death on the earth, who gave us Jesus
for an example and Saviour through
His shed blood. We are to show this
love by loving one another. It is only
as this love extends, not alone to our
family and kinsmen, but to all who
need it, that we grow into the full
measure OF what God demands. He
asks fruits of kindness, gentleness,
long suffering, thinking no evil, for
giving one another even as God for
Christ's sake has forgiven us. This
truth cannot be too strongly impressed
on the mind.
We now come to what is to me the
towering things about our lesson of
this week. The question through all
ages has been eff man die shall he
live again?" All have seems their
loved one die, and how the heart has
yearned to know just what the future
had in store for the departed one and
for us. 8
Hear the answer of Jesus and rest
ing on it by faith gain comfort and
assurance of immortality. Here is
what Jesus said: "IF AfMAN LIVETH
AND BELIEVETH IN ME, HE SHALL
NEVER DIE"
This is the most important declara-
ton of the bible to me. 1t sweeps
away all doubt and fear and puts you
and me out in the sunlight; it plants
our feet on rocks whose foundation
shall never be moved. These words
should be as familiar to us as the let
ters of the alphabet, as the numbers
we use in business that two and two
are four. Just stop to think what the
words mean. We know we are alive
and thus the promise is ours. We are
to believe on Jesus, and receive never
ending eternal life. There is to be no
state Of non-eXistence but life, life on
forever. Why this thought is simply
overpowering; it's full meaning words
do not express. No death, but life.
But what about that life? What
will be our condition? Shall we have
the earth loves for each other? Will
we have bodies recognizable by their
likeness to those we have here on
earth? These are great and vital
things to know and everyone is right
interested to find out. Well, Jesus
right in the lesson verses of the week
answers these questions to my salts
faction and that is saying great deal.
There were certain people in the
days Of Jesus called Sadducees, who
did not believe in life after death and
thus no resurrection. These men put
the question to Jesus as to whose wife
in heaven woman would be who had
been married here on earth seven
times. They thought they had given
a question which would throw ridicule
on life after earthly DEATH AS the
answer of Jesus is so very important
shall give it just as the bible says
as follows:
''Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God.
''They which shall be accounted
worthy to obtain that world, and
the resurrection from the dead,
neither marry, nor are given in
marriage.
Neither can they die any more,
for they are equal unto the angels;
and are the children of God, being
the children of the resurrection.
when they shall rise from the
dead they are as the angels in
heaven.
He is not the God of the dead,
but of the living; for all live Mto
Him.
These words are found in Matt. %,
1882; Mark II, 24-27 and Luke 20, a.

This is the answer of Jesus as to
he future for you and me. After read

but JOY and gladness, a facing Of the
