Omaha-Where the Uest is at its Best
THE RESURRECTION MORN.

For nearly two thousand years the sweetest story
that has rung in the years of mankind is that which
IS to be repeated this day wherever the Christian
religion has penetrated 1t is the story of the
recton-rnging and ringing from generation to gen.
Grafton, inspiring the hearts of the faint, giving
courage to the hopeless and strengthening the Fee
BILE footsteps of age tottering on the brink Of the
grave.
"And if Christ be not asleep, then is our preach
ing vain, and your faith is also vain," declared the
Apostle Paul to the Corinthian brethren.
1t is upon the faith that Jesus Christ from
the dead that the Christian religion is founded. "If
in this life only have hope in Christ, Of
all men most miserable" again declared the
great evangelist who picked up the fallen torch of
Christianity and famed it to brighter and stronger
fame that has since lighted the whole world Try
as they may to discount the fact of Christ, atheists
and agnostcs stand mute in the presence Of the
intrepid Paul.
II was faith in this risen Christ that served the
primitive Christians to walk into the lion-infested
arenas calmly and unafraid It is the faith that has
dared unknown and unparalleled dangers to carry
enlightenment. 1t is that faith blooming and bios
soing into unselfsh service, that has founded hos
ptals alleviated distress, builded orphanages and
lifted mankind to higher levels 1t is the faith that
has lifted mountains of doubt, given solace to the
afflicted and carried millions to the tombs without
fear or faltering
Faith in the risen Christ has withstood the ferc-
est assaults through of centuries and is today
stronger than ever before The gentle Jew, born in
the owy manger of Bethlehem this kindly phloso-
pher of the valleys and plains Of Judea this minister
of love and service, crucifed Calvarys cross and

Slowly, but surely it is dawning upon the world
that its hope for salvation from devastating wars
and national and racial misunderstanding, lies not
IN the wisdom of diplomats and statesmen, but in
the application of the principles laid down by this
journeyman Carpenter of Nazareth when He spoke
from the mountain. In that sermon, ap
preached by mortal man in eloquence and kindly
philosophy is to be found the only safe and sound
basis upon which to build lasting peace and univer-
sal prosperity.
1t is because this is becoming fully recog-
nized as the days and go that increasing mill

HOW TO ACT.

"If he had acted as a gentleman and allowed the
men to search him, there would have been no
trouble"
Thus is Bob Samardick quoted saying in refer
ence to the assault upon DR.. Wearne by men under
samardicks command.
Respectable law-abding citizens thus notified
how to act when accosted and seized by unknown
individuals. The assaants may be prohibition en-
forcement officers or they may be mere rough-necks
not commissioned by the federal government. They
may be searching for liquor, they may merely be
staging hodup. In either event the citizen should
act az a gentleman and make resistance. II his
assalants happen to be dry agents he may get away
with nothing more than search for liquor
II they happen to be another kind of holdup artists
he NAV lose his purse and watch and few bits OF
cwelry but he will have the satisfaction Of knowing
that he not only acted a gentleman but was
treated in a most gentlemanly manner.
But the main thing is to act as gentleman when
a couple of unknown gentlemen seize you and pro-
ceed to haul you around while pattng your pockets
to see what you possess II you resent treatment Of
that kind. Of course you are no gentleman No gen.
tleman would even think Of resentng being pounced
upon at the door Of his own domcile by unknown
men. However, it would simplify matters Il the
federal prohibition authorities would act upon the
example of their esteemed monitor, Lord Chesterfield
and make public few rules defining just what gen
tlemany conduct is. In these changing times 1t IS
difficult for even the most digent to keep up. Mr.
Samardck ha. a hard and thankless job; it is ad-
mitted he often has to deal with hard characters
The problem of prohibition enforcement can not be
solved however, by calling upon men, accosted as
was DR.. Wearne, to act gentlemen.
