HOLY WEEK.
Holy Week, with Good Friday for its Friday, commemorates the sufferings
and death of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Year by tear the custom
of making Good Friday a holiday instead of a holy day dying out. Dear
to the Christian should be the memory of his saviour’s death. If
the servant loves his master he will keep this day holy. The observance
of Good Friday is but natural and proper; but .i day of this week claims
from us a serious consideration, as it sets forth each step of the way
of sorrow, which led to the Cross and Grave, and through these to the
joyful Resurrection. The daily services will be welcome to all who wish
to mourn with Christ. Just at this time sorrow and bereavement have visited
some families; many more suffer from lack of work and such like trials
it will be a comfort to these to take their cross and follow Christ in
prayer and meditation.

FLOWERING SUNDAY.
Flowering Sunday is a bright opening to a week of sorrow. To the Christian
Easter Day throws its light before; the grave ever blossoms, and its
sad collections are swallowed up in joy. As Palm Sunday falls late this
year flowers will probably be in fuller bloom, and the churchyard gay
and cheerful aspect. Begin to deck the graves early in the week that
the Sunday may be reserved, not for work, but for worship. Come not only
to see the flowers, but to join in the service.
To enter a churchyard at the hour of prayer, without entering the church
is like knocking at a neighbour’s door and going off without paying
him a call.
