Paul breaches the Risen Christ
Acts 13:16-39; 1 Corinthians 1918
%, for Sunday, April 8:
Immediately after Paul was con-
verted, he preached in Damascus
where he was SO opposed that he
went into retirement into Arabia
for three years, after which he ap-
peared at Jerusalem; introduced by
Barbados, he was commended by the
brethren; then when preaching
Christ he was again prosecuted and
he escaped to Caesarea. He then
labored in his home town of Tarsus
where Barnabas called him to help
him in Antioch of Syria. After few
years of happy service, he with Bar
nabas was divinely called as the first
Christian missionaries. They visit
ed the island of Cyprus enroute to
Antioch of Psydia, where this lesson
took place.
Men of Israel, and ye that fear God,
give audience; Of this mans seed
hath God, according to his promise,
raised unto Israel a Saviour Jesus. "
Paul preached a positive Christ.
First he preached the Christ of Mes
sianic prophecy There was sure
foundation for this proclamation rec
ognized by his hearers. We, too,
must find true foundations for our
Christian faith
VS.. "a, 25. "When John had first
preached before his coming the bap
tism of repentance to all the people
Of Israel. And as John fulfilled his
course, he said, Whom do you think
that l am? l am not he. But be-
hold there cometh one after me,
whose shoes of his feet I am not
worthy to loose" He now declares
Jesus is the Christ of Gospel preach
ing, illustrated in the preaching of
John the Baptist, the forerunner or
Christ. Foundation truths reinforc-
ed by facts of history make for con-
fldence and faith.
v. 26. Men and brethren, chill
dren of the stock of Abraham, and
whosoever among you feareth God,
to you is this word of salvation
sent" Paul is definite. No one is
saved by generalities, but "Thou
are the man" is effective. Paul had
a message because his spoken words
had personal applications. A SER
mon is delivered before congrega-
ton, a message is delivered to a con-
V. 81. "For they that dwell at
Jerusalem, and their rulers, because
they knew him not, nor yet the voic-
es of the prophets which are read
every Sabbath day, they have full
filled them in condemning him. ;"
Here is piece of logic: They did not
know Christ because they did not
know the prophets which were read
every Sabbath day. They did not
know the prophets as to the doctrine
of God because they did not desire
to know Gods will, neither did they
know that in cOndemning Christ
they were. fulfilling the very scrip
lures which they were reading.
v. 28. "And though they found
no cause of death in him, yet desir-
ed they Plate that he should be
slain" Here Paul declares that Je-
sus is the Christ of the atoning
grace.
v. 20. "And when they had full
filled all that was written of him,
they took him down from the tree,
and laid him in sepulcher. The
fact of burial proves the reality OF
Jesus death; the fact Of Jesus be-
ing laid in an empty tomb is an

added fact that Jesus died. There
is to be no phantasy as to Christ's
death; when this fact is established
His resurrection can not be explain
ed away.
V. 80. "But God raised him from
the dead" Here Paul declares Je-
sus to be Christ of the empty tomb.
This fact had witnesses whose tes-
timony would stand in any court be-
cause they were trustworthy and
they saw the risen Christ. (verse
3D.
V. SO. "Be it known unto you
therefore, men and brethren, that
through this man is preached unto
is an evangelist He points to the
fact of sins and then to the fact of a
Saviour who will save men from
their sins.
V 80. "And by him all that be-
lieve are justified from all things,
from which ye could not be justified
by the laws of Noses The Jew
traditionally tried to attain justifica-
ton through keeping Moses law,
but this could not be done; here
then Paul preached Jesus was the
Christ of redeemed souls because by
faith in him men find both justif1ca-
ton and salvation.
v. 19 ''If in this life only we
have hope in Christ, we are of all
men most miserable" How ter.
rible the last hour would be, if we
found that death ends all
v. 20 "But now is Christ risen
from the dead and become the first
fruits of them that slept Christ's
resurrection is sample of the resur-
rection that awaits Christians. Paul
bases this statement on the two fol-
lowing verses.

spent on more vital matters and
which resulted in the passage of the
measure in the house Thursday,
leaves us singularly cold. Personal
ly it doesn't mean a thing to US
non-practitioner of nudism that we
are-and we can't get very much ex-
cited at the alleged injustice which
forbidden to practice nudism in
groups.
We suspect that the surprisingly
emphatic margin by which the house
bill was approved was not so much
crack at our own homegrown
nudists as it was rebuke to the
high-powered lobby allied with the
national nudists' organizations
which has deftly horned into the
controversy in an attempt to defeat
the bill. In day when there are
more propaganda groups extant
than you can shake a stick at, many
OF them suspiciously akin to racketss
thriving on membership dues and
fees Of various sorts, it wouldn't be
surprising if even nudism, or sun
bathing as it is sometimes emphat-
ically called, were made the basis of
source of revenue. And, anyway
ifornia promoters is Ohio nudism
anyway? It's a poor thing, but our
own and our domestic nudists, like
ether independent Buckeyes, can run
their affairs without outside help.
Seriously, we don't think that
passage of the bill has done any
harm and if it should get by the
senate and become law we shall still
be of the same opinion. If nudism
doesn't exactly "strike at the very
heart of every home" in the districts
where nudists operate, as it's spon-
sor asserts, it certainly isn't prac-
tiee which ought to be encouraged.
And the fact that the Ohio laws gov
erning indecent exposure are prob
ably adequate to cope with any SER
ious ''nudist camp menace" despite
the opinion of a former attorney
general, is no particular argument
against clinching the matter by spe--
ciic legislation aimed directly at
nudist camps, which-to get right
down to cases-we don't believe
more than a fractional percent OF
Ohioans really want to see operating
with implied governmental sanction.

Paul breaches the Risen Christ,
Acts 1869; / Corinthians 1919
%, for Sunday, April g:
Why is Easter the greatest day in
the church year?
How do the death of Christ and
his resurrection confer eternal life
on the believer?
What is the difference between a
sermon and a message?
How may we have in our personal
experience the proof of the living
Christ?
What was the subject and the eli
max of PaupS sermon?
Glorious says: Though man
gain the whole world and lose eter-
nal life, he has profited nothing and
less than nothing. God proclaims
in special way on Easter the gift
of eternal life to those who believe
and obey"
Lesson prayer: 1--WE pray that we
may make first things first. We
would not allow our purpose to be
diverted from the Christian goal as
taught by Gods Word.

Ice From Lake Redwood

There has been some discussion
as to the purity of ice harvested
in Lake Redwood and several citi-
zens have requested the health
officer of Redwood Falls to in
vestigate the ice cupply to deter
mine its fitness when used in
drinking water,
For information the State
Board of Health was consulted
and it was learned that for a
number of years the sanitation OF
ice was investigated but the prac-
tice was discontinued in 1920 be-
cause the Board found that ice
was an unimportant factor in the
spread of communicable diseases.
The danger lies more in the
way the ice is handled with UNI
clean hands and dishes rather
than in the ice itself.
Certain rules must be OBJ
served in harvesting the ice,
and when SO harvested the
bacteriOlOgic count is no more
than ordinary city water
which we drink every day.
Freezing produces marked re-
duction in organic substances and
the bacteria are driven downward
in the freezing process; therefore,
we may assume that clear natural
ice is just as sanitary as artificial
ice which may be produced from
