Show The Risen Christ's Easter Message Jerusalem. On this Eaater morn from Heth-any's Heth-any's study overlooking the Capital city of our nation I would call upon all tbe followers of the Christ to obey him and enter Into the Master's work of winning tbe world for their Lord. As be commanded, so I would urge that you obey his call to evangelize the world with the gospel, enlist disciples for his service and educate all believers to be obedient to whatsoever whatso-ever our Ixird has commanded. Tbe Christian conquests of the centuries, tbe marvelous missionary mis-sionary awakening of Christendom preparing to conquer the world for tbe glory of Christ by the consecration of men and means and by the co-operailon of the Christian forces under the leadership of the Holy Spirit Is one of the many modern testimonies of the power of the risen Lord that Is leading tbe hosts of God on to complete the triumph of Christ when he revealed re-vealed on resurrection morn his power over life and death. Tbe religion of Jesus contains the only hope for the world. His Is tbe only religion that meets the needs of all men. He Is the only founder of a religion that has risen from tbe dead and offers everlasting life to all.
