Easter is a symphony of Angels rejoicing in the Resurrection-- a symphony of Angels proclaiming the revival of life in all the Universe. Easter is a symphony of color, with green' as the dominant note. . That first Easter restored 'hope at a time when all human hope had turned to despair, a time when God appeared to have forgotten His children. When the sufferings of Jesus seemed in vain; when the Great Cause seemed lost Christ arese. What glorious rejoicing there was! What return of hope and revival of faith! Right had triumphed --goodness had woe* Cburist had arises! God had again given a sign of his Supremacy. ' " In the twenty centuries since the Resurrection' of Christ humanity has lost its Way many times but has always stumbled back to the right road. Stumbled back through the Dark Ages, through Religious wars, through wars of hatred and greed, back to the road that winds ever upward and onward toward a better life, toward a life of everlasting peace and contentment. v - Nature helps us to believe in this eternal striving for immortality. Nature helps us to believe in the Resurrection of all things. Does not the t ree in your garden ret urn'to life with the coming of the warm sunshine and the blessed rains of Spring? Does not the little bird in that tree build a nest and prepare to create a new life*? Does not all of nature participate in this wonderful, miraculous Resurrection year after year? Does anyone doubt that this ha3 always been so and will continue to be so forever, in a world without end? Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Glosson entertained Wm. Hamil last Saturday. Oaeh!

EM Stacknick spent his one week spring vacation preparing j his new home for early occupancy, i It seems a simple pattern--this pattern set by God. A birth, life with its struggles, life wih its joys and griefs and then the welcome oblivion of deep sleep, then--the Resurrection! This pattern gived meaning to life. It makes our efforts worthwhile. It lightens our burdens.. It' gives us hope. It gives us faith. Without this belief in God and in eternal life we may as well be stones lying in earth on a lonely-shore while the .waters of life wash over 19 forever. Easter is the time to renew our faith.
