Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 97, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 April 1916 — An Easter Message. [ARTICLE]

An Easter Message.

Easter Sunday is the one day of the year that appeals to the hope of the world. It is a day of joy, of love and of hope. When Jesus Christ arose from the grave he brought life and immortality to light. Easter Sunday binds all humanity together and breaks down all ban iers of creed, race or church. Easter is the exaltation of Jesus as the Godman, who triumphed over death and became the first fruits of them that slept. Every church in Rensselaer will be joyous with the good cheer and hope of Easter. The songs, music and eit tire program of the services will be full of Easter joy and inspiration. The pastors will preach on the Resurrection. Let every family worship God Easter with glad hearts and attend divine services. Every church and Sunday school will welcome every one who comes. Let the one thousand grown-ups of Rensselaer wh<r do not regularly attend church, be found in the house of God this Easter. —Contributed.
