For our lesson this Easter Sunday we .turn aside from the studies in Mark'6 Gospel, to devote ourselves to the great theme of the resurrection as treated by Paul. This letter to the Corinthians was written only twenty-five years after the resurrection. Paul had founded this church in a campaign that lasted 18 months, about 50 A. D. Some years later, Paul learns of parties forming in the church; called by their leaders, tVy had adopted a party of Paul, a party of Apollcs, a party of Cephas, and a party of Christ. This schism caused Paul much pain and anxiety. Some Corinthians disbelieved in the resur rection of the dead not apparently in Christ's resurrection, though St. Paul felt this would soon follow, but in their own future resurrection. This is the cause of this grand chepter. Unity and purity ar9 the keynote of the epistle. I The Royal Roll of "Watnesses: First reminding them of some of the teachings on which he had laid spec ial emphasis during his stay with them; the whole first chapter of this epistle proves that in his preaching and teaching, the redemptive work of Jesus was the burden of all he taught them; that God made Christ for us "wisdom, and righteousness and sanc tificaticn and redemption," Chap. 1: 20. A good foundation for their faith, b.ut they were sl-ppin. By faith in this doctrine they were saved, as also men are today. Paul admonishes them to "hold fast the word which I have rreached to you." This "word" had wrcug-ht a great transformation in their lives. The "word" was that Christ had died for our sins, accord ing to the ccriptures. Christianity is a system of religion, it is a revela tion of God, it is a body of ethical teaching, but first of all its is a rec ord of deeply significant historical facts. It is a story of something that took place in the world. Jesus lived and died, and was buried, but was raised from the dead on the third day. To all this there are witnesses of veracity and truthfulness, we may name them as Jesus appeared to them in the following order: (a) Mary Magdalene. John 20:1; (b) other women. Matt. 28:9; (c) Peter, Luke 24:34; (d) two disciples, Luke 24:13-35; (e) ten disciples Sunday night, John 20:19; (f) eight days later, Thomas present, John 20:24 C; (g) at the appointed meeting in Galilee 500 present. Matt. 28:16 17; (h) by the sea of Galilee, .seven being present, John 21:1, 2; (i) James, I Cor. 15:7; (1) Assention, Acts 1:9. 16; (k) Paul, I -Cor. 15:8 "When Paul wrote this epistle. many cf these witnesses were still alive and could be consulted.

Keitzel, Murdock, Neb. witnesses have never been doubted. They could have no motive to tell a falsehood, because most of them did suffer martyrdom, for their faith In the risen Christ. (Bible students will please look up the scriptures referred to above). "With all the evidence of the bod ily resurrection of Christ, it is far more difficult to doubt it than to be lieve it. (The teacher may call some of these witnesses and have them testify). II The fruits of Christ's resurrec tion: The whole system of Christian ity rests upon this fact. If the Chris tian's hope Is only for this life, he is cf all men most miserable; all self- denial, scorn, persecution endured for naught. But now Christ is risen; our hepe has a foundation that can not be shaken ; Jesus told his dis ciples, "I go to prepare a place for you ... I will come again and re ceive you unto myself." Millions have entered that place, and are now with the Lord. Christ has blazed the way, it is easy to follow him. God has perfect order in his kingdom, as is seen in v. 23, 24. Through Adam's fall, sin and death came into the world. Through Jesus, salvation and eternal life has been wrought; he is the second Adam, and only as we in herit from him do we receive into our lives the principle of immortal ity. Herein lies the vital Importance of Christ's resurrection to us. It is the iivine seal of all his work. In it the prophet is vindicated, the priest ex alted, the king glorified. The empty tomb proclaims, Jesus lives! He is the world's only risen, reigning king. His resurrection is established on the testimony of most competent witness es. The results of Christian civili sation attest it. The transformation if men's lives testify to the power of it. The institution of the Lord's lay is a clear proof of it. The empty tomb of Jesus proclaims Jesus is conqueror! The world's most decisive battle and victory were fought and won at Calvary and the garden tomb. He is not a dead Christ. A triumphant strain we find in B. B. McKinney's immortal hymn: "He rose from death and all Its sorrow. To dwell in that land cf joy and love; He is coming back some glad tomorrow; And He'll take all His child ren home above. He lives on high; He lives on high Triumphant over sin and all its stain! He lives on high; He lives on, high.! Some day He's coming again." a very convenient addition to this garage and work shop, and is so lo cated it can be driven onto from Main street, instead of having to drive into the building. One thing Is certain, Gus Splitt has a lot of friends, for on last Sunday the following named persons from this vicinity drove to Omaha to visit with him at the hospital, and found him getting along very nicely: John Hobscheidt and son, John, Jr., George Ray, Arthur T.

Dallas Toung was working for a few days at Union on the bridges over the "Weeping "Water, but with the completion of this work has not been able to find anything else.
