HE VISITS EVERY CIVILIZED
COUNTRY OF THE GLOBE.
And Finds a Reward for His Labor
Wherever He breaches the
the Word of His
Faith.

He labors far and wide, and that his
efforts are not fruitless is evidenced
by the large number Of converts yearly
added to the Mormon sect. The SOUTH
ern states of our own land have proven
especially impressiorable in THIS mat
ter: and thousands Of emigrants from
he old world enter United States ports
bound for Utah and the religion loilo~eu
by Utah's chief people.
In nearly all the large cities OF THIS
country Mormon missionaries are at
work, and in the country districts OF the
south, notieeably among the
GERS of Tennessee. AVE they reaped
large harvests of followers. The peas

Scandinavia have been not a little IN

A recent dispatch from Copenhagen
reported the Mormon missionaries prop
uganda in that city had become so active
they were distributing literature even
within the Danish churches. urging

be said there are very few, if any, Irish
among the Mormons), but on the con-
tinent." Mormonism has found many
followers in Mexico, and also in the
Hawaiian islands, but in the latter place
polygamy has never been practiced.
Mormon missionaries began work in
Hawaii more than so years ago, n
to-day there are a large number of Nor
mons on these islands, in all parts of the
group.
1t has long been the custom to send
the Mormon missionary forth without
scrip or purse. That he has returned
often with riches and an army of fol-
lowers suggests the zeal with which
these men carry IN their work, or at
least the ingratiating manner by means
of which they are able to make head
way. One writer boldly declares that

cause the resurrection of your Lord
is not a real, living, vital hope within
you. You do not realize the height and
depth and length and breadth OF its
meaning. You have accepted the fact
of Christ's resurrection. You believe
it much as those disciples believed II
as they talked in a vague and wonder
ing way about the miraculous events
of that day. You need to have Jesus
come and speak peace with all OF It's
fullness and sweetness to your heart
even as He did to the disciples on that
first Resurrection day.
DEACE came to the disciples as they
| realized the literalness and mean
ing of the resurrection of Christ. And
so must peace come to the heart OF the
Christian always. The consciousness
that his Lord is a living Lord, a LORD
who is in Heaven at the right hand OF
God, the Father, with the changed ana
glorified body of the flesh which He
possessed during His earthly career,
must thrill his being, chasing away doubt,
giving heroism and definiteness of pur-
pose. Oh, but you say, If could only
have stood with those disciples in that
upper room and beheld with the natural
eve the risen Lord, if | could have had
the convincing proof which was vouch-
safed to Thomas and put my fingers in
the nail prints in His hands and feet,
and thrust my hand in His side, then
would the resurrection of Christ be more
real and certain to me, and 1t would ex-
ert a more powerful influence over my
life. All, faithless one, you forget what
Jesus said: Blessed are they that have
not seen, and yet have believed" You
forget how co%nvincingly and overwhelm-
ingly God has testified to the resurrec-
ton of Christ by His witnesses during
those 40 days, until the company of dis
ciples gathered on Mount Olivet beheld

