LOVE IS GREAT
RULING FACTOR
In ALL life
The Rev. Line breaches
Powerful Easter Ser
mon.

To-day the world is alive with
melody of song" said the Rev. Fred
A. Line of the Central Universanst
Church on Easter Sunday morning
"a thousand voices proclaim that
God is love-" the Rev. Line said.
we look through the gates or love
into the heavens of peace ana Joy
and in another Easter season we
rest our vision upon the stars To-
ward which a whole world is moV-
ing in thought and life.
I'VE hear the welcome message
Christ is risen and with 1t comes the
blessed knowledge that there is no
death. The stone is rolled away
from the tomb and the song OF the
angels resound upon its wall
Love isthe great ruling pr1n-
cipIe Of life. Because of love man is
divine. Because love is at the
heart of this old world of ours we
strive on in the work which is ours
to accomplish, moving slowly DUE
surely toward the day of loves more
divine fulfillments.
Love Is Powerful
Love is all-powerful and eternal.
The conouests Of life are the con-
quests of love. Why has DR.. Greh'
fell with such heroism been DONG
the Masters work in Labrador? Be-
cause his heart is filed with q great
love for his fe1lowmen and he Is
endeavoring to express that love IN
service.
'Why has Judge Ben Lindsey
persevered in his service for the
boys and girls of Denver, extending
his influence to all the great cities OF
our nation? Because he sees the
man in the boy, and out OF love
serves the coming generation.
Paul could say, and now abideth
faith. hope, love, these three, but
the greatest of these is love, be-
cause he had experienced in his own
heart loves larger victory. why
are men and women in every walk
of life sacrificing, suffering,
struggling against the forces OF evil
for the triumph Of the right in
human hearts and lives?
Because they have caught the
spirit of a. great love, and are living
to exemplify it's principles that the
world may be blessed Of it's fruits.
Every great achievement of the
world has been born of love. More
over, every quickening of the spirit,
every renewed conservation of the
heart and life to a great purpose,
great service, means another victory
of love in human experience.
The Great Comforter
Love is the great comforter. Sor-
row lays it's hand upon Gods child.
The mother gives her little one into
keeping of one who said suffer the
little children and forbid them not
to come unto me, for of such Is the
kingdom Of Heaven
I'VE see the young man or the
Young woman called from the midst
of Iife's labors to enter into the serv-
ice of another realm of light and life

beyond the sunset to share in the
beauty and blessing of another
mornings sunrise. We stand by the
open grave with saddened hearts
and ask ourselves why and where
fore? But even as we grieve love
whispers to our soul and we lift our
eyes to rest our vision upon the
stars.
1--WE know that these loved ones
are not dead, but only gone before
to live out their lives amid the
blossoming flowers Of Gods other
where.
THE Easter lilies tell US story
of victory. Jesus has risen. He
lives today in your heart and mine,
and in the worlds growing life. Even
so, the dear ones who once walked
by our side and made bright our
homes. but who now smile upon
us from other worlds are yet with
us, helping, blessing, inspiring us
as we journey along life's way. And
in this blessed thought We find COM
