thus experience the presence of God.
v. IA. "Afterward he appeared

Evidently the disciples were slow to
believe the report of the women for
which they were upbraided. There
is a just condemnation not only of
those who wilfully sin against Cod,

A RIOT OF COLOR

Desert, the Petrified Forest, the Col

coloring of Bryce and Zion Parks.
There is no such array of natural
beauty anywhere in the world. I am
sure it pleases the Great Architect
that million or two of people come
here every year. We will think
first of Zion
We came to Zion park by way of
Barstow. The city was more or

sand. The sand in turn became
dunes, which the wind piled against
the houses. Doors were buried.

Christ, Mark 16:1-20, for Sunday,
June 26:
How account for women being
the first at the tomb of Christ?
What good reason may be given
for Christ having especially remem-
bered Peter as stated in this lesson?
What are the proofs that the
resurrection Of Christ was not a
mere myth?
What evidence of Christ's resur'
rection do we have today that the
disciples did not have?
What does belonging to the point
of being saved involve?
Glorious says: "The Christ VINO
sits at the right hand of God wields
all the power of omnipotence and
of well-being, if we love and trust
him.. When life has ebbed away,
his will be the first voice to well
come u.s."
Lesson prayer: lizard as is the
experience of parting with our low
ed ones, we find consolation, hope
and strength in the power of the
resurrection experienced by Christ
and offered to his followers"

Sharing Service with Living
Christ, Mark 16:1-20, for Sunday,
June 26:
In this lesson are found the resur-
rection of Christ associated with
the Great Commission and the COM
pleted priesthood of Christ.
v. 1. "And when the Sabbath
was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary
had bought sweet spices, that they
might come and anoint him." 1t is
to the eternal credit of these women
that they loved we'll enough to take
risks and make sacrifices for no one
knew what the furious mob that
crucified Christ might do to his fol-
lowers.
VS.. 2, 8. "And very early in the
morning, the first day of the week,
they came unto the sepulcher and
they said among themselves, Who
shall roll us away the stone from
the door of the sepulcher?" Great
difficulties confront every one who
would live right-some of them
may be imaginary, but some of them
are very real. But when one does
his best, God rolls away the stone.
It was not so necessary the stone
should be rolled away to let Christ
cut (for nothing could have kept
him in the tomb as it was to give
his friends a chance to see that he
was not there. We too are prone
to look down at the grave of our
loved ones who have died in his
name, as if they were there.
v. 5. "And entering into the
sepulcher, they saw a young man
sitting on the right side, clothed iii
long white garment; and they
were affrighted The fact OF
Christ's resurrection was so inn
portant that it was confirmed by
heavenly messenger. The whole
thing was so out of the ordinary
that the women were naturally
alarmed. Here is hidden experience
that Christ's followers may have
too may rise and have a share i'll
the mystery of life and death
V. g. "And he saith unto them.
Be not affrighted; Ye seek Jesus OF
Nazareth, which was crucified; he is
risen, he is not here; behold the
place where they laid him." God
extends calm and quietness of soul
which accompany faith in the Lord.
We are to wait on the Lord till the
truth breaks through and we too
shall see.
V. 7. "But go your way, tell his
disciples and Peter that he goeth
before you into Galilee; there shall
We see him as he said unto you.'
The special mention of Peter was
probably intended to comfort him
and assure him that he was not left
out of consideration because of his
denial. That Christ should again
meet in his disciples, showed that
Gods work and His kingdom goes
on after death. There is to be no
breach in the soul life.
v. s. "And they went out quick
ly, and fed from the sepulcher; for
they trembled and were amazed;
neither said they any thing to any

through which you may look from
this tunnel, on scenes of majesty
and grandeur, and say your last
farewell. We stopped the car many
times at Zion, just to get out and
look.
If one is thoughtful he will CON
the lessons he has learned at Zion.
God moves in mysterious way
His wonders to perform" So here
How was Zion formed? Once
very extensive Sahara was here, very
low and close to the ocean. Wind
piled the sand in dunes. This re-
suited in what is called cross bed
ding. Toss into one room all the
bedding, mattresses, pillows and all
the clothing of all the family, press
them down from the top, and it will
represent the crooked strata of Zion
park. This was evident as we left
that morning. Everywhere in the
layers exposed we could see cross
Etratification. The story of earth
millions of years ago was clearly
written. The sand dunes were piled
across each other in every direction.
as seen in the rocks. There had
been numerous uplifts when the
sand cemented together, followed
by numerous sinkings below the
sea, with consequent sediments,
then immense pressure from above,
more uplifts, and finally erosion as
one may view it today Zion is a
great block lifted between two
faults, when the backbone of the
continent was made
Bryce Canyon is in a block also
between two faults, and is tilted to
the west. But the making of Bryce
Canyon has been totally different
from that Of Zion The great upper
layers of Zion, pink and white were
entirely carried away by erosion.
Here they are cut into every con-
ceivable form, in bewildering ar
ray of color, pink, cream, red, lem
on, white. Now 5000 feet above the
ocean, once it was under the sea,
and received these sediments of
soft yielding marly lime. Erosion
has made it an amphitheatre of fam
tastic and often grotesque beauty,
varied and gorgeous in hue, at
times titanic, and again like fairy
fligreed lace work in delicacy.
Here are seen people, men, women.
queens, animals, trees, flowers,
leaning towers, Grecian temples,
frowning battlements, spires, min
aretes, colonnades, cathedrals, cas-
ties on the Rhine, palaces on fire, a
riot of fantasy and color Zion is
a celestial city, Bryce is city OF
fairyland and of dreams.
1t is hard to compare them, there
is such contrast At Zion you
look up, and at Bryce you look
down. Zion is sublime, on a giant
scale. Bryce is odd in figure, deli
cate and dainty in color, as if for a
dress parade. The river made Zion,
but Bryce is the result of the forces
of rain, snow, frost dew and of wind
and sun through aeons of time.
These gentler forces will wear
Bryce canyon away when the gaunt
peaks of Zion will still remain ir-
resistible. The breath taking coll
ors of Bryce are seen best at sun
rise and sunset after a gentle rain
has brought out all their brilliancy.
at Bryce we were welcom-
ed by 185 people from Ohio, who
made much of the coming Of a car
with an Ohio license. They were
ohriners from Columbus-Dr. How

Commenting on the opening of
the fifth religious play on Broad
way, an editorial in the New York
Mirror says: "Religion makes news.
People are interested in religion to-
day, and they are willing to talk
about religion without getting sore
and closing their minds to new opin-
ions. Religion is one subject that
Broadway play producers have nev-
er dared treat lightly and have sell
dom treated at ALL 1t is probably
significant and certainly interesting
that those religious plays have hit

received from the translator, the

guage used by about 100000 peo-

HITLER PUZZLES
STOCK TRADERS

NEW YORK, Sept. 13. Adolf
Hitler's speech to the Nazi Con-
gress at Nuremberg left Wall
Street in a confused frame of
mind.
While some traders thought
that the Nazi fuehrer's failure
to pledge armed aid for the Sude-
tens was mildly bullish, most of
them were of the belief that it
had left the European situation
Just where it was before-entirely
up in the air.
The coast markets reflected that
confusion. Prices at San Fran
cisco did practically nothing after
delivery of the speech, pivotal
shares maintaining earlier gains
recorded on the New York Stock
Exchange.
In New York short-covering in
many of the pivotal shares lifted
them from fractional gains to
more than 3 points, and gave the
general list a strong appearance
However, the record showed that
of the 664 issues traded, 283 rose
225 declined and 1856 were un
changed.
