APRIL, 1939 Eternal Spring “For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come.” Nature’s great renewal has come once more, bringing to human hearts fresh hope and courage. Like the winter, our hopes of achievement have been laid under a covering of disappointment and discouragement, but spring bids us look up and witness the miracle of nature reborn. “A miracle has shaken all the land, Each reed and stem becomes an Aaron’s rod, A green light leaps the hills—the tall trees stand, And lift their glad eyes to the face of God. O heart—what is this strange, amazing thing? What is this stirring of the old, old dead? Forget your grief, look up and laugh and sing. ‘I am the resurrection,’ Jesus said. * * * Lo, all the earth with loveliness is rife, Hope’s torch lights up the winding ways of men. The dawn is on the hills—the night has fled— ‘Let not your hearts be troubled’, Jesus said.” To hearts troubled and anxious, spring lias a special message of hopefulness and encouragement. As nature rises triumphant over the frost and snow, so we have within ourselves forces which can lift us out of discouragement to new heights of achievement. —Selected.
