Rv REV. L. G. KRUG

Easter is holiday of the Christian
Church, and is celebrated In commem-
grafton of the glorious resurrection OF
Jesus Christ. This resurrection was
predicted in the Scriptures of the Old
Testament, and many are the saints
who rejoiced in the future resurrection,
but when Christ spoke to his followers
about his passion, death and resurrec-
ton, they would not understand. To
them it seemed impossible that the
Lord who had performed so many mir
acles should, through suffering and
death, redeem this sinful and polluted
world. Why? Because they had an en-
tirely wrong conception of the Saviors
redemptive work. The disciples thought
that Jesus would some future day es-
tablish secular kingdom on earth, and
consequently did not believe in the
spiritual kingdom, that is not OF this
world Read Luke 10, 1874. In fact,
they refused to believe the truth when
told by the very Son of God Himself.
This unbelief caused the disciples
great deal of grief when the Savior
entere His passion, suffering and death
on the cross They scattered like sheep
without a shepherd. But in spite OF all
this they did not cease to love the
Master. Although all seemed dark and
hopeless their bond of love did not
break. AS soon as our blessed Redeemer
had committed His soul into the hands
of the Father, some of the disciples
| hurried to bury His body. They even
planned on embalming the sacred body
as soon as the Sabbath was past
From this it appears that every word
of hope and comfort the Savior hao
spoken to them had disappeared from
their minds. The Lord had told them
over and over again that he must suf-
fer, die, and on the third day Wollle
rise again. He stated: II have power te
lay down my life, and I have power
to take it again" BY the way Havs
we not passed through similar exper'
fences? Haven't there been times II
our lives when the same Lord seemed
to be dead to us? Let us take to hear
the kind but sharp rebuke the Riser
Lord gave unbelieving Thomas BE
cause thou hast seen me, thou hast be
lieved; Blessed are they that have no
seen, and yet have believed" John 2(
%. Doesn't this remind, dear reader
of a well-known hymn? ooh, wha
needlss pain we bear-All because W
do not carry Everything to God Il
} prayer"
The disciples learned their lessor
May we learn ours. On Easter morn
ing they found that all their grief an
sorrow had not only been in vain, bu
sinful. When they came to the tom
! the watch had disappeared, the lare
stone at the door was rolled away tn
tomb was empty, and the body of tn
Master was not there. What had hap

I'm Caster Message

pened? Why, exactly that which they
should have expected! Had they be-
lieved the Lords prediction they would
have found nothing but the truth. The
Lord, however, did not let the women
seek in vain. While looking in amaze
ment at all that had happened, all OF
a sudden they saw an angel who SAID
unto them: BE not affrighted: Ye
seek Jesus OF Nazareth, which was
crucified; He is not here; behold the
place where they laid him" The first
thing the Lords messenger tries to eX-
pei is the womens fear. He said: BE
not affrighted." You have nothing to
fear; you are looking for Jesus OF
Nazareth He is not here; He is risen;
behold the place where they laid Him.
But go your way, tell His disciples and
Peter that He goeth before you into
Galilee, there shall you see Him. The
women fled from the grave. They were
so amazed and troubled that they were
at first not able to speak. BY evening
of Easter day the risen Lord had ap-
peared to ten of his disciples as the
Victor over the powers of darkness
Christ's resurrection is true. The in
spired Writers bear witness to the
truth. No one helped to establish this
truth more than the Lords enemies
| themselves When Christ had died they
demanded of PLATE that the grave be
watched by squad of soldiers unto
the third day. This request was
granted, but when the angel OF the
Lord came and rolled away the stone
from the sepulcher the watch tainted,
and fled as soon as they came to again,
and reported to their superiors what
| had taken place.
| Christ's resurrection is essential
Christ's resurrection is a declaration
that our redemption is full and COM
plete; that a full satisfaction has been
made to the justice of God; that Christ
Jesus is the Victor over sin, death
hell and Satan. "There is, therefore
now no condemnation 10 them that are
in Christ Jesus" Rom. 8, !. Christ
hath abolished death, and hath brought
life and Immortality to light through
the gospel" Through the HedemPClo1
and Resurrection Of Jesus Christ deatf
has lost it's power on those who accep
this Gospel. What is generally calico
, death is nothing but the door to eter-
nal life. For the risen Lord Is at TIT
right hand of the Father where al
, our Advocate He is ever ready to re-
/ ceive and to intercede for us at tn
Judgment seat Of God. Let us conclud
today with st. Paul / Cor. l5, 54-57:
. Death is swallowed up in victory.
| o death, where is thy sting?
t O grave, where is thy victory?
} The sting of death is sin;
2 And the strength of sin is the law
e But thanks be to God,
e Which giveth us the victory
: Through our Lord Jesus Christ"

