Cross", with organ accompaniment.
The choir anthem, "Hodie"
(Today), was accompanied by Mrs.
Procter at the piano.
The message centred around I
Corinthians, chapter. 15 and Mark,
chapter 15, which give two separate
accounts of the resurrection event.
The resurrection is the foundation of
the gospel. There would be no gospel
without it. Concepts of the
resurrection catised difficulties: -
from the beginning. Was it possible
for Christ to proclaimthe
resurrection when persons could see
the sealed tomb? The Jews had a
simple explanation; the body was
stolen. But the,,appearance of the
risen Lord silenced that theory.
Three concepts were set forth:
confirmation, transformation and
salvation. Things, done by Jesus
were of God; the faith of the
disciples was the result of Christ's
appearance; salvation is the hope
and promise found in Jesus through
the resurrection.

BVLGRAVE—"Not my will, but
Thine be done" was the theme of
worship' for the general meeting of
the United Church Women, held
March 31 at Knox United Church.
Wgrship was conducted by Mrs. Jim
Hunter and Mrs. John McIntosh.
The leaders spoke of the im-
portance of doing God's will. The
salvation of the world hung in the
balance as the Son of God literally
"sweat it out" in the Garden of
Gethsemane. The struggle was' with
the cross and -the Father's will.
Jesus wanted to do the Father's will
but struggled with whatit would
take to do it.
The New Life Singers of Wingham
provided special inspirational music
for the meeting.
A bale of used clothing will be
collected at Ross Anderson's store
