DARKNESS TO LIGHT
A dark day—that Friday—
so dark!
Earth trying to quench her
best light.
Three crosses rise on Calvary’s
height—
Three crosses on a hill—so
stark
Against the sky.
Some love is there—for women
kneel
To pour their tears on bleed
ing feet;
Hushed voices kindly words
repeat,
And seek their fading hopes
to heal,
By keeping nigh.
Yes, prayer is there, and sav
ing power:
Christ calls his Father to for
give
These men who dare not let
him live,
And in that very dying hour—
Takes home a friend.
0 yea, ’tis dark! And evil
seems
To triumph, sin laughs out in
scorn.
“He cannot save himself,” they
warn,
And mocking rail, “Forget
your dreams—
This is the end,”
One more dark day, while dear
friends sighed,
Then earth’s brightest begins
to dawn.
Easter light and glory shine
upon
An empty tomb! And He who
died,
Now lives anew'!
“But the cross,” they cry,
“They killed you?”
“The cross atones for sin’s
deep stain,
1 laid life down to take it
again.
Look back, it glow's with prom
ise true!
Because 1 live, ve shall live
too!” —B. H. NUNN
MY GARDEN
By ALICE D. WIMBERLY
My garden! Tis a favorite haunt
Where I may go for comfort
In my solitude
No evil thought have I here
Nor tendency
The flowers awaken the best
in me
lam all that my soul yearn:
to bo
When I am in its bounds.
My garden! ’Tis a tr ‘nsure rat e
Of priceless worth to me
The lily in its purity
Offers me security
And when my eyes become ab
sorbed
In the beauty of the ros >
Mv heart is grieved that I should
feel
Desolate and alone.
My garden! ’Tis a part of me
We are both attuned to har
mony
It arouses my soul
To the purposeful whole
And I am all that 1 hope to be
When I am in its bounds.
Lord, I thank thee for a garden.

THE SEPULCHER: TRIUMPH
OVER DEATH
LESSON TEXT—Matthew *1:57—28:0.
GOLDEN TEXT—But now Is Christ risen
from the dead, and become the flrstfrulU of
them that slept.—l Corinthians IS:20.
The Inspiration and spiritual re
newing of Easter day comes to us
again. How thankful every Chris
tian should be for this day of re
membrance of our Lord’s triumph
over death. How much we should
praise God that the day for us who
are His disciples is not one of out
ward display but of inward revival.
May this Easter bring a real
quickening to the Church.
In our series of lessons in Matthew
we have followed our Lord in His
life and ministry on through Geth
semane to Calvary. Today we find
loving hands giving themselves in
what they thought to be the final
act of devotion to their Lord, and
we also see the hands of wicked
men active in what they thought was
a final act of hatred. Then sud
denly the Lord Himself breaks
through in resurrection power.
I. Love Is Kind (27:57-61).
The women, whose devotion to
their Lord never wavered, were
joined in the final act of taking the
body of Jesus from the cross and
burying it by two secret disciples
of the Lord who now came out
into the open, Joseph of Arimathea, j
a member of the Sanhedrin (Luke j
23:50, 51), and Nicodemus (John
19:39, 40). It was a courageous
act on their part and undoubtedly
the expression of their great love
for Jesus.
The two Marys seemed to have
stayed to watch the grave even after
Joseph had gone to his home. The
death of Jesus may have crushed
their hopes, for they apparently did
not recall His promise of resurrec
tion, but they still loved Him. After
all, is not that the ultimate and es
sential mark of a disciple, love for
our Lord? Faith njay waver, hope
deferred may make the heart sick
with discouragement, but neverthe
less we will follow the example of
those disciples and never let our
love for Him grow cold. In due
season such faithfulness finds a glo
rious reward.
11. Hatred Is Relentless (27:62-
66).
The wicked men who had brought
about the crucifixion of Jesus were
not content to let their hatred of
Him die at the grave. They lusted
after His life and they had taken
that, but even as He lay silent in
the grave, the priests and the Phari
sees came to Pilate and called Him
“that deceiver” (v. 63) and demand
ed a special guard. They feared
that His disciples would perpetrate
a fraud, and after stealing the body
declare that He was risen. Wicked
and deceitful hearts can imagine all 1
sorts of treachery on the part of
otliers.
The hatred of unbelievers toward ‘
Christ and toward His followers
knows no stopping place. In civi
lized lands and among cultured peo
ple it operates under a cloak of
respectability, but it is none the
less bitter and relentless in its pur
suit of Him and of His Church.
Observe that while the chief
priests and Pharisees acted in
hatred and unbelief, they unwitting
ly did the cause of Christ n great
service by demanding the guard
over the tomb. They made it for
ever impossible for any charge of
fraud to be successfully made
against the truth of the resurrec
tion.
111. Christ Is Triumphant (23:1-6).
Victory and praise should be the
keynote of Christianity. Why should
we be doleful and sad? Our Lord
has come back victorious from the
grave! We may be glad and sing
even in the midst of earth’s sorrows
and distresses. Let praise be the
employ of our lips constantly as we
worship Him and work for Him.
The picture that greeted the sur
prised eyes of the two women as
they came to the grave as it began
to dawn on the first day of the week
was one resplendent with the glory
and majesty of God. The earth
quaked as the lightning and white
angel of the Lord broke through the
unbreakable seal of Rome and rolled
back the stone which was to have
permanently closed the door to the
tomb. This was done, not to release
Christ—for He had already gone, no
grave could hold Him—but that men
might see the empty grave and
know that He was risen.
To the foes of Christ represented
by the keepers, the coming of the
angel and the revelation of the
power of God brought absolute dis
comfiture. That is still true. Men
will argue with theology, church
methods, even Christian profession,
until they see the power of God re
vealed, and then they can only be
“as dead men.”
To the friends of Christ the angel
brought comfort and assurance.
Their fears were assuaged by his
word of comfort, and then their faith
was revived by the assurance that
Christ was risen. The resurrection
declares that He is the Son of God
with power, the Saviour of the world.
