EASTER FLOWERS. 



[Extracts from the Easter sermon of llie Rev. 



W. J. .McKittncK, 5t. L luii, as reporicd in the St. 



Louis Kepublic.l 



"God was very kind to the world 

 when he made it the gift of flower.s, 

 pushing the wilderness into b'.oom. 

 starring the meadows with twinklin.i; 



constellations, sowing harvest..^ of love- 

 liness In waste places, flowers for baby 

 hands, flowers for marriage festivals. 

 flowers at hospital beds, flowers that 

 are voices of love, flowers that are 

 scattered over graves. Our thoughts 

 today are for the Easter flowers. The 

 churches are fragrant with them. Th? 

 music of the organ pip^^s and ch.inting 

 voices goes rolling over their leave? 

 and petals. We welcome their visit. 

 We are glad to see them. 



"We will place a bunch of them on 

 the Bible. Let us wreathe this old 

 book with a garland of them. Let us 

 cover it over with who'e armfuls of 

 them. Flowers stand for beauty. 

 Their ministry to the earth is a minis- 

 try of beauty. And are they not at 

 home on this beautiful Word of God? 

 As they rest there, bits of earthly 

 beauty, yellow, red or pink, can we not 

 imagine them falling into quick fel- 

 lowship with the great masses of 

 heavenly beauty underneath them? 

 Every law of God is crammed with 

 light and glory. All the divinely re- 

 corded provinces of God move through 

 these pages with the stately tread of 

 an armored host. 



"Let us hang another garland up^n 

 the cross. Bring your fairest ro..^es and 

 lilies to twine about the feet of .lesus 

 as He hangs there. Let that cros.s be 

 enswathed in the sweet odors of our 

 gratitude. How much do we owe to 

 it? More than any eloquence could 

 express, more than all the choirs of 

 angels could tell forth in most melo- 

 dious song, for that c ross stands above 

 all the jars and discords of selfishness. 

 above all the strivings and buttlings of 



greed, as heaven's supreme illustra- 

 tion of divine life, of the regnant and 

 controlling principle of the kingdom 

 of God, nf that great law of God, of 

 that great law of vicarious suffering 

 and service, which must be appropri- 

 ated and incorporated into our lives, 

 if we would rise above the beasts that 

 perish and hold kinship with our heav- 

 enly Father. 



* * * 



"Let us put another wreath of flow- 

 ers upon the tomb. This is where our 

 thoughts are circling today. Over that 

 broken grave our hosannas are leaping 

 and mounting. Bunches of flowers, 

 crowns of flowers, pillars of flowers, 

 harps of flowers, white as snow, re- 

 calling his purity, red as blood, recall- 

 ing his victory, steeped in dew. telling 

 of descending blessings, bathed in sun- 

 light, telling of rejoicing hopes, open- 

 ing buds, proclaiming an opened heav- 

 en. Let us scatter them broadcast be- 

 fore that tomb from which he rose, 

 and let us spread them about his feet 

 as he stands once again among the 

 disciples, as he .sets their hearts aflame 

 by his renewed communion with them; 

 as he breaks bread with them before 

 the fire of coals, as he sits with them 

 on the shore of the sea.
