Thus the Resurrection of Jesus Christ may receive less public attention than an egg roll in the park or a new spring suit. In his Good Friday homily, Pope Paul VI called on men of thought, men of power, and men of labor to once again find and fatigue, in efforts in Christ and their meaning his sacrifice. The Crucifixion was the sacrifice Jhe Resurrection celebrated today complctes-th- e meaning the promise of redemption fulfilled. Millions of words have been written to describe the Easter miracle. But no author has improved upon the terse account provided by St. Luke, perhaps the most literate of the New Testament writers. Although some scholars dispute Lukes authorship, there is wide agreement that his following descrip St. Washington Post WASHINGTON Theyre having an election for mayor of Chicago on April 19, and the word Dont bother. is out: Michael Bilandic, the cautious, conservative bachelor lawyer who was chosen as interim successor to the late Richard J.

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came upon the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them And they found the stone rolled way from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold two men stood by them in shining garments. Anchor-Doubleda- And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen. . . In an age when so many of the men of and men of thought are Paul addressed Pope power, concerned with staving off nuclear devastation and lesser threats to human existence, there is special Easter reassurance in the ages-ol- d message of eternal life.

It wasnt the kind that previously caused community turmoil across the country as a means of creating racial balance in education. It could be called, however, an attempt to restore a measure of public equity. The buses were hauling, not students, but teachers. Teachers, that is, arrested during a picket line melee. For 18 days, members of the Kansas City Teachers Federation had been on strike. Thursday, 128 were arrested for blocking driveways, shouting obscenities, throwing eggs and generally making matters difficult for police.

But in Atlanta, Ga., earlier last week, orders were given to fire sanitation workers who wouldnt call off a strike. Then, in Kansas City, officials evidently didnt hesitate to move when striking teachers turned unruly. And as far as the teachers are concerned, its more than slightly possible that public sentiment, rather than resenting such busing, found it necessary, proper and deserved.
