Easter Thoughts From the Ministers of Boise

tomb but in due time it will burst
the bonds of death and come forth re-
splendent. Easter is a day of gladness
because everything speaks of cour-
age and hope. Our doubts, our low
motives, our sordid aims are buried
beneath it's flowers of light and trust
and hope. The fresh spring breezes of
God are winging through the soul and
we are conscious as never before of
our true estate. Easter is the spring
time of the soul.
On Easter day, it is never hard to
believe that our loved are with the
Lord. For Easter opens the door of
the tomb and we see angels standing
there and we hear them say: why
seek We the living among the dead;
they are not here, they are risen
May the light of that empty tomb
on Judean hills come into every dark
ened home and into every sorrow
stricken life today with a healing
message of comfort, peace and ever
lasting hope. May Easter bring to us
all a firm resolve to align ourselves
on Gods side, may 1t help us all to
face our day with courage and hope
and to make our task of whatever sort
it may be a bit of ministry for a hun
CRY. needy world. Let us all rejoice
in the glad belief of risen Lord and
may we all find in it the pledge OF
our own personal immortality.

Message of Victory
BY REV. ROBERT M DONALDSON,
Pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church


Some call Death the King of Ter
rors. The risen Christ has rested the
scepter from his hands. In death, as
in life, we are under the reign of love,
rather than fear. We do not achieve
victory over death by fretting about
it as inevitable or cruel; nor by for
getting about its certainty or denying
its mystery. Yet most or us seek to
quiet our minds with one or another
of these methods.
God has taken the poison and the
consuming fire out of the air we
breathe by mixing the gases in safe
proportion, and fixing these relations
permanently. He has taken the in
evitable sting out of death by reveal
ing through christ that life is the
victor He who really lives is the one
who so uses life here that it will not
imperil, or in any sense be at war
with the life hereafter.
The Easter message OF Victory was
an angelic message, as was the mess
age of Christ,s birth. The hosts of
heaven were conversant with His til
umph over death. They burst
through the realm of silence that shuts
them from human experience, and told

Easter
BY RT. REV. J. 3. FuNSTEN, D. D.,
Bishon~of Idaho.

In this time of war, suffering and
death, the Easter message comes with
new and beautiful significance.
Hymns, scripture reading, prayers and
sermon are filled with the hope of
everlasting life. The announcement of
the resurrection Angel Christ is risen
from the dead" which was made to
the women, who looked into the empty
tomb, where Jesus body had been
placed three days before, was indeed
the most surprising declaration ever
made. 1t marked a new era in the ca
reer of humanity. 1t gave a new value
to mans earthly life, for light which
shone from beyond the grave gave it's
wonderful meaning to our brief days
of success and sorrow. Now is Christ
risen from the dead the first fruits of
them that slept for by man came
death by man came also the resurrec-
ton of the dead" Easter proclaims
the truth that Jesus, the Goldman,
who was crucified as a man, who died
on the cross and laid in a rock hewn
tomb, was raised the third day, to die
no more. Henceforth to every man,
accepting Christ as a redeemer, the
grave is but the shadowy gateway to
everlasting joy and eternal peace. In
fact, this hope of everlasting life and
happiness has so permeated our mod
ern thought that many are so unwise
as to claim the gift of eternal rest
with no care for fulfilling the condi-
lions of faith in Him and forsaking
sin such as He so solemnly command
ed. They take a fearful responsibility
Easter tells us that even as from the
dead earth flowers come forth in
spring, so all who sleep in Christ will
on resurrection morn, come forth to
die no more. 1t also has another
message. 1t tells that in order to par
ticipate in the final life-eternal we
must, by faith in Christ, die from sin
and rise again unto righteousness.
Easter means glorious music, beau
tiful services, inspiring sermon, but
after all, it's lesosn lies in IF we then
be risen with Christ seek those things
which are above; set your affection
on things above, not on things on the
earth"

