Stephen Paulson In Grll And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had brought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint Him. . . . Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crjicifled: He is risen; He is not here: Behold the place where they laid Him. Mark 16:1. 6. HE Sabbath came and went over the grave of Its Lord. Silence reigned In Josephs garden, broken only by the mailed sentinels who chatted and laughed by the We do not know sealed sepulcher. what the disciples did on the Sabbath day. Probably they spent the day in close retirement in some upper room. Their thoughts were nailed to that Cross on Calvary, and their spirits were under the heav pall of that tragedy of Good Friday. We can never understand the utter misery and desolation of those hours between Christs death and His Resurrection. Our faith rests on the centuries; and when we read of the Crucifixion we have In mind the glory of Easter morning. But to the disciples, all their hopes had been shattered, all their plans frustrated, and all their love buried In Josephs tomb. A resurrection did not enter Into their thoughts at all, and therefore their testimony is the more valuable. True, they had heard Jesus say that He would rise again, but they had interpreted that in a sort of future and symbolic sense. Before dawn, the women mentioned in our text, perhaps with some others, started for the sepulcher bearing their spices and ointments with which they expected to finish the embalming of the blessed body of their Lord., A resurrection had no place In their thoughts. They came to minister to the dead, not to greet the living. Their one great concern was: Who would help them to roll away the stone which sealed the tomb, and which was too great for their united strength? As they draw near they see that the stone is 1 illed away, and so little did they think of a resurrection, that the open tomb brought them only perplexity and grief. The Gospels were not written for the curious, but for the devout. They are most silent therefore, where myth and legend would be most garrulous. Here we are told nothing of the wondrous ' well-know- Codfish Chowder. pound of salt pork, cut in very small dice and brown in the chowder kettle until a rich brown, add three onions sliced, stir until dozen medisoftened, then add um-sized potatoes cut in slices.

Every one of us who owns a little plot, of holy ground, consecrated to us by what we could see through tears of an open grave, of falling clods of earth going to earth, can sympathize with them. We know what the blackness of that darkness Is, from whence there comes no response to our cry. The message Christ is risen! came on Jie first day of the week, with the risen Savior Himself as its proof. Sorrow fled, the blackness of the grave was changed Into brightness of joy unspeakable; Christ is risen! I The grave had not imprisoned Him Death had not conquered Hlml His own pierced body was there again, endued with thrilling life once more. Ask His mother. She knows her Son. In the ecstasy of love, too full of Joy even to wonder, hear her answer "He is risen, indeed! Ay, Christ is risen! And the grave has not hurt Him. Nay, He is the more glorious for it! His body is now superior to time and space, or to any of their laws; just as the Easter lily is superior to the bulb you hid in the ground ; or, as the waving com field Is better than the bare grain in the sack. And the loved ones, even the little ones we laid with such sorrow in the grave, they, too, will rise in like manner, all the better; ay, ever so much better for the death which makes the resurrection possible ! Just as we, too, taken apart, bit by bit, by the tender alchemy of the grave, as the watch maker takes apart a watch, shall be put together again, purified, glorified to go on forever, and forevermore. 1 WEEKLY MENU SUGGESTIONS i n flrst-friu- Western Newspaper Union.)

Or was He attended by the heirarchy We are told only what of heaven? concerns mankind, viz., the sufficient manifestation of Jesus to His people ' His Resurrection. We can reconstruct something of the events of that first Easter morning from the Gospel accounts. First the women come and find the tomb empty. Mary Magdalene Immediately runs back to the city and tells Peter and John about it. They rush out to the garden of Joseph, John, the younger man, taking the lead. The women have left. Peter enters the tomb and sees the linen clothes which had covered ' the body of Jesus, and there begins to dawn upon them something of the meaning of the words of Jesus, On the third day I shall rise again. Mary comes back and Peter and John have gone, and no one is there to explain what has taken place; so she stands by the sepulcher and pours out her distress in tears. N w comes the first revelation of the risen Christ. Mary, He says,ten-in voice of love and the a moment all her sorin and der ss, row is turned into joy. It is always so when the risen Christ comes into a life. The living Christ is the worlds Without Him, our great can only be thoughts of thoughts we enter into the Him With death. conception of the larger life, of which this is only the outer court. Death I They seem to be the Life of thought. We have antipodes very come to look upon them as mutually exclusive, but Jesus has taught us that out of life death is to arise. The Resurrection of Jesus Is the anchor of our Christian faith. We live in a day when men seek positive grounds of thought and action, and the enduring power of the Resurrection is not a sentiment but a fact. A sentiment has its day. The Easter Gospel is the Gospel of all comfort If Christ be not risen then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." So says St. Paul, and then comes his triumphal shout of certainty: But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the of them that slept That Is the of Gospel of comfort which this world sorrow and death needs so much. That is the glad and glorious Gospel of Easter Day. Today we seek, not a dead Christ, but a living one, and then, to see the may It soon be our bliss Risen Savior face to face, as did Mary on that very first Easter morning. 1 Hep h-h-- 1924, 1 Hlmag of CABINET uf ta3trr Sag m tw Att Eafitrr KITCHEN (Sluruma (Bnsprl I lf re-ec- 1 .
