The 31st of March will be Easter
Sunday. An event that should be
celebrated in a befitting way by all
| Christendom. If the world would
stop and think for a moment and
consider what Easter means then
this great day would not be allowed
to pass by without the deserved rec
ognition, and the story of a risen
Lord would be acclaimed from all
church pulpits and every individual
heart who believes in what took
place on the resurrection morn, will
be glad to spread the glad news to
those whose faith is not strong
enough to grasp the goodness of God
in sending to the world, Saviour
Who would die and rise again, thus
fulfilling a part of the program
which Jehovah put forth to save the
world from sin.
1t is to be regretted that so many
who are living today in this land
of ours, seem to neglect to give to
Him Who died on the cross that
homage which He so richly deserves
from all and especially of those who
claim to be of the Household of
Faith"
1t seems that the people have lost
interest in the tragedy of the cross
and the incidents following it. That
instead of assembling themselves
in the different sanctuaries and give
praise to Him who by his death made
the resurrection possible now en-
gage in different kinds of things en-
tirely foreign to what the Ruler of
the universe would have them do.
The seaside resorts next Sabbath
will be filled with a motley crowd of
people whose sole aim will be to
see and be seen. Some will imperil
their very souls that their bodies
may be decorated for the occasion.
Take Atlantic City for sample how
many of vast concourse of people
who will be there on Easter Sun
day, numbering as they will many
thousands promenading the board
walk for which that city is noted,
will stop in their mad rush and look
heavenward and say: Father, we
thank Thee for a Risen Lord. Not
thought of the day and what it
means; the only thought that their
mind seems to grasp is the world
and the meaningless pleasure it for
a time seems to give.
So it will be until the end shall
come. Farther and farther away
the people of this earth will wander
from the tracks laid down by God
for the guidance of His people.
The story of the resurrection as
told by the Apostles seems to be
interesting from the start and the
nearer we become conversant with
the scenes of the cross and the res
direction, greater the truth Of the
story impresses itself upon our
minds and hearts, and when the
closing scenes is enacted and the
Lord rises from the dead. There is
some convincing facts which backed
by an unseen power which seems to
hold the undivided attention of those
who hear the wonderful gospel story
which is so convincing in its nature
as to challenge the world at large
to produce one iota of evidence that
will prove the narrative untrue.
The Church School of the M. E.
Church is in very fair condition.
Mr.. Timmons, the superintendent,
is very anxious that the school be
brought up to the highest standard.
To do this, will require earnest
work on the part of both the super
intendent and teachers.
The superintendent should look
carefully after the teachers and
have them to attend regularly or
replace them with those who will be
more efficient. The teachers should
note each Sunday those scholars
who are absent, visit the home |
where they reside and find out from |
their parents why they were not |
present the past Sunday. You will |
often find in this way that children
have been sent to the church school
and played truant. Above all things
be of that kindly nature which the
scholars admire in their teacher.
will often win where 9TH
or means fail. And in conclusion,
let the teachers have their scholars
IN their several homes as often as
possible. This will show that you
ire interested in them and they
will become interested in you. Then
he battle is won. The school will
