Ten torturing minutes of worry increased her nervousness 'until her body rebelled at inaction. What ever his motive, she was certain that Esteban had gone to Bodine’s ranch. With sudden resolve, she determined to follow him. A word to Teresa about Basilio and she was gone. It took her more than two hours to reach the Webster place. No one met her.as she rode up. She called about several times but got no ans wer. This, and the fact that she had trailed the buckboayd right to the ranch yard, only. increased her feeling of alarm. She sat down to wait. Again in action assailed her and she began walking up aud down the path led to the barns. Bit by bit increased the distance she was erin.g, in her excitement, until horse brought her to the doors of the old building. Her breath left her as as she caught sight of the .wagon Esteban had driven. A glance show ed her it was empty. Through an open door in the rear she saw her brother’s team in the corral. ' . .Mercedes scanned the ground be tween the barn and the corrals, try ing to read signs in the dry land. She came upon the fresh tail of three horses that led to the north. A quick glance at the sun told her it was after three'* o’clock. She hesi tated over riding direct to the pass that led to the north, unless the trail of the three horsemen took her there. There was always the ciiance that they might circle back.

She rode an ever enlarging semi-circle in the hope of picking up her trail. Half an hour's patient work rewarded her with clear-cut hoof-prints in the sand to the north. The horses that made them were going in that direction, too. Her tedious progress took from her the last bit of strength she pos sessed. But had she been able to double her pace, she would have hardly caught up with her brother. Neither he nor Bodine had stopped once in their wild1 ride from Webster Creek to peer back for possible pur suit. Romerq. had attended to that on his own initiative. But they had been nearly two hours ahead of Mercedes. With ease that surpris ed even Buck, they had cut through Acklin’s country ed. Esteban had cove below Coal his sister had turned into the east ern leg of their trail. His compan ions were right behind him. Bodine gave the orders from then on. With expert handling, he crumbl ed the dynamite and heated it. While he was getting the grease that he wanted, Romero and Esteban fash ioned the raft that was to carry their instrument of destruction. Buck was ready as soon as they were. Each .one of them had come in loaded down with material to1 supplement the iron and steel Buck had already cached fox* the bomb. Esteban wondered at the big; fel lows deftness as he watched him work. , He nailed an eight-foot cedar sap ling spar-fashion at the end of the raft, and on this he looped and wir ed his long, slow-burning fuse. “Pour the oil over the front of it now,’’ he commanded when he had finished. “Once this , fuse burns down to it, she blaze up- like a? house afire."

Cor. 15:3-20, 50-58; I. Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 22; 1-5, Gohlen Text Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. (Rev. 2:10.) The “future life1’ is not limited to life in Heaven only; there is a fu ture'life on this earth, and for this1 earth, and the first lesson selection refers to this. It tells of the . judg ment of nations on earth, at the re turn of the Lord from Heaven to this earth. The nations are separ ated by Christ the Judge, 'and are called “sheep" and “goats" accord ing to their treatment of those whom He calls “My Brethren." The lat ter term referred to our Lord’s breth ren after the flesh, the Jews. The miracle of resurrection does not en ter into this passage oi' event. But to those* in His day who said “there is no resurrection," the Lord Jesus declared that there is. He .proved it by a logical argument; the fact that, long after the physical death of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God told Moses that He was the God of those three patriarchs was God’s pledge of the resurrection, for “He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living.” Those three saints who had died must rise again from the dead, for God was still their God. The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, after His cru cifixion and burial, made the Gos pel. There would have been no Gos pel of salvation for lost men if Christ had simply lived as a man on earth and never died. There would have been no Gospel if He had lived1, and died, and had never taken His hu man body again. The Gospel “con sists of that fact that “Christ died for our sins according to the scrip tures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day ac cording to the scriptures." For there would have been no victory ovex- death if Christ had not been raised from the dead. “The wages of sin is death’’ (Rom. 6:2.3) and it is Satan that has the power of death (Heb. 2:14), Christ voluntarily sub mitted to that power when He be,- eame the sinner’s Substitute and bore the penalty of the sinner’s sins. If He had not been raised from the dead, sin and Satan would have won an eternal victory over Christ and1 God. Te resurrection of Christ, af ter the death penalty was paid, was God’s eternal victory over Satan. This consummated the Gospel. The victory over Satan was complete. It has been well said that the res urrection of Christ was God’s ‘Amen’ to Christ’s word on the cross, “It is finished." And so it was an empty tomb that the women and the disciples xfound when they came'expecting - to fin'd the body, of the Lord Jesus. The stone had been rolled1 away—not in order to let the risen Christ out, for sepulchres and closed doors could not block His way; but in order to let the disciples in . Resurrection does not mean, as some modern and unscriptural teachers and preachers would tell us, merely continued spiritual existence. The resurrection of Christ did not. occur until “the third day, but His spirit-existence continued uninter-*- ruptedly between the time of Hist death and His resurrection, Resur-* reetiop, refers to the uniting of ths body and the spirit, the bringing to life again of the body that has died* There is no such thing as resurrw* tion that is not bodily resurrection^, the Bible makes that plain. So it was not -a, ghost or a spirit! that the disciples saw in their risers Saviour and Lord. He declared thi-T to them in the words: “Behold My? hands and My feet, that it is I My* self. Handle Me and see, for a- spirit hath not flesh and bones, as. ye see Me have,*’ (Huke 24:30.) Resurrection for believers is in separably connected with the Second Coming of Christ. His return to this earth. That promised does not mean a spirit return coming of the Holy Spirit at cost, but the visible, bodily of the glorified Lord Jesus: same Jesus which is taking up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner.,.as ye have seen Him go into Heaven." (Acts 1:11.) Ho promised His: disciples that He was leaving them in order to “go to pre pare a place’’ for them. He contin ued: “And I go and prepare a. place for you*! will come again and receive you uhfo Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” It han been pointed x>ut that the “I will come again" is . fig certain as. “I go.” The manner of Christ’s, coming again to receive unto Himself those who believe in Him is described in L Thessalonians 4. He will receive both living and ..dead believers, and those who “are alive and remain un to the coming oh the lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep.” A wonderful picture fol lows, a picture ^hat is .going to be fulfilled to the letter,' It is called, the “rapture" or catching up of the, Church. As th§ <XiOrd Himself des cends from Heayep, the dead in. Christ shall ris$ first—that is, be fore living believers are taken. What a mighty army of the dead1 shall then instantly spring from their burial places throughout the entire earth —their bodies, that is—as their spirits' which have been with tho Lord in Heaven are reunited to their bodies. “Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up to gether with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord." Thin will be an Easter Day indeed. In I. Corinthians 15, God shows through the Apostle Paul that unless there is a bodily resurrection from th© dead there is no Gospel, no sal vation; the faith of all believers is vain and empty and hopeless, the apostles who testified to Christ’s res urrection are perjurers and those who have died trusting Christ are lost. “But—thank God—-now is the- Christ risen from the dead." The resurrection of believers at the return of the Loyd just precedes the millennium or His reign on earth for a thousand year. The future life beyond1 the millennium “after thia earth’s golden kingdom age is con summated to pictured in the last chapter of the Bible.', Even -during th millennium there will be sin, and night, and a final revolt against God by men'and Satan. But after that has been put down and “a new hea ven and a new ■ earth? have some, “there shall be no more curse:’. . and there shall be no’ night there, and they need no candle, neither light of the sun, for the Lord God givetli them light?’ • to pull at this I man growled. ■ » to your friends *• ” He point- ain’t no time ill’ arks." .“I-ain’t got no objection to that," he cried.- “Get feih out! ‘It won’t take three of us to push this raft' off.
