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.

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.
