Alt Easter g’tnry
(Part One, unfinished, as read to class)
It was on the eve of Easter when the Lord of the Resurrection spoke to his
host of angels saying, “Who will go forth this day to visit the children of men
and stir their hearts that they will go in the morning to the house of God to re-
ceive the blessings of Easter?”
“Send me,” said the Angel of the Dawn, “I will hover over the hills and tint
the firmament and draw forth a multitude to each summit cross.”
“Send me,” said the Angel of Melody, “I will awaken glad voices. The song
of the meadow lark and the song of the mocking bird shall mingle with the 'Victory
Alleluia’ of the great symphony orchestra at sunrise.”
“Send me,” said the White Angel of Young Life, “I will smile upon the earth
and it shall yield the lily and the snowdrop and little children shall bear them to
the holy altar.”
“And what wouldst thou? said the Lord to the Angel of the Still Small Voice.
“Do men no longer heed thee?”
“Good Lord,” he sadly replied, “thrice since Trinity and thrice more since
Nativity have I gone from house to house inviting the children of men to worship
and service, but men have grown mechanical, they seek pleasure and pursue hap¬
piness and cannot hear my voice.”
“And hast thou now grown weary of thine office?” the good Lord asked.
“Nay, Lord,” the angel answered, “thou knowest how with perfect heart I
love thy mission. Albeit, I do pray thee to the multitudes send me not. Send
rather my brethren. Grant that my voice this day will not be altogether unheeded,
if but one hard heart be moved by my still voice I will rejoice, if not may my
tongue dry up and I be speechless.
Then did the Lord of Hosts command : “As thou hast prayed so shall it be.
On their blessed mission thy brethren shall go forth. Thou —
(Part Two, by Evelyn Warnke)
— “Thou mayest stay alone this day and look on, and see the work that they
accomplished.”
When the night before Easter was nearly spent, the Angels of Dawn and
Melody, and of Young Life sped eagerly away to the sleeping earth, while the
Angel of the Still Small Voice hovered sadly above the white clouds, almost too
disconsolate to view the efforts of his brethren.
So gradually that one could hardly notice the change, the rosy glow over the
hills deepened to a beauty of color such as had never been seen. The birds poured
forth a melody so clear, so joyous that the people in their warm beds awoke re¬
freshed to listen. Little children ran gaily to the fields and gardens, gathering
armfuls of the new, bright, dewy flowers and hunting for Easter Eggs. The three
angels waited anxiously for the glad results of their efforts. Would the people
appreciate the renewed resurrection? Would they rejoice in the churches and on
the hills?
The Angel of the Still Small Voice waited as anxiously as they. At last he
could contain himself no longer; hardly stopping for the smiling assent from his
Master, he joined his brethren and set to work, whispering his message to the
people of earth. He forgot his sad, discouraged thoughts and went about his work
with all of his old, lost zeal.
The result was marvelous. Thousands and thousands of glad Christian people
hurried from their homes in city and countiy, wearing their best, to fill the
churches, crowding about the symbolic crosses on green mountain tops. The talk¬
ing ceased. The crowds of holiday worshippers hushed, while the pastors and
preachers told again the glorious story of the Resurrection, and choirs sang glad
Hallelujahs.
The four angels were satisfied. They had done their work well. Each agreed
that he could not have accomplished his purpose alone. But the happiest was the
Angel of the Still, Small Voice, for when he returned, the Lord said unto him,
“Since thou hast done thy work so well today this shall be henceforth thy reward :
Never shall the people of earth be more ready to heed thy Still Small Voice, never
shall they be quicker to follow the impulse to worship and service than on glad
Easter Day;” and so it is that more people go to the House of God on Easter
than at any other time.
It is an honor to Pasadena High School, to be given the opportunity of opening its doors to the six hundred California High School Principals, who
shall meet here Easter vacation. Principals will come from the North, South, East and West to Pasadena High School where they will discuss
matters of importance in the educational field. Were it not for the class of men which the Principals represent, the fine educational advantages
which the students of California High Schools are now enjoying, would have never been made possible. Each year these men gather in a different
section of the state, using one of the best high schools in that particular district, for their meeting place, and for that reason, the students and
faculty are glad that Pasadena High has been chosen for such a worthy cause. Every student of P. H. S. is behind the Principals’ Convention and
it promises to be a very successful one. May each Principal derive some good by visiting Pasadena and return with the best wishes of the high
school students and faculty.
