BY A LOCAL PASTOR

I just as we do; that fatigue preyec
upon his frame, as ii does on ours;
that ambition adm pride beckoned tt

they do to you and to me.

rows,
Through deaths valley has He

Lord of earth and sky forever,
/ Christ the Lord with power SUI
preme,
Born OF woman in manger,
Once a lowly Nazarene,
Christ as never harsh in His judg-
ment of mankind, though He was des-
pissed and rejected Of men, baffled al
every turn by the very ones whom He
came to help. How His great heart
was bursting with their rejection OF
Him as he exclaimed, '.Oh Jerusalem

unto thee; fisy pften would l have

her wing, but ye would not
The Saviour's great purpose to re-
deem man from sin was kept ever in
view. By His stainless life, spent in
unselfish service, Christ conquered
sin, showing that it was possible for
cur humanity when animated by His
spirit to attain unto perfection. But
the last and greatest enemy. the foe
that had absolutely baffled every
prophet and sage since creation s
dawn, was Death. Other teachers
had been moral; others had held up
worthy ideals of life and had taught
unselfishness; but none had been
able to solve the great mystery of the
/ beyond. Socrates when his enemies
decreed his death, calmly drank the
poisoned cup and passed bravely into
the great darkness, leaving no ray OF
hope to guide his pupils beyond the
tomb. Socrates died like hero, but
Jesus Christ died like God,'' Sure
ly Godlike is the least word we can
apply to that love which was willing
to assume, the accumulated weight of
the sins of the world, to die a ransom
for all mankind; in order that life
and light and hope in Immortality
might come to man, lost in the dark
ness and degradation of sin.
/ Men have wondered that the
strong, vigorous young life of Jesus
should have gone out in few briel
but bitter hours upon the cross
while the criminals executed upon
either side of him had to have their
limbs broken that they might die be-
fore the Sabbath Day. 1t was not the
physical gony of the crucifixion that
killed cur Lord. That which crushe ed
Him, causing His great heart to burst
with griefv was the burden of the
worlds sim which He, though guilt
less, had TO bear. AS He hung and
suffered 'twixt earth and sky, nc

mound. He bore it all alone. All
how this loneliness must have dou.

loving hands lowered the nail-pierced
body from the cruel cross. Tenderly
the weeping friends laid the beloved
form in Joseph's new tomb. He was
dead, their friend and teacher, He
who was so gentle and so god, He
who stilled the tempest and who call
ed unto His arms the little children.
But could He whose voice had
brought Lazarus forth from the tomb
be held by Deaths gloomy portals?
Not So Sin and Death had been con-
quered. The gates of the unseen
world opened wide, and Jesus came
forth, victor over the grave. Human
ity's problem was solved. Christ had
again demonstrated His wonderful
claim, made at the tomb of His friend
in Bethany, 81 am the resurrection
and the life. He that believeth on
me, though he were dead yet shall he
live; and he that liveth and believ-
eth ON me shall never die"
And what was the effect of the
resurrection? The weeping, discour-
aged band of disciples were instantly
galvanized into life and an activity
that shook the old world to its foun-
dations So certain were they of the
fact of the resurrection and of its
meaning, that in the city where it
took place, where men had every op-
portunity of learning of it from eye
witnesses, three thousand men ac-
cepted 1t unquestionably at its first
public proclamation; and the next
day five thousand more became fol-
lowers of Jesus at Peters second
great sermon. From Jerusalem the
good news spread; not only that
Death had been conquered, that the
future belonged to man through
Gods grace; but that old class dis
tinctions were abolished, that all men
were brethren in Christ Jesus
There is no fact in history better
established and authenticated than
the resurrection of Jesus. Our only
way of knowing about any event that
happened before cur time is through
the evidence of reliable witnesses.
What men on history's pages stand
cut more truthful, purer and more de-
voted than do the apostles and saints
who gave their lives to the witness
OF the resurrection? What other fact
in history is sustained by such won
derful testimony as the blood of the
martyrs, the light of Nero's human
torches. and the spreading of the Cos
real was the resurrection to these
men of old that Paul could exclaim,
"Oh death, where is thy sting; Oh
grave, where is thy victory? Thanks
be unto God who giveth us the vic
tory through our Lord Jesus Christi"
Have the power and the joy of the
Easter miracle come into your life
and mine? Has the resurrection
freed us from the bOnds of sin and
mortality, giving us a hope and an
outlook that is eternal? AS Christ
laid down His life for mankind. and
rose victor over Death and He'll; are
we ready to live lives of sacrifice and
service that We too may come off mere
than eonquerors in the deadly battle
against lust and selfishness Oh the
futility, the pettiness, the hopeless
ness of living for self alonel The
pleasure we thus seek turns into dust
and ashes Poor self-deceivers that
we are, we become of all men the
most miserable. Christ has the only

them that sleep. II Cor. 1920.
Them that sleep''-thus Paul
characterizes the untold millions who
lived. struggled and died upon this
earth since first the flight of time be-
gan. Who can tell what aspirations,
what hopes, what Victories and de-
feats arose and then fell before the
relentless sweep of Times all-con-
quering scythei Oh the long dark
centuries in which mankind strug-
gled with no ray of hope to guide
them beyond deaths gloomy portal!
Oh the sad years when the grave
seemed to end nll, when each death
bed meant farewell forever. Small
wonder that the world seemed but a

And, poured round all, old oceans S

the great tomb of man"
How dark the picture! Nor was
man content! Man, whom God made
I but little lower than the angels; in
whose breast he planted the spark of
Immortality. Man began to search
after God and the life beyond, if hap
! ly he might find them. And so. we
see the philosophers and noble men of
old spending their lives in study and
meditation. Step by step, it dawned
upon them that man was not made to
die. Socrates was confident of the
immortality of the soul. Cato's hope
( is voiced in the lines:
at must be so-Plato thou reasonest
we'll,
Z Else whence this pleasing hope, this
fond desire,
I This longing after Immortality.
Even blase and worldly-wise Ath-
ems recognized that there We're forces
! beyond her ken, and built an altar to
"the unknown God"
! So. after forty centuries of aspira-
tion. of longing. when every human
effort to solve the puzzle had failed.
God took pity on his creation, and
sent His only son to lead men to the
/ light. Gcd was not content that man
whom he had created for high and
noble ends should longer struggle in
the dark. Heaven is so large a place
that there is room for all in the Faith
ers house. There is no man so hum
BILE that he will not be missed if he
fails to win an entrance into the
Holy City.
So, the Son eli God left his place at
/ the head OF the glittering ranks of
angels, laid aside for a time his king

I into this wodld as a man. Christ as
sumed the whole of our mortality.
AS Paul says, Being made in the
I likeness of man. and being found in
/ fashion as n man, he became obedient
unto death" If these words mean
anything, they tell us that Jesus in
his earth life was subject to all our
human temptations and weakness;
