EASTER.
The church has never done a tetter
thing than to take 4ossr'!siwl of the-
ancient
heancient springtime feat and change
it to the Christian-E;tattll. The flameof the heathen goddess is'wlmost the
only mark remaining of th heathen
festival ; the spirit of the o. the
thoughts it suggests, are a ttlally
Christian and spiritual.
Eastertide typifies to us especc\i)tlly
the resurrection. At the season when
the buried seeds of the lastyear and
the seemingly dead roots spring into
new life, and clothe the earth with
verdure, we commemorate the resur-
rection of the entombed Christ and
the revival and reinvigoration of the
apparently dead hopes of His disciples.
a
The freshness of the seasonnd the
belief in the final overthrow of death
renew hope and courage in every de-
vout hlart, and we gladly join in the
song of Pippa :
The year's at the spring. morn And day's at the n:
Morning. at «even :
'fhe hill -side's dew -pearled:
The lark's on the wing,
The snail son the thorn :
God'. in His heaven—
All'. right with the world.
Rut to the Christian world Eastermeans more than this. - It means that
men imprisoned in the tombs their
own sins have hollowed, fettered in
chains of their own forging, have a
share in the fruits of Christ's victory.
Phillips Brooks expresses the thought
thus:
"The devils of discontent, despair,
selfishness, sensuality, how they are
scattered Iwforc that voice, really
heard, of the risen and everlasting
Christ ! He stands before the door of
His tomb and speaks, and these dark
forms that have enchained the souls
and fettered the activities of men fall
on their faces like the Roman soldiers.
who in the gray dawn of the morning
saw Him come forth from the tomb of
the Arimathean, and trembled with
fright and knew their day was over.
and that the prisoner they thought
was ?lead WAR indeed too strong for
them to keep." -
The world, gross and Materialistic
an it seems, would part with many
things before it would give rap the
hope which the Easter seawm brings,
of victory, not only overdeath, tett
over the powers of evil.
