"This glad Easter morning witnesseth a risen Saviour, a higher human sense of Life and Love, which wipes away all tears. With grave-clothes laid aside, Christ, Truth, has come forth from the tomb of the past, clad in immortality. ... The stone is rolled away. Death has lost its sting, and the grave its victory. Immortal courage fills the human breast and lights the living way of Life."

It would be difficult to find a statement that better typifies the hope of the world today than the "immortal courage" which "fills the human breast and lights the living way of Life," referred to in the passage just quoted from Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 191).

Christ Jesus, whose meekness made him mighty, who conquered death and the grave through his spiritual understanding, said, when he was about to be crucified, "O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done," thus signifying his willing obedience to and love for God; and this obedience gave him all the strength and courage necessary to roll away the stone from the door of the grave and to prove to doubting humanity that Life is eternal and that spiritual love is triumphant over hate and persecution.
