EpWORTH LEAGUE DISCUSSION.

the argument that IL we admit the ex-
iStence of God we cannot believe that
He would permit the creation of a
being with mans infinite possibilities
to be blotted out with those possibili-
ties only slightly fulfilled. when every
where else in nature He causes life to
reach its fun fruition-after all these ar
guments for Immortality have been given,
there remains just one proof-but an
absolute and overwhelming proof-of
Immortality and that is the resurrec-
tion of Jesus Christ. This, more than
anything else. makes Christianity diff
terent from, and superior to, other re-
'igions. for while they have had great
>eachers who died for the truth, only
Christianity has one who rose from the
dead.
The resurrection of Jesus makes our
Immortality sure. Paul wrote to the
Thessalonians: But I would not have
you to be ignorant, brethren, concern
ing them which are asleep. that ye
sorrow not, even as others which have
no hope. For If we believe that Jesus
died and rose again. even SO, them also
which sleep In Jesus will God bring
with him-so shall we ever be with the
Lord"
What does Easter mean to me?
Does II mean just what II should
and all that 1t should? That first
Easter day. many centuries ago, meant
much to a few individuals-to Mary
Magdalene and Mary the mother of
Jesus. to John, and Peter, and the other
disciples and a few others But even
those to whom Christ was revealed did
not then fully realize the meaning of
the resurrection. From this distance.
however, in the light of the clear rev
elations we have OF His purpose and
mission, we can catch the Significance
of this wonderful event. He had said az
am come that We may have life, and
have 1T more abundantly." So it was
life-immortal life-that He bestowed

WHAT EASTER MEANS TO Me.
Cor, IS, 1920; I Thess.. 4, 14-1s.
RY Robert D. Burbank,

President of W washington District Epworth League
Tell me what Easter means to you, and
I will tell you what you are?
Does it only mean TO you an Easter
bonnet, an Easter suit, and Easter
shoes? You are a clothes-made indlVld-
ual-a worshiper of externalt.ts.
Does II only mean 10 lou release
from the social restraint of Lent, the
conventional period of ''penitence" dur
ting which you have given up some
social or personal indulgence, such as
candy. dancing or cards? You are a SO,
cial butterfly worshiper of society
Does il merely mean u SPRING les
tiyal TO be celebrated by feastlng on
eggs and "hot cross buns? You are
worshiper of your own stomach.
Does it only mean to you hohoay
season to which rabbits and newly
hatched chicks and colored eggs are
peculiar? You are but a child and
worshiDer of play.
What Easter means to you is pretty
srire index of what you are and what
Won worship. And If you are a Chris
tian-not merely a nominal CHRISTIAN,
but a Christian ir the real sense that
you are a worshiDer or COO ana you
personally believe in Jesus Christ and
sre consciously tr,-ing to follow Him
Faster has a meaning for you that Is
yery different from those suggested
above.
rneans salvation and immortal life for
vou- II means that Christ is alive to-
day.
Christmas is the anniversary of
Christ's birth ami we celebrate that
day as the one on which God came
down to earth to enter upon the task
of redeeming mankind. Easter IS the
anniversary OF Ills resurrection, and
this day we celebrate as the one on
which this stupe15dous task OF reoemp-
tlon was complettd. 1t is a day OF JOY
the Joy OF a finished work.
Easter means salvation for you to-
day.
In his first letter TO the Corinthian
church Paul wrote: "If Christ be not
raised your faitlT is vain; ye are yet
in your sins. II In this life only we
have hope in Christ we are of all men
most miserable But now is Christ
risen from the dead, and become the
first fruits of them that slept For
since by man game death. by man
came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die. even so in
Christ shall all bs made alive"
Your salvation depends, therefore
not upon ChristS death upon the cross
but upon His resurrection. Stephen
died a martyr 70 the truth. Paul gave
his life for his 'fellowmen. Peter suf-
fered the deat.s of the cross for his
Master. and thousands Of others have
given their lives for their Christlike
devotion to the truth and to mankind
but none of these redeemed the race
Only Jesus could redeem men and II
was His resurrection from the grave
that made His death efflcacious to re.
deem. Henceffrth He became Lord Of
life and death, able to save to the utter
most all that Come unto God by Him
