over his head. he expiects to find 1t n the living present The angels may well question? Why seek ye the lfv- ing among the dead?
 But Mary found her Lord She saw Him in the garden not In the grave. He was living source of life not dead body to be covered with spices and ointment This may also be true of the man who has lost God. The body of
 Jesus is not really lost. although 1t may
 not be found among the grave clothes of the religious horizon of boyhood days.
 It may be that a per'ed of weeping must
 elapse at the tomb fore the Lord re-
 yeals Himself. but do not despair be-
 cause He does not appear under the old conditions of a bygone time. Weep on
 at the tomb and be patient. for perhaps
 there must be new mental and moral development within yolr spiritual nf gre
 before the Risen Christ can reveal Il,m- self Remain by your sepulchre until
 of joy.

 | Rev. G. H. strouse made the subject
 of his morning sermon at the First Bap-
 tist church, Jesus Answers Our Great
 est Question" and spoke in part as fol- lows:
 There are three very wonderful days lin the life of Jesus. His life is sur passingly grand and beautiful and mar .yelous from start to finish, but all that
 Is sublimely sweet and tender and lov-
 ing and strong find their climax in
 these three days. On Palm Sunday we
 see a King riding in real . 1cession into
 the Holy City. A petty king would have
 ridden on the finest steed that money could buy, but the kingliness of Jesus
 consisted not in external display. There was no splendid saddle,s no handsome
 bridle and no train cf nobles with gilt
 tering swords. There was a crowd of
 poor but enthusiastic pilgrims with palm
 branches in their hands Jesus was king
 ly in pcise, in calmness of soul and In holy purpose.
 And then comes the day known as
 Go [ Friday This is the saddest and
 most tragic day in history. The reli.
 zion of Jesus Christ Is the only reIi : gion with Calvary and an Easter day Easter day ipmpossible> without Cal
 vary.
 Then comes the first Easter day. | i Good Friday is the saddest. then Eastei , Is the gladdest of days Calvary mark : the spot where God granted. to the wori.
 Ills most wonderful display of love
 Easter we see God quickly of victory ant
 began to celebrate too soon. On Easte , day the enemy Is dismayed. the disci , ples are glad and He who sits in tn, !. heaven laughs. .s ; As we stand about the tomb on tha |. first Easeer day, we enjoy the fragrancs r First, of a great fact Jesus Is no here. He Is risen. On this point he ar Y mol living in the fog of Ii5t and spec ulstion. Second. we breathe fragrance of :, Hope Restored Life's richest blessing ', tcome to men and nations very frequent s ly in the guise of sorrow. Jacob cried = -All these things are against me" bu !. God was working out "a salvation for a
 His family. ' Third. we breathe the fragrance of : Real King. The ermine and cloth ,c :, gold which monarchs wear must be Ia, aside after a few short years but Jesu wears His crown and royal robes fol s ever.
