Members of the Moravian church
have a beautiful way of heralding
the Easter morning. AS soon as the
sun rises over those villages band
| of Moravian trombonists march
through the streets to announce the
newborn day. awake the horns
has come" is called from street to
street and to a wealth of music the
people throng to the church, greet
ing one another on the way. They
take up their positions in the
churchyard, forming large semi
circle. The service continues until
/, the sun is clear above the horizon.
Then the service is concluded with
a choral anthem.
In WinstonSalem, the annual
Easter-dawn service held by the
Moravians is perhpas the most cele-
brated religious service in the Car
olinas. For 167 years-ever since
the Moravians settled there-the
city has been awakened around o.
m. each Easter morning by the
sound of trombones, trumpets or
brass bands playing Easter music.
By $3.50 Salem square is jammed,
and the presiding bishop rises on
the steps of the old home church
and begins the resurrection litany.
The picturesque event attracts
multitude from far and wide. AS
the presiding bishop proclaims ''The
Lord Is Risen," there comes back
from nearly 10000 throats the an
swer, "The Lord Is Risen Indeed!"
The late Bishop Edward Rondthaler
had the distinction of conducting
this service for SO years.
Easter Saturday is a day Of joy
in Rome. The medieval belfries of
St. John Lutheran give the signal
and then from a thousand bells a
marvellous concert ascends to the
sky. Almost at the same hour an
other spectacle may be seen in the
streets Of the city. In every par
ish, priests in surplice and stole, ac-
companied by acolytes carrying holy
water, enter the homes to bring the
Easter blessing.

The Victorious Servant (Easter), /,
Acts 2:22-36, for Sunday, April II:
Easter is a great day because it
declares that in Gods revelation
through Christ the Importance of
the provision made to make effec-
tive the faith of Christian disciples
in every age. Here is Peters VIII
Messing message to a confused peo-
pie who could not understand the
great event of Pentecost.
v. %. Eye men of Israel, hear
these words: Jesus of Nazareth a
man approved Of God unto you by
mighty works, and wonders and
signs which God did by him in the
midst of you, even as We yourselves
know" Peter had good introduc-
ton to "Ye men of Israel Note
the emphasis on "hear." 1t is
fine art to hear we'll Absolute ap-
proval Of God settles the fact but
added to this were the "mighty
works and wonders and signs,
earthly testimony of Christ's divin-
ity.
V. %. Him being delivered up
by the determinate counsel and
foreknowledge of God, ye by the
hand Of lawless men did cruelty and
slay" While God foreknew the
tragedy of Christ's crucifixion this
did not excuse those who put Christ
to death since in his foreknowledge
there was a place for mans power
to will. Note the boldness OF Peters
words in contrast to the night OF
Christ's betrayal. The resurrection
mower had seized him.
v. "a. Whom God raised up,
having loosed the pangs of death;
because it was possible that he
should be holden of it." There are
physical pangs in death but some
thing happened by the fact OF
Christ's resurrection which loosed
the pangs, so that "there is no sting
in death" as we think of the Chris
tian soul There is no surprise
that Jesus arose. The surprise
would have been if he had not risen.
v. 25. For David saith concern
ing him, 1 beheld the Lord always
before my face; for he is on my
right hand, that I should not be
moved" Peter reinforces his mes
sage by quoting one of David's
Psalms which was believed by the
confused people in which the pro-
phetic note was sounded. 1t is on
high moral level that one can say
II beheld the Lord always before
my face" 4,
VS.. 26, 27. "Therefore my heart
was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;

moreover my flesh also shall dwell
in hope; because thou wilt not leave
my soul in Hades; neither wilt thou
give thy Holy One to see corrup-
tiOn." These words were uttered
as if spoken by the Lord himself.
He belongs to the highest realm and
the lower realm could not hold him.
He is at home with God.
V. 2S. "Thou madest known un-
to me the ways of life, thou shalt
make me full Of gladness because Of
thy countenance. The work of re-
demption was prophesied by David
and those who believed in David
ought to believe in the Christ.
There is no gladness comparable to
1.-The joy of salvation" Here is
where the title of this lesson car
ries meaning. There is nothing like
looking in the face of apparent de-
feat and with a smile count it a vic
tory.

