Easter Sunrise Service
Dear Aunt Daisy, You may recall how last year the service on Mount Victoria impressed me as a vivid symbol of the Resurrection, and that impression has remained and deepened. I was glad to see the Cross erected again this year, and from the window of the room in which I write, it can be seen outlined against the sky, and though I do not get a full view, imagination supplies the rest. This year, in a storm-tossed world, I shall think of the Cross as a symbol of Liberty. In a speech delivered by Victor Hugo at the Planting of the Liberty Tree in the Place des Vosges, 1848, he ‘says: "The first Tree of Liberty was planted eighteen hundred years ago by God himself on Golgotha. The first Tree of. Liberty was that Cross on which Jesus Christ was offered as sacrifice, for the
Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity of the human race." And if the attention of the world could have been directed to the Regal Figure who suffered for us on that Cross, this cruel war and all its horrors would not be upon us now.-M. K. Alexander (Khandallah).
