The Easter Anniversary

first Easter morning When the
devoted women went down to the
tomb of the Lord upon their mis-
sion of love, it was given to them to
hear the announcement from an
angel that was to turn the tide of
history and to give impetus to the
movement of uplifting men that is
still Gathering force today. Jesus
was great teacher and He gave to
the world its best principles and
precepts. But there have been 9TH
er good teachers of morals and re-
ligion. and who kHows but that His
teachings would not have perished
with Him if He had not risen from
the dead and become the living in.
spiration for the millions who were
to come after him. Herein lies the
distinctive difference between
Christ and other teachers and be-
tween Christianity and other codes
of morals and religion. Christian
worship is directed toward a person
and does not consist in veneration
OF dead leader and slavish adher-
ence to rule of life or set of regu.
lations. Above all Christianity is
not a philosophy, but a life, draw
ing its inspiration from a living
Christ, and having universal ap.
peal because it speaks the lam
euaee of love.
Such religion can not be beat

ilciiuren maintains steadfast its be.
lief in the resurrection it can not
be conquered by alltbe hosts ofevil
The resurrection of Christ was
the supreme victory of the ages and
not even was the overwhelming de-
feat 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 nations of the world with the
love of humanity. of human broth
erhood and justice, there would be
none to sacrifice themselves today
against the most powerfully organ.

ty the world has known.
The hope inspired by the resur
rection of Christ has lifted the ma.
tions gradually but surely out of the
welter of selfishness. If there were
no future we might as well not
make the sacrifices, and the strong
est might 90 his way as in the brute

Not since the early days of the
church has the doctrine of the res
direction and the future life been
so strongly vindicated as in the
present time when millions of free
men voluntarily gave up their lives
, for the great Christian principles
underlying the establishment of free
nations. Rushing in to do theil
duty, they calmly trusted the future
to Cod Fatalism could never make
the fight for liberty and justice
that civilization is making today
Only the Christianity of the resur
rected Christ is capable of inspiring
the effort.

day of the year. In the wealth of
flowers that adorn altars, in the
music of choirs and the praise of
the children in their exercises are
found the manifestation of the joy
of hearts overflowing with the hap.
piness of a renewed hope of life. It
is the anniversary of the deliver
ance of the greatest message of hope
the world has ever received, sum-
med 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
immortality 1t seems to be an in
herent quality in humankind. The
doctrine of the resurrection is not
entirely new one. Even the pagan
before US had a glimpse of the truth
and was moved to recognize it in
his own way. Nature herself pro-
claims the doctrine and in every
bursting bud of springtime and the
new songs of the birds we read 6
confirmation of our belief in
future life. Nature rejoices along
with men in realization of the
glory of life, for that which was
dead is alive again.
But while we see in nature the
symbols of the great truth of the
resurrection and delight in the
pleasing processes of the breaking
forth Of new life in the natural
world. the Christian has something
deeper anu Rmofe firm than nature
upon which to base his relief OF im-
mortality. The materialist may seek
TO read his future 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 be.
Ca me 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
food of light upon the gates of eter-
nifty, which illumined the way for
all and settled the question of i'm.
mortality forever -
1t is but natural that the anniver.
sary of such day should be cele-
brated 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 minister to the esthetic
sense should not be allowed to over
shadow the appeal to the spirit. II
Easter brings no heartening mes

cares. no inspiration to take hold ol

value.
The message that Easter brings
TO the individual has very direct
bearing upon his life. for what one
believes about the future life may
largely determine his character, and
even his eternal destiny. One may
even 90 further and say what a ma.
ton believes about the hereafter de-
