THE RESURRECTION LIFE.

The fact of the resurrection of Christ
from the dead is the keystone in the arch
of the Christian faith Like the great
mountain peak that thrusts itself out into
thelsea defying wind and wave, this pivotal
truth has beaten back all the arguments
the assailants have brought against it.
Undisputable evidence bear witness to
three granite truths. Any careful reader
may attest these by referring to the
sacred records, which have borne the test
of modern investigation. The facts are
% Jesus was dead. Plate made sure of
this before allowing His body to be re-
moved from the cross. ~ Jesus was
buried. Joseph and Nicodemus, two de-
vout members of the Sanhedrin, and Sc
cret followers of Christ begged His body
and buried it in Joseph's "ownnew tomb"
which he had hewn out in the rock. 49,
In spite of the fact that the Romans kept
vigilant watch night and day, on the third
day the tomb was empty. The excuse
that the disciples stole Him away while
we slept" is a fiimsy lie. How could they
know what was being done when they
were asleep? Besides the disciples had
no cause for removing the body of Jesus.
The enemies of Jesus were powerless in
the face of the empty grave and the
disciples began fearlessly and joyfully to
proclaim: HE is not here, for HE IS RISEN"
Historical fact is one thing, and person
al experience is quite another. We need
both. To properly attest the power
Christ Resurrection, we must find the
new life in Him. Victor Hugo eX-
presses this great living truth in the fol-
lowing: Il feel in myself the future life.
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring
is in my heart. The nearer | approach
the end the palmer hear around me the
immortal symphonies of the world which
invite me, II is marvellous. yet simple

of what is in me- When so down to

not say, I have finished my life My
DAVIS work will begin again the next
morning. The tomb is not blind alley

much fewerthan they are with advant-

perhaps the office holders. We can
make this statement because in pro-

SEARcHLlGHTS IN WAR.
How They Are Worked by Distant
Control III and Operations.

Control Inland Operations.
In modern warfare the searchlight
Is invaluable. On dark nights at sea
1t Is the only means OF guarding
against torpedo boats. which its beams
will reveal at distance or two miles
and more.
On shore 1t Is the electric eye of the
army. 1t is carried to all parts OF the
field Of action by motor truck. and the
motor that propels the vehicle drives
the electric generator that supplies the
current for the light.
Most Of these field searchlights are
not directed by hand, for each instru-
ment Is fitted with what Is known as
the distant control. Two small motors
govern the vertical and the horizontal
movements OF the fight. From them
an electric cable runs to the station
OF the operator. who, although he may
be several hundred feet away. can
send the rays OF the light in any direc-
ton he pleases.
According to the Navy and Army
Illustrated. one advantage OF this dis
tant control Is that the objects picked
up by the beam of light can be sighted
more quickly and more definitely, for
IL the operator stands behind the light
and looks along the beam his vision
is hampered by a luminous haze. A
second advantage Is that the light can
be placed In an exposed position with
out endangering the men who run it.
Were the operator and officer beside
the apparatus they would be certain
to receive the fire that is sure to be
poured upon searchlight and would
suffer the instant the range was found.
