The resurrection Of the Body.

The Resurrection Of the Body.
Easter Sunday will be observed in
yao,uk by especially fine music in all
the churches of the city, both evan
ecal and Catholic. Following are
ome of the programs of interest which
ave been received at this office:
lady said to me recently: "Mr. (
\ and So believes in the resurrec-
ion of the body" She said it in way /
hat implied that she regarded such u
helief as absurd. Many protested fol
owers Of Christ are explaining away
he great fact of the rising OF the
lead. A minister said recently in my
hearing: when | die my soul goes
Fo God and He gives me new body /
and am done with the old body for
ever The day of my death IS the
Iaav Of my resurrection. This preach
Dr. evidently does not believe in the
Rising of the dead from their graves !
Panl says: IF the dead rise not,
|then Christ is not risen" The death
blow is struck to all our faith, our
FIXTURE hope, our whole salvation.
But now is Christ risen from the
dead and become the first-fruits of
them that slept" The first fruits of a
wheat field are like the rest of the
harvest or the harvest is like the first
,ipe heads and also the assurance of
the harvest. "In Christ shall all be
made alive In Revelation we are
ltold of a FIRST resurrection and then
the rest of the dead lived not till The
Thousand years were finished" The
second death has no power on him
who has part in the first resurrection.
Jesus said. "The hour cometh in
(which all that are in the tombs shall
hear His voice and shall come forth,
they that have done good unto the res
urrection of life and they that have
done i'll until the resurrection of judg-
nent."
Jesus Himself came forth out of the
temb. He challenged the disciples
and said Handle Me and see, for
spirit hath not flesh ard bones as
ye see Me to have. He assembled
into the skies with an actual resurrect-
ed body. ! believe today He has the
same body He had at Nazareth when
He worked at the carpenter trade.
believe that like Him we too shall rise
with bodies untainted with sin or any
corruption yet with real bodies-the
very same bodies we had here on
earth. At this glad Easter time let
US cherish this simple scriptural com
'orfing Old doctrine: Il believe n the
resurrection of the dead"
