Perry J. Rice pastor Of the church,
delivered a brief sermon on the sub
ject: The Easter Message and
Spirit"
In the course Of his remarks Mr..
Rice said: Easter speaks to us Of
the presence and power Of God in the
world. It did not seem so to the dis
to US, but the seeming Is not the
real. Our doubts grow largely out OF
the disposition to let the immediate
facts so obscure our sight that we
can not see the whole Of the truth;
But God was in the world then and
He is in it now helping Us to work
out the problem Of our salvation 1t
is a slow process and involves suffer-
ing, but it is not without the Divine
1.-THE Easter MESSAGE speaks to us
also OF the victory Of the good over
evil Again it does not seem so, but
again, I should like to say, the SEEM
ing is not the real 1t looked as II
evil was triumphant when it nailed the
body Of our Lord to the cross Malice
and bigotry and dogmatic narroWness
has done its worst and doubtless
congratulated itself that 1t had put an
end to the matter. Evil always dis
plays its snug satisfaction with Its
own triumphs, and they are always
temporary.
ssThe right and the true is sure
to prevail in the end. Moreover Easter
speaks to US Of the victory Of life over
death. It does not seem So but again
permit US TO say, the seeming Is not
the real. We must revise our notion
of death. We have shrOuded it IN
gloom. We have talked about the
last evening" the end OF life, the
great destroyer the inevitable We
meet to pay the last tribute OF re,
spect,' to perform the last sad rites
All this is the OutgroWth Of lonS
standing custom, and IL all has Its
place, but We must be careful not 70
