THE GREAT INVISIBLE
By LYNN BALTZER TSCHUDY

BY LYNN BALTZER TSCHUDY
On that first Easter Day. the
women who came to the tomb
were told to Go tell his
disciples and Peter Mark
1919 On Good Friday, the
only real thing on this earth that
mattered at all to Peter, has be-
come invisible as far as he was
concerned. Jesus, whom Peter
had called "the Son of God,
was dead, and possibly Peter
witnessed the entombment. The
real had become invisible for
Peter.
Peter was quick TO respond and
quick to do things. even though
they required repentance later,
and ultimate forgiveness. Peter
had denied Jesus, but just why
he denied Him, we are not GER
tain. Peter may have felt that
Jesus would never be without
power as the Son Of God, and
consequently He would never
die. Yet Jesus was sentenced
to the death Of the cross by an
unruly mob Of men who stupid
~ challenged His authority and
His very life. Peter saw only
the man Jesus, even if he did
call Him the Son of God. Peter
saw that man crucified, as if He
were not the Son Of God, as Pc
ter had different ideas in his
own mind about the Son Of God.
But Peter was human. Jesus
was Divine.
Peter was quick TO grasp
things mentally, when certain
cues were given. He seemed
like an actor on a stage who
knows his lines not too we'll,
but we'll enough that when a
single word would come from
the "promptcrs' box he would
be on his way again. One word
was all that Peter needed He
had the faith, even though it
might now be dormant, accord
ing to outward appearances. He
had thought about all of Jesus
sayings. 1t might be that the
Son of God had TO lay down His
life as ransom for mankind,
and yet it didn't make sense. For
the time, Peter forgot that the
things that were real to Jesus in
His life, were not the physical,
the body Of the Master, but His
faith, His hope, and His love.
The invisible personality of Jes-
us was going TO become real to
Peter. Somehow, it could be
realized that the real Jesus was
more real now than ever. Yet,
Peter had nothing to prove such
an idea, even if he had it.
Peter heard his name called.
1t was the women back from
the tomb. Somehow they we're
sent to tell him something. Who
might have sent them? And
why? What was there left of
Importance, that meant any
thing at all? If only Jesus were
there Was that what they
were trying to tell him? "He is
on His way to Galilee, and will
meet you there Yes. they said
that. 1t must be. Of course, it
could be no other way! Did not
Jesus raise others from the
dead? Why could not He Him
self be raised up the same way?
The power? He had it all the
time He had to die TO prove it
to the rest OF men. HE is ris-
en-"
Peter grasped that report
without much effort. The Mas
ter crucified, had now become
invisible through death and
burial, but that was not the
real. The body was not the
real thing The personality is
the real thing. In its final form,
after death, it was certainly
reality. The body that Jesus
now had gave Peter little con-
Germ. The real things on Jesus
life were taking shape for Peter.
He could now understand, He

By the Way
BETH BLAINE

from Leonard BLOCK, VINO Tor
more than year has been over
seas as Red Cross Club direc-
tor managing clubs in North Ire
land, and more recently has been
assigned duty as a Red Cross
port official overseas. Some of
the letters concern the bombings
by the new German rocket ships
and are clear. concise express
sion of the writer's first-hand
impressions. Mr.. Blocks family
has kindly allowed the publica-
ton of few of the high lights
which will be Of special interest
to his many friends here in
Washington.
To quote . =. Last night
about 1920 I walked out of the
tube station to 60 to my hotel
across the street and looked up
as there was flash in the sky
then saw two searchlights con-
verge on plane. My reaction
was-this is a strange night to
have a practice, it is raining and
there are heavy clouds. Then
almost Immediately most beau
tiful cluster of lights, like Roman
candles, accompanied by tre-
mendous noise Gt was appar-
emily a rocket gum followed by
loud sounds from the ack ack.
That was enough for me and I
hastily retreated to the tube sta
ton. I stayed only 10 minutes,
and then as things were quiet, I
started for the hotel. En- route
the guns began again, this time
in force, and they kept up for
hours. In the hotel found dukes
and duchesses, high-ranking Off
cials and officers, glamour girls
milling around in all kinds of
clothes. I got into conversation
with a colonel of the regulars,
who had flown over two days be-
fore and it certainly was a bap-
tism for him. We got to bed
about 1:30 to the sound of dis
tant guns and no all-clear signal.
At 4:30 another burst and again
at 6 and occasionally ever since.
THE grapevine opinion is that
these are pilotless planes, con-
trolled by radio =.
II do not believe that people
in America give any serious con-
sideration to the German reports
of the breakdown in morale of
the English people. AS a matter
of fact while 1 was writing this
one of the bombs went off not
far away and shook this building.
With natural curiosity I went into
the street and found people going
about as usual, doing such mum
dane things as cleaning. windows.
." Yesterday was in West
minister Abbey for the service and
as the dean was preaching, one of
these weapons flew low, in fact so
low we thought momentarily it
would hit the church. Apparently
there was some disturbance on the
roof, or glass broken, but I can
assure you the preacher con-
tinued with the service and I was
the only one who even raised
himself slightly from his seat.
This bomb hit not very far away
and within 20 minutes some peo-
pie, who were injured, were being
evacuated by ambulance and the
debris cleared away and life con-
tinuing in its normal manner
around and about the bombed
building ~.
1t would be an eXaggeration
to say that people are not con-
cerned or that it is not a topic of
conversation, but from a military
viewpoint the effect of these
weapons is of little value. To
break the morale of the British
people will require a great deal
more than the enemy is capable
of ="
