An Easier Message . . . The leader of the worlds three and a half million Mormons today testified of the reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and called upon the people of the world to take hope and assurance from that fact. In his annual Easter message, President Spencer W. Kimball of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y the resurrection of the Savior, and the Saints said pending resurrection of all of us who will ever live upon the earth, is not a myth, and it isnt something that someone has arranged for us, to pacify us. It is a reality, and I say with Job of old, 1 know that my redeemer lives. The Church leader, who observes his 80th birthday Easter is the hope of the anniversary March 28, said world. It stirs within us hope, assurance and security, a feeling that all is not vain, that all is not temporary, that we live on permanently and fully and totally with limitless possibilities and opportunities. I have seen people go to the grave of a friend or family member and say Goodbye Jack . . .forever! But I Until have seen more people say at the graveside, we meet again! Well be coming to join you later. Well go through the same experiences you are now going through, but well all be united in eternity. President Kimball, who is the twelfth world leader of the Mormons since the Church was organized 145 years ago in western New York, said that not only is the resurrection a reality, it gives us a definite promise that we will be whole and well and strong in the eternity. The scriptures say that not a hair of our head shall be lost, and so in the reconstruction of the body it will be perfect. And it is my feeling that those v.ho are old and who have lived to great age and have wrinkles and creaking joints and other afflictions, will have those things cleared up for them. We will all be resurrected as of our best. Again, I testify to all the world that even though the Lord, Jesus Christ, died on the cross nearly two thousand years ago, yet he lives. For his resurrection after three days in the sepulchre is a reality. During the past two thousand years and continuing today he has remained the light of the world and is interested in the progress and development of each of us here on earth.
