CHRIST'S CAREER
Continued from preceding page)

tion was wonderful. No human MIND
ever imagined that scene.
If some man had attempted to de-
scribe how he thought it occurred,
he'd have had laundering and light
ming. An angel came down and rolled
away the stone as quietly as the
opening of a spring flower, and when
the women came to the sepulchre they
found no disorder. They found the
linen clothes folded neatly. His ap-
pearance was so different from what
han would have had them. He ap-
peared to every one Of His best
friends after His resurrection; not
one Of His enemies ever got their
eyes on Him. and they never have,
and they never, never will-no, sir,
not one of them ever did!
l know the story is true; nobody
but God could have had it happen in
the order and in the way that He
did 1t. If the story had been false,
we'd have had Jesus chasing around
and hunting for Old Plate and the
high priests and the Pharisees, trying
to convince them He was the Son OF
God
Now is Chance
to be Saved
He said, mo, sir, if you don't be-
lieve on me now, you will never have
another chance afterwards" So, II
Jesus had been chasing around hunt
ing Plate after His resurrection-if
you don't believe in Jesus Christ right
now, you will never have another
chance. They wouldn't believe on
Him while He was in the flesh and
they never got a chance afterwards.
And the effect of His teaching on
the world is wonderful Jesus left
no college to propagate His views. He
committed His views to few humble
fishermen, and their names are the
most famous in all the world today.
Jesus never wrote a sermon. He new
er published a book, and nothing that
He ever said or did has been carved
in marble or cast in bronze or scrolled
on brass, yet His doctrines have en-
dured for two thousand years and
| they have gone to the end of the
earth and wherever they have been
preached and accepted and lived they
have lifted nations and individuals
out of degradation and drunkenness
They have made this old world bios
som like rose.
When Jesus began His ministry
Rome ruled the world. The invisible
! legions of Rome, her eagles, were
everywhere. Rome's power is gone
today, her armies and her religion
are gone today The temple of Diana
of the Ephesus is in ruins. Not one
worshipper of old Diana could be
found on the face of this earth to-
day.
Miracles Are
Wonderful
When Jesus fed the five thousand
with the, loaves and the fishes. wher
He helped the woman who touched
the hem of His garment, there was
not church nor Y. M. c. A. mol
| a Y. W. C. A There wasn't a hos
pital. There wasn't a home for the
aged or the infirm. There wasn't g
mission. There wasn't place fol
the outcast There wasn't an institu
ton for any of the afflicted human
| ity. There wasn't a charitable insti
tuition of any kind on the face of the
earth. Today they are as thick as
the sands on the sea shore, and the
teachings of Jesus Christ have built
every hospital, every mission. 1t is
the teachings of Jesus Christ on the
hearts of humanity that has caused
US to build these to take care of the
unfortunate and those that are down
in sin. That is what built this tab
ernacle, faith in Jesus Christ.
And when the cloud received Hin
out of sight, the only recorded words
were written upon the hearts Of His
followers. Today the libraries groar
and the shelves dip with the weight
Of books that tell about Him. Oh, the
scholarship Of the world sits at Hi:
feet. And the master paintings that
men pay such fabulous prices for, de
plotting and reproducing in pigments
and coIors something that Jesus die
or said-they are the masterpieces o.
the world today! You owe all thai
to religion and to Jesus Christ ane
| His truth.
So, never man spake as this man
and His utterances have been trans
lated into five hundred different Ian
guages and dialects. His thought:
run through all literature. His fol
lowers are the most famous of al
the men and all the women of al
the nations of all the earth. "Hi
name shall be called Wonderful"
/ Oh, there may be another Homer
or another Virgil. or another Dante
or Milton, Shakespeare, or Caesar, o
Carlemagne, or Alexander, or Raph
ael, or Angelo, but there never will
be another Jesus Christ,
/ And if didn't know anythin
about this Savior from personal ez
perience, 1 wouldn't talk to yo
about it; but know. There is moth
ing so convincing, my friends. to me
as your own experience. l don't know

here, if wasn't. don't need to stan
and argue with you to prove it, look a
me. And Jesus didn't argue with pee

He said, Look at the works" And

saved me.
Let me ask you a question an

When the proof is so overwheln
