still a Mystery.
Viewed from its miraculous side and
ooklng at 1t from the supernatural
standpoint, while 1t unfolds to many
ne o,nnipotence and glory Of God, the
resurrection still remains a mystery of

Views of the Resurrection.
In these times of scientific research
few intelligent Christians will dare
openly to assert that Jesus actually
rose from the dead with some physical
body. Yet this is Undoubtedly what
Paul asserted SO positively is vital,
not only to their faith, but also to their
salvation. His appearances are now
spoken OF as spiritual only. But this
Is not a resurrection as the primitive
Chritians understood it; for they could
not conceive a life beyond without the
body.-Rev. Thomas Clayton, Unita-
rian, pittsburg.
Under Authority.
The fact that Christ was under au-
thority needs nc argument. Christ did
please himself. When q man says
he Is master OF himself he 10 deceived,
although he thinks he Is expressing
his manhood. 1t Is not necessary for
! man to believe in any particular kind
OF religion. Christ does not ask a man
to believe anything about him, but to
In him. Christ says you mag
bring your life to him just as It Is and
put yourself under his control. This
Is real, honest, simple submission to
Chr.st--ET Campbell Morgan,
Evangelist. at Hartford.