id is both dead and buried, and his
sepulcher is with us unto this day.
Therefore being prophet, and
knowing that God had sworn with
an oath to him, that Of the fruit of
his loins, according to the flesh, he
would raise up Christ to sit on his
throne The fact that David was
dead proves that in these words ne
is speaking of another Another
proof of Christ being the Messiah
was that he was of the lineage Of
David. Again Peter declares that
David foresaw the Christ sitting
with God on his throne.
v. 81. "He foreseeing this spake
of the resurrection of the Christ,
that neither was he left IN Hades,
nor did his flesh see corruption"
Now Peter came to the real fact of
resurrection as taught by David.
1t never pays to dodge the essential
facts regarding Christ and his work
and will
V. 80. "This Jesus did God raise
up; whereof we all are witnesses.
Christ approved by God declared by
David is now declared by personal
witnessing. The great means of
propogating the Gospel today is by
Christian witnessing. We are wit
nesses for him or against him daily.
v. 33. Being therefore by the
right hand of God exalted, and hav-
ing received of the Father the
promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath
poured forth this which We see and
hear" Here was the explanation
of Pentecost. Here was the natural
deduction of Peters message. There
was no alternate explanation.
V. SO. "Let all the house of Israel
I therefore, know aSSuradlV that God
hath made both Lord and Christ,
this Jesus whom ye crucified."
Therefore is the sign of a proven
fact. Note Peters boldness in
pointing to his hearers as murder
ers. The truth must be told at any
cost.

What Is the Significance of Easter?
Easter points to the resurrection
Of Christ from which has come a
new release of power. There was
released a power in the tomb that
brought forth the living Lord and
this power was passed on to his fol-
lowers SO that Easter day immortal
ity shines forth effulgently.
Easter points out new valua.
tion of personality. Life is worth
while to him who sees Gods esti-
mate of man.
With the physical limitation of
life removed, man comes into a new
and higher freedom.
There is new moral and spirit
ual climate as a result of the resur-
rected Christ, whose presence is
made possible by His Spirit.
There is new race of men, cit
izens Of the kingdom of God that
possess the earth since that first
Easter morning which is the hope
of passing world.

SECREST'S PLAN APPROVED
BY WOOL GROWERS ASSOC.

For some time Congressman Bob
Secrest has been doing all he could
to prevent any reduction on wool
or woolen products, in connection
with the proposed trade agreement
voted against the reciprocal trade
agreements which made the ne
gotiations possible.
The Ohio Wool Growers coopera-
tive association of which L. j.
Palmer, is president, and l.. A.
Kaufman is secretary, commends
Mr.. Secrest's efforts as evident by a
letter under date of April 2, to Mr..
Secrest, as follows:
''On March Goth the Columbus
Dispatch carried an article on your
efforts to secure Secretary Hulls
cooperation in opposition to reduc-
ton in tariffs on woolen products.
We wish to commend you for your
efforts in behalf of the wool grow
ers and as the writer told you when
he talked to you in Washington we
believe that one reason for the un-
satisfactory market that exists to-
day is the fear on the part Of manu-
facturers that some reduction IN
tariff will take place. We are Of
the opinion further that if later in
the year negotiations are opened
with the dominion's, particularly
Australia, that they will act further
as depressant on the wool market.
We have received full assurance
that the government wool loan will
be made through the commodity
credit corporation and for the pres
ent we believe it will have favor
able effect in at least establishing a
better demand in the market. Again
thanking you for your efforts in our
behalf, I am, very truly yours, L..
A. Kaufman, Secretary"
