
prayer
The Rev. Dr. Day addressed the
knights more i'm the line of religious,
than historical facts, which met the
approval of the members of the order.

FAITH IN ETERNAL
LIFE INDICATED
The Rev. j. A. Geissinger Of University
M. e. Church Says Easter Fes-
tivaI Bears Out christs
Teachings

In his Easter sermon the Rev. j. A,
Geissnger of the University Methodist
Episcopal church said in part;
christmas is a season of good Will
among men and reminds us of the
grace of Christ in the life of the race.
But Easter is the souls dav. 1t stands
for the spiritual order within us and
about us. Today we see not Jesus hut
Christ risen, and know that because
he has risen we, too shall rise.
1--WE cannot understand the resur-
rection until we study ii in the light
of all that went before and all that
has come since. If we wish to meas
ure it's significance for the spirit OF
man we must think of what hope and
faith and courage the personality OF
Christ has given the race. Then, too,
we need to try to fathom the help that
has accrued to men from the church
and its propaganda When we think
of what uplift has come through this
whole movement we begin to see that
i'm the resurrection we have a proVi-
Dental power liberated i'll the world
for its redemption.
This moral bearing of the fact is
the strongest possible core boratlon of
the direct testimony to the reality of
Christs victory over death and the
direct testimony is most minute and
convincing to anyone unbiased by pre-
possessions.
"Then, too, we need to think of what
a witness we have in the fact of
Christs resurrection to the spiritual
life within us. Man has high hopes
concerning his destiny, and when we
know his inmost thought we know that
he has a deep-seated faith concerning
the persistence of life. But much of
the time the soul in man is beclouded.
Our hopes are ever hobble1 with mis-
givings Easter justifies our highest
hopes. We can scarcely believe in the
spiritual order about us. Suspicion
holds us. We have a fear of DEATH
1t seems so mighty. Easter witnesses
for the order of grace Life and i'm
mortality are brought to light in this
revelation of Christ. Our MIST daring
faith is indicated"

At the First Methodist church the

with joyful hearts we hail the
Easter morning, the gladdest and most
significant anniversary in the church
calendar.
ION that first Easter morning when
the faithful women came sadly to the
sepulcher they found the stone rolled
away from the door and an angel sit
ting upon it. AS the women were re-
treating in fright the angel said, Fear
not, for | know We seek Jesus which
was crucifed. He is not here; he is
risen, as he said. Come see the place
where the Lord lay. And go quickly
and tell his disciples that he is risen
from the dead As the women hurried
breathlessly away Jesus met them and
said, All hailr They held him by the
feet and Worshiped him. Jesus reas-
suringly said to them, BE not afraid;
go tell my brethren that they go into
Galilee and there shall they see me-
AS we come this morning to the
open sepulcher and the risen Christ
the words again fall from the Masters
lips and we also are commissioned, Go
tell my brethren
Jesus Christ himself explained to
his disciples the divine purpose of his
resurrection in the Words, 1T behooved
Jesus Christ to suffer and to rise from
the dead the third day, and that re-
pentance and remission of sins should
be preached in his name among all ma
tons beginning at Jerusalem; and ye
are witnesses of these tidings. This,
our day of triumph and rejoicing, is
also our day of repentance and con-
fession and of remission of sins. The
glow of the Easter morning will drive
all shadows of sin cut of our lives if
we will humbly confess our sins and
accept the risen Lord as our pardon
and salvation,
"'Go tell my brethren The brother
hood of man is directly the fruit of the
resurrection of Jesus. Jesus won his
brotherhood to the race by suffering
for his fellows. Salf-deni9l and sym
pathy and sacrifice are the ties which
bind men to each other. Humanity's
wounds and hurts and heartaches must
be healed. Treat their loathsome hurts
and heal mine own We are redeemed
for service and refined and made di-
vine by service to our fellows"
