Signs of the Times

[Mcllyar Hamilton Lichliter, in the Christian Leader, Boston, Massachusetts]

We are the avowed disciples of one who challenged the finality of death. "I was dead," he says, "but behold I am alive unto the ages of ages." To that primitive splendor of Christianity the deeper thought of the age is turning this Eastertide. Life is the central fact of religion—not death. Not the cross but the open tomb is the spiritual center of Christian interpretations.

Jesus died, it is true, but he died to live. Whatever else Calvary meant, it was a demonstration of the law of fruitfulness on the other side of death. "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit."
