Easter Observance by Churches.
(By Rev. W. H. Faust.)
I hope that my brethren will not
fit to withdraw fellowship from
because I think highly of ob
serving Easter in our churches. Last
v , ar in some of our denominational
Weeklies, the brethren waxed elo
quent in condemning the custom
tuat is growing more and more prev
alent, of observing this day which
they claimed was just a remnant of
heathenism, literally brought over
into the church bv the Catholics. Per
sonally, I have never been of the
opinion that we had all the tiuth,
and all that was good ourselves. I
have never been of the opinion that
we had all the truth, and all that
was good ourselves. I give the oth
er fellow the benefit'of any good that
he really has succeeded in obtaining,
and keeping. I can join in any ser
vice that perpetuates the truth that
Christ died for us, and rose again for
our justification, and is now seated
at the right hand of the Father, as
our Mediator. The resurrection of
Christ is the central thought around
which is grouped the eternal consu
pation of our salvation. It is stag
gering to attempt even to think of
this world without a risen Christ.
It is horrible to think of man’s con
dition minus an empty tomb yonder
in Palestine.
Bishop Gregory of Nyssa, about
380 A. D. tells of the throngs clad
in beautiful garments, of bright col
ors, who met to celebrate the day
that we call Easter, and how much
of joy it brought to those early
church members. Why should it not
bring joy to our souls today to think
of the risen Christ. So the custom
of wearing new garments, and gay
colors, is not by any means new’. If
the parties are able to wear them,
there is no good reason w r hy this
custom should not continue. When
Christ was here he w r ent to wed
dings, and at his triumphant entry
palm branches were spread for him
to ride over.
Bryant sings well:
“All that tread the globe are, but
a handful to the tribes
That slumber in its bosom. The hills
Rockribbed, and ancient as the Sun,
the vales, J ! I
“tretching in pensive quietness be
tween—
The venerable w-oods —rivers that
move
In majesty, and the complaining
brooks,
That make the meadows green; and
poured
Pound all old Ocean’s gray, and mel
ancholy waste,
Are but the solemn decorations all
Of the great tomb of man.’ 1 ’
For four thousand years in one
unbroken column the race of man,
in sunshine and in shadow, had filed
steadily on to the tomb without any
assurance of a materialistic nature;
that they w'ere to ever rise therefrom
f tit. at length comes the Christ and
soes into the horrible grave and
comes out victor, shouting to all
future generations: “Victory forever
more.” His resurrection is a proph
ecy °f ours and as he arose so, also,
shall we arise and be with him eter
nally.
There is no power on earth that
ran change the ealla to the rose.
This body of ours shall rise again,
an <i in our flesh shall we see God.
' ou ask me how it is possible for
Wl to raise this body of mine. I
know that it shall be raised and
Glorified. The book says so, EJxpe
-ence tells us that personality *8
r, vessary to existence, and that if
are to be with God forever and
known we shall have our distinct
"i pronounced persons, and that
•‘ho as Christ was recognized by the
ipies so shall we be recognized by
°‘" loved ones. For we shall be
■ w 'gnized by our loved ones. For
shall be like him. Hear it
brethren: we shall be like him. Does
thought of death haunt you, and
you to think and shudder.

tace, expressionless, and bla*k,
DDDDDDDDDDDD
And truant breath,
The narrow tufted bed, and sceut
Of drooping rose,
Were all a grim astonishment
Of future woes.
I thought of horrors to be passed
Upon the way.
My soul with trembling stood aghast,
Too late to pray.
But when I saw' her lying there
So calm and sweet;
With roses in her w~avy hair,
And at her feet;
With lillies of the valley spread
Upon her breast,
I quite forgot that she were dead,
Such peaceful rest.
Then came this hallowed thot: If she
Oould start so glad
Upon a journey that for me
.All terrors had,
Could I not seek that selfsame way
CFer down and fell,
And travel on without dismay,
And smile farewell.
J trusted in, I knew' not what, x
Perhaps in pelf;
She trusted God in all, and not
In pain-racked self.
And when I found, that Christ had
died, —
Lay cold, and still;
And rose, a body glorified,
By his own will, —
This thot like brightest sunshine fell
On me astray,
That Christ had come on earth to
dwell,
To show the way
Thro vale, and shadow —where he led
She followed on,
And felt secure as in her bed,
To rise atddarn.w r n.
And I—-well, I have grasped the truth
Their lives have taught.
And whether called in fading youth
Or age is naught;
For with a smile I’ll kindly greet
The coming dawn;
And where he leads with eager feet
I’ll follow on.’*
Then this from Mrs. Bradford, an
American poetess, bearing directly
on the theology and experience of
the day:
“Two thousand years ago a flower
Boomed lightly in a far off land
Two thousand years ago its seed
Was placed within a dead man’s han
! i. 1 I •’l:t| !i< 1 j
Before the Savior came to earth,
That man had lived, and loved and
died,
And even in that far off time,
The flower had spread its perfume
wide
“Suns rose and set, years came
and went;
The dead man kept his treasures
well;
Nations w'ere born and turned to dust
While life was hidden in that shell.
“The shrivelled hand is robbed at
last,
The seed is buried in the earth;
When, lo the life long bidden there
Into a glorious flower bursts forth.
Just such a flower in Egypt bloomed,
grew
Prom such a seed wdien buried low,
Just such a floweri n Egypt bloomed,
And died, two thousand years ago.
, I :. . I
I . '
“And will not he who watched the
seed
And kept the life within the shell,
When these he loves are laid to
rest,
Watch o”er their buried dust as well.
“And will not he from the sod
Cause something glorious to arise.
Aye, though it sleep two thousand
years,
Yet all that buried dust shall rise.
"Just such a face as greets you now,
Just such a form as here w*e bear,
Only one more glorious far will rise
To meet the Savior in the air
“Then will I lay me down in peace,
When called to leave this vale of
! tears.
For in my flesh shall I see God,’
E’en tbo I sleep tw'o thousand years.

DOUBLE SERVICE
AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Guaranteed 7000 Miles Service. Ab
lutely Punctureproof.
Double Service Tires are double th
thickness of the best standard make
tires.
This 100 per cent greater wearing
surface naturally gives that much
more mileage service. The average of
12 plies of tough fabric and one inch
surface tread rubber makes these
tires absolutely punctureproof.
These tires excel all others for
use in the country over rough and
rugged roads as well as on hard pave
ments. They are as easy riding and
resilient as any other pneumatic tire
: —the air space and pressure being
the same.
They are the most economical and
“care free’’ tires made and are used
where tires must be depended on and
tire trouble cannot be tolerated.
Many double service style tires are
in use in the United States govern
ment and European War service.
