Flowers of Easter Discourse by Dr. Talmage sermon
In an April 1898 Washington dispatch Dr. Talmage laments dispirited as he expounds on Luke twelve and the lily’s symbolism. He extols flowers as signs of providence, bridal consolation, and cemetery comfort, then moves to Resurrection praise urging flowers’ symbolism in Easter and the world’s culmination. He envisions a vast resurrection procession led by Christ, uniting departed souls with renewed bodies under a universal dawn.
