E A S T E R Easter, the one great day in

the life stream of the church. Easter, the mightiest miracle of the ages. Easter, the goddess of spring. Easter, the g l o r i o u s triumph over death. Easter, the Hallelujah of the church. Eas-ter, the day we commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Time and space are omitted in evidence for the authenticity of the day, proofs and assurance of life everlasting are purposely • : as trifling and unworthy the effort. The glory of the doc-trine of the resurrection is in evi-dence everywhere, behold the lulls and the fields testify to life after death, better and more wonderful than all evidences in nature is the throb, the joy, the hope of the human soul.

Centuries and centuries of burdens and disappointments have not quenched or dimmed the glow of the inner urge. r Christ arose, He lives, hope sees a star and listening love is lifted on a wing. With every succeeding generation more wonderful and more aston-ishing becomes the miracle of Golgotha.

If some evil geni could oblit-erate the hope of immortality, that lives anew this Easter Day, and leave the race hopeless and without the legacy of an inherit-ance, fadeless and deathless, if such were possible, the incentive of life itself in all its finer values would be paralyzed.

If Christ be not risen then is the church mocked and the Bible s ,ory is false and religion is re-duced to ethics and sociology. The most inspiring thought of the mightiest of the race is the tr i-umph of the Lord over death and the grave. The loftiest passion of the human soul, t he urge tha t lifts song or an them by instru-ment or by the human voice, the soul that leaps all bounds in pro-claiming its jubilant, exhilarant fa i th in this one glorious event in human history, namely, our Risen Lord.

Lay hold of this mighty truth, come out of your damp and cheerless grave. Come forth, my brother, and live. The hereaf te r is for those who stake their claim, Heaven is for whosoever will, the resurrected King is the King of those who own and serve Him. E te rna l life will bud and bloom in you if you will quit stifling and smothering it, give it a chance, f a r m it, encourage it, the germ of immortal i ty is within, let it grow.

Sorrowful ly and with aching hear t s we follow our best loved things to the tomb, we turn our faces home, it 's empty. Life on ear th is never the same, death robs us all here.

How refreshing then tha t once each year on Eas ter Day the t ru th of this lively hope sweeps across the earth and bids all people everywhere rejoice and

Our Minister, Rev. Hulme, ser-monized last Sunday evening on the subject: "Is Life Worth Liv-ing." The text was from the Book of James, chapter four. Though reading the whole chap-ter, special comment was made on that part of the fourteenth v o;'sc which reads "For what is your l i fe?"

To make life worth while Rev Hulme contended one must have (1) reasonably good health (2) a measure of prosperity and (3) happiness. He maintained that one might have health and pros-perity but lacking happiness life would not be worth while. Fin-ally, however, the idea was de-veloped that true and genuine happiness, which makes life worth while, will only come t o those who commit themselves a n d their ALL, to God's providence.

The Palm Sunday attendance of our Men's Class was 51. The ap-plication of the lesson to present day conditions and the many il-lustrations by practical local oc-currences made the hour not only interesting, but far too short.

Next Sunday in addition to the lesson and its application there will be a discussion of "The De-pression and the Outlook."

There should be a hundred men present at this meeting. Stow has them. You bring them out!

But if this blessed season brings A firmer faith in holy things; Assurance of a living Lord; A strengthening , of the tender

She wore no emblems of her sor-row, and the lilies and violets on her coat were like those she had worn every Easter since I had known her. When the great con-gregation rose to sing, she Sang softly the words: "The powers of death have done

their worst, But Christ their' legions hath dis-

Amidst the faces lined with suffering, re-bellion and despair, of the Easter congregation, they had seemed a miracle. "How can they?" men and women said to each other as they left the church. A fifteen-year-old boy walking home with his father from the church school said, "Dad, I guess Mr. and Mrs. L— really believe it, don't they." "Believe what?" said the father.
