Show THE HIGH TIDE OF EASTER Shadow and sunlight, ebb and flood mourning and rejoicing are not more opposite than the subdued and. sorrowful sor-rowful mood befitting Lent, and the triumphant gladness of Easter. As Good Friday in the solemn passing, recalls to us the day when the darkness dark-ness of the cross made the sun ashamed asham-ed to shine, so Easter Sunday, with n supreme raidiance, indicates the hour that is the coronation of humanity. Jew and Roman combined In the cru cifixtion of Him who came to save but they could have had no power against Him had he not willingly offered himself him-self to atone for the sins of the world "I am the good shepherd," He said "I lay down my life for the sheep. J have power to lay It down and I havr power to take it again." No mere man could have made that assertion. Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut His glories in, When God, the mighty maker, died For man, the creature's sin. |
