Easter Message of Immortality.

To those to whom death has brought
keen sorrow comes the Easter mes
sage: Il am the resurrection and the
life" 1t needs to them no proof,
no scientific demonstration. Through
the insight which is vouchsafed men
In their hours of crisis, they have
the vision Of this mortal putting on
of Immortality. A man was talking
the other day Of the death Of his six.
teen-year-old son, who had been for
years his close companion. Il feel"
he said, that he is closer to me now
than he was at home a fortnight ago."
There was no need of argument there.
The seers of all ages have known
that the qualities which they have
loved In human personalities are un'
dying and that the personalities en-
bodying those qualities are living the
life everlasting.
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1914-04-02

it was heralded by the Angel Of the
Resurrection. The first flower Of hui
manity to pass into its perfected stage
of glorious fruition, was the Man who
came back from the dead in the mys-
terry of "a Spiritual Body" on the first
Sunday that ever was.
Every garden is sacramental place
now, since the Easter flowers first
vowed, near 1900 years ago. 1t is sign
of the inward grace which moves amid
the dust of the ages, preserving the
germ lives of all who have gone down
into the soil, resting until the Angel Of
the great Resurrection sets to his lips
the golden trumpet, and sounds the
clarion call Of the Great springtime,
when the garden Of Paradise shall
give back its souls, and the black earth
and the deep seas shall give up their
dead, and lives shall bloom again in
new beauty, and the unfading majesty
for which they were created at the
first.

IT,
HE HS "a for their fellow worship
KH&HK% ers suspect that these
same tombs should soon
be their churches and their hiding
places! The first catacombs Of Rome
were excavated by wealthy Christians
for their own families, and later, when
extended, the bodies of their poorer
brothers and sisters in the faith were
admitted. The extent Of the labyrinths
which undermine the suburbs of Rome
rivals their complexity. In four CEN
turies $50 miles of corridors were cut
from the rock, some OF the passages
being rs feet below the surface.
The passages themselves are only
wide enough for a procession to
march in single file. On either hand
are the sealed inches containing the
bodies OF the first Christians. and oc-
casionally an arched doorway leads
into one of the larger crypts, which
were used as chapels in times OF per-
secution, in which Easter was GER
tainly celebrated, when the insane
wrath Of the emperor drove the Chris
tians to cover.
These chambers which were used
for worship were small and the num-
bers who assembled In them were
limited. There was a raised seat for
the bishop, lower seat for the pres
byters and bench about, the wall
to accommodate the worshipers.
Frescoes and inscriptions indicate
that the Easter feast was celebrated
with the eucharist in these vaults.
The doors and stairways were some
times blocked. with Roman soldiers
on guard Then the airholes were
used, and the worshipers were low
cred into the charnel recesses by
ropes.
It was here that the embryo of mod
ern civilization was nurtured and
kept alive through period Of great
trial and stress. Had Nero's soldiers
known the catacombs as the Chris
tians knew them, the world might
still be laboring along under some
silly pagan creed. The life of Chris
tianity at one time depended upon the
dark and seclusion Of a tomb.
In the faint red light of torches
which illumined the sepulchral cham
bers the venerable and courageous
leaders Of the little fiocks admins
tered the Easter sacrament to fearful
yet resolute Romans, In whose veins
was all the spartanism Of Rome, made
holier by an ardor and faith which
the presence of men who had seen
and spoken with the Master inspired.
St Peter may have stood in one
OF these very cubicula and told Of the
truth and beauty Of His life and words

bronze and steel bore witness 10 the

prosecuted, many Of them without
home, were a forlorn and jaded spec
tacle. Only the undying, invincible
spirit Of their cause upheld them.
The preacher had to dwell upon the
joys Of the future and the Masters
promise to dispel the heavy gloom.
There was no rich organ music; no
display of color; no sound of mirth
and gladness from without. The
spring song of birds did not reach
them, only the deep roar Of infuriated
animals and the tramp of the legion
aries penetrated to mingle with their
voices In the service.
So was Christianity kept alive and
our modern civilization born.

Easter Thought.

The keynote Of Easter is hope. Win
ter's night Is over. The leaves, the
flowers, the songbirds have awakened
to the morning of the year, and hearts
too may fill with glad new life. The
real Easter is the power Of Christ's re-
surrection that raises our spirits to
heavenly places, and fills our lives on
earth with the Joy and peace, the vic
tory and love Of the spirit Of the risen
Christ.
