Val kry White, all of Los Angeles, also Bible School Sunday, March 28th "John's Recollections of the Risen Lord'' John 2o:l!t-2!t"; 21:20-2 4. Thj u;tain went down on April 7 A. 11. on the greatest drama the v--r!d t-ver witnessed; it ended in a tva-u-cly. There was consternation anion;: his followers. "We trusted that it had been he which sfc&'iild ledeem Israel." (Luke 24:21). All 3u ;,e is pone. A deep gloom had set tled on the disciples. Forgotten all the promises of Jesus' resurrection: no: so his murderers! They were very uneasy, and to prevent any de ception by the disciples, they came to Pilate saying, "We remember that this d.veiver said . . . after three cays I will arise.' (Matt. 27:C3). Well, John had not forgotten, but 1 -isy in making Mother Mary com 1 .irtable, the intervale passed quick ly there is another curtain rise Apili '.' , before sunrise, thf-ro is an c.rthqup.ke. (Matt. 27:2 I. An ang-.d mils th" stone from the srpul. hre the Eim rise's the guards had fled and made their report. (Matt. 28:11. Mary Ma.sdalcno is the first to se? the risen Lord.

John "lookerl in;" Peter "went into the scpulcher ; " then John went in "and believed." It is significant that all of the Ciospels are silent as to when Christ actually came forth from the tomb. No one saw him rising from the; ciead. The empty tomb bar; never been questioned by either friend or foe. That it wj-.s the same tomb in which the body of Christ was placed, was never questioned, because there was only one tomb" in the garden as far as known. We pass up the story cf the soldier guard. John recorded some appearances cf Jesus that are very precious to us, he being a witness to them. On the evening of the first resurrection day, Jesus met with ten of his disci ples; having been seen by Mary lUagdalene, Peter and two on the vvay to Emnians. What joy 'there rvas in the upper room is indisrrib lible; "then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord." (John 20:20). Was it the same body that was buried? Will we arise with the pame body that we had here? Yes the same. The nailprints are there, (the open wound In the side, but glorified and spiritualized. So we Ehall know each other. 35 a son. Robert White, of New York City. Two sisters, Mrs. Kate Minor of Los Angeles and Mrs. E. T. Dutch er of Warrensburg. Mo., and two brothers. Charles Vallery of St. Joe, Mo., and Louis Vallery of Los An geles, also survive. Among the relatives in this com munity who mourn the death are two sisters-in-law, Mrs. V. V. Leonard !and Mrs. Walter White, and two brothers-in-law. Dr. T. I. Livingston and W. J. Streight. Services and burial were held in Los Angeles. HAVE A SPIRITED DEBATE From Tuesday's l'aily The Rotarians at their luncheon today had a very interesting and up to the minute subject to command their attention, the question "Should the Game of ttridge Be Abolished?" Superintendent L. S. Devoe took the side of the champions of the game of bridge and extolled its bene fits and the interest that it created, while Mr.. Ilea brought forth the arguments against the game. The de bate was one that kept the members in an uproar of laughter as the speakers scored the points tcr their respective arguments. The debate was one that followed the recent article in the Rotarian on bridge, both from the pro and con ride of the case. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. Thomas missed the first meeting, hut he was there the next time. His doubts are dispelled. lie makes a greater confession than any of the other disciples. Thomas did not need the scientific procedure, i. e. testing the resurrection by the senses of sight and touch. He believed at once. The greatest doubter, attains to the fullest and firmest belief; his It lief is a momentous doctrine -the divinity of Christ. Faith is the op posite of sight, because it asserts what is not seen. Faith now conies by hearing. (Rom. lu:17). Millions today have not seen the Lord Jesus, yet believing in him, they rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and lull of glory. (I Pet. 1:S). At the first appearance to the ten. ! Je-'us breathed on them and said: "Receive ye the Holy Spirit." This is. of rour.se, a prophetic breathing, symbolic and suggestive. Thcyjlid not receive the Holy Spirit then. In the course cf these days, he told them to wait until they received the Spirit. (Acts 1:4). A question of much controversy is hero injected, about men forgiving sins. May we state here that this porrigrative belongs to (tod only. (See Isa. i:J: 2.i; Dan. !:!; Mark 2:7). Sin is the transgressor of the 'aw. ( I John " : 1 . Sins against the law of Cod. Ale alone- can torgive. When Jesus says. "Whose e ever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven i.:ito them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are re tained," (20:2:!) this scripture should be coupled with Matt. 1G:1!, 'vhere the office of the Keys is re ferred to. This office Peter shared with all the apostles, but he opened the Kingdom to the Jews on Pcn'e ccot at Jerusalem, and to the Gcn lilcs, at Casarea. Here we adopt the interpretation of Dummelow on Lible Commentary, p. GX2, which says: "The power of the Keys is (1) the power to govern the church; (2) the power to exercise discipline in it; (3) the power to decide who shall be admitted into it and on what conditions (subject, of course, tc the law of Christ). The best New Testament parralel is Rev. 3:7. The breakfast by the Sea of Gallilee is a specially beauti ful scene. Seven disciples with Jesus at the table, and the full res'toration of Peter into Apostelship. His ardent confession of his love to Christ is equal to his vehement denial. "He restoreth my soul" is his song. That all the foregoing is an abso lute true etory, because the witness v ho wrote it Bays it's true, is John the "brlovcth;" he was there and lived long while after and saw the outcome of it all.
