Acts, IO:24-49.
Golden Text; "of a truth I perceive
that God is no respecter of persons; but
in every nation he that feareth him, and
worketh righteousness; is acceptable to
him.. Acts 1o:34-35.
The keynote of the preaching of the
apostles was the resurrection of Christ.
This is a noteworthy fact when we con-
slider that Peter had not believed 1t at
first and Paul had prosecuted those who
had preached it. Both of them, how
ever, were convinced of it's truth and
could not keep from telling it.
Years later on his second missionary
journey, Paul stopped at Corinth and
founded a church. On his third mission
airy journey he spent two years at
Ephesus and while there received let
ter from the Corinthian church, which
he answered in his first letter to the
Corinthians.
THE ULTIMATE TRIUMPH.
Today the thoughts of the world are
turning back to the time of Jesus
triumph over Satan when Satan had
done his worst For thirty years he
had tempted Him. During the past
three years he had put forth unusual
efforts, until finally on the Gay before
the Passover, his emissarles nailed
Jesus on the cross, where He hung until
He yielded up His spirit. He was buried
ECfore o'clock and He remained there
until Sunday morning. Then God raised
Him from the dead; lie took His life
again. ever living since then to make
intercession for us.
One of the things that troubled the
Corinthian church was the resurrection
of Jesus. Some members declared it
was impossible. In his letter, Paul
writes to show that it was true, be-
cause it was foretold and had been &C
cOmplished just as it had been fore
told in scripture; that it was true be-
cause of the number who were then
alive who had seen Him, who had recog-
nizedf Him, who had touched Him and
who could qualify as witnesses. There
were nearly 500 of such alive at the
time that He wrote whose testimony
would have been accepted as convincing
in any court today.
He showed them that it was true be-
cause Of the results which had followed
his preaching of it; and that unless it
was true, not only would his preaching
be untrue, but that they would be of
all men most pitiable.
Paul then asked and answered two
very important questions and his an
swer constitutes one of the strongest
evidences fthe resurrection. How
are the dead raised up? and with what
body to they Gomez" Paul had nc
doubt, whatever, of the fact of the
resurrection, and he showed conclusive
~ that there was cortumity of per-
sonality even though the celestial body
was different from the terrestrial, just as
tie seed which is sown is different from
the body with which it is clothed when
it comes up. He claims positively that

AN EASTER OFFERING.

Because thou hast been my help
therefore in the shadow of thy wings
will 1 rejoice"
Centuries ago when Jesus walked
upon this earth and associated with
humanity in the form Of man there
we're the busy occupations we have and
the same sort OF ambitions and aspira-
tions as the ones we entertain or tram
pie under foot. We are tcld of the great
temptations that were put before Him
and when we remember that Jesus knew
lie would suffer for the sins of the
world we feel sure that the human
part of our. Savior was tempted lust
as we so often are tempted TO avoid
pain or humiliation.
Therefore in these last days before
Easter. in these days that were spent
by Jesus in the agony of His physical
body. let us walk softly and try to put
our hearts and minds in tune with the
sorrow that assailed Mary, Joseph and
His followers.
Easter morning found them going ia
an empty tomb. bat they did not know
il when they started. Faithful to their
Lord, they were going to see the place
where He had been laid. And we know
not how many times, in their grief, they
RAY have said. I'VE do not understand
a Messiah that would redeem the Jew
ish people from their bondage, they
had not understood that It was to be
suiritual release-that their kingdom
was TO be heavenly and that peace in
their hearts would be the browning JOY
OF life.
I am sure that all OF the disciples
rcjoiced over the message. our Lord
hath risen." but think what 1t meant
to Peter, impulsive Peter. to set the
message from his disowned Master. II
should help all of us, so often like
Moses we assume credit for Gods work
through US. or in the flush of false
pride we disown the lowly Nazarene,
but in the midst of our tears, and our
prayers for forgiveness, comes the Com
fcrter to remind us that Peter was for
given and that he grew strong in his
faith and wrought a mighty work.
Joy to the world. the Lord hath come.
Let every heart have a holy of HOLES

"MrLEsroNEs OF LIFE"

Dear Mrs. Thomas:
When the summer days of youth are
rushing away into the evening of life,
and the shadows of the past grow
deeper and deeper as life wears to a
close, 1t is pleasant to look back upon
the vista of time to the joys and sup
posed sorrows of our early years. If
we have a home to shelter us, relatives
to rejoice with US, and friends who
have been gathering around our fire
side. then the rough places of our way
faring will be worn smooth in the
twilight of life, while the bright, sunny
spots we have passed through will have
grown brighter and more beautiful.
How strangely our ideas of growing
old change as we get on along life's
Journey. To the girl in her teens"
the woman of twenty-five seems quite
aged. Thirty-two thinks thirty-fve an
"old thing" Thirty-fve breads forty,
but congratulates herself that there
may still remain some ground to be
possessed in fifteen years before the
half century is attained.
There is a touch of pathos about
doing even the simplest things for the
last time. When you stand in some
quiet place, where you know you will
never stand again, perhaps. you feel a
bitterness in your mind, because 'of
the two words, never again"
We put away childhood toys with a
heartache. Life has larger and other
playthings Cd for us. May it not be
that they, too, shall be seen in the light
of some far-off day as the boyish
learn that death is but the opening Of
the gate into the Land OF Promise.
Sincerely yours,
ROBERTA STARR.
