The Story of Easter Morning.--vs. Ills.
In the stories of the different evangelsts
there are number of variations and 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 1t began to dawn" (2SD. Nothing
IL known of the method or manner of His
resurrection. Several women from differ
ent parts Of the city came to the tomb early
Sunday morning. bringing spices for the
preservation of the body of Jesus. The
first to arrive was Mary Magdalene, l. e.,
Mary Of Magdala, out Of whom Jesus had
cast seven demons, as recorded In Luke q.
She did not enter into the tomb, but finding
| II empty, hastened 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 at 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 to
the sepulcher, when Jesus appeared to her
as she stood weeping near 1t in the garden
(John o0:11-1N.
The Second Appearance. 8. "And as they
went to tell His disciples:" They we're re-
turning to Jerusalem by some other streets
than those by which Mary Magdalene. and
Peter, and John had gone. Behold, Jesus
met them. saying. All hail:" Rejoice" !"
by the feet:" Clasped His feet In reverent,
affectionate Joy, to make sure that 1t was
indeed their Lord, and to express their
gladness. "And worshiped Him. With
religious worship or alteration.

they were going:" While they were away
on this errand. 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. H62-66). 'Shewed
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.
H. Gave large money unto the solders:"
The report the soldiers made was SO dam
gerous to their own lives. that no small
sum could induce them to crminate them
selves; but the entire results of all the ef
Sorts to destroy Jesus seemed to depend
upon it.
13. Say ye. His disciples came by night
and stole Him away while we slept" The
a5surdity and stupidity of this statement
are apparent on the face of 1t. The dis
ciples had no motive for stealing the body
Taey did not expect resurrection. They
did not know its Importance. What could
they have done with the body to escape de-
tey1iCn?
