to start questions and stimulate vague
hopes, like unto those which had been
destroyed on Calvary.
The Stranger felt this mood, and
said to them: what manner of com
munications are these that We have
one to another, as We walk and are
sad?" One of them was so full of his
own thoughts and Of the event that
had engrossed their attention that
he said in reply: art thou only a
stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not
known the things which are come to
pass there in these days?"
Soon the Stranger was opening up
to the two sad companions the treas
ure-house of the Scriptures. They
were now near the village. 1t APP
.peared that their new comrade was
going straight on and away from
them He had hidden them good
evening, Something in them, how
ever, made 1t impossible for them to
let him go Something in him was
life and light, and it must not be
lost The night was near; would he
not abide with them Besides the
dictate Of hospitality thus expressed,
their hearts were speaking. He had
warmed INTO life the dearest hope they
ever had, and they thought it had per-
ished. A resurrection had already oc.
CURED to them. If they failed to hear
all that he had to say they might lose
everything.
AS we read the gospel story we have
a sense of glad relief when we come
upon Luke's words: But they con-
strained him, saying, Abide with us,
for it is toward evening, and the day
is far spent He went in to tarry
with them" Who has not expressed
the desire to have been there with
the three, as they sat at the evening
meal together? Was anything to re-
mind them of that Last Supper? AS
was customary, the guest had the
chief seat at the table, and he took
the bread, uttered the blessing and
gave it to them.
Then came their glad cry: 1T is
the Lord" Was it his touch upon
the bread SO like the touch upon the
bread and wine at the supper in the
upper room. where they saw him last
the Last Supper" that made them
recognize him? Certainly he seems
to hint this, in the phrase which re-
calls the past, as he says: while i
was yet with you"
The lesson for US is to look for our
Lost Ideals, which are Risen Ideals
in the very circumstances where they
were lost Expect them to appear to
you and to me, tn the mental mood
and tense which were yours and
mine, when we confessed to our hearts
that we had seen them betrayed and
forsaken.

IN the land Of the Crescent and Star,
As the Easter day draws nigh,
I pondered the tale of the Holy Cross.
The tale that redeemeth my soul from
loss;
And from lips OF Mary afar

They have taken away my Lord.
And / know not where he is laid"
All. Mary. your plant is mine!
Too often we come thru the gloom
In the dawn Of the Easter morning,
Its beautiful messages scorning,
To weepsat an empty tomb.
He is risen, he Is not here,
Go out on the highways to meet him;
Go bring the disciples to greet him,
Go scatter the glad Easter cheer.
Truly are those to be pitied who
fail Of realizing the real message Of
Easter cheer And there is a sad, sig
nificant lesson in the way that Easter
is understood and regarded before sor-
row and bereavement have touched
and Swallowed the life, and then the
way it is welcomed and harbored after
affliction has altered ones entire out
look on life.

breath Of spring and promise Of re-
newal. it seems an echo of their own
youth and joyousness, a glad reminder
that the winter is over and past, and
the voice of turtle-doves is heard in
the land.
This Is as it should be. We are not

rowful truth should be impressed up
on the young. Time, the great in
former, win soon enough acquaint
them with Iife's vicissitudes and
losses, and for those who long escape
the scorching breath of sorrow we are
glad and thankful, They know that
grief exists, that trials are known,
that Affections come, but usually hope
and buoyancy whisper, mot for jls;
no, not for us And so the strength
and cheer of youth furnish strength
and endurance for the years to come.
How soon In the wide school Of ex-
perience the most of us find life out!
How impressions alter and views
change as events like pillows roll,
and whether we will or not the exact

and settles our convictions and beliefs.
Blessed and fortunate are those who,
through the guidance Of Christian par
ents and the teachings of the Scrip
lures, have attained to manhood and
to womanhood armored to a degree
against the thrusts and wounds of
time.
But, after all, that which poor
humanity breads most, shrinks from
with greatest quGiling at heart, is
the separation from those held most
dear, whose lives are ou- lives, whose
removal is the stroke sounding the
death knell Of joyousness and content.

ASTER morning signifies forever
that our best ideal, even though
slain and buried by the enemies
Of all goodness, cannot be kept
in the grave. Cruelty Truth on
Calvary, and wound 1t to death; place
it in the strongest of sepulchres, and
set a seal Of stone, and Truth will
rise again. It is the history of every
Great Cause Of Goodness-first cruel
fixion, after being misunderstood and
mistreated; then entombment, and
then resurrection. The story Of Jesus
death and resurrection is the per-
ennial symbol Of these things.
If your Cause, or your Truth. or
your Vision of Goodness has not done
much for you-has not won your love
and devotion-before it was slain, you
will not likely recognize it when it has
proved itself superior to death.
Secondly, we will know our Lost
Cause when we get back to something
like the sad set Of circumstances in
which we lost the thing so dear.
There is always a place where we
mentally lose our Christ-where we
spiritually recognize the tragedy Of
the overwhelming of cur adored Ideal.
If that adored IDEAL is to have a
resurrection, and we are to know it.,
as our Christ-that Isl as the Power
in our life which saves us-we must
be ready to find Christ in the same
circumstances at the same mental
crossroads where we lost him.
These disciples knew their tragic
loss at the Last Supper. Cruciixion
and Easter followed. Easter Sunday
evening came, and some of the dis
ciples started out, perplexed and be-
wildered, on an eight-mile journey to
Emmaus, with a mysterious fellow
traveller. Their mood was like the
April weather. The springtime was
walking through the gardens, open
ing buds into bloom, and liberating
the song in the birds throat, as these
men passed on; but they were think

