My Friends: -
The Sunday school lesson for Easter
morning is Of the Resurrection, which
is the basis for Easter rites which will
be celebrated all over the world day
after tomorrow. Our last lesson, you
recall, was of his cruciixion upon Cal
vary's cross between two thieves, where
after six hours of the greatest suffering
imaginable he gave up his life that you
and might have life eternal If we
would but believe on him.
In the lesson for Sunday he comes
back to life and among his friends and
disciples for a short stay before as
cending into heaven and to his place at
the right hand Of his Father, where he
watches the actions Of mankind whom
he died to save.
The Scripture Lesson.
Let us read the Scripture lesson as it
is found in the Gospel according to ST.
Matthew, 2S:1-2O:
l. In the end Of the Sabbath. as II
began to dawn toward the first day OF
the week, came Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2. And, behold, there was a great
earthquake: for the angel Of the Lord
descended from heaven, and came and
rolled back the stone from the door, and
sat upon it.
{. 8. His countenance was like light
ming, and his raiment white as snow.
4. And for fear Of him the keepers
did shake, and become as dead men.
5. And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for
know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucifled.
6. He is not here: for he is risen, as
he said, Come and see the place where
the Lord lay.
t. And go quickly. and tell his disci-
pies that he is risen from the dead; and
behold, he goeth before you into Call
lee; there shall We see him; 10, have
told you.
s. And they departed quickly from
the sepulchre with fear and great joy:
and did run to bring his disciples word
0. And as they went to tell his discl-
PIES behold. Jesus met them. saying
All hail. And they came and held him
by the feet, and worshipped him.
10. Then said Jesus unto them. BE
not afraid: go tell my brethren that
they go into Galilee, and there shall
they see me.
16. Then the eleven disciples went
away into Galilee into mountain
where Jesus had appointed them.
II. And when they saw him, they
worsl ,eu .lirn: but some doubted.
18. And Jesus came and spake unto
them, saying, All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth.
10. Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name OF
the Father. and of the Son, and Of the
Holy Ghost:
20. Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, 10, am with you always,
even unto the end Of the world. Amen.
Joseph Gave Sepulchre.
After Jesus was crucifled he was laid
in sepulchre wherein the body of man
had never lain before. 1t was the prop
erty,of Joseph of Armathea, and Nico-
demus, who had talked with Christ, as
sisted in the burial. These two Jewish
leaders, being men Of prominence, were
members Of the Sanhedrin. But they
had no part in the death Of Jesus, both
Of them, according to the record dis
senting from the action Of the high
priest and the majority Of the Phari-
sees and Sadducees in putting him to
death.
CHANGING over the Scripture lesson
we may we'll imagine the surprise of
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
who. accompanied by other good wo-
men, perhaps, went to the moutn OF Ehe
cave where the Lord was buried and
found it open and him gone.
The soldiers who were on guard there
were no doubt in deadly fear. Sixteen
soldiers had been placed on guard and
they worked in shifts in keeping guard
over the place where the Lord lay.
They swooned away in fright and 1t Is
wonder that they were not struck
dead. Perhaps that was prevented by
reason of the fact that they were not
responsible for the death Of Christ; but
had merely acted under the orders OF
others.
Then the angel Of God who is there.

he knows whom they seek and that he
