Dear John Muir,

The "Lord is risen indeed", the Universe is singing anew the Easter song of the ages, sung long before "the visible church" had an existence, - the sweet assurance to all the future that God is in His world. My thoughts are unto you ward, dear Shepherd, and there is no other soul with whom I would prefer to keep this spotless day sacred to the holiest memories and hopes. I have not been to church to see the crosses of White Callas, and wreaths of Spirea and Myrtle - nor yet …
