The Glorious News.
We are all ready to carry good news

But there is one other fact that |
would impress upon your thoughts in
this Easter afternoon revelation. AS |

Some Of us in our past lives know |

village seven and onc-half miles from |
Jerusalem and having a divine rcycla-

Christ? God forbid that my Saviour's
Scared hands and Scared feet and
Scared brow ana Scared side should |
in this Easter afternoons revelation
appeal to you in vain,
