Waiapu Church Gazette. APRIL, 1914. Easter.
Churchpeople hardly need reminding that during this mouth the Church of Christ commemorates two of the greatest events m the history of the world, the death of Jesus Christ, our Lord, upon the Cross and His resurrection from the dead. Good Friday is a day for penitential sorrow for sin which crucified Him, Easter Day, the Queen of Festivals, a day of glad rejoicing, because He rose triumphant from the grave, " having overcome the sharpness of Death He has opened the Kingdom of Heaven to la 11 believers." It is a rule of the Church that all who are Communicants should communicate at least three times m the year, of which Easter shall be one. It is m the deepening of the spiritual life, m the closer union w-ith our Lord, the strength of the Church's witness lies. May the contemplation of the Passion of the Lord draw us nearer to Him and the Easter Festival bring to us fresh inspiration m Communion with Him m the fifegiving Sacrament He ordained.
