THOUGHTS FOR FASTER -TIDE
Many of the Psalms of David are
filled with beautiful and great
thoughts; the recognition of God's
love, mercy and the greatness of his
works; but, beautiful as these are,
they do not move us so much as those
in which the soul of the man cries
out in agony of body or mint]. here
we find common ground. David is
no longer a Icing, who reigned hun-
dreds of years ago, or a poet who
wrote some of the greatest poems the
world hes ever known; he is rather a
suffering human being, who, in his
distress, feels that he le alone in the
world, with no help in sight, He
feels that God has either forgotten
him, or else is punishing him for his
sins.
"Thou hast laid me in the low ,st
pit. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me;
Thou hast afflicted me with all Thy
waves. Why hidest Thou Thy face
from me?" All these are real hu-
man cries, cries that go up from the
souls of men to -day when pant and
sorrow press heavily upon them.
There are other passages in the
psalms that come to us when the pain
is lifted, or the trouble is less poign.
ant; then we share in the psalmist's
gratitude, in his praise to God, "who
forgiveth all his sins and bealeth all
his infirmities."
When the pain is over we may be
willing to agree with the great Bur-
geon who speaks of it as a blessing.
Our joy comes in the great peace that
usually follows great pain; there is
weakness, but such a wonderful sense
of freedom. To rest quietly, know-
ing that the suffering is past, is a
great joy; enough for the present.
After we have been through an
ordeal of pain, anxiety or sorrow we
are very likely to realize, as we never
have done before, that our life here
is an incomplete one. We may have
thought quite differently until one of
these things came upon us so sudden-
ly that our whole outlook upon life
tions changed, Sometimes the years go
by with only a few outward changes.
Blessings may abound, and but flew
trials come to us; yet even if we are

!limitations of human life is brought
to our knowledge. No one can live;
on selfishly; all must recognize that
life cannot he one broad glare ofI
sunshine. There are lessons to be
learned, however, and joys to be'
known, even in the incomplete life,
and they have never been better ex-
presed, it seems to me, than in a more
I or less familiar poem, whose author
is, I regret to say, unknown to me:
If none were sick and none were sad,
What service could wo render?
I think if we were always glad,
We scarcely could be tender. --
Did our beloved never need
Our patient ministration,
Earth would grow cold, and mies, in-
deed,
Its sweetest consolation.
If sorrow never claimed our heart,
And every wish were granted.
Patience would die, and hope depart—
Life would be disenchanted.
•
The peace that follows pain—that
seems to me to be a thought especial-
ly suited for to -day, the day after
Good Friday, the day before Easter, a
halfway station between earth and
heaven. How well we remember the
expressions of peace upon the faces
of those who, having m suffered, g s d, have
been releaeed from further pain! Our
first thought upon gazing at those
quiet countenances has been the right
one—a feeling of thanksgiving that
the pain wee past and that peace had
taken its place.
Such a thought may have been in
the minds of Christ's faithful friends
when they laid Him away in the tomb
in the garden. They may have for.
gotten for the time being all the
promises He had made concerning
His resurrection. At that moment
they could think of Him only as a
dear friend, the, best they bad ever
had, who had undergone a bitter and
painful death, and was now released
from all suffering. They, too, may
have been grateful that peace had fol-
lowed pain.

Golden text, Matt. 20. 28.
Verse 32. A desert place—The
boat is their refuge when the pressure
of the crowd becomes too great, and
now, on some distant part of the
shore, they seek quiet and relief. They
have opportunity for conference con-
cerning the results of their mission-
ary tour and also to pl anfor their
future work. Luke says they went
to Bethsaida, the city on the east side
o£ the lake, but he calls it a "desert
place" (Luke 0. 10-12),
33. Sato them going . ran to-

barked from the boat. Saw a great

Easter.
Easter, the anniversary of Our
Lord's resurrection„ from the dead, is
one of the tiree great festivals of the
Christian year—the other two being
Christmas and Whitsuntide. Front
the earliest period of Christianity
down to the present day, it has al-
ways been celebrated by believers
with great joy, and is accounted the
queen of festivals. In primitive times
it was usual for Christians to salute
each other on the morning of this day
by exclaiming, "Christ is risen"; to
which the person addressed replied,
"Christ is risen indeed" or else, "And
hath appeared unto Simon"—a custom
still retained in the Greek Church.
The common name of this feast in
the east was the Paschal Feast, be-
cause kept at the same time as the
Pascua or Jewish passover, and in
some measure succeeding to it. In the
sixth of the Ancyran canons it is re-
ferred to as the Great Day. Our own
name Easter is derived, as some sup-
pose, from Eostre, the name of a
Saxon deity, whose feast was cele-
brated every year in the spring about
the same time as the Christian fes-
tival—the name being retained when
the character of the feast was chang-
ed, or, as others suppose, from 'Oster,
which Signifies rising, If. the latter
supposition be correct, Easter is in
name, as well as reality, the feast of
the resurrection.
Through there has never been any
difference of opinion in the Christian)
church as to why Easter is kept there
has been much as to when it should be
observed. Indeed the controversy last-
ed for many centuries and it was not i
until the Council of Nice in 325 de-
finitely settled the matter by decree-
ing the observance of Easter on the
Sunday following the Jewish passover
that thele was any harmony on the
subject. * Even this did not last for
long. The date, so far as, we are af-
fected thereby, was decided at Whitby,
England, in 664, when the centention

Hither, ye flowerets gay!
Hither, ye bouncing bunnies!
Listen to what I say!"
Over the hills they hurried,
Out of the field and wood,
Bunnies and blooms of April,
Whither the preacher stood.
There were the yellow jonquils;
There were the pansies blue;
There were the stately lilies;
There were the tulips, too.
Then to his congregation
Jack-in-the-pulpit said,
"Lo, it is Easter morning! "
Lift up every head!
Tell to the world your gladness!
Show it the while ye sing
Songs of the vanquished winter,
Victory songs of spring!
"Lo, it is Easter morning!
Go to the world, I pray,
Bearing the glorious message
Born of our Easter Dayl

Deep in the mould and the night!
Tell how ye burst in beauty

A pale green bud on each vine and

While lips repeat the wondrous story
Of a risen Christ, Death speeds away
In the clear bright dawn of Easter
