a philosophy, but a life, drawing its
inspiration from a living Christ, and
having a universal appeal because II
speaks the language of love.
Religion ImperishabIe.
Such a religion can not be beaten"
1t has all the qualities of the imper.
ishable, and so long as the church
maintains steadfast its belief in the
resurrection it can not be conquered
by all the hosts of evil.
The resurrection of Christ was the
supreme victory of the ages, and not
even was the overwhelming defeat
of the Hun hosts battling on the
western front a greater one. For
we may say that if Jesus Christ had
not lived and died as He did and had
not risen from the dead and had not
inspired the men of the great free
nations of the world with the love of
humanity, Of human brotherhood and
justice, there would be none to sac
rifice themselves today against the
most powerfully organized system OF
greed and inhumanity the world has
known.
The hope inspired ~ the resurrec'
ton of Christ has lifted the nations
gradually but surely ont of the wei.
ter of selfishness. If there were no
future we might as well not make the
sacrifices, and the strongest might g.
his way as in the brute world.
Not since the early days of the
church has the doctrine of the resur-
rection and the future life been so
strongly indicated as in the present
time when millions of free men vol
unfairly gave up their lives for the
great Christian principles underlying
the establishment of free nations.
Rushing in to do their duty, they
calmly trusted the future to God.
Fatalism could never make the fight
for liberty and justice that civiliza-
tion is making today. Only the Chris
, tianity of the resurrected Christ is
capable of inspiring the effort.
II was great day for the world
when the angelic choir announced to
shepherds the birth of the Savior, but
1t was a greater day when this same
Savior rose victorious over the grave
and gave to mankind the hope that
has carried them onward and upward
! and will continue to bear them as they
approach to the perfection of their
! Master.

is custom which is said by some to
90 back to the eating of cakes in
honor of Easter, the goddess of light,
among the pagan Saxons; by others
it is traced even further back TO a
very ancient Egyptian custom. How
ever that may be, 1t was enthusiastic
cally embraced by the English peo-
pie. AT Chelsea there were two noted
bun houses, each claiming to have
been patronized by the king, to which
the people hocked for miles around on
Good Friday 10 stand under sort
of porch or shed and eat of the ia
nous buns. The custom of eating hot
cross buns on Good Friday has in re-
cent years become almost universal in
this country. In the village Of Sussex
in England, the playing of marbles is
considered a Good Friday duty by
young and old, although just what con-
nection 1t has with the meaning of the
day is lost in the folklore of the past.

even his eternal destiny. One may
even go further and say what ma
ton believes about the hereafter de-
termines the character of its govern
rnent in it's practical dealing at home
and abroad, and the character of the
national life. The man or nation that
is not restrained by the feeling that
there is another world in which there
will be higher justice and con-
tinued life of some sort. is dangerous.
Passing over the strictly religious
element in the resurrection of Christ
momentarily, let us remember that
history was made on that first Easter
morning. When the devoted women
went down to the tomb of the Lord
upon their mission of love, 1t was given
to them to hear the announcement
from an angel that was to turn the
the movement of uplifting men that
is still gathering force today. Jesus
was a great teacher and He gave to
the world its best principles and pre-
cepts. But there have been other good
teachers of morals and religion, and
who knows but that His teachings
would not have persisted with Him If
He had not risen from the dead and
become the living inspiration for the
millions who were to come after him.
Herein lies the distinctive difference
between Christ and other teachers
and between Christianity and other
codes of morals and religion. Chris
tian worship is directed toward per-
son and does not consist in veneratt,n
of dead leader and slavish adne.-
enee to a rule of life or set of regu-
lations. Above all Christianity is net

Brinqs Message OF Hope.

Let us each catch fresh vision OF
thee. O Christ We each need 1t,
Our upward way has been beset by
fears and many obstacles. Some OF
us need to go with thee to the mount
called Calvary, and there have our
hearts made tender and soft again !;
have the bitterness taken away. Some
of us need to walk out on the road
to Emmaus, till one shall come and
walk with us, and speak to us, till
our hearts shall burn within us, ana
we be purged and heartened to do thy
will. Some need to stand with the
men of Israel of old on Mount Olivet,
md gaze after our ascending Lord,
till we hear the angelic voices say,
"Why stand We thus gazing? The
same Jesus shall return again, even
as We see him go;' till the promise
of our coming Lord shall clear all
shadows from our lives. and we live
in the glory that shall be, forgetful
of the present and its ills. Whatso'
ever our need, may 1t be supplied.