MISERY OF DUST
STORM RELATED

Mrs. B. r. Arnold, who for the past
three weeks has been In Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, with her mother who
is seriously III, has recently written
the Spokesman Of her experiences dur
ing the terrible dust storms which are
sweeping that part Of the country and
also inclosed clipping from the Daily
Oklahoman Of that city.
ITO realize how bad they are you
must be in one of then," said Mrs.
Arnold. 81 can't help thinking how
fortunate the people in White Bluffs
really are. Since have lived there we
have never had anything half as bad
as the dust storm we are having In
this city today" The letter was written
on Thursday, April II, the day on
which the weather bureau had hoped
the dust might possibly subside. Ex-
cerpts from the newspaper story WILL
best give an impression of conditions:
visibility in central Oklahoma was
cut to less than one-fifth of a mile
but this was mild compared to the
northwest sections of the state, where
dismayed housewives could not see
from living room to kitchen.
"a sudden drop in the temperature
here was scheduled to send the temp
erature down to a possible SO degrees
here, and the threat of freeze and
frost added to the misery of north
western Oklahoma, where all chances
of a wheat crop were believed blasted
by Wednesdays furious onslaught.
.'The dust laden gale was blowing
across Oklahoma at 10 miles an hour
at 5000 feet, taking midwestern soil
far out over the Gulf of Mexico. BY
midnight, the entire state was blank
eted by the silt.
The panhandle has known nothing
but binding, choking dust for weeks
but Wednesdays high wind struck
with a fury that eclipsed all of it's pre-
vious devastation. Gravel was hurled
against windows, breaking many OF
them.
"The dust was as thick inside houses
as outside. S. E. Lee, Buffalo editor
telephoned long distance Wednesday
afternoon that he could not see mar
on the other side of the room because
! of the floating silt" s-.,ea
More than 100 families have deserted
Cimarron and Texas counties In the
northwestern Oklahoma panhandle, the
Daily Oklahoman states, adding thai
in Cimarron county the dust has driv'
en- out all but three of the 40 fam
lilies who once lived in the six town
ships south of Boise City. A relic
worker at Guymon said that 1000 o
the $500 families in six northwestern
Oklahoma counties are on relief rolls
due to the severe storm.

SIGURDSON'S GOLDEN JUBILEE
PEACH DRAWS MUCH INTEREST

A number of Yakima and Wenatchee
orchardists, interested In the new Col
den Jubilee peach, developed by Thorn
as Sigurdson, have visited the Sigurd-
son ranch at Vernita during the past
week. They have been impressed by
the fine bloom and prospect of crop
of this variety.
During the night of April /, when a
temperature of 20 degrees was recorded
at the Sigurdson ranch, no smudging
was done. A few small driftWood fires
kept burning among a few Of the trees,
however, proved that temperature
five degrees higher could be main
tanned.

PRINCESS RACE is
GETTING WARMER

Trailing Aloha Meek, the leader, by
only eight thousand, Aileen Stoddard
received $50 votes Saturday evening
at the Band dance, making the ques-
ton of who will be White Bluffs prin-
cess at the Apple Blossom Festival as
much of mystery as before. Josephine
Westling, with a total of 27,l00 votes,
also made considerable Roadway In
the race which will probably be won
by one of these three girls, although
Alma Walker, Florence and Lauretta
Grifdths are still gaining votes and
may make an unexpected squirt.
The Band boys took in 1910 at the
dance, including admissions and sand
witches and coffee. The next and last
dance will be held Saturday, April ~

to give the other teams In the valley
league close battle for the champion
ship Is no idle threat, Hanford trounced

