] Now late on the sabbath day, as
il began TO dawn toward the first
day Of the week. came Mary MaKda-
lene and the other Mary to see the
sepulcher. ? And behold, there was
a great earthquake: for an angel Of
the Lord descended from heaven. and
came and rolled away the stone, and
sat upon IL. 3 His appearance was
as lightning. and his rainent white
as snow: 1 aud for fear OF him the
watchers did quake, and becnrne aE
dead men. And the angel answer
ed and said unto the women, Fear
not We; for / know that We seek Je-
sus. who hath been erucified. 6 He
Is not here: for he Is risen, even as he
said. Come, see the place where the
Lord lay Z And go quickly, and
tell his disciples. He is risen from the
dead; aud 10, he goeth before you
into Galilee; there shall We see him:
10, have told you. And they de-
parted quickly from the tomb with
fear and great JOY. and ran TO bring
his disciples word. 3 And behold,
Jesus met them, saying, All hail.
And they came and took hold of his
feet, and worshiped him. 10 Then
saith Jesus unto them. Fear not. go
tell my brethren that they depart
into Galilee, and there shall they see
me.

taken counsel, they gave much mon

We balmed and we bathed Him,
Loyalty, lovingly,
Tenderly gwathed him:
With cerecloth and band
For the grave we arrayed him;
But O, he is gone
From the place where we laid him.

From the four gospels the circum-
stantial evidence OF the resurrection
Of Jesus may be CLEANED and arrang-
cd as follows:
l. The reality OF Jesus death.
