GUEST EDITORIAL

Christmas and Easter are two inn
portant festivals of the Christian
year. They are closely related. The
truths that they symbolic are much
the same; Christmas with its en-
phasiS on self giving, love. Easter
with its emphasis on love that is
sacrificial but triumphant
The supreme gift of love as ex-
pressed in Advent eventuates in the
supreme sacrifice of love on Good
Friday and is climaxed by its tri-
umphant Immortality on Easter. It
Is not easy to hold firmly to our
faith in the redeeming power of
love when the conduct of the whole
world seems to deny it when meek
ness is regarded as weakness and
only militant force is Triumphant: but
IN the long run there is no power
like the power of gentleness and
no energies that can compare with
the quiet forces of the spirit. His
tory may seem to record, as John
Ruskin said, twenty undoings to
one deed, twenty desolations to one
redemption" but eventually, history
takes account only of the noble and
the good Cruel generations pass
away into darkness. and oblivion
but unselfish and forgiving hearts
are long remembered. Humanity
still cherishes the memory of saints.
poets and prophets who exemplify
the triumph of the powers of the
spirit as against the powers of ply
steal force.
