To the real Christian,- Easter lia% a pro- found meaning. To hlm, the rising of Christ means that death has been defeated,. that mnan's soul is imimortal, that though, the bpdy mnay die, the spiritshall live again. This deep meaning is the very essence of Easter dày. If the occasion does not mean immortality then it is ai- most totally Iacking in signiflcance. It is merely a special churcli servicewith a more emphatic appeal to the senises..