how to Paul was granted a vision of

that we have a witness within, the Holy
Spirit, to testify of the Chris and make

truth about Jesus crucifxion and res

THE resurrection confirms and illu

THE resurrection confirms and illu-
L inmates the sacrifice made on the
cross, it overcOmes death, and it proves
the earnest of present conquest and I'LL
innate and glorious triumph. "a dead
Christ" says Edersheim, might have
been a Teacher and a Wonder-Worker,
and remembered and loved as such.
But only a living and risen Christ
could be the Saviour, the Life, and
the Life-giver, and as such preached
to all men," And you remember how
forcibly Paul puts it to the CORN
thians, to whom some false teachers
were declaring that there was no res
direction. He says: "If the dead are
not raised, neither hath Christ been
raised; and if Christ hath not been
raised, yOur faith is vain; We are yet
in your sins" This fact of the resur-
rectiOn is 'the foundation of the
Church, the inscription of the banner
of her armies, the strength and COM
fort of every Christian heart, and the
grand hope of humanity" How glOri-
Gus and full OF meaning is the cross
when we know that on the other side
is the empty tomb and the risen Lord.
What did the cross NEAR to those dis
ciples until they understood the reality
of Christ's resurrection? They knew
that cross had borne the body of their
Lord. They saw His body embalmed in
spices and laid in the sepulcher. But
think you that during those dark and
awful days they realized what that
cross meant to them? Think you that
they realized that Jesus had died for
their sins and the sins of the whole
world? Think you that they had a
sense of sins forgiven. l tell you nay,
for such was impossible until they
realized and understood His resurrec-
ton. The disciples had seen the dead
raised, but it was only to this life.
The dissolution of the body must be
endured again. The widows son mus
die again and be buried; Lazarus must
again go into the tomb. They saw
death controlled, but not overcome.
But when they saw Jesus risen and
changed in His gloriied body, they
knew that death had been overcome.
"Death was swallowed up in victory"
And with a Lord who could overcome
Satan in the wilderness, who could
endure the cross, and march in tri-
umph through the tomb, overcoming
death and the grave-what confidence
and conscious power would be born in
the hearts of His followers. With
such a Conqueror and such a Leader
it needed only the command go ye,'
and the descent of the Holy Spirit,
to send the disciples forth to the con-
quest and on, on, towards the glorious
triumph which is yet to crown the
banner and cross of Jesus Christ. The
light and glory of the resurrection
reach back to the cross and vitilize the
sacrifice there made, fill all the present
with mighty power and hope, and ex-
tend on and on through eternity.

all doubt was taken away, and glad be-
cause their Lord came with a message

THERE were three distinct phases
/ to the fearful troubled condition of
the disciples hearts as. they gathered
in that upper Dor that night, and
they set forth similar conditions which
exist with Christians to-day. First OF
all, their hearts were filed with doubts
and with a sense of their disloyalty and
faithlessness to their Lord. In the
second place, they were in mortal
dread of the Jewish rulers, and lastly,
their life's hopes and plans, their ex-
pectation of filling a glorious mission,
were all shattered and gone, n they
knew not whittier to turn. A doubt
ing and guilty heart, a cowardly fear
of enemies, a dark, uncertain future
what kind of condition was this?
Surely there was no peace there. Sure
Iy it could not be expected that those
disciples were ready or able to do eff
fcient or faithful service. And how
can it be expected of you and me that
we can serve our Lord with honor and
success while DOUBT and guilty con.
science crowd our hearts? What kind
of soldiers will we make If we feal
and tremble before the enemy and dare
not stand boldly forth. for truth anc
righteousness? To what purpose VII
we serve if we do not realize our hlgf
calling and destiny? bow is it witt

0DEACE!" Peace which passeth all
understandings" Peace which
makes the troubled sea a calm. Peace
which makes the soul Indifferent to en-
emies without; to trial, persecution,
hardship, danger. Peter who had cow
cred before a maiden and in fear de-
MED his Lord, learned what that peace
meant. and he could face Jewish mObs
and preach fearlessly; he could stand
boldly in the presence of the Jewish
rulers and charge them with the death
of Jesus. And so with all the other dis
ciples. AS the peace Of the risen Lord
came to rule in their hearts they were
Indifferent alike to dangers, or trials,
or prosecutions. They always rode
above the storm, for they knew the
meaning and power of the resurrec-
ton, and that no peril, no difficulty,
no assault Of the enemy could come to
them except it was the will Of their ris-
en- Lord and for His glory and the ad-
yancement of His kingdom among
men. Peace, that wonderful peace

ence of the living Lord. Surely, If
that message of peace marked the Res

continue to be the message for all

nor was their gathering marked by
dignity. 1t is sad reflection that the
average city council is fairly repre-
sentative of its constituents. L is the
mirror of urban ignorance, deceit and
cupidity; of the varying grades of
venality, relieved by sprinkling of
upright, but too often impractical
men. Righteousness enactments are
wrung from such bodies only by fear
of public indignation, and corrupt
measures go down to defeat only when
detection and punishment faces the
rurchasable majority.
