soon as Mary saw that the tomb
was open, she ran in alarm to tell
Peter and John, who ran to the
tomb and found it empty; in the
meantime the other women went
more slowly to tell the disciples and
were met by Jesus.
Y. II. ''But Mary was standing
without the tomb weeping; and as
she wept, she stopped and looked
into the tomb" Mary was ignorant
as to the meaning of the empty
tomb Of Jesus; the human element
of sympathy oyercame her and she
wanted to linger about the place
where His body was laid-an exper-

that it anchors and holds soul
