death and make them like unto his 
own glorified body. 
Why is this truth of the resur- 
rection so imperfectly understood 
and the hope so dim in many? Let 
me ask another question. Why is 
human intelligence so dim?—why is 
genius and wisdom and intuition so 
dim? Because these things are not 
cultivated. Burbank claims that he 
can so develop the rind of an 
orange or the husk of a nut to the 
point where the rind and the shell 
are everything and the sweet, nour- 
ishing heart is nothing. So men, of 
the earth, earthy, develop the ani- 
mal, the material, the husk until it 
is everything and faith and hope 
and reason and intuition are noth- 
ing. Theat and that only is the rea- 
son for dead souls. Flatter not your- 
self for your doubts and unbeliefs, 
deplore them rather as showing that 
your soul is being atrophied and is 
tending toward death. 
Not every soul is passed from 
death unto life; not every soul 
knows the power of his resurrection, 
only the regenerated soul. Sin is 
just as fatal as ever in destroying 
the soul. But more souls are pass- 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
ing from death unto life and know 
the power of Christ’s resurrection. 
Passing from death unto life is a 
present and earthly experience. 
Every regenerated soul is a repeti- 
tion of the Easter miracle. Im- 
mortality is not a future bequest, it 
is a present gift. ‘‘He that hath the 
Son hath life.’?’ There is an inner 
life that not a grain of dust can 
touch, not a germ can destroy. 
Weakness, pain, disease, are indica- 
tions that the husk of this life is 
being removed. 
Go then into the world of human 
affairs, into larger plans of labor, 
into a fuller unfolding of your 
powers, cheered and inspired by the 
truth of the resurrection. Go brave- 
ly, persistently, fearing neither the 
death of the bodies in yonder 
cemetery, nor the death that walks 
the street in human forms; go, as- 
sume the fact of immortality as you 
must assume a thousand scientific 
facts in the universe in order to live 
and make progress,—‘‘for the Lord 
is risen indeed,’’ and as his life and 
work extend through eternal ages, 
so does the life and work of them 
that are his. 
THE EASTER 
SALUTATION 
(Continued from page twelve) 
ground is all covered and no sign 
of summer has yet appeared. So is 
the world in which we lve. There 
are signs of better things; there are 
church spires pointing up to heaven ; 
there are visible monuments of 
faith, hope and charity; but right 
at our very doors, are selfishness, 
that chills like snow, sin that blights 
like frost; and many prayers must 
be offered, many tears must be shed, 
many hands must be wearied, be- 
fore these sins can be removed. Our 
Lord delayeth Ilis coming. Cold is 
the snow; dead is the grass; barren 
are the trees; chilly is the wind; 
but Spring will come. ‘‘ All hail!’’ 
says Christ. Faith responds ‘‘ All 
hail.’’ We have before us here, the 
flowers of winter, a pledge of what 
will soon spring from the earth, 
when warmed by the sun of heaven. 
In this church, in this service, and 
others like it all over the world, we 
have a pledge of better things. Men 
are learning to love the Lord and 
to serve Him. The earth shall bear 
fruit of righteousness and flowers 
of peace. 
There is another cheering thought : 
far away—so far away that our 
eyes can not see the bloom, and our 
ears cannot hear the music—there 
is a world of perpetual springtime. 
Poets have dreamed of it; philoso- 
phers reasoned about it; weary and 
hungry and thirsty hearts longed 
for it; but Jesus Christ only, has 
brought life and immortality to 
light. A messenger has come to us 
from that distant shore, through 
the temptations, trials, and suffer- 
ing, and eold scorn of an earthly 
hfe, like him who comes from a 
foreign land, buffeted by the ocean, 
driven to and fro by the storm, 
chilled by the snow. But He has 
come and His voice speaks to us, 
as of old, with no uncertain sound— 
no sting in it from the cross—no 
hollow groan from the tomb—but it 
is the voice of springtime and of 
hope, a voice which says, ‘‘ All hail! 
Rejoice! Be glad! It is I, be not 
afraid.’’