The use of Easter eggs is common
a symbolic tradition of the primitive
church. 1t is explained in various
ways. The most probable theory is
that because of the phenomenon Of
Matching it was chosen as symbol
of the resurrection. At first the Eas-
ter eggs We're taken to the temple and
blessed by the priest, and then distrib-
uted to ones friends and family. But
after awhile they came to stand mere
ly for a festival, when they could eat
the eggs that had been denied them
during Lent. 1t is impossible to say
when the first mention is smade of
Easter eggs.

there is much to live for. The Eas-

Only One Possible Life eiver.

1t is certain that strong belief in
the resurrection was the chief strength
of the early church and its preaching
encouraged the early converts to en-
dure all things. "A dead Christ might
have been teacher and wonder work
er, and remembered and loved as such.
But only Risen and Living Christ
could be the Savior, the Life and the
Life Oliver to all men,"

The love of life is In your breath.
Love OF life more strong than death.

Father, let me In Thy sight
Be In soul as pure and white
AS these lily petals bright;
Like them out of dross untold
Lift to Thee heart of gold
When Thy light bids them unfold,

Blights them, meekly pass away
To bloom again some fairer day.

oh, If our vision bounded were

ut. PAUL proves the Resurrection from
the historical fact and by the absurd.
y ity which follows from denial of it;
and then he shows that so proved ii
is only parallel to q thousand daily facts by
the analogies which he draws from the dying
and upsprinsing corn, and from the diverse
glories of the sun, and moon, and stars.
Let US distinguish, therefore, between the
relative value of these arguments. We live,
il is true, in a world filled with wondrous
transformations, which suggest to US the
likelihood OF our Immortality. The cater
pillar passes into the butterfly, the
snowdrop dies to rise again, spring leaps to
life from the arms of winter, and the world
reioices in its resurrection. God gives US all
this merciful assistance to our faith. But il
is not on these grounds that our belief rests.
These are not our proofs: they are only
considerations and illustrations for il does
not follow with certainty that the body Of
man shall be restored because the chrysalis,
an apparent corpse, still lives. No: we fetch
our proofs from the Word Of God, and the
nature Of the human soul; and we fetch
our probabilities and illustrations from the
suggestive world of types which lies all
around us.-F. w. Robertson.

Brouqht LIGHT to World.

But while we see in nature the SYM
bols of the great truth of the resur-
rection and delight in the pleasing
processes of the breaking forth of
new life in the natural world, the
Christian has something deeper and
more firm than nature upon which to
base his belief of Immortality. The
materialist may seek to read his flu
ture in the natural world but the
Christian derives his chief hope from
a different source, a source no less
than the message from God himself.
When Jesus broke the bonds of death
and became "the first fruits of them
that slept" He at the same time be-
came the hope of all humanity. Be
fore Him, the way was dark and
shrouded in mystery, but on that first
Easter morning He threw a flood of
light upon the gates of eternity, which
illumined the way for all and settled
The question of Immortality forever.
1t is but natural that the anniver-
sary of such a day should be celebrat-
ed with various manifestations of joy,
but amid the songs and the flowers
and the pageantry of our celebrations
the great motive of the day should
not be lost sight of. Things that min
lister to the esthetic sense should not
be allowed TO overshadow the appeal
to the spirit. If Easter brings no
heartening message to soul wearied
with worldly cares, no new inspiration
to take hold of the things worth while
with firmer grip, no new feeling of
citizenship in the eternal, our songs
and flowers and pomp and pageantry,
however beautiful, are Of momentary

THE RISEN CHRIST
Easter Always Anniversary of De-
Iiverance of Wonderful
Message of Hope.

~@HE joy of the Christian soul
is expressed at Easter in
such a volume of song as
rises upon no other day of
the year In the wealth of flowers that
adorn affairs, in the music of choirs
and the praise of the children in their
exercises are found the manifestation
of the joy of hearts overlooking with
the happiness of renewed hope of
life. 1t is the anniversary of the de-
liverance of the greatest message of
hope the world has ever received,
summed up in the three little words !:
"He Is Risen" 1t is the Christian
"victory day"-Easter.
Most men everywhere at all times
have had some sort of idea of immor-
tality. 1t seems to be an inherent
quality in humankind. The doctrine
of the resurrection is not an entirely
new one. Even the pagan before us
had a glimpse of the truth and was
moved to recognize II in his own way.
Nature herself prOclaims the doctrine
and in every bursting bud of spring
time and the new songs of the birds
we read a confirmation of our belief
in n future life. Nature rejoices along
with men in realization of the glory
of life. for that which was dead is
