Devotional Reading: Corinthians 15:42-57. EASTER IS a Christian festival. That seems to insult your intelligence, perhaps? No offense is intended. But Christians as well as non-Christians need a reminder that apart from the Christian faith there would be no Easter.

All sorts of people try to latch on to Easter, so ' many in fact that ; it is observed as I a holiday season i by millions of people who have not the least idea what it really I means. What word goes

most often with “Easter” in newspapers and greeting cards? Over and over you will see or hear the expression, Easter bonnet, or Easter outfit, or Easter parade. A day to show off, to dress up to the nines and in fact try to out-dress everybody else; to make yourself into a fashion model. Sometimes the reason is given that because this is the season when all nature is bright and singing, we should be bright and gay ourselves. But of course this is not it, it isn't even a parody, it is not the Easter idea at all. ' It is not a festival to celebrate the returning spring. There is a poem which is quite lovely and yet makes a sad mistake about God. The last lines go: ————■ “Green April is thy very soul, Thou great Lord God!” But green April is not God’s soul. Its beauty was no doubt in God’s mind before the world began; hut God’s soul is not a season of the year. Faith on the first Easter Easter does not celebrate even immortality or resurrection, though this is getting “warm.” On the first Easter morning in Jerusalem, what disciple of Jesus was

In a few hours it wxs quite different; but when that Sunday morning dawned, although all Jesus* friends so far as we know believed in immortality or resurrection, they were not made happy by that belief. We have two examples in John’s story: Mary Magdalene and Thomas the apostle. Each of them began the day in confusion and sorrow. Spring had come, but how empty and mocking spring can be to a grieving heart! Mary on that very day, and Thomas a week afterwards, came to the Easter truth, the great fact: He is risen! That is the right message of the day. Not, we shall live again (although that is included), but He lives. By His resurrection Jesus was proclaimed Lord of death and the place of the dead. (See Rev, 1: 17-19.) Now Mary and Thomas were quite different in their own expressions at their first discovery of the truth, Thomas said “My Lord and my God!” while Mary Magdalene said only “Rabboni!” which means “My teacher.” Mary had a long way to go before she came to have the faith of Thomas; but Christ does not rebuke her for not .being humble enough. If you start with realizing that in Christ we confront one who has battled with death and won—won a victory for us all—and if you keep on thinking what that means, you will be sharing the meaning and message of Eastertide. Because He Ilves ... If that had been all it would have been enough. But there is something more. Christians have long believed: Because He lived, ( I too shall live! The writings of St. Paul are bright with the thought that we share in the risen life of Christ. The Resurrection, which is the reason for Easter, is also, and more reason for the Christian’s life of joy. Easter is not merely a time to re-tell wonder stories from the days of old. It is not a time to celebrate the heroic triumph of Jesus of Nazareth alone, it is a time to begin to share in the triumph. Each Christian is set free to say, because this is His Day, it is my Day no less. What does it benefit us that a light brighter than the sun shone in Joseph’s garden long ago, if no light is kindled in your own soul?

K ISN'T IT TRUE? Rev. James R. Meadows Isn’t it true — that in the seeming hustle, bustle and striving of life that we are so engrossed that we sometimes lose sight of the true meaning of events, occasions, seasons or days? e Isn’t it true, more or less, in regard to the one day in the week our Heavenly Father has selected e as a day of rest and worship? Are we permitting self-glory, desires, e ambitions, commercialism to over- . shadow the day and rob us of inspirations which should mean for us happiness, peace, joy and contentment? After six days of hard work and f the cares of everyday life it is necessary for the average person to attend church Sunday and recuperate their spiritual life. At the cnurch you are under the influence of the Spirit of God which will give you spiritual strength to withstand the trials apd temptations of the following week. These few words are not aimed to preach creed nor form. Instead , they are grouped in a new form of • a sincere invitation to every readr er, if physically able, to attend s some church service every week Salem Methodist Joseph Gibson, pastor ■ Good Friday Services this Fri- : day (tonight) at 7:30 with pictures being shown of the Cross and Calvary by the evangelist W. W. Shields, in conjunction with the revival service. The Revival services will continue through Sunday morning and Sunday night, with Mr. Le- ■ Roy Sprunger as song leader. Mr. 1 and Mrs. Sprunger will sing together Friday night and Sunday morning. The Pastor Joseph Gibson, states that the interest is high, and those coming are being helped greatly. The public is urged to take advantage of this opportunity of meeting with Christ and His people. Four young men will be received in church membership Sunday. St. Paul Lutheran Preble Norman H.
