God grant that this confused

* by fellowship with Him through
His church may find the true
brotherhood out of chaos and
peace and the power to bring
hatred, and spiritual strength out
of human frailty. The church has
not failed; but we have lived fee
ble lives apart from the well
spring of life, our Saviour, Jesus

Eastertide in great triumph. Let

truly glad to see Him. May His
words change the weakness of
our lives into towers of strength.
Listen, He speaks to you, my
friends: “Peace be unto you.”
