EASTER, A TIME OF HOPE

Of all ithe holy seasons observed by the Christian
World throughout the year, there is none more in-
spiring of hope, none more revitalizing than that of
Easter. This holy time, observed each year on the
first Sunday after the first full moon following the
21st. of March, is a season of hope both in the mo-
mentous Victory over Death it recalls, and in the
place it enjoys in the annual cycle of seasons,

Easter comes in the Springtime, when marks of a
new Happier season are at every hand. Winter snow
and ice are making a last vain stand’ on the moun-
tain tops; new life is breaking through the cold earth
on-every hand; gardens and buds are straining to
burst their bonds. The whole earth is awaking from
the death-like sleep of winter.

These signs of a new natural life abounding at
Easter time, are but Nature’s symbols of ._ the New
Life given to the world by Nature’s Creator that first
Easter weekend over 1900 years ago.

The dreary winter recalls Good Friday afternoon
when the sky was darkened; the earths quaked and all
Nature seemed in turmoil as the Son of God paid the
Supreme Ransom for our Salvation. The glories of
Spring, proof that a new season of life has begun,
symbolize the glorious reunion of His bruised and
wounded Body with His Soul Easter Sunday morning,
proof that He was the Son of God and that His Sacri-
fice, triumphing over Death of Sin, was accepted

;on man’s behalf, All the hope by which'a Christian
life is inspired, is based on the solid foundation of
Easter and the Resurrection. The truth of Easter is
«the triumph of the defeated, the finding of the lost;
the springtime of the earth; the waking of a new
life. There is much for the thoughtful mind to ponder
on in the account of the First Easter as told in the
four gospels. Christ’s tomb was the only tomb in the

thet the tomb was empty and: that angels had an-

them,'' but dismissed the reports as idle tales such
as one would. expect women to tell.

Blessed are they that have not seen and have be-
fieved,"’ is o lesson for all who are not much disposed
to believe in miracles despite the miracles about them

It is the hope that Easter inspires that make it
reasonable for those “that have not seen”, to believe.

A Weekly
From

_ by Rev. L. C. Johnston,
LET'S LOOK AT THE CROSS

This time of year, some will
read this, who any cther time
would pass by this column. Most
of us care to understand ‘our-
selves in relation to this high
season of the church year. UN-
LESS WE ARE THE UNCON-
CONCERNED!

The world suffers, when we
contiriue in our own little ways.
That is a part of the crucifixion.
This is Satan’s delight — to have
aman mind his own business.
His counsel is, “Mind your own
affairs, attend to your own little
circle — your home, your work;
beyond that, nothing.” Seek div-
ersion and entertainment, shun
that which provokes thinking.
Christ dies, but you just go on
about your activity. Let George
do the concerned things. Pass the
buck — Joe someone else into it
—Let’s watch the execution at
Golgotha, everyone is going —
aren’t we part of this crowd
around the Cross, watching, but
UNCONCERNED. Let us rather
watch that our

Message

The Castlegar Ministerial
Association is

to decision for an with the
strange man upon the Cross this
season,.Somewhere in that scene
we cen find the reflection of our
own image. Cannot each of us
say truly, “It was my kind of
conscience that put Jesus on the
cross, that puts Him here today?”
Through this whole chain of
events we celebrate at this season
in ‘our churches and in our
thoughts, runs the implication
that it can and does happen here,
not only in Palestine but in
Castlegar. Jesus’ word on that
eross is for us too — ~ for anyone
