THE COMMUNITY CHU8CH NEWS VOL. V EASTER Easter, the one great day in the life stream of the church. Easter, the mightiest miracle of the ages. Easter, the goddess of spring. Easter, the glorious triumph over death. Easter, the Hallelujah of the church. Easter, the day we commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Time and space are omitted in evidence for the authenticity of the day, proofs and assurance of life everlasting are purposely : as trifling and unworthy the effort. The glory of the doctrine of the resurrection is in evidence everywhere, behold the lulls and the fields testify to life after death, better and more wonderful than all evidences in nature is the throb, the joy, the hope of the human soul. Centuries and centuries of burdens and disappointments have not quenched or dimmed the glow of the inner urge. r Christ arose, He lives, hope sees a star and listening love is lifted on a wing. With every succeeding generation more wonderful and more astonishing becomes the miracle of Golgotha. If some evil geni could obliterate the hope of immortality, that lives anew this Easter Day, and leave the race hopeless and without the legacy of an inheritance, fadeless and deathless, if such were possible, the incentive of life itself in all its finer values would be paralyzed. STOW, O., FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1938 NO. 15/ If Christ be not risen then is the church mocked and the Bible s,ory is false and religion is reduced to ethics and sociology. The most inspiring thought of the mightiest of the race is the triumph of the Lord over death and the grave. The loftiest passion of the human soul, the urge that lifts song or anthem by instrument or by the human voice, the soul that leaps all bounds in proclaiming its jubilant, exhilarant faith in this one glorious event in human history, namely, our Risen Lord. Lay hold of this mighty truth, come out of your damp and cheerless grave. Come forth, my brother, and live. The hereafter is for those who stake their claim, Heaven is for whosoever will, the resurrected King is the King of those who own and serve Him. Eternal life will bud and bloom in you if you will quit stifling and smothering it, give it a chance, farm it, encourage it, the germ of immortality is within, let it grow. Sorrowfully and with aching hearts we follow our best loved things to the tomb, we turn our faces home, it's empty. Life on earth is never the same, death robs us all here. How refreshing then that once each year on Easter Day the truth of this lively hope sweeps across the earth and bids all people everywhere rejoice and There wul be Morning Church Service on Easter. Evening Evangelistic Service will be held as usual at 7:30 P. M.

HULME SERMON REPORT Easter Announcements Our Minister, Rev. Hulme, sermonized last Sunday evening on the subject: "Is Life Worth Living." The text was from the Book of James, chapter four. Though reading the whole chapter, special comment was made on that part of the fourteenth v o;'sc which reads "For what is your life?" To make life worth while Rev Hulme contended one must have (1) reasonably good health (2) a measure of prosperity and (3) happiness. He maintained that one might have health and prosperity but lacking happiness life would not be worth while. Finally, however, the idea was developed that true and genuine happiness, which makes life worth while, will only come to those who commit themselves and their ALL, to God's providence. One should remember that a The Final Tribute... cannot be too beautiful. We keep this fact in mind in every instance and occasion. Yet the cost to you is no more.

WHAT DOES EASTER MEAN TO YOU? Does it mean the end of winter's reign, Bright skies and welcome warmth again, Singing of birds, budding of trees, And sweet spring odors on the breeze From daffodil and crocus bed And balsam branches overhead? Sad is the world, and cold and gray, If this is all of Easter Day. But if this blessed season brings A firmer faith in holy things; Assurance of a living Lord; A strengthening, of the tender chord Of love that binds us to the life to come Where loved ones wait us in the heavenly home, No pain nor loss can e'er efface the bliss, Dear friend, of Easter when it means all this.

She wore no emblems of her sorrow, and the lilies and violets on her coat were like those she had worn every Easter since I had known her. When the great congregation rose to sing, she Sang softly the words: "The powers of death have done their worst, But Christ their' legions hath dispersed." She taught her class of girls that day and he went to his superintendent's desk, led his school in worship and read the Easter story with only a break now and then in his fine voice. Amidst the faces lined with suffering, rebellion and despair, of the Easter congregation, they had seemed a miracle. "How can they?" men and women said to each other as they left the church. A fifteenyear-old boy walking home with his father from the church school said, "Dad, I guess Mr. and Mrs. L really believe it, don't they." "Believe what?" said the father.
