I thought the University stu
dents were so sophisticated but
you would not think so if you had
seen a certain Nebraska U. girl
that lives on North 22nd running
down the street calling after a
middleaged man to find out who
the fine man he was talking to
was. We know her man is in
Omaha. (O.K., kid, we know it
was a dare.)

Resurrection Assurance
The people of the world are
crying for assuarnce. They are
tired of promises, no matter how
sincerely given or how loudly pro
claimed. A promise is no guaran
tee of fulfillment. The people of
Germany, of Italy, and of Japan
were given promises around which
was placed a halo of Utopian liv
ing, and it is the extravagance of
these promises which has made
the more tragic the disillusion
ment of the peoples of these na
tions.
The world has had its recurring
cycles of unfulfilled promises.
And you and I, as individuals,
have had this same experience,
and our disillusionment has been
bitter and our disappointment and
discouragement has often been
heartbreaking.
Yet, though promises are not a
guarantee of assurance, they may
be the groundwork of assurance if
given by the right person.
In the New Testament we read
that Jesus made a promise to His
disciples. He also proclaimed it to
the people of Jerusalem, saying
| that on the third day He would

The City Federation of Women’* club*
met at the home of Mrs. L. A. Booker
on March 8. at 7:30 p. m. with it’s
president, Mrs. C. E. Moore presiding.
After opening the meeting with prayer
and the club song, guest speaker of the
evening. Mrs. M. L. Bennett of Fort
Worth (State President of Federated
Women's Clubs) was presented to lecture
on the theme, 'Building Today, for To
morrow."
Many worthwhile remarks were made
by the speaker. She stressed the need
of more and greater club work in com
munities. for the benefit of youth as
well as adults.
A project undertaken by the Isabell
Smith District of Federated Women’s
Clubs has well carried out the above
theme: A five room girl's home modemly
equipped, sanitary, and comfortable has
been paid for. Mrs. Bennett showed the
club members of the club a framed pic
ture of this lovely home, which is lo
cated on highway 183 between Dallas and
Fort Worth.
The J. M. Jackson Culture and Study
Club was hostess on this occasion and
served a delicious menu.
arise again, ^nd thus it was that j
the little band of His close fol- !
lowers were found in an upper j
room discussing the fact that
Simon Peter declared that he had j
seen the Lord. In the midst of •
their discussion there.burst into J
the room the two disciples who
had met the Master on the road
to Emmaus. Then there appeared
before them the Lord Himself,
calming their doubts and appre
hension with the words, “Why are

the sorrowing, confound the rulers and
perform many other miracles. t
It was thus that the R.aen Lord bade
them look at Him and be assured.
Today, too. there is but one answer to
the anxieties the fears and the weaknesses
of the world.
Jesus gives us the answer to our per
plexities and problems when He says. “It
is I,"
It is 1 who. through the centuries, have
proved Myself the Friend of the poor, the
Defender "of the weak, the Stabiliser of
the vacillating, the Savior of the lost.
It is I who said. "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.” It is I who con
stantly preached the Gospel of sharing
time, Interest and material benefits with
others.
Again, in our search for assur
ance we can hear Jesus say: "It is
I who am the embodiment of the
principle of fair play.” “And as
ye would that men should do to
you, do ye also to them.”

By Rev. R. E. Handy.
Subject: “Eternal Life” (Eas
ter).
Scripture Text: Col. 3:1-4, 12
17; 1 John 5:11,12. *
Golden Text: “And this is the
life eternal, that they might know
Thee, the only true God. and
Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast
sent.” (John 17:3).
—Application for Today—
On this Easter Sunday morning,
bells will ring from church
steeples around the world. Be
lievers everywhere will congre
gate in open-air places to catch
the first rays of the sun and wor
ship God with* anthems and ser
mons. The only theme will be
"Eternal Life” and a hope of
resurrection from the dead.
What is "Eternal Life?” Eter
nal life is endless life, and our
Bible teaches us that it can only
be had by having fellowship with
God. "And this is life eternal,
that they might know Thee, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom Thou hast sent.”
Life is prized by men above all
other things. From many scrip
tures we are taught that it is
possible to have life that never
ends and that is eternally blessed
with health, vigor and happiness.
This is eternal life; to be ac
quainted with God. Now ac
quaintance can be cultivated. It
can be increased. This fellowship
will prove to he the most delight
ful experience man can have on
earth. We, with our sinful na
tures, could not approach God.
We could not approach God with
out the atoning death of Jesus
Christ. H£ consented to suffer
the death that by right we should
die. God pardons our transgres
sions for His son s sake and grants
us eternal life.
This is a free gift from God be
cause we believe Jesus was His
son, that He died and rose again,
and “Because He lives, we too
shall live.”
So this glad day, ring the bells,
sing the praises and spread abroad
the good news.
