our preaching vain; your faith also is
vain"
Every day. in every section Of the
world, there rage arguments about
religion. Often men debate as If
there were no authority above their
own reason to which appeal might
be made. They talk as though his
torical facts were to be decided by
horse sense; and as II one mans
opinion were as good as another's.
In other words, they leave the Bible
entirely out of their discussion. and
airily put forth their own immature
opinions as if they were the last word
on the subject.
The Real Evidence.
To reject the teaching of the res
direction is to reject the New Testa-
ment; for 1t is full OF the fact and
Of the implications of the resurrec-
ton Of Christ. And apart from this
book we have absolutely no other
historical evidence OF the raising Of
the dead to life.
When the sorrow Of death enters
a circle Of love, it is not to the bar
rem philosophy of the ancients that
we turn for comfort. but to this
book Of the immortal hope, whose
words OF sweet assurance are re-
peated daily over thousands of biers,
imparting the light Of eternal sun
rise to the dark night Of grief.
The ultimate proof of the love OF
God for man is His complete identi-
fication of Himself with humanity
in the person Of His only Son. From
cradle to grave, and beyond. Jesus
went for loves sake He went the
limit" to demonstrate how great is
the Fathers love.
As Jesus shared our earthly life and
death, so We may share His resur-

tality." The conviction that this Su-
preme flower and fruit Of the uni
verse, the human soul, was not born
to fall and perish utterly, and that
this earthly life is. by many signs. only
the preparation for some form Of ex-
istence lies deep down in the thinking
OF every normal person. Addison put
the thought into a few lines:
1T must be so-Plato, thou reason
eth we'll!
Else whence this pleasing hope, this
fond desire,
This longing after immortality?
Or whence this secret dread and
inward horror
OF falling into naught? Why shrinks
the soul
Back on herself, and startles at de-
struction?
IT'S the divinity that stirs within us;
It's Heaven itself that points out an
hereafter.
And intimates eternity to man.
Eternity: Thou pleasing, dreadful

Facing the Facts.
As a bit Of reporting or historical
writing. the four evangelists did first
class work. They were mindful Of
the facts, first of all. We see this
clearly in the resurrection story. First,
they present evidence that He died
the Jewish usage that the condemned
criminal must not remain on the
cross over a high sabbath; the spear
thrust of the soldier which brought
both water and blood gushing from
the Victims side is sure proof Of
death; the report OF the veteran CEN
turion: the tomb sealed with the seal
Of Rome and guarded by her legion
naireS.
Then. in all their naturalness, the
historians relate the appearances Of
the Lord to the various disciples, the
first of whom had come to the tomb
expecting to find a dead body, and not
q risen Christ
OF the 10 appearances OF the risen
Christ-ll. counting His appearance

ing wrote. In compact quatrain:
mot she with traitorous kiss her
Master stung:
Not she denied Him with unfaithful
tongue:
She when apostles fled could danger
brave,
Last at His cross and earliest at His
grave"
The first appearances were in or
near Jerusalem, in this order:
To Mary Magdalene, at the sep
ulchre;
To the women on the way from the
sepulchre;
To Simon Peter alone, near Jeru-
salem;
To two disciples on the way to
Emaus. near Jerusalem:
To the apostles, except Thomas, at
Jerusalem;
To the apostles. with Thomas,
week later, at Jerusalem.
The next three appearances were
in Galilee, first to seven fishermen; !;
then to the ii on a mountain; then
to about 500 brethren at once. The
| final appearance was at the Assem-
sion, on Mount Olivet.
The Final Proof.
Assuming the historical validity Of
the Bible. We find that the resurrec-
ton is established by many witnesses,
and that it Is as completely buttressed
fact as any event in ancient his
tory.
There remains one final proof Of
the resurrection Of Jesus Christ which
in the case Of millions of persons,
makes all other evidence unnecessary
That is the fact of personal, present
relationship with the living Christ, to
whom long line of martyrs and
saints bear testimony. saying with ST.
Paul. Il know whom I have believed. :"
That relationship is, for multitudes,
more real than any transaction with
merchant or friend.
