days and speaking of the things per-
il : taining to the kingclow or God." The
testimony 9), Peter in Acts 11, Hi, v,
concerniug the resurrection is very
strong, „notably that in Acts v, 30-82.
Our daily testimony to the risen Ohrist
should be such as to compel people to
see that we have been with Jesus, If
we know the power of His resurrec-
tion it will be so. nnd Fie who will
finally stbdue all things unto Himself
(verses 24, 28) will so subdue us and
'bring every thought into captivity that
the daily Ilfe shall be the life of Jesus
made Manifest In our mortal flesh (I1
Cor. x 5; iv, 10, 11. Seeing Jesus lays
otie very low In his own estimation, so
Paul speaks or bltnself as the least of
tbe apeatles not meet to be called an
apostle (verse 9). Be elsewhere speaks
or hiniseif as less than the least of all
saints and again tis the chief of sin-
ners (Eph. til. 8; 1 Thin. 1, 15). Com-
pare the experiente of others In Job
x/11, 5, 0; Isa, vi, 5; Dan, s, 8; Rev. I.
• In Where there is the least good
opinion of self it IS because the King
has not been seeu in Els beauty. We
must learn to say as Paul said In Rom,
vii, 18; "I know that in me --that is, in
nty flesha-dwelleth. goods thing.'"
then ive"ean -adch•-nif 'he .dees, in""our
lesson (verse 10), "By the grace of God
1 AM what I am," and eoncernineenu
service, "Not I, but the grace of God
which WEIS with me." We should be
consclouS else, as he was, that we have
only to receive from the Lord nnd de-
liver to nthers what we have received
(verse 3 and chap. xi, 23). Vithen I
consider that the words and works of
tbe Lord Jesus •wore always Die Fa-
ther's words and works I can only de-
sire to so yield end ithicle that I •may
be Ills messenger with Fits message
and that He may work in me to will
and to do of Ills good Weasel.° (John
xii, 90; xiv, 10; Hen I, 15; Phil= 11. 13).
This Is restful and gives great quiet-
ness and, according to verse ris of our
lesson chapter,makes one steadfast,
unmovable and • always abounding.
The resurrectiou of Jesus Christ makes -
certain our own resurrection or trans-
lation (verses 23, 50-54), and the assur-
ance of a body, like His glorified body,
which svIll never again be weak or
weary Mk' suffer or die, is a great in-
slpration vviaile we continue in these
mortal bodies. In verse 28 we have
what seems to me the highest moun-
tain peak in all Scripture, "That God
may be all in all," Chile( shall then
have reigned and Bit, saints with hirn
'until all -things shall bare been sub-
dued unto HIM. • Then shall there be
no more curse, no sin nor suffering, no,
more -death, Bet the long expected
kingdom of peace and righteousness
shall fill the earth (Rev. xxl, 8-5:
8, 9; Ise. xxxil. 1. In. As these truths
bold us we shall )tuow Him and the
power or His resurrection (P1111. Hi, 10)

We turn aside this .week from the
regular lesson to stand- MI hour on the
resurreetion of our Lord Jesus Christ,
a topic on which we should meditate
continually, for If Christ be not risen
all are lost and preaching and faith aro
equally in vain (verses 14-19). Con -
eider well His own testimony tbat Be
would else again the third day (Matt
xil, 40; inn 21; vii, 9, 22, 23; xx, 17-

testimonies Mit of many—"1"bid Jesul
heel. God raised up, whereof we all are
Witnesses," * * "God bath made that
same Jeeps, whom ye have crucified,
both Lord and Christ" (Acts 32, 36).
Our lesson begins with the words, "I
declare unto you the gospel," and in
• verses 3,4, he de0nes It in these words:
"Christ died for our sins, according to
the Scriptures; He was buned, and He
rose again the third day, according to
the Scriptures." In Rom. 1, 1-4, be
speaks of it as "the gospel of Gocl con-
cerning lies Son, JeSus Christ our Lord,
• declared to be the Son of (led witla
• po.wer by • theeresurrection from the
dead." In IL Tim. )1. 8, be says "Re-
member that Jesus Christ of the seed
, ,
of David was raised from the dead, an
coedit:into my gospel." I3efore He an
cm:tried:lie ordered that repentance mad
• remiesion of sins should be proclaimed
In His name among all nations (Luke
axle, 47), and we need only to listen to
Paul in Aces nil, 38, 39, to understand
hew simply and fully it wee done, .
"Through this rutin is proclaimed unto ••
you the forgiveness, of sins, and by
Hinn all that believe are justified from
all things," ,As In yerse 2 of OUr les-
son, "By ..veticia also ye are seven *
unleenne have believed in vain." In•
'verses 5 to 8 Paul mentions five ap-
pearances of Christ between Ens resur-
rection and ascension, and there were •
five more, including three others OD the
resurrection day—His appearance to
Mary, to the other women and to the
two on the way to Emmaus. Hle ap-
pearance to Paul on the way to Da -
meanie (verse 8) was 'after His ascen-
sion, as was also Hie appearing to