flee for world rule and national peace,
will rise again and when the proud
empire by the Tiber ceases to be, the
Christ will be hailed as Lord and Mas
ter by millions of souls.
Easter sets before our eyes the
standard of true success. 1t shows us
the futility of all effort that is sell
fish or mean or low -motived. 1t re-
veals the fact that devotion to the
right and service to ones fellows is
the only true success. After the day
of pain and the darkness and the
earthquake and the silence of the
tomb, these are the only wealth that
survives. Easter shows us the alb
surdity of trying to rule the world
he only is worthy to live and will
live who has served the world. 1t in
PRODUCES into human calculation new
ideal. Once the ideal of dominion had
been the paramount IDEAL but Easter
shows that ministry is the only thing
that succeeds. 1t recalls the words of
Jesus: He that is the greater among
you; let him be ONE as the younger:
and he that is chief, as he that doth
serve. l am in the midst of you as
he that serveth." That is why the
people Of the United States may still
observe Easter this year of war. We
are not in this struggle for markets,
nor lands nor merchandise, nor yet for
place in the sun; we are in it with
the clean hands of service; we are in it
for the sake of humanity; we are in
it for right and justice, for the valid
ity of contracts and the mandates of
.~tA,, H.. "A
we could not hope to live in a right
eous world and be righteous and tao
lily sanction by our silence, a policy
of rapacity, frightfulness and malevo-
lence; we are in 1t for the sake of
| democracy, the right of every man to
place in the sun; we are in it for the
security and peace and wellbeing of
the generations yet unborn. That is
the spirit of service, that is the spirit
that leads sometimes to a cross, even
the Cross of War, but that is the spirit
that leads also to the Easter glory.
! Easter bids us remember that a man
or a nation can never be a failure
who gives his strength and substance
to some great and worthy cause. 1t
thus identifies our human efforts for
the right with Gods great plans and
makes us co-workers in the building
| of an eternal order. 1t declares that
no good thought is ever wasted, no
kind deed is ever in vain and no true
! life is ever wasted. All of beauty
worth, and truth lives on and lives
in a more radiant garb.
Easter lights the night of our dis
appointment and the hour of our most
disheartening and cruel opposition
with the foregleams of certain victory
1t bids us be of good courage. For
while weeping may endure for a
night" joy is on the way on the wings
of the morning. Easter says to us:
That the triumph of evil forces and
evil men is ephemeral. 1t bids us
know that the triumph of hate and
passion is soon changed to the ashes
Of defeat. 1t treasures US with the
conviction that the right can never
be crushed. Men may cruelty it. but
in three days it will rise again to
sway and shape the world. Men can
never destroy the Truth, it may be

The Shout of Victory
KEW. II. j. REYNOLDS,
Pastor of the First Christian Church.


Victory is a great word. The hope of
it inspires to noble deeds. The price
of it is never too great. The old Apos-
tie sounded the battle cry of Hope
when he said Death is swallowed up
in Victory"
1t seems that a cruel monster pro-
posed to depopulate the earth and blot
out human life without the hope of a
better day. He gathered his hosts of
aches and pains and malarias and can
GERS and distempers and epidemics
from the camp grounds of the ages.
He marched them and drilled them for
the final assault. 1t seemed that VIC
tory was already in his grasp. The
people of earth lay helpless in the
dark. A lone stranger appeared in
Palestine and promised deliverance,
but he, too, fell victim at the hands
of prosecutors. The Victory was real
lied. And what a triumph! How the
blind shouted in glee! But hark!.
What is that sound? 1t is the celestial
choir. They are chanting or VIC

The Bodily Resurrection
BY E. N. MURPHY,
Pastor of Pierce Park Presbyterian
Church,

The bodily resurrection of Christ
from the dead is both certain and i'm
portant. 1t is the cornerstone OF
Christianity, and has been called the
Gibraltar of Christian evidence, and
the Waterloo of infidelity and nation
alism.
The death of Christ is meaningless
if He did not rise from the grave. The
early disciples made it the theme OF
their preaching everywhere.
When they chose one to take the
place of Judas, it was that he might
be a witness of the resurrection. II
this supreme miracle is not true, the
rest of Christ's miracles have no proof
value, and Christ died in vain.
Come. see the place where the Lord
lay. We rejoice in an empty tomt
today, for it gives full assurance OF
our redemption, through Jesus Christ
our Lord.
The hours In which He lay in the
tomb were dreary hours to Christ's
disciples. They wanted him to assume
great temporal power, but He was in
the grave. High hope had dimmed
into despair. But the descending
angels. the rolled away stone, and
Roman guard as dead men, are but the
precursors of an empty tomb and life

Nv VII GLE MARTIN
Pastor of the First Methodist Church

Pastor of the First Methodist Church.
Easter renews our hope in ourselves.
1t leads us to see that our work is not
in vain. 1t gives us fresh courage to
essay the right with the confidence
that such an effort is never wasted.
Easter confirms our belief in the moral
soundness of the universe. 1t leads us
to see that truth is ever mightier than
falsehood; and justice in the end is
mighuer than all power or craft of
earth. Easter tells rs that tine tri-
umph of brute force is only momen-
tarily, it tells us that the ruling con-
trolling force in THIS world is spiritual.
Easter lifts our eyes from the disap-
pointments of time to the satisfying
conclusion of all noble living. Easter
bids us remember that God lives and
rules this world, not PLATE or Caesar.

troy. The Christ, they would sacri-

imperishable things of time and eter-
nifty. If the motives of this American
nation are sincere, pure and disinter-
ested, it may rest assured that this
cross of war which it must bear, will
only end in the overthrow of the pow
ers of death, even as the day of resur-
rection followed close upon the day of
crucifixion.
