Excerpt from The Book of Easter
I. There can be no truer instance of the darkest hour before the dawn than the dreariness and distress Of' the first so-called Good Friday. What the two disciples said to the Master as they walked to Emmaus on the night of Easter Day tells the story: We trusted that it had been He that should have redeemed Israel; and still more, the cry of the broken-hearted Magdalen uttered in the ear of the yet undetected and undiscovered Christ, They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him. There was some reason then, as there is not now, for the utterly dreary and hopeless feeling about death; and the death of such an one as Jesus Christ was, to those who loved Him and knew Him, had in it every element of desolation and disconsolateness, the darkest of midnight hours; but it was very early in the morning that Easter light and hope were to dawn.
