HE world places a premium
on attainment. It praises
the man who gets things
done. It erects hi sstatue In
our parks and public square*
that young manhood and
womanhood may catch Inspiration
from his life, and emulate his virtues.
Halls of fame give him fitting recog
nition und a large place. Music, lit
erature, all art immortalize him.
Historical text-books make him the
nero who led that others might follow.
Great men come In groups. Epochs
make them, and they make great
epochs. Each Is dependent on the
other.
Human greatness Is largely a matter
of attainment. A man Is great or
small according to what he Is able to
give the world. " But bis output must
show visible achievements and tan
gible results.
Now all of this Is well enough. No
fault can be found with such rewards,
except that greatness through attain
ment never tells the story. The whole
story cannot be related because there
Is much greatness of the heart. It Is
greutness not through doing, but In
being.
In the long last effort, rather than
attainment, is the greatness that
counts. To disregard effort Is to min
imize the very force that holds the
world together.
Many of the finest achievements of
our world are not lusting. They are
ephemeral. Books, schools and
churches, empires and great nations
huve all lived their allotted time, ac
complished their quota of good, and
then perished. Such achievements ara
not failures by any means, but any of
them may suffer the fate of oblivion.
But what about noble efforts? What
about character, and service, and right
eousness? What about example?
Easter Is the crowning Sunday of
the yeur because It teaches that lesson
year after year. It ever brings forth
the potent truth that the life eternal
is the life that knows God serves the
great teacher Who brought life and
Immortality to light, and finds life’s
deepest and truest meaning In serv
ice and worthy example.
There Is no death when things nre
considered In that light. The Eternal
life Is measured by the immortal
things of the spirit, and not by the mor
tal things of the llesh. It Is a matter of
quality, and not of quantity. It Is
Indestructible because It Is of God. It
lives for all time. Not long quiescent,
It Is ever alive and awake to the build
ing of the best world of which human
minds, and hearts, and hands, are
capable.
This Is life Eternal
1 This Is life Eternal. It Is the Joy
and triumph of the Easter morn.

Egypt believed as firmly us does me -
ern Christendom that for the ho.;, }
there Is no deuth.
Indeed, tlm memory of man rm
not back to the time when he did not
,ook forward to u hereafter and ex
press his belief In some way. This
belief, apparently, is inborn In human
consciousness, a characteristic of alt
the ages of the race.
The doctrine of the resurrection Is
not new. The pagan before the Chris-
liun era glimpsed the truth. Nature
proclaimed it to him in the bursting of
thn buds and the song of the birds In
Ihe springtime. In the seasons he read
a confirmation of his belief.
But the Christian, fortunately, ha*
something more than the pleasing *ym-
bols of nature to fortify and strengthen
his belief In Immortality. The mate
rialist may read his fate In the proc
esses of the natural world, but the
Christian finds his assurance la the
well-authentieatad, personally con
veyed message from the Creator Him
self.
Before Christ men merely speculated
on the future, prompted by their be
liefs and wishes. When He broke the
bonds of death and became “the flrat
fruits of them that slept,” He threw a
flood of light upon the gates of eternity
that forever solved the mystery and
illumined the way to the future for a!
mankind.
Easter, the anniversary of the resur
rection of the Son of God, bring* a
message of assurance and victory t*
every soul. It cheers with the procla
mation that all are citizens of the
eternal. It enables men to look across
the grave and hurl defiance at death.
With the proper understanding of thl*
divine message, the capability of men
becomes unlimited, for they know that
this life is only the beginning.
Without the courage that this day
Inspires, life would not be worth the
living.
