ALL SPEAK OF RESURRECTION
Awakening Of Buds and Blossoms to
New Life Confirms MankInd's
Belief In Immortality.

Poets and philosophers had mourned
pathetlcally over the inequality of ma
ture in this, that while other things
had another life In store, yet man, who
appeared like the lord of creation him
self. seemed to have no resurrection.
But now, after Christ had been indeed
found to have risen from the grave, to
them who obtained for the first time
any glimpse OF the truth, it must in
deed have been like a new creation"
"old things passed away. and all
things become new"
. 1t is the spring of the year.
"Rlse up, and come away. For, 10
the winter is past, the rain is over and
gone: the flowers appear on the earth
the time of singing is come" And
what Is spring after winter but nature
speaking of the resurrection OF her
Lord? 1t is the season when day is
lengthening and mastering the night /;
light is overcoming darkness, and life
sprlnging out of apparent death; as
in the returning presence OF him who
Is very life and very light, and maketh
all things new. And all this Is as the
earnest of that great morning where
In 1t is said, 1--WE shall be like him."
