rection as q literal fact, are deluding
no one but themselves. There is moth
ing new In the effort to explain away
the great event. Men have been try
ing out explanations ever since the
guards who went to sleep on DUTY
around the tomb excused themselves
by saying the disciples stole his body
away while they slept. EXplainers
have risen and fallen as the ages have
come and gone and the deeper the
eNplainers have gone into the matter,
the more apparent has become the
fact. The simple Gospel narratives
gave enough Of the physical details
OF the event to make 1t convincing;
the fact that the disciples themselves
did not expect the resurrection and
were slow TO believe it until they
were forced to believe it by his pres
ence among them; by exhibition of his
sacred wounds and the fact that 1t
became the burden of their preaching
in the future all go to make up the
indisputable collateral evidence Of the
literal fact. Every IN Of the disciples
is said to have died a martyr and his
resurrection was their Testimony to
martyrdom."-H. Lee Mills in Houston

lie a. not here for he is risen. as he said. "
Matthew 20: 10; ~: 66; rs: s.
The Man had died on the cross,
And they laid him in the tomb;
The Living Stone in the stone,
The Rock in the rock-hewn room;
They left him alone with Death,
And sealed the stone at the door;
They made the sepulchre sure,
And set their watch before.
Lest his friends should steal him
away,
And say that he rose" they said.
But Life escaped from Death,
And the Goldman rose from the
dead.
The skeptical minds of men
Still think the sepulchre sure,
But Christ had said, II will arise"
And the counsels Of God endure.
Still his disciples go
To carry the %wondrous word:
The Lord is risen indeed!
We know, we have seen and heard"
And the tomb men think so sure,
With the seal of their scorn on the
door,
The place where the Lord once lay
Is empty forevermore.
