Deep snow, following one of the worst blizzards of the season, which raged all day Saturday, greeted churchgoers on Easter Sunday, 1926. The snow plow was out early and added to the "Christmassy" appear- ance of the landscape. The weather was not cold, and the cheerful notea. of the robins and song sparrows, the cawing of crows and the honking of passing flocks of wild,geese on their way northward, all bespoke the key- note of Easter -new life, The attend- ance ,M the churches, was verylarge and special music and sermons prevailed. "All Bail. Be not afraid." St. Matt, XXVIII, 9, 10,, was the text of the sermon ;preached. fn St. Thomas' Church on Easter' morning, The rector, Rev. T.. H. 'Brown, said this was the. Master's greeting to His dis- ciples on the 3rd day after the cruci- fixion. It was the victor's 'proclaina- tion to His people of the hard fought fight. Lift up your heads yetimid ones, ye doubting ones. M1 hail.; fear not, ye trembling ones, all cause for fearis ndw gone forever. The grave is empty. Death is vanquished, The long sorrow and Death, of a Para- dise lost is this day forgotten in the Cloriotns trfttmnh of a Paradise regain- ed. All hail. Be not afraid. Hear.the sweet story once again: Very early in the morning on the first day ,of : the week, the holy women, Mary ;Magda- lene and the other Mary, had hast- • ened to the Sepu.chre where they Lac seen their behoved Master's body laid, on the dark evening of the crucifixion How long to them seem a ;the t rn until the Sabbath tis ende.l'. Thee all lay'in that Sepulchre They mus do the loving deeds for, the dee' which the approach of tite $abbati hod made i possible before. But'1 when they.reached'-. the Sepulchre, t was empty...' The dear body of Jesus ,was gone, and in the place the. Ang. of the Resurrection greeted them with the most wonderful news " H,• risen, go your way' tell his disciples And so they hurr from the; solemn spot struggling with' doubt and fear, probably hoping ,it was true, when .Jesus meets them, saying, "All hail; be not afraid:" Do you .wonder, dear brethren that • their hearts are- full of fear. Just think what. they had gone through the last few, days:. it was enough o snake any one afraid, The crucifixi n,' the mighty cry 'from Cheist as He gave` ' up the Ghost, 'amid •'the rending rocks, the earth- quake; they had seen the lifeless body taken down from the cross, every ter- rible detail of that awful time was branded on their memories. And now the Crucified Lord'stands .before them in - calm majesty. Oh, it was enough to make them afraid. Don't you think so' ? - Then they hear once again the Voice. they knew so well, speaking to them words of joyful sal- utation, "All hail Be not afraid." Yes I think -we would have been afraid, But Christ hushed the troubled hearts and ;there came' into their life a great• calm: And dear brethren, Christ Our risen Lord sheds abroad in our hearts the same peace and calm to -day. Our hearts are too full for many words. We just go on saying within our- selves, The Lord is risen and He is saying to us, "Be not afraid, fear not." t �mm+�-wccm�:num�rwauacaxa�nr.®nr , Fair Postponed t . 1 Owing to tite unseasonable weather the Seaforth Agricultural Society 5 Why should we? Death, the most terrible of all foes. is robbed of it sting; there is frothing to be afraid of. Death, before whom the children of men weak and powerful, high and low good and bad, had for so many cen- turies stood •trembling; grim death himself is brought .low today. Thr grave has lost its darkness, the lamp of Christ's love o e is our light through the gloom. The loneliness and ter- ror of death have fled, for Jesus stands in the Valley of the Shadow of Death to guide His faithful pa'n'e through. And so, ever since the glad Easter tidings first went forth," "He is risen." fear has been banished from ehe faithful soldier and servant. They have fought the good fight of faith through life and untodeath: and then at 'their Master's bidding they have laid down their arms and gone at I•hs oall into His near presence, and those whom they have left behind .have com- mitted the faithful warrior's "body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust in sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Re- •ioice, dear brethren: The Great Re- deemer of th e world finished the work His Father gave Him to. do. All. hall. Be not afraid; we will rest in Him. Death is only a sleep and when we rise, we shall be wide awake. When Christ was crucified, His friends did not tiurchase a tomb' for His body: they- borrowed one and only used if for three days. Jesus Christ said He would rise the third lav, so His enemies sealed the tomb. rolled a great stone to the door and stationedsoldiers there to watch His resting place. When Christ shook off His 'sleep, it fell .on the soldiers and He walked out into the garden while they slept. Therefore I' leave with you these words: Be not afraid. All isell Death isswallowed w e t w owed up in victory. This is the keynote of Easter. EGMONDVILLE. School Report. Jr. IV. -Bob Mc- Donald, Mary Kling, Frank Case, Glenn Hays.
