"The Future Life"
Luke 24:1-12; John 14:1-6.
This all-abscrbing topic sets more
nen thinking than any other. The
question, "Is there a life aftej Jhis?
' cannot be dismissed by ignorln&liU
because the evidences are so numer
ous and so pronounced that they force
themselves upon men's consciousness
and must be properly weighed and
analyzed; and according to the find
ings, men's conduct must be govern
ed. "Where will I spend eternity?"
becomes a most vital question, and
the earnest, sincere seeker after truth
will seek until he finds a satisfactory
answer. Our belief of a future life
i3 based first of all on" the immortal
ity of the soul. All through the Scrip
ture, man i3 pictured a3 a rational,
moral agent, with reason and dis
cernment; hence accountable for his
acts. And since not all inequalities
are straightened out and settled satis
factorily in this life, there must fol
low a day of final judgment, of
reckoning. In the cecond place, it is
the justice of God which demands a
final Lallancing of accounts.
The teaching of our blessed relig
ion about the future life is brought
cut in cur lesson. The authenticated
resurrection of the Lord Jesus is the
pillar and cornerstone of this great
doctrine. The proof of a future life
stands or falls with Jesus Christ. In
this day when so many are not only
denying the fact of the bodily resur
rection of Christ, but are stating,
even from the pulpit and in theologi
cal text-books and Christian litera
ture, that it docs not make much dif
ference after all whether Christ did
rise frora the dead, or if we really
believe that he is living in glory to
day, one should notice what Paul
Lays we must abandon if Christ did
Hot bodily rise from the dead: First,
our preaching is empty; Second, our
faith ii empty, i. e., it is of no value;
Third, we are found false witnesses
of God; Fourth, redemption has fail
ed and we are yet in our sins; Fifth,
hope has collapsed and those who are
asleep in Christ are perished, i. e., are
eternally lost.
The importance cf the resurrection
of Jesus Christ may be realied when
it is learned that this tremendous
fact is mentioned directly one hun
dred and four times iu the two hun
dred and sixty chapters In the New
Testament. What happened to the
body of Jesus? That it had disappear
ed, all, even the most prejudiced crit
ics of the record, admit. The Jews
who killed him would not remove the
body. The friends of Jesus would not
do so, .and deceive the people the
soldiers were there to prevent that.
The soldiers did not remove it; they
had no interest in the removal. Jesus
PLATTSMOUTH, NEBEASKA
Neb., as second-class mail matter
TRAIN WITH WAR MOVIES
Addis Abada, Ethiopia. World
war films depicting the French , de
fense of Fort Verdun were adopted
as a medium of Instruction for
Ethiopian officers being trained by a
Belgian military mission.
Chiefs of Emperor Selassie depart
ed for their provinces after having
been warned by him to "be prepared
for any eventuality." Altho it was
officially denied Ethiopian forces are
being mobilized, it was known troops
are quietly assembling on the fron
tier and Thursday more fighting
forces departed, apparently bound
for the border.
TWO DIE OF POISONING
Peoria, 111. A mysterious poison
took its second victim when Miss Al
berta Swanson, 29, died in a hos
pital. Her mother, Mrs. Lena Swan
son, 51, died Monday. An inquest
into the mother's death failed to es
tablish what caused the fatal illness.
Testimony was that the mother and
daughter had eaten boiled rhubarb
tops, but medical testimony classified
the fatal poison in Mrs. Swanson's
case as cf a mineral nature, not trace
able, the doctors said, to the vege
table itself. A son, Laverne, who ate
sparingly of the same meal, became
ill too.
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Mnrdock. Neb.
could not walk out of the tomb, had
he been only in a swoon, as some be
lieve, for the soldiers would have pre
vented that. But heaven proclaims:
r 'He i3 risen ! ?. vj
- The virgin birth and the resurrec
tion were announced by angels. This
fact being established, now Jesus tells
U3 something about heaven, our fu
ture home. Many are the reasons that
trouble man's heart, but Jesus allays
the fears, by telling the disciples that
"Belief in God" and in His Son ought
to quiet any fears; their future is
secure the Father's house ha3 room
for all. The "mansion" on yonder
shore is to be our eternal abiding
place here we are but sojourners
there is our home.
"O Dculah Land, sweet Beulah
Land,
As on thy highest mount I
stand;
I look away across the sea,
Where mansions are prepared
for me,
And view the shining, glorious
shore
My heaven, my home forevcr
morc." Jcsu3 has gone ahead and is now
awaiting our coming after him. Many
times he said: "Follow me!" The
age old question: "If a man die, shall
he live again?" is answered by the
return to life cf dormant nature. God
ha3 said so. "The first man, Adam,
was made a living soul; the last
Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Howbeit that was not first which i3
spiritual, but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiri
tual." This is a plain statement and
needs no explanation. Job had caught
the vision in his day, exclaiming with
a shout of triumph: "For I know that
my Redeemer liveth and that he shall
stand at the latter day upon the
earth; and though after my skin
worms destroy this body, yet in my
flesh shall I sec God." (Job 19:25.
26). The same confidential note rings
out in these words: "For this cor
ruptible must put on incorruption,
and this mortal must put on immor
tality," "(I Cor. IS: 53) and: "If we
believe that Jesus died and rose again,
even so them al3o which 'sleep in
Jcsu3' will God bring again." "And
I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God." Yes, "Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth. Yea, saith the spirit, that
they may rest from their labors and
their works do" follow them." (Rev.
14:13). "Comfort one another with
these words." (I Thes. 4:18).
" .know my mansion He
prepareth,
That where He is, there I
may be;
O wondrous thought, for
nc He careth,
A I'd He ct last ivi!l come
for me."
Residential
Building Shows
Marked Gain
Report for First Thirteen Weeks of:
the Year Shows a Very Definite
Gain Over the Country.
Residential building for the first
13 weeks of 1935 shows definite im
provement over the same period both
in 1933 and 1934, but is below the
level of 1932, according to an article i
in the April issue of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Review, just pub
lished. A comparison of the monthly totals
of home construction for the first
three months of 1935 reveals a re
sumption in March of the acceler
ation show in January and inter
rupted in February. Figures for
March show' that the average daily
volume of residential building con
tracts awarded was more than 71
percent above the daily average in
February, which is far greater than
the normal seasonal increase and rep
resents an increase of 19 percent over
March 1934.
Residential building volume up to
March 30 of this year is more than
23 percent above the same period in
1934. Activity in non-residential con
struction, due to the falling off in
new governmental contracts, remain
ed about 44 percent below the total
for the first three months of 1934.
A chart accompanyin gthe article
shows that whereas industrial pro
duction had by February 28 reached
a level only 8 percent below the 1923
1925 figure, construction remained
76 percent below that average. For
over a year the cost of building ma
terials and labor has been practi
cally unchanged, while housing ren
tals have move steadily higher, di
minishing the spread between those
two factors and providing an incen
tive for increased residential con
struction. As contrasted with build
ing costs, all commodities during
March continued the advance which
began in February 1933.
With this issue, the Review, for
the benefit of home-financing insti
tutions, begins publication of current
figures on the number and value of
one-family, two-family and combin
ation home-ancVbusincss structures
for which building permits have been
issued. The information i3 compiled
by the Federal Home 'Lotin Bank
Board from "data ) collected by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. The value
of one arid two-family home construc
tion in February showed an Increase
of 9 percent as compared with Jan
uary 1935, and was about 72 per
cent greater than in February 1934.
Figures assembled by " the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board disclose a
continued trend since 1930 toward
construction of one and two-family
dwellings, in contrast with the large
volume of apartment construction
from 1926 to 1929. This reversal
may be in part a reflection of the
greater volume of mortgage credit
available to owners of small homes,
through building and loan associa
tions and similar institutions, and
the relative difficulty of financing!
large apartments projects in recent
years through the traditional invest
ment banking channels.
FELLED BY HOODLUM'S GUN
. Chicago. A hoodlum's gun, rem
iniscent of gang war days, barked
on the fringe of the downtown "loop"
and Sanford (Gimpy) Rosenbaum,

