The Power of Jesus Death, John
11:23-44, for Sunday, Feb. 21:
The end of Christ's life was near
ing and it was fitting that miracle
of mercy should be performed that
would prove his Sonship with power.
". %. "Jesus saith unto her,
Thy brother shall rise again." Here
we have from the lips of Christ an
assurance of our future resurrec-
ton.
V. "a. martha said, know that
he shall rise again in the resurrec-
ton of the last day." Martha was
rather disappointed that Christ did
not act sooner; she did not under
stand that a great blessing was III
store when disappointed.
V. 25. "Jesus said, I am the
resurrection and the life; he that
believeth in me, though he were
dead, vet shall he live" Christ is
the life of the individual believer:
He is the resurrection, for no tomb
could hold it's dead when he came
and called; he gave death it's death
blow in the new tomb of Joseph or
Arimathea; and by his power we
shall rise from the dead on the last
day.
v. &c. "And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me shall never die.
Believest thou this?" In spiritual
sense, the person who truly believes
in Christ has attained a fellowship
with him which will not end by

Frances Willard Anniversary

The anniversary of Frances Will
lard's birth was honored at a meet
ing of the w. C. T. u, held at the
home of Mrs. Ella Moore, Feb. 10.
The program opened with a song,
"a Prayer" and devotionals were
led by Mrs. Spencer. Response to
roll call was a quotation about the
founder Of w. C. T. U. Mrs. SWEET
ger read fine tribute to Frances
Willard, by Ernest Lee Thompson.
Mrs. Huntington explained the Will
lard centenary fund, pledge of 81
each, paid by '39. Mrs. Rex gave a
fine reading, What Temperance Did
for John and Me-" Mrs. Lucie Kraps
reminded us that Frances Wizards
picture is the only picture of wom-
an in the Hall of Fame, in Washing
ton. A playlet, illustrating how the
centenary fund idea is sold, was well
given by Mesdames Perry, Palmer
and Rex During the social hour,

physical death, but will continue
forever.
v. 27. "She saith unto him, Yea
Lord: 1 believe that thou art the
Christ, the Son of God, which should
come into the world This noble
confession showed full confidence in
Jesus as the Messiah, and her full
belief that all he said was true.
v. %. "And when she had SO said
she went her way, and called Mary
her sister, secretly, saying, The Mas
ter is come and calleth for thee. The
secrecy is likely due to Martha's de-
sire that Mary should meet Jesus
alone; those in sorrow prefer to weep
apart from the crowd.
v. SO. when Jesus therefore
saw her weeping, and the Jews also
weeping who came with her, he
groaned in the spirit and was troub-
led This sorrow moved Jesus with
deep sympathy and profound love.
v. 35. "Jesus wept." Jesus
showed his heart in human sympa-
thy and taught us that it is natural
to weep in the loss of loved ones; he
also taught that religion deepens love
for each other that makes friend
ships worthwhile; it is a merciful
provision of our nature by which we
find relief in tears; in the hour of
sorrow, sympathetic expressions are
better than words.
V. SO. "Then said the Jews, Be-
hold how he loved him." There is
nothing that tenders critics as does
hor vi Sc
would be if there were no sorrow in
it.
v. 80. "Jesus said, Take away
the stone; Martha, the sister of him
that was dead, saith unto him.
Lord by this time his body decayeth:
for he hath been dead four days. I"
Jesus in asking that the stone be re-
moved taught us that we are to do
all in our power in working with
him. Martha could not comprehend
a new experience about to happen;
how little can we comprehend each
others resurrection even with this
clear teaching.
v. 40. "Jesus saith unto her,
Said | not unto thee, if thou would
est believe thou shouldest see the
glory of Cod" All things even the
life now and yet to come must spell
the glory of God; such is possible
to those having abiding faith in
Christ.
VS.. Al, AZ. "Then they took
away the stone from the place
where the dead was laid. And Je-
sus lifted up his eyes and said,
Father, l thank thee that thou hast
heard me. And / knew that thou
nearest me always; but because of
the people which stand by said it,
that they may believe that thou
hast sent me-" There was no petit
ton in this prayer, but profound
gratitude; for his faith was perfect
that God answered prayer.
v. 43. "And when he thus had
spoken. he cried with loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth. And he that
was dead came forth" No other
so-called God ever did anything like
this; all religions other than the
Christian religion are defective at
this point. No other religion gives
any assurance of resurrection and
life after death.

PLEASANT EVENING AT HOME
OF CAPT. TRAVIS

Monday evening Captain Irven
Travis very pleasantly entertained a
few friends at his home with an
oyster supper, which was elegantly
prepared by his housekeeper. The
public in general is familiar with Mr..
Travis as versatile entertainer,
and with his ability as writer, and
his keen business acumen: but only
those who have had the pleasure of
being his guests in a quiet evening
at his home, can fully realize how
outstanding he is-not alone for his
years, 88, but outstanding for a
man OF any age. Men such as Mr..
Travis should never grow old-and
he hasn't.

fine birthday cake with candles. The
table decorations were sweet peas,
and the favors were suggestive Of
the Valentine season Following the
dinner, the afternoon was spent in
playing bridge, prizes being award
ed. and the occasion was a most de-
lightful one throughout The guests
were Mrs. G.. w. Archer, Mrs. ]. K.

Seventh Street Church Growing

The Church of Christ, meeting on
Seventh street, again enjoyed two
good services last Sunday, with
large crowds at both services. Evan
gelist T. w. Butterfield of this city
preached at both services. Several
people from out of town were pres
ent, including some from Pennsville,
POrtersville, Glouster, GAINESVILLE,
and Stockport Evangelist Butter
field is leaving soon for series OF
meetings in Akron, after which he
will be with the local congregation
again for the first half of March.
Plans for a continued growth are
being laid for the Seventh street
church, and it is expected that at
tendance will be greatly increased.
Although the congregation is one of
the largest of the religious bodies iu
the town, yet they have never in any
manner used entertainment to draw
a crowd nor to support the work.
They emphasize only solemn wor-
ship and a strict adherence to the
New Testament plan of doing things.
