WINDOWS OF IMMORTALITY

If you have ever climbed the winding stairs of Washington’s Monument, you will recall the little windows throughout its granite sides, through which streams the light of the outer world to illumine the dark interior, and through which the eye now and then catches a glimpse of a great city — of a river winding like a silver ribbon through the fields, forests and plains stretching out beyond the range of vision.

And so to the soul groping on “the altar stairs that slope through darkness up to God”, there conies betime the streaming lines of light that speak of a world brighter and more glorious than its oxen, Each source of truth is a little window of immortality opened up in the soul’s darkened chamber through which it catches glimpses of a vast illimitable life beyond.

DR. W. E. BEIDERWOLF

THE GLORIOUS MORN

Oh, glorious morn when Life was born,

Out of death and the grave!

When Christ arose, and foiled His foes,

And proved His might to save.

The deathless One revokes Death’s stern decree,

Then we in Him through faith may deathless be.

EDGAR J. PEACOCK

IF EASTER BE NOT TRUE

If Easter be not true,

’Twere foolishness the cross to bear;

He died in vain who suffered there;

What matter though we laugh or cry,

Be good or evil, live or die,

If Easter be not true? H. H. BARSTOW
