Easter In 1854


Bliss Perry has sad Easter begins like all deep
things, in mystery and ends like all high things in
age And is the way Easter ends that believe is of
marvellous significance The story of the resurrection is
the most fascinating mysterious and hopeful event in
history. 1t is mystery which dees all human under
standing yet it has furnished courage for of the
most daring, persistent and sefabandoned adventures
the world has ever known.
Whatever may have been the mystery involved for
the disciples it experience which set destiny
OF life that both contagious and revolutionary
And since that time wherever the story of the risen Lord
has been presented in meanngfu terms it has given to
men and women perspective and lease on life.
The celebration of this event in 1854 should be an
occasion to recapture in our day. the meaning of the
resurrection for individual and group life 1t is
OF the deathleSS hope of the human hearChriSt
is alive forever more And in that hope the followers
of Christ face with courage each emerging challenge
In his recent book which reviewed on these pages
in the issue of March 49, christian Teaching in the
Churches Dr. John O. Schiser points out that the time
may when the Christians will again be prosecuted
We convinced that this is significant observation
The fact is that Christians have always been prosecuted
when they have dared to take Jesus seriously in relation
ship to the practical problems of society
The attack on Christianity today is rather subtle
tends to hide itself under the cloak of patriotism
And brands of the advocates who insist on op-
Grating principles of the Christian faith as being
subversve and communistc And requires tremendous
to stand firm and witness to the faith in action
More and more shall probably be called upon to not
only witness but to suffer for the faith Our undyng
hope that Christ alive forever more and the forces
of righteousness are the side of Immortality.
Loyal American citizens who are being harassed
and Wrolgfuly abused by the fanatcal of Nc
Carthyism should take refuge in the fact that while
Christians have always been called upon to suffer- they
have also been called upon to save, and salvation is
through Jesus Christ Lord who is the same today
yesterday and forever"

If the Bible was obeyed to the
letter, and we followed the life of
Jesus Christ we could have a world
to live in that we could call a
paradise.
We are building Gods House
with money like Judas money, we
are told thirty pieces of silver. He
betrayed our Christ, but his money
was not mixed with the gold.
Unworthy money Judas put in,
then he went out and was con-
demned. He hung himself the Bible
says, and it must have been a
strong limb.
There was no sorrow for Judas
at all, he betrayed our blood she'd
ding Christ, the one to die to save
our soul. He gave his only pre-
cious life.
The bread if taken of his body,
and the wine is taken of his blood
and, Noah's ark was taken you see,
that the world would be destroyed
by flood.
Many things we say is new in
life, the Bible says nothing is new
under the sun l am bound to be-
lieve the word of God and Jesus
Christ his son.
Brains are leading thousands to
He'll. 1t takes the love of God to
meet Christ. Jesus says am the
door way. Brother Big Man how
about your life?
AS often as you eat of this bread
and drink of this wine also. 1t
keeps you all in remembrance of
me, in heaven | stand at the door.
Read this copy on Easter Day.
Write me ard tell me if it is true
the Lord gave me these words to
write. It's a warning to you, it's
not new.

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: was settin down drink
ing my beer and eating my fish
and wondering what it is about
this fellow Senator Mccarthy that
has everybody talking and writing
about him, but hadn't as yet
aroused the comment of Aine Hag-
CARS Chillun, as most things do
that gets to the point where they
have everybody talking. AS you
know it is my habit to roam up
and down the Ole Avenue and get
the wisdom of the tribe, always
expressed in terms that everybody
can understand. AS | said, as long
as he has been in the public eye,
and seeing how Aine Haggar's
Chillun never miss coming up with
their opinion regarding everything
and everybody / was beginning to
feel a little baffled as | hadn't
heard nobody say anything about
the Senator and despite the senis-
ter regard and the fear in which
the gentleman from Wisconsin is
looked upon in certain quarters l
know, or at least | couldn't believe
that it was fear that had kept,
and was keeping Aine Haggars
Chillun from opening up on the
good brother :. While | was mus
ing thus, it wasn't to long before
| was Jared out of my reverie
by voice saying, Looka hyar man,
what kinda fellow does you think
that there Senator Mccarthy is
which question was followed
by what loked like it would turn
out to be an endless line on in
conclusive, nonpositive dissertations
on the subject in question inter
rupted from time to time by a
new conner butting in to ask /.
Say, Man, is dat who Vail talkin
bout, before moving on to another
table what the juice from the hop
malt and the fruits from the
streams was flown in greater
abundance +. but finally up comes
a fellow that brought the thing to
a head totally becoming to the
wisdom of Aine Haggar's Chillun
as this fellow approached,
fearing the aforementioned ques-
ton, somebody already at the table
where the subject was under con-
sideration said, Say, Man, show
huff now, what does you think
bout dis hyar fellow dat 'dey calls
Senator Mccarthy what we is talk
in bout | wasn't surprised
when a course of Amen's followed
when he answered and said
