Then Jesus opened the grave with
prayer. He knew the dramatic char
acter of that hour. Not a single hands

was to bring to a climax all the plots
OF His foes. None het less, with a
simple, son-like prayer to the Father
in heaven, He stopped down and cried,
Lazarus, come forth"
Yes, the dead obey Him. Christ
is lord of life and death. His voice
reached across the mysterious boun-
daries, and brought back the spirit of
His friend once more into its earthly
habitation. There are no words that
can make the wonder simple. At the
command of Jesus the gates of death
swung open, outward. Lazarus, an in
instant before a corpse. came back to
walk once more with his loved ones
the familiar haunts. He was to sit
again at the breaking of bread with
his Lord.
Christendom has heard this tale OF
Lazarus so often that the edge of
the marvel has gone from it. To all
who beheld it, this was the supreme
act of the ministry of Jesus. Even
though some disbelieved,-for seeing
is not believing, for the perverSe heart
the raising of Lazarus meant moth
ing less than the complete vindication
of the claims of Jesus to the Messiah
ship. He plainly shared Gods prerog-
ative of controlling life.
What Did Lazarus Know?
Browning has a poem about Laz-
arus, back from the realms beyond
tho grave. The idea is an alluring one.
What secrets were hidden in this
mans soul, as he returned for a time
to be as other men? We cannot know,
of course. Nobody has ever imagined
heaven. Countless poets have tried.
like that modern and daring bit of
poetry by Nicholas Vashel Lindsay,

Booth led boldly with his big bass
drum,

lamb"

Is Jesus Raises Lazarus From the
Dead."-John 11:17-44

BY William Il. ELLIS

most of all the comfort of compan-
ionship which fully understands.
Even the bystanders, orientals as
they were, and accustomed to extrav-
agant display of emotions, exclaimed,
as they saw Jesus groaning within
himself, and stirred by a convulsion
of affection and fellowship, Behold
how He loved him!" That is the spec
tacle of the ages: the love of Christ.
Our day makes much of His wisdom
and His leadership and His lordship;
let us not forget, though, that first of
all, and over all, Jesus reveals him
self in love so great that it breaks
these stubborn hearts of ours. When
ever we are tempted to think harsh
recall the shortest text of all, Jesus
wept." For there is nothing true of
Christ that is not a revelation of the
Father who sent Him.
TOO Good To BE True
Close as they were to His spirit,
Mary and Martha could not credit the
full import of His plan for them and
for Lazarus. When He would be di-
rected to the tomb, they tried to dis
suade Him. They could have trusted
their Lord up to q certain extent to
do wonders for their brother while he
was ill. But, as we have all been do
ing ever since, they put metes and
bounds to His power. That life should
come out of death seemed altogether
too good to be true" to quote the in
fdel phrase of our day. Why do scep-
tics and cynics question immortality?
Because it seems to a mind too proud

the Lamb ?"


Walking lepers followed, rank on rank,
Lurching bravos from the bitches
dank;
Drabs from the alleyways, and drug
fiends pale,-
Minds still observation-disclosures pow
ers frail!
Vermin-eaten saints, with moldy
breath
Are you washed in the blood of
the Lamb?"
Every slum had sent its half score
The round world o'er-Booth had
groaned for more.
Every banner that the wide world
flies
Bloomed with glory and transcendent
dyes;
Big-voiced lassies made their banjos
bang,
Pranced, fanatical, they shrieked and
sang,
Are you washed in the blood of
lamb"
Hallelujas! 1t was queer to see
Bull-necked convicts with that land
make free!
Looms with bazoos blowing blare,
blare, blare.
On, on, upward through the golden
air.
Are you washed in the blood of
Lamb"
Booth died blind, and still by faith
he trod.
Eyes still dazzled by the ways of
God.
Booth led boldly, and he looked the
chief:
Eagle countenance in sharp relief,
Beard a-f1yinR- air of high pnrn N, n nd
Unabated in that holy land.
Jesus came from out the Court House
door,
Stretched His hands above the passing
poor;
Booth saw not, but led his queer ones
there,
Round and round the mighty Court
House Square.
Yet in an instant all that blear re-
view

new.
The lame were Strengthened. withered
limbs uncurled
And blind eyes opened on a new, sweet
world.
Drabs and vixens in a flash made
whole!
Gone was the weasel-head, the snout,
the jowl:
Sages and sibyls now, and athletes
clean,
Rulers of empires and of forests
green.
The hosts were sandaled and their
wings were fire -
Are you washed in the blood of
Lamb?"
But their noise played havoc with the
angel choir!
Are you washed in the blood of
Lamb?"
Oh, shout salvationl 1t was good to
Kings and princes by the Lamb set
free.
The banjoes ratified, and the tam
bourines
Jing- -jing -jingled in the hands of
queens!
And when Booth halted by the curb
for prayer
He saw his Master Though the flag
filled air.
Christ came gently, with a robe and
crown
For Booth the soldier, while the throng
knelt down.
He saw King Jesus-they were face
to face,
And he knelt a-weeping in that holy
place.
Are you washed in the blood of
Lamb?"
Lazarus was one of the few on earth
to whom 1t was not left to imagine
the nature of the life beyond the grave.
There is room within the theme, since
John set us the example. for the exer-
else of all our gifts of imagination
sure that the reality far transcends
our most daring thought.
After all, the uttermost that we
know concerning the mystery of life
and death is told us by Jesus. What

Jesus gave definite, unequivocal assur-

have been trying to say upon the sub
ject: II am the resurrection. and the
