Easter and Immortality.

Here are a few fit words for Easter Sunday morning from Edward E. Hule, a man whose large thought makes him at home with all sects, yet bound by none: , “Easter morning does not prove man’s immortality. It asserts it. In the, universal resurrection from

the night of winter, as life which had been sleeping returns, it asserts man’s eommxmion and companionship with the God who is life, it declares that man, a child of God, cannot die. Because he is immortal he can come to his God as an immortal comes, can speak, can listen, can reply. He enters on this or that enterprise sure that he has infinite allies. If one of these be called away they shall meet again. He lives for and with those who are also immortal. Each for each has companionship, perhaps help. It cannot be that they are to grind along through ages stupid and alone. “To renew such immortal life here is the yearly mission of Easter day. That this which is mortal may be clothed upon with immortality.”
