NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE = SOCIAL REALM EASTER Voice of Mankind, sing over land and sea— Sing, in this glorious morn! The long, long light is gone from Calvary— The cross, the thong and thorn; The sealed tomb yields up its saintly guest, No longer to be burdened and oppressed. Heart of Mankind, thrill answer to His own, So human, yet divine! For earthly love He left His heavenly throne— For love like thine and mine— For love of us, as one might kiss a bride, His lifted lips touched death’s, all satisfied. Soul of Mankind, He wakes—He lives once more! O soul, with the heart and voice Sing! sing!—the stone rolls chorus from the door— Our Lord stands forth.—Rejoice! Rejoice O garden-land of song and flowers; Our King returns to us, forever ours! JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY. Anent April Brides Marry in April when you can; Joy for the maiden and the man.
