"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

the Eim rise's the guards had fled
and made their report. (Matt. 28:11.
Mary Ma.sdalcno is the first to se?

were locked. Peter and John exam
ined the tomb closely (See John 20:
-S. 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.

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.