Old Newspapers
Tell Tragic Tale

A poignant reminder Of tragic days
long past is embodied In a copy OF
The Daily Citizen Of Vicksburg, Mis-
sissippi, which has recently come into
the spokesman's possession. The paper
Is one of the famous wall paper" edl-
lions, and was set up to be printed on
Thursday, July 2, 1868, but by a CIR
cumstance readily explained by the
following paragraphs copied from 1t,
was not published until the following
Saturday.
The first paragraph, set up for the
original date of publication, said:
ION DIT-That the great Ulysses
the Yankee Generalissimo, surnamed
Grant-has expressed his intention OF
dining in Vicksburg on Saturday next,
and celebrating the 18th of July by a
grand dinner, and so forth. When
asked if he would invite General 10
Johnston to join he said: No, for fear
there would be a row at the table
Ulysses must get into the city before
ll0 OlIleS LII IL. l 11C way w SOOfA ~
rabbit is first to catch the rabbit etc"
The next paragraph, under the head
ing, "Note-July q, 1862, informs the
reader:
"Two days bring about great changes.
The banner of the Union floats over
Vicksburg. Gen. Grant has caught the
rabbit he has dined in Vicksburg, and
he did bring his dinner with him
The Citizen lives to see it. For the
last time it appears on wall paper
No more will it imagine the luxury
of mule meat and fricassied kitten

never more. This is the last wall pa
per edition, and is, excepting this note
from the types as we found them. Il
will be valuable hereafter as curl

of interest. One which also mirrors the

Whiskers Sprout
On Local Chins

For the next month, conversations
about crops will not concern apricots
or peaches, or even apples, but the
raising of whiskers, 1t is evidenced by
the interest now being taken In HRS
tute adornment, such as Van Dykes,
Dundrearies, side burns, and other
styles which bear no name.
The sudden growth of whiskers Is
occasioned by Yakima's forthcoming
Frontier Days celebration. A city Or
dinance has been passed in that city,
declaring all male citizens over twenty
one guilty of indecent exposure without
good crop of foliage.
To aid in the success Of Yakima S
golden anniversary celebration, resi-
dents of all communities through the
Yakima valley are cooperating in the
movement and residents of this valley
have now decided to show neighbor-
ing communities that, just as with
farm crops, whiskers grown in this
valley are second to none.
The Yakima Jubilee will be hello
May II, 10 and 10 and will include q
pageant each evening, numerous nov
city pioneer parades and a number OF
hearty pioneer pleasures and pastimes

UNCLE WIGGILYS MISTAKE

One day when, though it was
September, it was very hot in
Woodland. Uncle Wiggily hoped
away from his hollow stump bunga-
low very early to look for an ad-
venture. Early as it was, many of
his little rabbit boys and girls were
out of bed playing around in the
shade.
7 hope they don't play so hard
that they forget to 60 to school, "
thought Mr.. Longears as he hoped
on toward the cool woods I
wouldn't want any of them to be
late. The Lady Mouse Teacher
might keep them in after school
If they came late"
Feeling very happy that he had SO
many lovely little rabbit children,
including Baby Bunty who was an
orphan rabbit he was tsking care
of. Uncle Wiggily hoped on his
way
But when he reached the woods
he did not find it as cool as he
had expected
ITS hot even here in the shade, "
thought the rabbit gentleman. I'll
hop to the spring and get cool
drink Of water"
This he did, but It was even hot
at the spring and, after resting a
while IN the shade and finding it
growing hotter and hotter as the
sun rose higher and higher in the
sky. all Of a sudden Uncle Wiggily
had an idea.
Will Go To School
III hop 20 school and visit Miss
Mouse and the children, said Mr..
Longears to himself. Inside the
Hollow Tree School it will be very
cool It always is. I can stay a
long time visiting at the school and
I shall be very comfortable
So Uncle Wiggily hoped to the
Hollow Tree School. The door was
open. so IN he went
Oh. no! I must be very early!'
