to show the absurdity of the hypothe- 
sis and to bring out the glory of the 
fact. 
Our human destiny is linked to 
Jesus, the risen Son of God. He is 
the light on the world’s horizon that 
heralds the day. He is the bud of 
spring that heralds the glory of June. 
Confidence, hope, joy, aspiration, 
energy, progress are all comprised in 
this “Easter Message of the Risen 
Christ.” It is the festival of a great 
optimism the world celebrates  to- 
day. We discount all fears today and 
the whinings of disbelief and despair 
fall on deaf ears. 
There is but a narrow step between 
the before and beyond the gateway, 
only a step from blindness to sight, 
only a moment from darkness to 
light. 
Sometimes I wonder how it must 
feel to fly. Steamships, express 
trains, whizzing automobiles, these 
would have seemed like flying to our 
ancestors, but they are common ex- 
periences to us, and soon flying will 
be. So the transition to the future 
life will come at first with a strange 
“ecstasy, but in a little while the ex- 
perience will be perfectly natural. So, 
“all the days of my appointed time 
will I wait, until my change come.” 
Said, in effect, an aged gentleman 
to me while I was away lately, “If I 
was forty years younger, I would 
throw myself into this modern rush 
of affairs.” His body getting old, 
could not dim the youth of his soul. 
Just as a baby’s fingers are the 
prophecy of the hand of genius, and 
as every rudimentary organ of the 
body moves along the unerring line of 
development here, so shall every 
prophecy of the immortal faculties of 
man be fulfilled and move along the 
unerring line of immortal develop- 
ment. 
“There is a divinity stirs within us, 
’Tis immortal life that points the 
99 
way. 
There was once a minister in 
Hartford, who had a lot of boys in 
his Sunday school who were in the 
habit of staying away on the Sunday 
when the big steamer City of Hart- 
ford docked in the morning. One 
Sunday the minister came down to 
Sunday school and found all the boys 
there. He was profoundly affected. 
“Boys,” he said, “you cannot imagine 
how much this exhibition of loyalty 
on your part to the Sunday school 
affects me. When I came by the 
docks this morning and saw the City 
of Hartford there—” 
“Gee whiz!” shouted the boys in 
chorus, “is she in?” and they left in 
a body.

“Open your mouth; I shall not 
hurt you—you will feel no pain,” said 
a dentist to a patient.

“now I know what Ananias did for a 
living.”
