CARMACK ON RESURRECTION.
The Story of Jesus Despised Peasant
of GaIIiiee,

Among the writings of the late la
mented Edward Ward Carmack, is
the following gem:
II dispute no mans freedom of
opinion, though why any man should
be willing to believe that man has
no pre-eminence over beast | do
not know. You say that you can
not believe the miracle of the Resur-
rection. Let me tell you that story
of greater miracle than that. 1t
is the story of poor peasant, a
member of a dispised and subject
race, himself dispised, the place
of his birth despised by his own
countrymen. In little while he dies
felon's death, and all those above
him forget he ever lived. Yet some
with all its wisdom, priest-craft, with
all its terrors, kings welding the iron
power of all the world, but over arm
les, over dying dynasties and crumb-
of fire, that power swept on and on
until it has made conquest of the earth
until every king on every throne bows
down in alteration to the dead peas
ant Of Gallilee, and the very instru-
ment of his felon's death has become
a symbol of salvation to all mankind.
Do you believe that story? 1t is the
story Of greater miracle than that
man died and rose from the dead.
Young gentlemen, be not among those
who scoff at religion, which is the last
hope of the world, whose consolation
you yourself will need in the time of
afiiiction and the hour of death"
