coming.
II. Solution of Great Mystery.
We must not condemn those stunned
and stricken men; for even after all
these years, how almost unthinkable is
the whole mystery of redemption. With
the poet we may truly say:
IT'S mystery all; the Immortal dies;
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the first born seraph tries
To sound the depths of Love Divine.
IT'S mystery all: let earth adore:
Let angel minds inquire no more.
But the risen Savior does not mean
that those whom He died to save should
live in ignorance of the fact and I'M
portance of so mighty a conSummat1on as
His conquest of the implacable enemy
of mankind. death: SO. Beginning at
Moses and all the prophets" He expound-
ed unto them in all the Scriptures the
things concerning Himself; and the soiu-
ton Of the mystery was theirs.
III. The Birth of a Great Hope.
And now in their bosom there is born
a great hope. This hope is not theirs
alone; it is ours. Yea, more. 1t Is the
heritage of Gods children so long as time
shall last We are not born to die; we
are born to live. The tomb is not the
final resting place; for by the eternal
life, purchased for us by this now
living Lord. the tomb is but a gateway
to the skies; an arch Of triumph for the
overcoming children of Gods grace.
With Wesley we may sing
Vain the stone, the watch. the seal.
Christ hath burst the gates Of hell.
Death in vain forbids His rise:
Christ hath opened Paradise.
Lives again our glorious King;
Where. Death. is now thy sting?
Once He died our souls to save;
Where's thy victory. boasting grave:

Mate Tea.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Although most OF the worlds coffee Il
grown in South America. there are some
South American states where IL Is hardly
drunk at all. In no country is coffee SO
dear as in Argentina, for the simple
reason that only foreigners ask, for It.
The natives of Argentina drink mate, or
Paraguay tea, as it is sometimes called.
Among the working classes this is drunk
as freely and frequently as beer in this
country. And after dinner, instead OF
coffee, many Argentine housekeepers
serve basin of soup, which guests from
abroad find some difficulty In swallowing.
Attempts have been made to popularize
mate IA Europe. but these have never
proved successful.

Interpretation of the resurrection OF
Jesus Here the Risen Lord Himself

the dramatist himself interpreted the

The story of the resurrection would in

chapter 1t is here that the plot OF the
eternal ages is suddenly made bare; and
we behold the purposes of God.
AS we read this story. three thoughts
spring into being; thoughts that are
born of the Scripture and the theme Of
the day.
I. The Shadow of a Great Grief.
How genuine was the sorrow of those
mourners for the crucifed Christ. SO
deep was the gloom Of their despair that
the risen Lord used 1t as a means of in
PRODUCTION and approach.
Grief in bereavement is no shameful
sin. Disappointment at the failure Of
noble plans is not blameworthy. Their
hearts were broken with the seeming
failure of Gods great redemptive plan;
and the risen Christ did not condemn
their grief, but their lack OF faith. They
wept in Doubling Castle" with the
Key" in their own possession. Had they
not been most worthy of regard, the
Eternal King would surely not have spent
the first few hours of His triumph In tho

On the very morning He arose He ap-

Shortly after this He appeared to three

Victory or Defeat.

Has Christ won?
Has He indeed risen?
If not. then man shall not win. All
depends upon the truth Of three little
words:
He is risenv'
II they be not true. all life is defeat
Death Is forever king. and the grave is
evermore victorious
Longings may remain, but there is no
light shining from the other shore If the
stone was not rolled away from Christ 3
sepulchre.
On what evidence do we rest our be-
lief in the resurrection?
There Is more historical proof from
more reliable sources that Christ rose
from the dead than there is proof that
the Caesars ever reigned in Rome or the
Ptolemies ruled in Egypt. The evidence is
singulariy complete and striking.
While living He asserted that He was
''the resurrection and the life" and also
that He would arise on the third day.
This naturally caused not only His
friends but His enemies to have In mind
the matter Of His appearance. The lat
ter were specially interested In order to
provide against the possibility of decep
ton.
It has been claimed by those who are
antagonistic to gospel history that Christ
appeared only to Els personal friends and
assume that their testimony should not
be relied upon In view Of their, interest.
