Easter.

The golden text for this part of our
lesson is Rev, lis. II am He. that liveth
and was dead: and behold, am alive
forevermore'
Easter Is festival by which we cele-
brate the resurrection Of Jesus Christ
from the dead. The resurrection Of Christ
is fundamental truth In all Christian
teaching. It is true that II Is an astound-
ing doctrine. We could not expect. nor
could we desire, that the doctrine would
pass unchallenged. There is that in doubt,
aye, In skepticism, that is wholesome. and
that tends to the confirmation Of the
saints In the truth. He who has no ca
pacaty for doubt has no capacity for
faith. And the strongest faith is that
which has fought its way up through hon
est doubt.
The resurrection OF Christ is twin sister
to the doctrine Of the incarnation Be-
lieve the one, and the other follows OIL
necessity. But, it Is objected. how can we
believe in the impossible? In all nature,
and through all the ages, e1e insect, beast,
bird, man that is once dead Is dead ror-
ever Nature knows nothing OF resur-
rection Well, be ii so, nature knows
nothing of an incarnation. Admit this
and the other follows, as the waving har-
vest follows the sprouting grain.
For two thousand years this doctrine OF
Gibraltar, challenging the faith OF men,
and, in too many instances, receiving in
reply the assaults of it's enemies. But,
after all these centuries Of conflict. faith
in this doctrine is undimmed. and Ats glory
is untarnished Sunday after Sunday, in
increasing numbers, and with q fuller
faith the church Is repeating it's ''credo"
The shout of the early Christians. 1.-THE
Lord is risen indeed" is re-echoing
through the dawn Of the twentieth CEN
fury. And the shout sweils in majesty
and glory as the ages roll on. One day II
shall fill the earth.

The Teacher.

Six lessons. the fourth to the ninth. in
elusive. are taken up with His teaching.
". This is a revela ton of real blessed
ness. 1T is to be found within in charac-
ter that is godlike.
v. This treats Of some of the laws of
the new kingdom. Here we see that Law
has It's origin In God. It f. eternal and
Interchangeable. It's basis is love- He who
loves God with all the heart and his
neighbor as himself has kept all the law
and the prophets.
vi. This lesson shows some of the
fruits of this kingdom when 1t is estab-
1isf1ed in the heart. Almsgiving, the use
OF our means for the elevation OF our fell
lows. and prayer. communion. and fellow
ship with God.
WI. Hspe We have a warming against
wW'idatness, the ain and curse Of this end
revealed and set before US. God should
be recognised always and in all things.
Only heavenly treasures are imperishable.
VIII. The Golden Rule, the doing to
others as we would have them do unto
U.s. This is a commandment, obedience TO
which is possible to those only who have
been made partakers of the nature of
Christ. To such every commandment of
God is possible.
TX. This last lesson dealing with the
specific teaching of Jesus brings us face
to face with the nature and necessity of
submission to Christ. The doer of the
commandments of Christ and he alone is
safe. All others shall perish and be swept
away His sayings are the rock: all other
foundations are sand.

showed His power In the cure of lep-
rosy. of palsy and of fever: in the cast
ing out of demons; and in all kinds of
healing. We showed that in these in
stances Jesus demonstrated that He is
the fountain of life and health, and from
Him streams of life went forth to cleanse
and to heal the diseased.
In the eleventh lesson we have the
story of two mighty works, by one of
which He awes and terrifies the disciples
by the exhibition of His power over the
forces of nature. The truth is beginning
to dawn upon them that Jesus cannot be
classed with other men. What manner
of man is this?'' Verse ~ This question
was answered in a most unexpected way
by the demons which He cast out of the
possessed man of Gadara-"Jesus. Thou
Son of Cod
The twelfth lesson shows Him exercis-
ing the power that God alone possesses.
He forgives sins, and in proof of HIS
power TO do this He commanded the
paralytic to rise. take up his bed and
walk And the man obeyed
There is in these lessons an entire sys-
TEN Of theology. They reveal the holi-
ness of God, the sinfulness OF man, -the
need of forgiveness. and the readiness
Of God to use all His power for the heal
ing and the salvation of man. These are
truths that deserve prominent place
in every creed. With these assthe guide
of our lives we shall know God and be
partakers OF His salvation NOW and for
ever.
