GOLDEN TENT am tie that liveth.
and was dead; and behold l am alive for
evermore.-Rev. 1:1S
The Story OF Easter Morning.-NS ILLS.
In the stories of the different evangelists
there are number of variations al some
times almost slight contradictions but all
can be put together in one connected story,
as we do in this account The resurrection
of Jesus took place very early in the morn
ing, as IL began to dawn" esp. Nothing
is known of the method or manner of His
resurrection. several women from differ
ent parts of the city came 10 the tomb early
Sunday morning. bringing spices for the
preservation of the body of Jesus. The
first to arrive was Mary Masdalene. l. e.,
Mary of Magdala, out OF whom Jesus had
cast seven demons, as recorded in Luke So.
Sac did not enter into the tomb, but finding
ii empty, FASTENED away to tell Peter that
Jesus is not in the sepulcher. thinking that
some one had stolen the body
In the meantime the other women ar
rived al the tomb. and. seeing the stone
rolled away. they entered and saw two
shining angels. The angels declared that
Jesus had risen from the dead.
The First Appearance of Jesus. Mary
Magdalene had told Peter, and returned 10
the sepElcher, when Jesus appeared to her
as she stood weeping near it in the garden
John 20I1-1S).
The Second Appearance. g. And as they
went TO tell His disciples" They were re-
turning to Jerusalem by me other streets
than those by which Mary Magdalene. and
Peter, ard John had gone. Behold, Jesus
met them, saying, All hail:" Rejoice"
the usual form of salutation Held Him
by the feet" Clasped His feet. in reverent.
affectionate joy, to make sure that it was
indeed their Lord. and to express their
gladness And worshiped Him." With
religious worship or alteration.
10. Go tell my brethren that they go into
Galilee:" According to His promise before
He died, that He would meet them there
(Matt. 26:32).
Confirmation by Enemies. L. When
they were going" While they were away
on this Grand Some of the watch" The
guard set by Plate at the request of the
chief priests to watch the sepulcher. lest
the disciples should steal His body. and
say He was risen Matt. q $3.50. Showed
unto the chief priests Under whose
charge they were. "All the things that
were DONE" They told the simple truth as
the best possible excuse for their seeming
negligence.
u. Gave large money unto the soldiers:"
The report the soldiers made was so dan
gerous to their own lives, that no small
sum could induce them to criminate them
selves; but the entire results of all the ef-
forts TO destroy Jesus seemed to depend
upon it.
l3 Say We. His disciples came by night,
and stole Him away while we slept" The
absurdity and stupidity of this statement
ciples had no motive for stealing the body.
They did not expect a resurrection. They
did not know its Importance. What could
they have done with the body to escape de-
lection?

Peter duke 24:SD Sunday morning.

His Last Message.-Vs. 1920. IS. All

the word rendered power. 1t embraces the
