Positive Proof.

Strauss. one of the leading rationalistic
critics OF Germany, says that There is
more historic evidence Of the resurrection
of Christ than of the life and death OF
Julius Caesar The truth concerning
our Lords resurrection has been tested
in the crucible of hostile criticism and
the incontestable fact has been proven
by accredited and competent testimony.
The record of the resurrection reveals
that the apostles were not credulous men.
They would not accept the almost incred-
ible fact without positive proof. Paul
refers to six of the twlve recorded APP
pearances of the risen Lord, probably N
the chronological order, proving by his
bodily appearance the fact OF Chrlsts
resurrection.
In the providence of God these
demonstrations were furnished in
great variety and at various times:
morning, noon. afternoon and evening.
The appearances were seldom repeated

circumstances In the open, along the
road, by the lake, near the tombstone
and on the mountain. He appeared in

The Life to Live.

The kind of life We should live is told
by Paul in his letter to Titus, in which
he said: 1.-THE grace Of God that bringeth
salvation hath appeared to all men,
teaching us that. denying ungodliness and
worldly lustS, We should live soberly
righteously and godly in this present
world looking for that blessed hope, and
the glorious appearing of the great God
and our Savior Jesus Christ. who gave
Himself for US. that He might redeem US
from all in!quity and purify unto Himself
a peculiar people. Jealous of good works.
The life to live, then. according to
Paurs teaching, is the life in which sin
is abandoned. denying ungodliness and
worldly lusts." This phrase includes the
whole body Of sins. 1t means to put
away all unbelief. all neglect. all disre-
spect of the Divine Being. all lack of love
or trust in Him. all disobedience to His
laws and all profanations of His name
and day, all corrupt and vicious desires
and affections. all sensuality and filth
ness, all covetousness. and all impure
thoughts and conversation. Put away all
these for 1t is written, They that are
Christ's have crucifed the nesh with the
affections and lusts.
And, further. PauTs teaching is that the
right kind of life is not made up of
negatives only. To abandon sin is i'm
portant and necessary, but there is some
thing more required We must do good
as we'll as eschew evil. We are to live
soberly, righteously and godly in this
present world" The true life is summed
up in this: to deny all ungodliness and
to do the things that are godly. All sin

sion. The most complete and perfect
de6nftion of sin ever given in human
language. 1 believe. is in these words:
"Sin is any want OF conformity unto or
transeression of the law OF God"
Then the life that transgresses the least
and conforms the most to the require
ments of Gods law is the life that we
should wish to live; and it is the only
life, II we miss 1t. that We shall wish We
had lived.

The Kind of Life We
Shall Wish We Had Lived.
Luke, I6:Io-31.
The Great Wish.

TIT is generally true that but little
value can be placed on wishes.
In idle wishes fools supinely stay:
Be there q will and wisdom finds way.
The purpose is much more important
than the wish but the wish may give
birth and vigor to the purpose. and for
that reason our wishes should be for
worthy and attainable objects. After We
are dead and gone, to wish we had lived
differently will be of no avail. Both the
wishing and the doing are for this life.
The true believers in Christ will have
no occasion to wish at all in the life be-
yOnd, for they shall be satisfied when
they awake in His likeness; and for the
unbelievers in the hereafter it will be too
late to wish.
The thing to do is to not only wish, but
determine now to 1--we the kind Of life
that God requires If we live right we
will die right. The great wish is ex-
pressed in the words of Balaam: Let
me die the death of righteousness, and
let my last end be like His
