EastL. A. Baptist Church,

Rev. George +. Dye delivered an Easter
Baptist church from the text III am He
that liveth and was dead and am alive for
evermore and have the keys of death and
hades."
The person of Christ is the unique thing
of Christianity. All other great leaders are
dead. but he was dead and is alive forever
more. We worship not a dead Christ, but
living Christ, exalted and glorifled. As
the pereon of Christ is the central element
of Christianity, so the resurrection 10 the
central fact.
1t was this fact that the apostles empha-
sized. 1t was not so much Christ on the
cross that inspired the apostles and reused
them to sublime energy and prodgious
work as the glorious fact of the resurrec-
greatest day the world has ever witnessed.

Is his text:
and become the first fruits of them that
slept"
1t suggests two thoughts, the fact and
the doctrine of the Savior's resurrection.
God moves in e mysterious way his won-
ders to perform. He seems almost always
to lead his people to victory through de-
feat. More than ever before the enemies
of righteousness hooted when they
saw the captain of our salvation crowned
with thorns, beaten with stripes, hanging
upon tree, with his disciples denying him
and hiding in city garret planning for re-
treat. The last hope had fled. While he
lived they trusted and contided; now he is
dead, he is in the tomb; the sepulcher is
fastened and the proconsular seal is
placed upon it; sixty Roman soldiers are
placed to guard one dead man; it is death
TO break the seal or sleep ON duty. The
grief-stricken disciples have given up in
despair and deserted the tomb, while upon
sentiment: "He saved others, himself he
could not save" Darkness gathered
about the new system and enveloped the
infant church, for its founder was cap
tured, executed and buried. So Friday
passes; Saturday goes by, but on Sunday,

has friends. some of whom had been in
constant contact with him for more than
three years. Forty days he remained to
converse, to eat and drink with them that
they might handle his body, and attest
that he had flesh and bones. To say that
his disciples were unlettered does not
argue against their testimony; it does not
require much training to identify a friend.

Rev. S. A. Widney preached last even ing

when they saw the Lord" In part he said {:
This is joyous Eas,ertide. / am glad it
comes in the spring of the Year, when all
nature is rejoicing, the trees in their now

fragrance and the birds with joyous song.
Most Easter texts are morning texts, but
John has given us this one for an evening
sermon.
This text was written of the evening of
the first Lords Day of the risen Christ. 1

but, personally. am more interested in the
day that commentaries our Lords res1r-

This had been an eventful day. First comes
the soldiers saying, under instruction g,
"His disciples came by night and stole him
away while we slept" and with it came
also the whispered, "They are hired to tell
this falsehood. that the people may not
know of truth the Christ is risen.''

wonderful story of how Jesus was indeed
risen, and had appeared to her in the gar
den, where she had gone with "Mary, the
mother OF jesus and Salome, and "Joan-
ma, the wife of Herod's steward" seeking
tho body of Jesus.
Then Peter and John told of their mar
velous experience at the empty tomb; and
John said that he 'believed the Lord had
indeed risen"
And Cleophas and Luke too told how the
risen Christ had walked with them as they
"journeyed to Emmaus.''
And while they yet spake of these things
there, in that upper room, where the disci-
pies were assembled for fear of the Jews,
they were amazed to see another one pres
ent among them. What! Could it be he?
Yes. There was the Same familiar figure,
the same sad face, the very thorn marks
on the brow: yea, even the nail marks in
the pierced hands, and the wounds OF a
spear thrust in the side.
doubt not that the disciples knelt in
solemn awe when, from those reanimated
lips, there came the message, Peace be
unto you.
for the risen Lord was among them once
more.

There were ten disciples present that

"He is risen" was the happiest messe7 Q
ever delivered. The resurrection of Christ
holds in its grasp every distinctive
Christian doctrine. 1t is the cor
nerstone of faith. 1t 10 the
greatest proof of the miracu-
lous and the supernatural. Let us
liberalize our Christianity, by all means,
and adapt it to the conditions as they exist
today; but let us not evaporate it by slur-
ring over the fundamental facts which
must rest upon the miraculous. If Jesus
Christ's body was not supernaturally lifted
from the tomb, how was it possible for be-
lief in the resurrection to have been origi-
mated or maintained? The reason for dis
belief Is not deficiency of evidence, but the
bias of the judge.
Since Christ has become "the first fruits
OF them that slept this comfort strength
ems the belief in life beyond the grave.
We need not fear to die. because he has
died, and dying has been the death of
death. We shall live again.

To suggest deception is folly; in the
immediate prospect of the cross and
death they would not dare to lie;
with tho certainty of perdition and
with no prospect of gain they would not
want to deceive. Such is the testimony
concerning the prince of life, whom God
hath raised from tho dead, whereof we are
witnesses; for experience of believers is a
proof of Christ's renewed life and resur-
rection. Had he not risen the comforter
would not be in the world today; but he is
here to make real the continued life of
Christ. Do we not also attest the fact in
our annual celebration of Easter of Christ s
recurring birthday from the tomb? Who
can explain the existence of the Christian
Sabbath or any other Christian institution,
except on the ground of Christ's triumph
over the grave? The Sabbath was certain
ly transferred from the seventh to the first
day of the week, because it became the
Lords day by virtue of his coming forth
immortal from the tomb on that day.

The Other Side.

EultOr LEADER:-
In your last issue appears an
article headed "Yaquina Notes"
written by an individual signing
himself "Hiawatha." His state.
ment in reference to the literary
society is, to say the least, mislead-
ing. He has attacked a number of
young men, whom he has the
impudence-when on the street-to
call his friends, in a most cowardly
manner, and has then tried to hide
identity-unsuccessfull however
under a non de plume.
Here are the facts in the case:
About three weeks ago a few of us
met for the purpose of organizing a
club, as stated. On motion it was
decided to ask those who we thought
would help and join with us, to our
next meeting, they would then hear
the constitution etc. read, and if
they wished, join our club. They
would then be able TO participate i'll
the nomination and election of
officers, etc. l will quote Section
I, Of Article III of our Constitution:
ADMGssIoN:-Any person may make
application for membership, such
application to be accompanied by
the admission fee, etc, ETC." This
will prove that it was not our in
tention to ignore the ladies.
Unfortunately every small town
is afflicted with a local nuisance in
the shape of a "meddler," and va
quina is no exception to this rule.
This caviller, who seems so
anxious to pose as a champion of
the fair sex, has proved himself an
unworthy patron. His condemna-
ton of us is ludicrous, and vet,
when you realize that his accusations
against us are merely the conception
Of his own narrow brain, tits pitiful.
We have the greatest contempt for
him, and answer his charges, simply
because we wish to make a success
Of our club, and therefore desire the
presence and membership of ladies.
I expect this will be rather dry
reading as compared with the
"Notes" Of "Mr. Hiawatha," for
unlike that gentleman, I'm no
sport" and lack his tracy" style.
Still, though I may not be funny in
giving these statements I'm truth
full.
Ii not trespassing on your valu-
able space too much, Mr.. Editor,
we would be glad if you could
insert this in your next issue, as
this explanation is certainly due us.
Were l Of the same nature as Mr..
Heather, q beg his pardon, Imean
Mr.. Hiawatha, } l would undoubted-
ly sign myself Fair Play" but in
this case l prefer my own signature
by request and behalf ofour club.
