Thus Easter is the festival of the world’s supreme
consolation. Wrung by the travail of the ages the world
looks beyond the inanger birth, the crown of thorns, and
the malefactor’s cross to the tomb that opened on the
first Eastertide and lives again in the sublime assurance
of the patriarch of Uz; “I know that my redeemer liveth »
and shall stand at the last day on the earth.”

grave, for it was only by conquering death that Jesus
could prove His divinity and it was only by rising from
the grave that He could redeem a world. Hence Easter
signalizing the resurrection of the Lord also signalizes
the redemption of the race and becomes thereby the
greatest of all days to those who embrace the Christian
faith.
It required the resurrection to complete the work of
redemption. The marvel of the manger birth attracted
little attention from an ancient people, accustomed to ac-
cept the marvelous. The miracles of Galilee failed to as-
tound a world that treated miracles as a matter of course.
The martyrdom of Calvary was not in itself sufficient to
prove that Jesus was the Saviour of the world, for men
had worn the garlands of martyrdom from the beginning
of time. But when the angel of the resurrection showed
the weeping followers of Jesus an empty tomb on the
morning of the first Easter, no one who accepted the

story with a saving faith could deny that the Nazarene
was the world’s saviour and the conqueror of death.
The sneer of a modern cynic that Christianity is
founded on an empty grave is in all truth the triumph
song of Christianity. The open grave of Arimathea is
the supreme consolation of the ages. It satisfies the
yearning of all those multitudes who from the days of
Eden have looked down into the shadows of the narrow
house and dreamed of a life beyond the grave. The story
of the resurrection has done more to lift humanity from
the level of the beast than all the philosophies from
Hammurabi to the present day.
When Ivon was asked by Clementhe in the beautiful
Grecian drama if they should ever meet again, he could
answer only as a pagan: "I have asked that dreadful
question of the hills that look eternal; of the bright
streams that flow on fori ver: of the skies, among whose
azure fields the raised spirits walk in glory. All are

The resolution says: "Olr supreme court state bar commis-
