Inâ€" tensively such was the tragic interlude between the first Good Friday and Easter. For the Faithful the Light had gone out and they were wondering whether there would ever be light again. Judas the barâ€" i economist had ended his life in the despaair of suicide. Pilate ‘th.:?idchncdflimwebbalduhmmmhhm which he could not wash off. TheAmnvbohde- say that Hehwag:‘m again doubted that could ever be a victory after such a eat. ‘Then came Easter and materialism had lost the day. ‘The impossible happened. Mary had gone to the fi:den. not to ‘goct a living Christ but to ancint a dead body. When appeared did not reew Him, but when He said, "Mary," she knew Him. Here was the Shepherd calling His own by name, and the sheep heard His voice, and knew Him. He was not an hirel:’n}( shepherd who had fled. He had laid down His life for the sheep. Now He had returned that He might call His own and that He mi::t be known by them. Yes, it was an interlude, and Easter proved that God‘s world is more than matter. Now we are able to combine the present world catastroâ€" phe with the commemoration of Christ‘s resurrection. We are reâ€" minded that out of material catastrophe may come spiritual renewal and insight. ‘The disciples did not realize that they were much closer to their victory on Good Friday than on the occasion of the Lord‘s glorious transfiguration. Indeed, our Lord in speaking of wars, earthquakes, and the distress of nations forecast that these calamities were ground for hope. He said, "When these things begin to come to pass then look up and lift up your heads for your redemption draweth nigh." Maâ€" terial things must first fail before we sense the reality of the spiritual. Perhaps, then, this Easter will mean more to us than many anâ€" other Easter. In an era of brutality when ancient governments colâ€" lapse and when Truth is once again nailed to the cross we may hope to become illusioned about ourselves and the material world sufficiently to find the pathway to the acknowledgment of God.
