Him. The difference is that it
was now glorified. Notice how
the apostles were tempted to be-
lieVe that He was no longer
man; but our Lord pointedly ate
dinner with them to show that
He was still human, because
everyone knows that a ghost has
no stomach. Another time, He
had st. Thomas push his finger
into the nail-holes and drop his
hand into His slit side. You
can't feel a ghost, and Thomas
seemed to have been satisfied
that it was his friend, Jesus
Christ, for he dropped to his
knees at once and cried out
MY Lord and My God"
Then this is our ordinary hu-
man destiny: to be born, to die,
and to rise again. That is the
only conclusion we can logically
draw, especially in view of our
Lords assertions during His
lifetime-''I am the resurrection
and the life; he that believeth
in me, although he be dead,
shall live: and everyone that
liveth and believeth in me,
shall not die forever" (John,
11:25, 26.
Our Lord might have switched
He might have changed from
man to God; He might have
left His body in the grave and
flashed over the hills and lakes
of Galilee like the lightning ap-
pearance of God in the Old
Testament-but no, He takes
with Him the body we know, the
face kissed by Judas, and the
feet annointed by Magdalene. 1t
is the same Jesus before and
after. So that if His previous
life was like ours and a pattern
for us, then His present glor-
flied life, His risen life, is a
token, a pattern, a demonstra-
ton of what we are destined to
experience in the life to come.

Local Records Will
Be Filed Later
In Columbus

The draft has breathed its last
and at midnight, Monday, March 81.
1t was as dead as a dodo bird.
Tear up your draft cards, fellows,
If you want to; give 'em to the
baby to chew or save them If you
want some handy proof of identifi-
cation.
1t won't matter now for the seIec-
tive service system which sent over
1900 men and women to battle in
World War II from Noble county is
no more.
There will be no more president
ial greeting" that sent young men
to induction centers during the six
and a half years while selective
service was in force.
The last Official meeting of the
Noble county draft board was held
Thursday evening at their offices in
Caldwell. Their job was over. They
had served well and faithfully on a
job that required tact and common
sense at all times.
Only two members of the board
had served the six and a half year
period. They were A. N. Secrest of
Mt. Ephraim, chairman and Hugh
Cox of SarahSville. Herman Harper
of Caldwell route 2 had served since
May, 1941. The other two members
were Earl G. Archer of Caldwell
route 6 and Frank Boyd of Dexter
City.
Richard Hanes was appointed as
clerk of the local draft board on
October 16, 1910 and served contin-
rlOIIclv in that capacity I'm IN and
including the present. Hanes' cler-
ical duties will continue for several
months as yet. Eventually all Noble
county records will be transferred
to Columbus where they will be
kept permanently.
Congress has created new
agency to succeed Selective Service,
called the Office of Selective Serv-
ice Records. This office has as its
purpose to iquidate all but about
1900 of the present staff of $500
paid employees.
About $500 paid personnel will
have to be eliminated mot later"
than March 81, 1948 according to the
bill passed by Congress. Unofficial
! estimates by officials indicate this
task will be completed in the fall.
The original draft was passed by
Congress on Sept. Is, 1910, with
restriction to be a years training.
No draftees were to be sent outside
U. S. possessions. The first registra-
ton came Oct 16, 1910. In August,
l94l, the training period was ex-
| tended to l3 months and after Pearl
| Harbor all restrictions were lifted.

Christ Broke the Path

It's strange, isn't it, to think
of Jesus becoming man?-To
think that He was born a help
less infant, just as we are born
helpless infants; that He grew
from childhood to manhood;
that He ate and drank, shivered
and perspired; that at times He
got tired and sat down to rest;;
that He died and was buried
like any other son of man.
He did it, He told us, to be our
example in all things. And that's
the key of His resurrection-the
significance of Easter. If He was
our example in life, then He
was our pathfinder in death too.
We can't believe that He set
aside His humanity at the resur-
rection. The tomb was empty.
He had His human body with
