Therein lles tile message .. easter !:
the promise of Immortality beyond the
tomb.
Nor Is 1t mere coincidence that
Easter falls at this season. Spring
Is simply Natures way of relterating
the Easter message. Through the long
winter months the world of Nature
has seemed asleep In death. Trees
bare, fields destitute, death appeared
to reign supreme.
Then, just as we are almost wea
ried enough to give up hope, the sap
begins to run, little green things to
shoot, birds to chirp as cheerily as
ever.
1t Is Natures message of immortal
ity to the world of humanity.
There is another and wider aspect
of the Easter message. We seem to
be standing by the tomb Of much that
is holy. Religion, belief In principle,
ideallsm, how dead they seem to be!
Seeking only material things, neglect
full OF things OF the spirit, the world
is in parlous state. The few who
have held their beliefs look about In
perpleXity and dismay. Has the very
body of the faith been removed? All,
no. In the midst of our anxious grief
comes the reviving, heartening assur-
ance: "He Is not dead; He is risen"
Ever the Easter festival comes
around--after the inevitable Agony
and every spring the magic words are
spoken and we 90 forth clad in inyul
