What is t lie spirit of Easier? Tins red letter day on our calendar, which wo observe this jenr on Mauh 31. has it number of different nn.v one of s.unlmls, which may remind us of th.it day. for ail of them fire based uion the same fundamental principle. To the Christian world, .It 1j tlie anniversary of the resurrection of Jesus. Hut that does not meun that the essential spirit of Easter means something to one part of Immunity, set off from the remainder by a religious belief, Hnd that they hae a monopoly upon the Joys of the Easter season. For Easter 1ms a universal significance and the kejnote of It lies in the Idea of resurrection. Look at the word Itself Easter. It Is derived from the word East, and East Is one of the four cardinal points. It Is also the cardinal point which has always been most Important In all religious ceremonies of nil races and creeds. This Is because it Is the pari of the heavens where the sun Is seen to rise the sun, bringer of light and heat, the very giver of life itself! The most primitive intelligence of the most primitive man recognized the fact that the sun and life wore Inseparably associated and it was only natural that when he entne to worship the thing which was greater than he, he should turn to the East w lienee came that greater and higher tiling which he recognized ns being the life giving power. So each day was to him a cycle of a whole lifetime. In the morning as the sun came up, life came Into being. As the sun mounted in the heavens life grew In Its lusty youth nnd in creased In power. At its zenith, life, too, wiyt at Its highest point. As the cun declined, so life declined into old age, Into weakness, until there came darkness, the s.vnonjm for dath. After a period of darkness, life came again. There was a resurrection and once more, the cycle of a compressed Into 24 hours, there was life-tim- e life I And that, stripped of all the tradition, myth, legend, custom and social practice that has attached Itself to Easter, Is the spirit of Easter, all con centrated In the one word resurrection." So Easter has a significance r that no other day on our calendars has and that significance is red-lette- St. Pauls Cathedral cathedral is tlie largest and most magnificent of Protestant It was built churches in England. originally In 610 A. D., destroyed by fire in 10S7, rebuilt end partially In 1123. In 100(1 it was de Btrojed In the great London fire and was rebuilt from Its foundations. Sir Christopher Wien was the architect from 1C75 to 1710. It Is famous for the beauty of Its dome and campaniles Ft. Paul's rf. the significance of one of the fundn mental and inevitable facts of custom e. It is conceivable Unit all other red letter dajs iiia.v he abolished from our calendars, tluil the calendar itself may lie done away with. lint, no matter what may happen, so long its human life exists on this earth, t lit sprit of Easter will survive. When it ends, then cuds ail hope for man kind, all reason for mankind's struggle to exist. Is the spirit nnd If resurieetion t ho message of Easter, then the inmost essence of that spirit can he summed up in the chip word 'immortality. If man can find an answer to (lie old. old question that lias troubled him through the ages, the question Does death end all?" lie can find It in the message of Easter. It is reassurance tli.it the struggle to live is worth while and that lie does not face a Even if lie did not hopeless task. liuve the comfort of his religion to help him arrive at that belief, he finds it In the mere fact of living. Each day. each year and each lifetime lie sees the cycle repeated. The sun comes up In the morning nnd goes down into darkness at uiglit lint he knows that It will come up again the next morning. Euch 24 hours lie sees the miracle of resurrection. New life is manifest in the animal nnd vegetable kingdoms with each recurring spring. It ripens in Urn heat of summertime nnd mellows into maturity In the autumn, only to die' In the cold of winter, lint he knows that life will begin ngnin next spring. Each 12 months lie sees the miracle of res A baby is born, passes urreetloii. through childhood, grows Into youth, readies man's estate and then declines Into old age. Wlint if the darkness of death Is only a matter of a few years away? lie has seen the recurring miracle of resurrection every 24 hours and every 12 months. Why should not man, reasoning logically from tills evidence of which lie ts aware every day of his life, believe that the cycle of a lifetime includes a resurrection Jurt ns does the daily cycle and the j early cjcle? lie does so believe and f i oin that belief comes his belief In t lie life everlasting, in Immortality. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say he chooses to believe. For few men, if any, have ever solved ttie rid die of life to their utter satisfaction. They constantly grope for the truth, seeking, ulvvnjs seeking, the answer to tlie unsolved problems of life. They lime the never ending longing in their hearts for everlasting life und they choose to believe, and take comfort fiotu tlie belief, that they shall have it. So whether lie be primitive man or modern, civilized man, whether lie be Christian or heathen, tlie essential spirit of Easter, tlie message of Easter is the same it is a message of hope, a message of Joy and a promise and a fulfillment in one. That message is delivered to in m in many forms. It conies to him In the riot of bird songs which greet the sun on every morning in spring. It comes to him in tlie greenness of the grass In tlie swelling buds on tlie trees, in tlie flowers which push their way up through tlie earth when the warm ing touch of tlie sun is laid upon It. It comes ta him in the softness of the blue sky, in the fleecy clouds floating nbove him and In tlie gentle caress of the meezes that touch his face ns lie goes forth to start each days work. It tomes to him. too, as lie watches young animal life about him lambs, calves aud colts wabbling about uns'eadily at first and then, as they gain strength, running around in those little funny, awkward, Jumps which are always so fascinating to watch. It ctnies to him every minute of I lie day ns Nature, In all her forms cries tut exult mgly Spring lias come! Spiing has come! Even if she did n it ted him in those words, he would know it himself in the surge of new strength in his own body, in tlie quickening of his blood after its winter sluggishness As he hears tlie call of siring nnd the message of Easter lie feels I lie desire to pass tlie message along. lie passes it along In us many vva.vs as It comes to him In tlie happy note in his voice as lie greets bis friends, In the little snatches of song which he finds himself singing and In tlie eft'oit width he makes constantly to put tlmt message Into words. So In addition to tlie visible, tangible symbols of Easter, it also has Jts invisible. Intangible symbols. You can not see or touch" happiness, but you know there is such n tiling and Easter is the one time in the year when that happiness is inherent in all of us. Christmas, of course, is also a time of happiness, but our participation in Its Joys Is dependent upon others. Its joys ure the joys of giving und tlie Joys of receiving. Tlie Joy of Easter Is t more personal, Intimate thing. Kegaidless of ot tiers, we can know Its jvs for they lie within na They are the Joys of living and the Jojs of knowing that life is everlasting. For thtir knowledge, too. is flip spirit of Easter. and is also tlie burin! place of mnny of tlie great dead, particularly mill tnry and naval heroes. Lend Nelson and the duke of Wellington are both buried there. Its length Is 490 feet Tlie dome is 370 feet high. The wiiltli of tlie transepts Is 210 feet. word inflammable to be iitniiuioried h! together, flammable now helng used Mean the Same Thing inutile in its nu.il sense Imi xplc siveness or a character that will burn readily.
