A Striking Reminder.

A South African Christian should have very vivid and bright views of the resurrection; for, over and above the spring lessons on this truth of other lands, those of South Africa stand out in wondrous force. To see the dry, brown, chippy pieces which were once grass, and to believe that perhaps by a shower or storm, or by the inherent moisture of the soil, these chips will

live again, and these dry roots shoot out and bear green grass, seems difficult. And how wonderful the great doctrine—the great fact—and yet how true! Christ is risen from the dead and become the firstfruits of them that slept; and as He has risen so shall we, and this corruptible put on incorruption, this mortal put on immortality.—Selected.