Double-parking his sedan for a
quick get-away on Wells St., western
rim of the loop, the gunman stroll
ed acroFr. the street and accosted
Rosenbaum. They chatted a moment,
then the stranger pulled his revolver
and fired three times. Bullets ripped
thru Rosenbaum s right arm, left
shoulder and chin. He slumped
against a steel pillar of the elevated
railway. The gunner jumped into his
car' and sped off.
Physicians said Rosenbaum prob
ably would recover. . Detectives, be
lieving he knew his assailant, tried
to question him at the hospital but
he refused to talk.

Of all the seasons of the year, the
Eastertide is perhaps the most hope
ful. This year wc have more than
ever to be thankful for as we con
sider the encouraging prospects for
the future. Everywhere we see the
bursting buds and the peeping flow
ers and our hearts thrill to the an
nual resurrection of nature, as our
minds turn to that other resurrec
tion morning so long ago.
Sunday school at 10:00 a. m. Ev
erything depends on what we do this
week as to who wins our contest. A
week ago last Sunday we made 29
points and they made 67 points. Last
week we made 101 points and they
made 111 points. What will tho re
sult be this time? Everything de
pends on our Easter attendance. We
still have a slight lead, but we can
not 6tand another defeat. If you do
your part we can wini. Remember to
come on time so that we can get the
extra points for attendance on time.

Easter devotional services on this
our Lord's resurrection day. Mr. and

8:00. It is fitting at this time
that we celebrate the Lord's Supper
in a communion service. Mr. Chad
wicke will be the guest minister and
will deliver the message of the even
ing. This service is for the re-consecration
and re-dedication of Christ's
followers.
