THE WITNESS
Mary Magdelene seems to have
seen only the open door and to have
sped on winged feet to tell Peter and
John. The other women went in and
had their vision and voice proclaim
ing the rising of Jesus but they were
not believed. The two came running
and Peter dashed inside, took note of
the orderly arrangement of the wrap
pings of the body and John tells us
that he was convinced of the resur-
rection by the scene. They speeded
away into the city and Mary returned
to face the utter stiffness of the gar
den and to weep over her disappoint-
ment in being unable to locate dead
Lord. Too intent upon her sorrow to
be moved or surprised by an angel
even she turned in her tears toward a
form in the shadow with her one re-
quest. She never names Jesus; so
full is her thinking of Him that she
sees no need for name-others would
understand-for to her there was no
other Name. But her name from Him
made all the difference. We may
fail many times to recognize God but
If there comes the consciousness that
we are known by Him our sorrow is
turned into joy as hers was on that
long-ago morning. If His love per-
sists nothing else matters. She flung
herself at His feet and would have
clung to the form that had trans
formed all her day. "Do not cling to
my body in your wish for the coming
back Of the old relation of physical
things" is about what He seems to
have been trying to make known to
her. A new bond of the spirit was
being substituted for the other and
its setting up would be hindered by
the thrall of the old so it was shaken
off Immediately and she was set a
task of witnessing that enabled her
to express her JOY in other terms. The
thrill Of physical presence is the
heart of the old order; the joy of
testimony is the spirit of the new.
THE WORTH OF THE WITNESS
There were other lives touched by
the same conviction of Life that day
and the list is bit strange. Mary,
the Mother of Jesus, is not included
nor is John. May it be that they did
not need such evidence? That spirit
was so real to them that they passed
over into its realm with no shock
such as attended that of the others.
Certainly it was not due to any lack
of love on the part of Jesus and it
may be that these two are the first

SUNDAY, MARCH Is, 1925
OUR LORDS RESURRECTION.

OOR LORD > hESO RRECIlON.
John POLLS. Read Matt: 28:1-15;
Mark 16:1-14; Luke 24:1-43.
The Lord is risen indeed. Luke 24:34.
DEATHS GRAVE
Certainly it isn't our Lords. He
needs none. He only borrowed a
place where He might rest after the
gruelling experiences of that Friday
of the Cross. 1t tasked even the Son
of God to save world and there was
reason for the quietness of the hours
after the events last studied. In the
dawn He left the place and left death
forever behind Him so it must have
been deaths grave and since death
is dead we may all take courage and
live to the full. Strangest Of all
happenings the earth has known it
calls like trumpet, Come and see!"
1t was day ike no other day and
it passed almost unheeded.
There had been the satisfied closing
of the events Of Friday by the ruI-
ers who ate their Passover meal with
high joy and great content. They had
made certain that all possible disor-
der connected with this strange char
acter was ended and in branding Him
criminal they had destroyed all His
influence. Yet vague questioning rose
in their minds and they took every
precaution to prevent any mis-hap in
connection with the body by seal and
guard. What they said to Nicodemus
and Joseph would make mighty in
teresting reading if it were in the
record but these were too hopeless to
resent it and the Sabbath stiffness
settled over all the groups and tho
some of them were missing from the
feast in the Temple worship so great
was the press that it was unnoticed.
But under the surface the thoughts
of all were at the tomb where a few
Romans sprawled under arms that
they might keep off any straying
prowler who would attempt the door,
close closed under Caesars seal. As
soon as the sun was setting there was
hasty preparation among the women
for a trip to the tomb at dawn that
they might complete the hurried
dressing of the body, hurried by the
approaching Sabbath. Away with the
earliest light, Mary Magdalene was
first to go and yet there had been
earlier stir. He who knows no night
had not waited for the day but rous-
ing Himself shook death from Him
and left him the sole occupant of the
grave. Was it the earthquake of the
record that loosened the door? The
seal of Rome dropped before might
Ter rule and her soldiery fed before
its appearing. In the Temple eccles-
1astical power that shrouded Deity
from the approach of men was torn
away with the rent curtain and now
political dominion that would hold
back the life of God from the haunts
of men was shattered with Caesars
seal. Church and State had Joined in
the burial and were now left the only
mOurners for dead Death whence
Life victorius had risen. Organiza-
tion or empire that gets in Gods way

The story of how Kenmore came
to be saved to the nation is an in
teresting one. Colonel Fielding
Lewis, Betty Washington's hus-
band, was the first to manufacture
guns in this country for use in
the Revolutionary war. He gave
his great wealth to run the manu-.
factory OF small arms at Fred
ericksburg: and after his death on
the day of the. battle of Yorktown,
in which his guns were effectively
employed, Kenmore was sold to pay
the debts he had Contracted to
make arms and ammunition for
the Continental army
After a hundred years or more
of yicissitudes the time came in
1922 when the, mansion was about
to be torn down. A few ladies in
Fredericksburg decided that this
should not be, banded together as
the Kenmore Association, assumed
an obligation Of $4,000 and then
set out to raise the money. The as
ISOLATION has grown to large proper
tons and Kenmore is now held
free of debt. 1t must. however,
be restored, furnished and endowed;
and to this end the association
is now working.
The Washington branch Of the
Kenmore Association has assumed
the restoration of one of the draw
ing rooms, dignified by the beauti-
