Thus it is written and thus it be-
hocved Christ to suffer, and to rise

our Lord came the solemn warning g
against trying to be true to the
Christ without being true to the
cross upon which he purchased our
salvation.
remission of sins should be preach
ed in his name among all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem We are
told to preach the remission of sins
in Christ's name because Christ has
done something which makes remis-
sion possible He has done some
thing which no other man could do,
on which your salvation and mine
depends.
V. 48. "And ye are witnesses of
these things" The task Of Chris
tian disciples was clearly and simp-
ly set forth in this commission;
they We're to witness. The import
ant question for us is to make sure
that we are really witnessing for
Christ.
V 40 "And, behold, I send the
promise of my Father upon you;
but tarry ye in Jerusalem. until We
be endued with power from on
high" This is the promise of the
Comforter as recorded in John
15:26. Not until this promise was
fulfilled in them were they ready to
carry out the great commission.

Christ's Commission, Luke 24:36-
53, for Sunday, March 30:
v. SO. ''And as they thus spake,
Jesus himself stood in the midst OF
them, and saith unto them, Peace be
unto you" The diciples closetad
behind closed doors were recounting
their experiences of the past few
days, giving special heed to the re-
port of the two disciples experience
on their way to Emmaus. Jesus
miraculously appeared without using
an open door and of course SO APP
pearing, fear came over the dis
ciples which he quickly dispelled
with his greeting of peace be unto
you" The fact of Christs presence
and not the how, is of prime import
ance.
v. 38. "And he said unto them,
Why are ye troubled? And why do
thoughts arise in your heartsP''
Here is an appeal to their fat ii
which seemed to have been waver-
ing 1t is of prime Importance that
we do everything possible TO have
and maintain strong Christian
faith.
V. 80 "Behold my hands and my
feet, that it is | myself; handle me
and see: for spirit hath not flesh
and bones, as ye see me have" Je-
sus would teach the reality of his
resurrection; as to the physcai
form of his body, that is non-essen-
tial. To us il means the reality of
immortality; our form III the ne\t
world is nos 20 important; our per

we need to look we'll after the things

had thus spoken, he Showed them
his hands anG his feet. And while
they believed not for joy, and Won
dered, he said unto them, Have We
any meat? And they gave him a
piece of broied fish and of an hon
ey comb" That Christ was with
them seemed too good to be true
and it was with difficulty that they
believed him the Christ. 1t is hu-
man to want evidences of things
hard to believe and Jesus would not
ignore the human way of attaining
knowledge. SO long as our friends
can sit at the table and enjoy eating
with us, so long are we assured
and happy to know of their pres
ence. Jesus thus accommodated him.
self to a human situation and he
took and did eat before them" So
there was removed all thought that
he was a ghost.

There are the words which / spake

that all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the law Of

calls attention to the fact that the
predictions he had made of his own
death and resurrection had now
been fulfilled He opened their uR-
derstanding by explaining the scrip,

been quite familiar, and yet there

J. =. BALDRlDGE INTERESTED
IN RIVER LORE
Warren, Ohio,
March 10 1Qd1


The Morgan County Democrat,
| McConnelsville, Ohio
Dear Mr.. Editor: i am enclosing
a clipping from the Youngstown
Vindicator of Sunday March 16. Not
long ago | saw press notice say
ing that a River Museum was be-
| ing established in Marietta Being
a native of Morgan county | was
naturally interested / think it is a
splendid move to preserve this river
lore for future generations Several
months ago l saw in one of the Nor
gan county papers about Ben Ricn-
ardson and his collection. It was all
intensely interesting to me. especiai-
ly from the fact that Ben and Mrs
Richardson were pupils of mine
when / was principal of the Malta
high school back in 1895, while
Mott Arnold was superintendent. We
count them among our real friends
and after all these are the true
values of life.
/ have recently been living over
some of the events of the past and
in this connection, my first ride on
Muskingum river steamboat. / can
recall while living at Deerfield in
the early SOS when the wind was
just right We could hear the whis-
ties Of the big steamers on the
Muskingum, although we were five
or six miles away Late one fall in
company with my cousin, Will
Baldridge, who was making his
home with us, we decided to visit
his folks in Chandlersville We left
Malta about $50 in the morning
(possibly on the Mink; l am not
sure) and went as far as Duncan
Falls. We walked across the hills,
mile or two, and caught the B. T.
and G. narrow gauge to our desti-
nation. To me it was a great ad
venture and has been indelibly
stamped on my memory.
/ also recalled the fact that be-
fore the days of the railroad in
Morgan county, when the river was
frozen solid and no water transpor-
tation. the Manly Plow com
pany had to haul their products 20
GAINESVILLE, sometimes on the ice
when it was sufficiently strong. SO
far as the Muskingum is concerned
the days of the big stern and side
wheeler are gone never to return.
