will not be conducive to the peace of

Message
BY REV. J. EVERETTE NEESE.

We are now in the midst of Holy
Week. Easter is near at hand. I won
der if we have ever considered how
specifically Jesus lived, not only dur
ing his whole life but more especially
during that last week. He realized
that his death was near at hand. That
he was to do what he had to do i'm
mediately. He had, as each of us, life
to live. He lived it well and left fOr
us an example.
l have a life with Christ to live,
But ere live it, must I wait
Till learning can clear answer give
Of this or that books date?
have a life in Christ to live,
J. have a death in Christ to die,
And must l wait till science give
All doubts full reply?
Nay, rather, while the sea Of doubt
Is raging wildly round about,
Questioning of life, and death, an
sin,
Let RE but creep within thy fold, o
Christ,
And at thy feet but take the lowest
seat,
And hear thy loving voice repeat
In gentle accent, heavenly sweet,
Come unto me and rest.
Believe Me and be blest.'

Mr.. Brown made this statement
about his services:
"Wednesday of Holy Week has been
called the day of retirement. There il
no record of the events of this day.
Jesus spent it in retirement in the
home of his friends at Bethany. The
little city of Bethany, just 2910 yards,
or mile and So from Jerus- ,lem, on
the road to Jeroco, was the home of
Lazarus and his sisters Also tn 2

the feast for Jecus, and Mary anoint-
ed his feet with the sacred ointment
Bethany is the place where Jesus
says; II am the resurrection and the
life" Here he brings Lazarus from the
grave after three days Scarcely any
place in the Holy Land has witnessed
so many tender interests to the Chris.
ian.
THE village is now in ruins, its
modern name S Aziriyah, name de-
rived from the word Lazarus: today
it is very poor village with only
twenty families living there.
"The lesson for Wednesday is Jesus
in the home. 1t is his day to visit your
home to be with his friends, are You
ready for his call? He is at the door.
let him in your heart, open your
homes to him. Are there things in
your home that you would have to
hide before he could come in? May
he have the keys to every room, to
EVERY locked box and secret place in
your home.
Love has called Feel new life.

And this time Christ shall walk with
