Is forever encountering And If the "growing"

The hand of Time Is dealing tenderly with my

not only for posterity that a garden need be
created. Where Naturo has given ot her best

Acts SM.
St. Paul may not tnal.o direct ro
forencu to tho vligln birth of out
Lord, though he certainly know of the
prophecy that a "Virgin shall con
colve," (Isa. 7-11), but what doua II
matter? It Is not greater mliacle tc
bo born than to tl&u triumphant over
denth. That Paul ussumes the fact
is evident from this lesson. Literally
ho begins by saying, "Now I nittko
known the gospel which I pleached
unto you nt Corinth, whereby you nro
saved and what you must always re
member, that Christ, who came fill
flllltiK all that was ptomlsed In the
Scripture, died for our sins and roso
ngaln." Paul goes on to toll ex
plicitly of many who had seen Jesus
nfter tho resurrection nnd, most Im
portant of nil, how he, himself, had
Keen tho Christ.
"Last of till ho was seen of mo
also. Though 1 am least of all the
saints in that I persecuted the church,
yet I nm what I am, nnd his grace was
not bestowed upon mo in vain." Paul
was not such a "bad mnn" from tho
accepted moral standards of his time,
yet ho felt thu truth of what Christ
Bald, viz., that the essence of sin is
that "they believe not on inc."
The fact of tho resurrection of Je
sus Christ is tho best proven fact of
history. In tho first place thu dis
ciples themselves did not expect Jo
bus to die (John 12:34), hence, of
course, they never even thought of
tho resurrection (Mark 0:10). In the
third place, when on that Kaster morn
Mnry reported tho empty tomb and of
linvlaK seen tho Lord, tho npostles
thought it "idle talk" (Luko 21:11).
When tho women reported having nc
tually seen him, the men, nnd how
many men llko to tako instruction
from a woman-, wore unconvinced
and rather doubted those who had
conversed with him on tho road to
Emmaus.
Again, when seen by tho ten, Thom
as would not accept tho report till
ho hnd peen his hands and his feet.
Arguments Based on Unbelief.
All arguments to convince us that
Jesus did not rise aro based upon un
belief nnd tho answer of countless
millions throughout nearly twenty
centuries has boon tho words of Paui
(vorFO 20) but "Now Is Christ risen
from the dead." To deny Is to bo los5t
iu tho fog, our preaching vain, nnd
wo havo no ground of faith. Seo
versos 12-14. To accept is to place n.
firm foundation underneath our
whole Christian scheme, to sot tho
seal of authority and purity upon tho
llfo of him whom all men, Jew and
Gentile alike, say was good, and opens
n vista of hope for till who tile In tho
Lord.
Paul goes on to show that tho res
urrection of Jesus is tho beginning of
a plan whereby all tho human raco
who aro related to Christ bhall like
wise bo reBurrectod. Even as through
tho transgression of ono man sin
camo upon tho whole human raco, In
llko manner by tho perfect llfo of
obedience upon the part of ono man
wo may all bo mado alive.
Paul makes a strong contrast bo
tween tho death of tho believer nnd
that of tho non-believer. "If I fight
with beaats at Ephesua whnt advan
tago does that have? Lot us eat and
drink, for tomorrow wo die." Not so,
however, with tho Christian, hence he
exhorts tho Christians to bo awako
to righteousness and to sin not.
Only Friends Saw Him.
For tho younger classes this story
of tho first Easter Is a moat fascinat
ing one, dramatic, tender, Inspiring.
For tho older pupils we may well dis
cuss, How Easter would bo observ
ed. Havo we fully realized that we
nro "risen with Christ?" Romcmbor
ho showed himself only to his friends,
not to Pilato nor to tho Sanhedrim.
Aro you his friend? Havo you seen
tho risen Lord? A description of
"Holy Flro" of tho Greek Christians
who gathered each with his taper In
tho church at Jerusalem on Easter
Sabbath, and how each passes tho flro
on to another or carries It sacredly
back to his homo church, would bo
appropriate in order to iliustrato tho
fact that each ono of us must ap
propriate Christ in his resurrection
power, nnd having appropriated his
llfo wo nro In duty bound to pass on
this knowledge to others. Paul show
ed his gratltudo by "laboring more
abundantly."
It might bo well for us to draw at
tention to tho fact that tho commun
ion servlco "shows forth his death till
he como again," and baptism is sym
bolic of his death and resurrection
(Rom. 8:4), wherein wo nro to walk
In newness of llfo, and that at his
coming again all enemies shall bo
subject to the Christ. That theso are
great truths we all know, yet "oven
tho least" may havo a part in tolling
the glorious Easter story and that wo
need not dwell at the cross but pass
on and behold an empty tomb and
worship a riHcn Christ who ever llv