stirred uncertainty in heart and brain

A LII Christendom at this season
proclaims the resurrection OF
Jesus Christ and rejoices in the
promise of immortality.
No other figure of history has left
such an indelble impress upon hearts
and minds of men. His was life of
service, OF love, OF devotion to man
kind, and even in the hearts Of those
to whom the resurrection is not ac-
cepted belief, there is reverence and
admiration for the life and works Of
the Great Teacher. The leaven of his
life has spread from the little band OF
disciples he gathered about him until
today nearly one-third of the entire
people of the world are devoted and
acknowledged followers Of the Naza-
rene, and to the intelligent followers
Of other creeds he is a teacher and
leader Of men, comparable to Brahma,
Buddha, Zoroaster and Confucius.
It is fitting that the commemoration
Of his resurrection should be contem-
poraneous, with us at least, with the
rebirth Of nature Even as he rolled
the stone away and put aside the ha-
biIiments of death, so at this season
the timid violet, the jonquil, the Gro
Gus, the spear Of grass push aside the
cerements Of darkness and death, and
look up with smiling faces to the sun
shine of life. On every hilltop and In
every valley the story Of the resurrec-
ton is being re-enacted day by day.
The greatest lesson in the life of
Jesus Christ was that that Of service,
and more year after year is the idea
OF service entering into the hearts and
minds of men. The world is growing
better. Millions Of men and women
are striving today, individually or col.
lectively, to alleviate suffering, to pro-
mote health and happiness, and in
myriad ways to make better the condE
ton OF their fellowmen. To him who
brought light from darkness, life from
death, immortality from oblivion, may
be attributed all that Is good in our
modern civilization.

ceived this morning?"
Jimmie became suddenly interested
in the arrangement of the music for
the evening service.

god of love; and / have already in

"And mel, An absolute stranger
| like that" Muriel spoke with some
asperity and her manner, the min
lister noted, was much like her broth
er's.
"Oh, please, Miss Langhorn," "
begged the minister contritely. I'm
really awfully sorry"
"Well-Ill think about it," She
cast him one glance and turned to
Jimmie. Come, brother mine, or we
won't get any dinner" She turned
again to Doctor Davis, Cant you
take dinner with us?"
Under the condition that you will
all come and eat cold turkey with me
after the service tonight have
housekeeper who must be appeased."
Since Muriel expected to be in Lee
only month before going to the city
to start concert career, Rev. DR..
Davis lost no time in laying siege to-
her heart. The minister's decisive
chin denoted that when he knew what
he wanted he went straight for it.
Luckily, they lived in a healthy,
cheerful community where calls upon
the world-weary were not necessary
and the dominic robbed no one in the
time devoted to counting. Since it
was nearing the end Of the opera sea-
son, he took Muriel frequently to
that realm of wonderful music.
When she sang at concerts in the
city, he was always there to escort
her home and carry her floral trib-
utes. These flowers invariably lent
their sweetness to some humble
dwelling in the village
isn't it wonderful to be blessed
with the power to help our fellow
menu Rev. Mr.. Davis voiced this
sentiment one evening as they walked
home through the lanes after having
called to see old Mrs. Gabel, who
didn't get to church often on account
of the distance. Muriel had sung
some Of the familiar old hymns for
her until the dear old soul had wept
from sheer happiness.
"Yes," returned the girl with tears
not far from her own eyes. 4 have
wondered lately If all the applause
of a great, clapping audience will
ever bring me one-tenth Of the JOY
that the tears in Mrs Gabel's eyes
brought? she looked out over the
broad country. Anyway, I shall Of
ten look out over the footlights and
see-not swarm of faces-but this!"
Muriel's gesture swept in the starry
heavens, the moonlit road and the
great arch Of trees.
Suddenly the dominic turned and
took her in his arms. ''You are not
going on any stagel It would take
YOU too far from me. You may do
all the concert work-all the church
singing you like-but always / will
come for you when night falls. Your
Brother Jim sent me the god Of love
and am going to hold on to it,
What do you think about it, dear?s
Evidently am not to be allowed
to think, murmured Muriel, but with
finality in her resignation.

There were many fair parishioners
who would gladly have been that
fortunate maid; their iuclinations,
however, were restricted to the gifts
which constantly found their way to
the rectory. The wide couch in the
