The message of Easter is identical with the
truth that each Lords day proclaims to men
the resurrection of Jesus Christ The central
thought of the apostles ministry was the
resurrection of their Lord and Saviour. 1t mas
been the dominant theme of every gospel mes
sage The risen Christ's first communication
was sent to his discouraged disciples that they
might rejoice because he was risen from the
dead
Does Easter find you discouraged? Have
YOU made bad investment of your life and
labor? Are you disturbed as to the future!
Has death terror for you? Then let us rejoice
for Christ has won victory for us. Let US
give thanks because he is risen. His resurrec
ton contains the promise OF our endless nfe
1t is also prophetic of the Christians resurrec
ton when Jesus shall come again. The hopes
of eternal life should inspire us with dynamic
force by which we can, through the presence
and power of our risen Lord, rise above the
difficulties, discoura gements and defeats OF this
present age His resurrection has solved our
problem removed sin and burdens that nave
filled us with despair, and turned our apparent
defeats into one glorious triumph Inc gospel
of the resurrection proclaims victory OF re-
generation over degeneration, OF construction
over reformation, of life over death, that
Christ has secured for every creature that VIII
believe on him as their risen Saviour
To the disciple that denied him early on
Easter morn Christ sent a message that re-
called Peter to his service. Have you been
following Christ afar off? Has your life been
marred by sin? Have you denied your Lord?
If so, Easter has message for you Repent,
return to your Lord and then you Will rejoice
that he is risen and he will restore unto you
the Joy of your salvation.
The last message that the Master gave to
his disciples was delivered near Bethany, while
they were still in sight of the capital city of

The Risen Christ's Easter Message

Jerusalem On this Easter morn from Beth
any's study overlooking the Capital city OF our
nation l would call upon all the followers oil
the Christ to obey him and enter into the
Masters work of winning the world for their
Lord. AS he commanded, so would urge that
you obey his cali to evangelize the world with
the gospel, enlist disciples for his service and
educate all believers to be obedient to Wnatso-
ever our Lord has commanded. The Christian
conquests of the centuries, the marvellous mis-
sionary awakening of Christendom preparing
to conquer the world for the glory OF Christ
by the conservation of men and means and by
the cooperation of the Christian forces under
the leadership of the Holy Spirit is one OF the
many modern testimonies of the power OF the
risen Lord that is leading the hosts OF God on
to complete the triumph Of Christ when he re-
vealed on resurrection morn his power over
life and death.
The religion of Jesus contains the only nope
for the world His is the only religion that
meets the needs of all men. He is the only
founder of a religion that has risen from the
dead and offers everlasting life to all. Let us
consecrate ourselves around his empty tomb
this Easter morn to help him save the Worid
by carrying the gospel of his resurrection to
all that are lost.-Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

But the trail of preparation goes yet farther

where all the styles originate and where the

Easter, but her pride in her new tnery
usually be relied upon to help her combat the
Icy winds
A movement was started some years ago to
induce the women of the United States to unite
in robbing Easter Sunday of its significance as
a field day" for the new fashions. According
to the new mandate it was not to be consid-
cred good form for woman to appear on
Easter respondent in fresh additions to her
wardrobe. She might display her new treas
ures-for, of what use would nice clothes be
to woman If she could not show them-on
the Sunday preceding Easter or on the Sunday
following Easter or at any other time, but the
custom was to be decried of turning Easter in
to grand review for marshaling the newest
products of the dressmskers, the bootmakers
and the milliners.
The new plan was all very we'll in theory
but the persons who suggested it evidently did
not figure on the persistency with which the
daughters of the republic can cling to a cher
Gshed prerogative. The American women SIM
ply declined to abandon their Easter fashion
parade and consequently the seasons surprises
an new raiment continue to be as indispensable
adjuncts to regulation Easter observance as
are the Easter lilies and the Easter eggs The
credit for the preservation OF the traditions OF
the Easter fashion parade is given to the
women because 1t is the members OF the fair
sex who both as spectators and participants
are the most numerous and most enthusiastic
supporters of the function At the same time
it would be idle to insinuate that many of the
opposite sex have not succumbed to the intiu-
ence Of the Easter dress parade Among the
male contingent there is a brave representa-
ton of spring overcoats and spring suits, that
make their appearance for the first time, but
the one pre-eminent touch which proclaims the
occasion is the array of Few collars and ties.
Some men there may be- who, because OF
prejudice or pocketbook will not indulge them
selves in the new conceits Of the tailors on
Easter but there are none who need forego
the indispensable of novelty in neckwear.
AS has been said, fashions parade on Easter
marches UP and down the entire land There
are some famous Easter fashion parades in the
United States, notably the one on Fifth ave-
nue. New York, and the one on the Boardwalk
at Atlantic City, but there is scarce city or
town or village from Maine to California or
from Michigan to Texas that does not enjoy its
own haster panorama particularly Ii the COM
muuity is not so small that there are no church
services to act as an incentive to draw forth
the birds of plumage. And just here it may
be noted in wonder, that such is the perfection
of our modern system of fashion distribution
that the Easter parade in the most remote
town affords proof that her feminine residents
are little behind New York and even Paris in
the main essentials of the new styles"
While on this phase Of the subject it may
he remarked that very few of the fashionable
paraders In the Easter throngs realize how far
reaching have been the preparations for this
