ï 2 ge of News for the Religious Workers U / t V I Am The Resurrection And The Life! 11 So long as the Church is an instrument to awaken the sinner to newness of life, so long it deserves general support. So long as religion serves to brighten the pathway and elevate the standard of living, it should enlist the whole man. So long as Chrisitanity develops that which is best in man he should support it, with heart, soul and mind. The work done for Church extension and expansion is seed sown with full expectation of a harvest. It is worth striving for the fruit of the effort; the benefit to the workers is accumulated character and enlarged vision. Every human effort must be exerted to develop a harvest that will increase the fruits of the spirit I Every Sunday, in every community, there is an attractive invita tion, an inspiring message, and cumulative value. God helps those who help themselves; and follows up every sincere effort with a blessing. It is better to be among those striving to do good and promote good, than to delay and neglect this opportunity. We must be preparing the ground, we must be sowing the seed, we must be cultivating with intensive earnestness. No seed was ever so beautiful as the flower that grows as a result of sowing the seed and cultivating the plant. The brown, unattractive bulb placed in the ground, seizes upon all means of development and springs into a living thing of beauty. Just outside of Jerusalem the sealing of the tomb was a cause for rejoicing to those who were thinking of a material kingdom. Even the friends of Christ were downcast because of the "triumph" of the grave, and were thinking "it is finished!" But the morning light brought newness of life, the resurrection of the Master, the triumph of Christ—and Christianity. Good Friday^ commemorates the death of Christ—Easter Sunday His gift to the waiting world. From the seed sown, from the bulb planted, from the word and deed may grow immortal beauty. Worth while things are accomplished by those who have a vision of possibilities, and are anxious to do and to be better. Church life centers around a deep desire to make life better, a real purpose to bring the Kingdom of Heaven. This happy hour is prophesied in the opening flower; but the im portant time is the time of^seed-sowing. What are you planting? Can good grow from the efforts of today? Answer with effort 1 * Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it ahideth not; but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit. 11 1 t mwm ' S.V S Written eepeoially for this paper by James R.
