along with the young people of

by encouraging- them in their
projects when it was possible.
In the devotional period, Mrs.
Royal stressed the part of the
Easter story when the stone was
rolled away from the tomb;"and
the joy it brought to the
disciples ' when all seemed
hopeless. Today ' we face many
problems and it's difficult to
find the . answer, but God still
rolls away the stone and shows
us the way as we come to Him in

fine Easter message. Some
people ass how can you prove
the---'Resu ection took ' place?
You can settle it by arguments
and Christianity is known by its
works. As the flowers spring
from the dark ground, we hear
the words of the risen Lord, who
brings help and comfort in times
of sorrow or sickness, and we
KNOW, he .lives, and is ready to
help in every time qf.r eedx . .
An interesting part of the
story of Judas casts a Tight on
today. .His mother would love
him, and if he had been allowed,
to do as he liked when younger,
would sometimes wonder if she
was to blame for not doing
something then, when money
became the only thing in life.
Permissiveness is not new
nowadays but it seems to lead to
the same kind of results, and
causes .the same heartaches. Our
workers overseas and at home
are . thankful to take the good
news to so many who need it,
"a-red`hope. that Easter will mean
more in the years to come.
