betrayed and forsook Him. Who would hav
| thought of Him as a conqueror that Christina
night as He lay in the manger, or when He wa
carried away in haste into Egypt to escape tn
wrath of the cruel king! Who would have con

| the garden when His enemies bound Him and Hi
disciples fled away? Who would have recognized
Him as the Great King of Heaven and Earth as HI
sat In the courtyard clad in the purple robe Nitl
the crown of thorns ON His head, and reed, thc
sceptre of His Majesty, in His hand Who would
have adored Him as God, when, with pierced hands
and feet and opened side. He reigned from the
Cross over the world which he had redeemed with
His blood!
But He snatched victory from the very laws of
death. They laid Him in the tomb, they sealed the
door, they set the guards they went their way re-
1oicing that they had vanquished Him at last But
in His good time He rose like giant re-
freshed with sleep. He came forth from the tomb
and the earth trembled before Him. Death was
vanquished its victory broken its sting DESTROYED
for eyermore.
Never in the historv of mankind was there such
battle,
while in strange and awful strife.
Met together Death and Life"
And never was there such conoueror. Alex
ander Caesar Napoleon filled the world with their
renown. They went from land to land shatterinq
armies, deposing kings overthrowing dynasties
dlsposlng OF Kingdoms and signing that there were
no more worlds to conquer. But one day there came
nllghtler than they. Death knocked at their door
ana at his call, like the meanest of their subjects
they rose up and followed him. But there is one
,onqueror who has put death under His feet-Our
ord Jesus Christ-'the first fruits of them that
sleep. Apparently conquered, He invaded the
klngdom OF the dead and set free the spirits
that were in prison, and then returned to
proclaim that the enemy before whom all man
KIND trombled had lost his power. II will
deliver them out of the hands of death: I will
redeem them from the grave: o death, L
VIII be thy death; 0 grave, [ will be thy destruc-
tlon. death Is swallowed up in victory; 0 Death
where is thy victory! Death where is thy sting?'
Wherefore today, dear brethren, it is meet that
we should rejoice III the victory of our Lord and
Alng. His resurrection is the promise of ours.
lie trlumphed not for Himself alone but that we
TOO, might triumph over the grave. IF the spirit
OF Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell
IN you; He that raised up Jesus Christ from the
dead shall quicken also your mortal bodies because
OF dis spirit that dwelleth in you" Relying on
this blessed hope and promise let US animate our
selves to deeper loyalty and more willing service
Let us show our gratitude and loyalty not by words
1niy but by deeds also. In this way alone can we
prove that we are really His followers for they
lave no claim to share His triumph who are not will
ing to obey His commands.
