NEWS 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.
