Easter in Our Hearts.

Our lives are too often graves tn which the best possibilities of moraj and spiritual beauty and strength 11* sleeping. Perhaps not one of us is living at his best. There are better things in our soul than have been brought out. There is more love lying in our heart—sympathy, compassion, gentleness, helpfulness—than has yet been called out into service. Ther* are undeveloped possibilities of usefulness in everyone’s heart and hand. Many of our lives are like the trees in orchards and forests all over the land, these early spring days, waiting for the warm sunshine and gentle rains to call out their foliage and fruits; we need the warm south wind of God’s love and of the Holy Spirit to woo but the blessed possibilities in our lives. W* need Easter in our hearts, a resurre* tlon which shall cause us to arise and shine and put/on our beautiful garments —J. R. Miller, D. D. •
