the significance of one of the funda-
mental and inevitable facts of exist
ence. 1t is conceivable that all other
red-letter days may be abolished from
our calendars, that the calendar it
self may be done away with. But, no
matter what may happen, SO long as
human life exists on this earth, the
spirit of Easter will survive. When
it ends, then ends all hope for man.
kind, all reason for mankind's strug-
gle TO exist.
If resurrection" is the spirit and
the message of Easter, then the Utmost
essence of that spirit can be summed
up in the one word immortality"
If man can find an answer to the old,
old question that has troubled him
through the ages, the question Does
death end all?" he can find it in the
message of Easter. 1t is reinsurance
that the struggle to live is worth
while and that he does not face
hopeless task. Even if he did not
have the comfort of his religion TO
help him arrive at that belief. he finds
it in the mere fact of living. Each
day, each year and each lifetime he
sees the cycle repeated. The sun
comes up in the morning and goes
down into darkness at night. But he
knows that it will come up again the
next morning. Each "a hours he sees
the miracle of resurrection. New life
is manifest in the animal and yege-
table kingdoms with each recurring
spring. 1t ripens in the heat of sum-
mertime and mellows into maturity in
the autumn, only to die in the cold
of winter. But he knows that life
will begin again next spring. Each
u months he sees the miracle of res
direction. A baby is born, passes
through childhood, grows into youth,
reaches mans estate and then declines
into old age. What If the darkness of
away? He has seen the recurring mir
acle of resurrection every "a hours
and every u months. Why should not
man, reasoning logically from this
evidence of which he is aware every
day of his life. believe that the cycle
of q lifetime includes resurrection
just as does the daily cycle and the
yearly cycle? He does so believe and
from that belief comes his belief In
the life everlasting, in Immortality.
Perhaps it would be more accurate
to say he chooses to believe. For few
men, IL any, have ever solved the rid
die Of life to their utter satisfaction
They constantly grope for the truth,
seeking, always seeking. the answer to
the unsolved problems of life. They
have the never-ending longing in their
hearts for everlasting life and they
choose to believe, and take comfort
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-03-29

from the belief, that they shall have it.
So whether he be primitive man or
modern, civilized man, whether he be
Christian or heather, the essential
spirit of Easter, the message of East
er is the same-it is a message OF
hope, message of joy and prom
Use and a fulfillment in one. That
message is delivered TO man in many
forms. Ii comes TO him in the riot OF
bird songs which greet the sun on
every morning in spring. 1t comes TO
him in the greenness of the grass, in
the swelling buds on the trees, in the
flowers which push their way up
through the earth when the warm
ing touch Of the sun is laid upon it. It
comes to him in the softness Of the
blue sky, in the feecy clouds floating
above him and in the gentle careSs
of the DIeeZes that touch his face
as he goes forth TO start each days
work. 1t comes to him. too, as he
watches young animal life about him
lambs, calves and colts wabbling about
unsteadily at first and then, as they
gain strength, running around in those
funny, awkward, stiff-legged little
jumps which are always so fascinat-
ing to watch.
1t comes to him every minute Of
the day as Nature, in all her forms,
cries cut exultingiy Spring has comet
Spting has Gomez Even if she did
not tell him in those words, he would
know ii himself-in the surge of new
strength in his own body, in the quick
ening of his blood after its winter
sluggishness As he hears the call Of
spring and the message of Easter he
feels the desire TO pass the message
along. He passes it along in as many
ways as it comes TO HMM the happy
friends, in the little snatches of song
which. he finds himself singing and in
the effort wL;ch be makes constantly
to put that message into words.
So in addition to the visible. tan
gible symbols of Easter, it also has it's
invisible. intangible symbols. You can
not "see" or touch" happiness. but
you know there Is such a thing and
Easter is tie one time in the year
when that happiness is inherent in
all of US. Christmas, of course. Is also
time Of happiness. but our participa-
ton in its joys is dependent upon
others. Its joys are the joys of giving
and the Joys of receiving. The joy
of Easter is q more personal, intimate
thing. Regardless of others. we can
know its Jews. for they lie within US.
They are the joys of living and the
joys of knowing that life is everlast-
ing. For thar knowledge, too. is the
spirit of Easter.

Ev.nxeiistie Symbols

In the Fifth century the Four
Beasts which had already been used
as embIems of the = ar Archangels
and the Four Great Prophets were
adopted as symbols of the Evangelists.
and two centuries later these curious
creatures were universally employed
as symbolic Of these four saints. AT
first they were simply smblems of the
Evangelists. BIT after St Jerome
wrefe of the Vision of Ezekiel. each
of these beasts was assigned to a par
tieuIar saint To St Matthew vas
given the eherub. or winged human
face: to st. Mark. the lion; to ST.
Luke. the OK: and ts-dt John. the
eagle.

them are based upon the same fanda-
mental principle. To the Christian
world, it is the anniversary of the
resurrection Of Jesus. But that does
not mean that the essential spirit of
Easter means something to one part
of humanity, set off from the re-
mainder by a religious belief, and
that they have a monopoly upon the
joys of the Easter season. For Easter
has a universal significance and the
keynote of 1t lies in the idea of
resurrection"
Look at the word ftself-Easter. II
Is derived from the word East, and
East is one of the four cardinal points.
1t is also the cardinal point which has
always been most important in all
religious ceremonies of all races and
creedS. This is because it is the part
of the heavens where the sun is seen
to rise-the sun, bringer of light and
heat, the very giver of life itself! The
most primitive intelligence of the most
primitive man recognized the fact that
the sun and life were inseparably as
ISOLATED and it was only natural that
when he came to worship the thing
which was greater than he, he should
turn TO the East whence came that
greater and higher thing which he
recognized as being the life giving
power.
So each day was to him a cycle of
whole lifetime. In the morning as the
sun came up, life came into being.
As the sun mounted In the heavens
life grew in its lusty youth and in
creased in power. At its zenith, life,
too, was at its highest point. As the
sun declined, so life declined into
old age, into weakness, until there
came darkness, the synonym for death.
After period of darkness, life came
again. There was a resurrection and
once more, the cycle of a lifetime
compressed into "a hours, there was
ifei
And that, stripped of all the tradi-
tion, myth, legend, custom and social
practice that has attached itself to
Easter, is the spirit of Easter, all con-
centrated in the one word .resurrec-
tion." So Easter has a significance
that no other red-etter day on our
calendars has and that significance is
