it brings the comfort of faith. It
IS the triumph Of good over evil
of truth over error. Of life over
death, Of the Eternal Goodness
over the forces Of evil.
There is no deeper human ex-
perience than the realization Of
the Empermanence of evil. 1t Is
that knowledge which will sustain
and support Us through the dark
days ahead. we know that ours Is
the ultimate Victory for we fight
on the side Of right.
Sorrow there is and suffering
and pain and loss, but beyond them
all is the glory OF the Easter morn
ing when the stone is rolled away.
In the words OF the old hymn.
Weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.
Easter is the eternal pledge Of
resurrection. The voice of the
prophet Job, paraphrased and set
to triumphant strains Of music,
still rings out: Il know that my
Redeemer lfveth-and because He
lives, I too shall live.
