OF INTEREST IN THE
SOCIAL REALM
Earliest Easter Hymn
CfU6 Is the very day of
God.
Serene with holy light It
came,
In which the stream of
sacred blood
Swept over the world's
crime and shame.
Oh, admirable mystery,
Che sins of all are laid on
thee,
Hnd thou to cleanse the
world's deep stain
Hs man doth bear the sins
of men.
QKhat can be ever more
sublime ?
Chat grace might meet the
guilt of time
Love doth the bonds of
fear undo
Hnd death restores our
life anew.
—St. Hmbrose.
EASTER—A PROMISE KEPT.
Easter is a promise fulfilled. It
stands pre-eminent as a season of re
newed hope, endowed with a stupen
dous significance to a Christian people,
symbolizing an open door to immor
tality through which mankind catches
glimpses of life eternal.
Through ages of doubt and idolatry
the people looked for a coining Saviour,
and even through the agony of the
(crucifixion Jesus’ promise to his fol
jknrsn permeated the darkness, illu
minating the gloom with the hope of
Jtis resurrection. •
Back through t%e vtata of time: The
betrayal of Jesus. The crucifixion.
Darkness veils the face of the earth.
The burial of Jesus. The stone rolled
back from the sepulcher. The resur
motion. Angelic sentinels stand guard
at the deserted tomb of the risen Loid.
Mary Magdalene seeking the Lord.
Christ’s admonition and divine assur
ance, "Fear not” Calvary interpreted.
Death transfigured. Life eternal-
Christ triumphant
Winter, with her hoarfrost and bit
ing winds, throws off her Icy mantle,
and nature substitutes a brighter garb
of vivid green, and the celebration of
the resurrection of our Lord is ushered
in by the gladness of spring.
Joy, Joy, joy; come, come, come; re
sound the melodious voices from the
sonorous throats of the church bells.
The hospitable church door stands in
vitingly open to adt.lt the motley
throng, wending Its ways to the sanc
tuary, from whose bedecked interior
the queenly lily and stately palm nod
a welcome to all. The atmosphere pul
sates with rejuvenated hope.
The organ throbs with joy and thun
ders forth her welcome to all in a glad
anthem of triumph. Tbe subtle per
fume of flora envelops all in com
memoration of Christ’s glorious resur
rection, while worshipers Join with
the celestial host in a triumphant
chorus: "Christ is risen! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Christ is risen!”—Carrie
Adele Van Wickle.
RESURRECTION’S SIGN.
It Is told Of the great Teacher that
be was approached and told that if he
would but manifest a sign to prove his
divine origin he would be accepted. He
replied that if the signs and miracles
which were in evidence all around
were not sufficient no others would be
given^
It would seem that then, even as now.
man in his egotism demanded more
proof of a self evident fact. Today our
scientists are trying to explain the
phenomena which surround us, and
the more they try the more do they
demonstrate their own gross Ignorance
to every one but themaelves. We boast
that we are the masters of electricity,
yet no two of even tbe most advanced
of our scientists are agreed as to the
nature, origin or final destination of
9iir so cnlied servant.
We bill'd structure* which we fondlv
believe will endure for all time, and
we boast thaf we have studied and
mastered the natural laws, so that we
can defy nature herself, and In that
moment nature stirs, takes an extra
long breath, and these mighty build
ings crumble Into dust, and man's
works disappear from the face of the
earth.
It is well that we should have days
like this of Easter to check us for even
a moment in our headlong course in
pursuit of the more sordid things of
life. Such days are in the nature of
resting places where we can refresh
ourselves with the purer, clearer air of
better things and gain strength, hope
and new life from the realization that
there is something more in life besides
the sordid daily routine, the struggle
for the few dollars which are essential
to the continuance of the inestimable
privilege of toiling and sweating from
one clay to another.
