While man, in his inhumanity
to man, may be despoiling the
earth and seeking to destroy his
fellow, yet nature —virgin work
of God—responds to the season
and honors the divine mind that
called forth its various forms of
life. The grass springs from its
bed of clay and is kissed by the
morning dew; the buds of the
trees unfold into leaves that sing
the hymns of nature’s praise at
early dawn; the rose hearing the
gentle call of spring blushes into
beautiful bearing and fills the
air with the delicacy of its per-
fume; the violet listening to the
same call opens its beautiful
blue eye upon a renewed world;
and the lily (its heart a9 pure as
its name) yields to the wooing
of the‘sunbeams. The birds
bathe their plumage in the gold-
en light of day and warble their
sweetest notes of praise. The
glowing sun begins to drive
away the chill of winter; and the
[moon, shining in full-orbed
i splendor, floods the earth with
| its mellow light.
Yes, nature renders homage to
! the day that celebrates the ris-
ing from the dead of Him who
claimed to lift the souls of m6n
to spiritual heights and give
them visions invisible to the
natural eye. And if nature,
awakening from its winter sleep,
goes forth in beauty and fra-
grance and light and joyousness
and music; shall man fail to
comprehend that in the resur-
rection of the graaa and flowers
and leaves there it a significant
suggestion as to the resurrection
of our mortal bodies?
