Golden Text: "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ and that believing, you may have life through his name." John 20:31. ?re accompanied inree ana a nan ?gle where they crucifiction of the M Hathaways, and of these gospels wen John's Vision of Christ Matthew's gospeL was written as a narrative, and to show the fulfillment of prophecy, and by a Jew to the Hebrews or Jewish people. The gos pel of Mark was written by John Mark, advised by Peter, while that of Luke was written by himself and was considered by him and Paul, whose physician Luke was. Luke never saw Christ in the flesh and did not become a Christian until three and a half Years after the Master. All three were written within a few years after tne crucinctton ol Christ and the establishment of the early church. John, the beloved disciple, remain ed in Jerusalem for about fifteen years after the crucifiction of the Savior, and was very active in the establishment of the early church. Later he was arrested and banished to the Isle of Patmos, where he, was kept for a long time. Here he re ceived the revelations and it was here that he also received the messages to the seven churches. Later, when he was able to get away from the Island of Patmos, he returned to Palestine and later went to Asia, where he became the bishop of the seven early churches to whom the messages in the Revelations were sent. The gospel of John was written along towards the latta portion of his life, when all the experiences, both those enjoyable and the rough er ones as well had made his life full and placed him in that position where he was able to give a true and rounded-out expression of the pow ers of the Master. Referring to the Golden Text, in which John says: "These are writ ten that you might know that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, 'and that believing you might have life through his name," tells in the main why John supplemented the Synop tics with this the most lovable of the books of the New Testament. Beginning, John says: "In the be ginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God." "All things were made through him and without him was nothing made that was made. In him was life and the life was the light of men. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld the glory of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and truth." Thus did the writer testify that this is in truth the very Christ, the Son of God. John the Baptist said. "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins" of the world.' When Nathaniel was brought by Phillip unto the Master, he said, "Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou are the King of Israel. "Nicco demus came to Jesus by night and said unto the Master, "Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God, for thou could not do these miracles except God be with thee." In the conversation which followed, Christ replied, among other things, that which is considered the great est of all verses in the Bible, namely, "God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son that who soever believeth on him should not perish but might have everlasting life." Again, as the disciples and the Master were journeying, they came to the well of Jacob near Sychar, and there came the woman of Samaria, who was an enemy of the Jews, but when the Master had told her own history, though not the best, she said. "I perceive that thou art a prophet," but she went to the people of Sychar and said, "Is not this the very Christ, the Son of God?" When the five thousand were fed from the five barley loaves and the little smoked fishes of a boy in the crowd, which the Master multiplied to satisfy the hunger of all, and yet there remained many times the amount in the first place, this lad, like the real boy that he was, could not during the remainder of his life, forget to tell that the Savior of the world did this, and Christ himself The hearing of the complaint testined in connection with this, "I against Frank Schlichemeier at the;am the bread of life; he that cometh county court on Tuesday resulted in 'URto me shall never hunger, and he the settlement of the case by the de-,that believeth on me shall never fendant and the closing of the mat- thirst."

CASE IS SETTLED believe," and be -worshiped ;tb I Savior. i unrist nimseii sata. -1 am tne good shephard and I lay down my life for my sheep." i A personality like that of the Mas ter could not help but make friends notwithstanding the many enemies which he had. The family of Lazarus, Martha and Mary, who lived out near Bethany, were friends indeed, and it was to this home that the Master often vent. Now, when some of the chief of the Jews became of fended at the truths which Jesus told, they sought to take his life, and he with the disciples, went over into Perea, which is east of the Jor dan river, and there they were preaching and healing the sick. During the time that they were away, Lazarus took sick and the sisters sent word to Jesus, saying, "He whom thou lovest Is sick." In order to teach the lesson which he had for them and the entire world, i he still remained there for two days, j When he said, "We will go and . awaken Lazarus from this sleep," the disciples thought he must be better,! and Thomas said, "Why, it he is i sleeping, he must be getting better." j But Christ said plainly, "Lazarus is dead." They came back to Jerusalem and as they approached the home now of Martha and Mary, word of their coming reached Martha and she hastened forth to meet the Sav ior and his disciples. Corning unto them, she said unto the Master, "Lord, if thou had only been here, our brother Lazarus would not have died." Jesus said unto her. "Thy brother shall rise again," and Mar tha replied, "Sure, he shall rise again at the resurrectfon at the last day." Then the Master declares that won derful certitude, which Martha could not fully understand, "I am the res urrection and the life; he that be lieveth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believeth thou this?" Martha replied, "Yea. Lord, I be lieve that thou art the Christ; the Son of God which should come into the world." As a culmination of this inter view, they, when Mary and the oth ers had come, repaired to the tomb, and after Christ had said to the Father, "I know that thou hearest me always, but to the intent that they who stand by believe it, I thank you, he called in a loua voice, say ing, "Lazarus, come forth." And a3 Lazarus stepped forth from the tomb, he furnished another of many proofs that this was indeed the Christ, the son of the living God and the Savior of the world. Following the raising of Lazarus, came the supper in his honor. As they were seated at the table, Mary an- nointed the Master with the oint ment of Spiknard and Judas Iscariot objected saying, "Why was not this saved and given to the poor?" John savs of tne incident, tnat mis was not because Judas was sorry for the poor, but because he was a thief and carried the bag in which the money was put. Then came the triumphal entry of the Savior into Jerusalem, when the people strewed flowers and branches of trees in the way, sing ing "Hosannah in the highest, bless ed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord," thus again testifying that Jesus was the representative of ths most high God. On the very Sunday of this lesson is observed the anni versary of this event, known through out the Christian world as "Palm" Sunday. Then came the last supper in an upper chamber, followed by scenes in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Christ wrestled in prayer until the sweat as drops of blood fell to the ground, while his disciples slept. A little later came the betrayal, and Christ was led away to the city to be tried at a mock trial, and later crucified and buried in the tomb of Joseph. Three days later came the resurrection and after that forty days of visiting with the disciples and im parting unto them instructions be fore he ascended into Heaven, there to sit at the right hand of God the Father. His parting word to them was "Go ye into all the world and teach my gospel to every creature." ' Easter Novelties, Cards and Decorations!
