the greeting of Christ TO his disciples af-

the ninth and tenth verses of the twenty
eighth chapter of Matthew and were ad-
dressed by Christ to the women whom he
met at the tomb on the morn of resurrec-

as typical of Christs message, following
upon his resurrection, addressed to his
followers in all ages.
