INTRODUCTION -It is upon tib re- surrection of Christ that the church rests. It was the belief in this fact that aroused the disciples from their doubt, and started a new joy in their hearts. It was as witnesses of the re- surrection that they went forth as the first missionaries. It still is the faun - dation of the Christian hope. If Christ has not risen then ou! faith is in vain, There are narratives of the resur- rection in each of the Gospels, but these have certain discrepancies which cannot easily be reconciled; but the general impression is the sante in all, I. THE APPEARANCE TO THE WOMEN, 1-10. V. 1. In this double reference to the time, the end of the Sabbath would • include any time after sunset on Sab- bath, while the sante statement places the event very near to the breaking of the morning light of our Sunday. V. 2. Four Marys aro mentioned in the Gospels as connected with the clos- ing ministry of Jesus, (1) Mary the mother of Jesus, (2) Mary Magdalene, out of whom Jesus had cast seven devils, and who was well known to the church, (3) Mary the mother of James and Joses, (4) Mary the mother of Janes and John. It is said that they cane to see the sepulchre, but we learn from the other Gospels that they also brought spices for the anointing of the body. V, 2, Matthew alone mentions the earthquake, and this explains the fact given in Mark and Luke that the stone hnd been rolled away. V. 5. The angels urge the women to abandon all fear. They do not need 1 have the alarm wl.ich the watchmen have evidently shown. V. 0. Their fear is needless because their Saviour has risen in accordance -.with Inc prediction, Besides, the angel bids them loolc at the tomb, the Mean- ing of which is more clear when we read John 20: 5-7, where -dile position of the clothes is given. V. 9. There are five accounts of the appearances of the risen Christ. The four Gospels certain one each, while Paul gives us his list in 1 Cor,, chap, 15. It seems avident that the first appearance was made to Mary Mag- dalene. Altogether there are eleven distinct instances en which Jesus manifests himself to his disciples, In Matthew and Mark the chief interest 10 in the appearance made in Galilee, where the apostles had gone after the crucifixion. In v. 7, they are bidden to meet him in Galilee. Luke and John are more concotned with the ap- pearances in or near to Jerusalem, though in the last chapter of John we have the beautiful story of Christ re- vealing himself by the shore of Galilee, In genual these narratives point but several facts, (1) There is no doubt t' at it is the mune Jesus wham they had known before. (2) Yet there are very great changes, for he is no longer subject to the laws of natural form. He passes through closed doors, '(3) He appears only to believers. II, TILE GREAT OOMMISSION, 16-20. the Messiah, Jesus 'las risaa from the dead, never to die again, and now his spiritual po.:er is offered to all believers, Ha is with the disciples es a permanent Saviour, to guide, in- struct, protect and rescue. Thrilling Takeoff Occurs in Forest Ono of the most thrilling airplane takeoffs that has ever been'performed was accomplished recently by Captain Charles Kingsford -Smith, the Austra- lain, who flew from the United States to Australia i0 1928. Recently, when ono of the pia -ie:; of a commercial fleet made a forced landing in a forest near Bornaldo, New South Wales, it seem- ed to everyone that the ship would have to be dismantled before it could be removed, Captain Smith hit upon another idea. Ile tied the plane's tail to a treo and set the engines going full speed, When the machine lifted from the ground and strained at its leash, a farrier was signaled to mut the rope with au'axo. In a flash, tho plane was away. It barely cleared the true tops, but Captain Smith brought it safely home.

His words are those of a great kuler, We should put the word "auth- ority" here instead of "power," Jesus claims that he has the supreme control of the universe. Nor is the claim any usurpation, since it has been given to him by the Father, This rule or power of Jesus has ,to ]knit, it includes heaven and earth, There were signs of the authority of Jesus while he was in the flesh, as when he said that he had authority io forgive sin and to control the Sabbath. It is chiefly in the sphere of religion that we think of the authority of Christ. Ile is the great teacher on the problems of the soul. His message alone is final. Moreover he is himself the message. He 10 the way, the truth and the life. V. 19. The great commission. Since Christ has universal power he will be tr universal ruler, His sphere of ac- tion will not be confined to one coun- try, but will include all the nations of the world, II'ence his disciples must go forth to make disciples of all na- tions. They are also commanded to use baptism as the sign of admission into the new kingdom. This rite was not unknown to the Jews; but it was in the Christian Church that it cane to have its richest meaning, It signified washing away of sin through faith in the living Saviour. V. 20, The conclusion of the Gospel is reached in this grand climax. There is a promise of the eternal presence of Smart women favor this new femin- ine mode ecause it's so extremely flat- tering.

Spain Up -to -Date Has Bootleggers J BOON TO HUBBIES A radio authority reveals that su- psrthh:king can be induced by heat- ing the brain cells with rays from a high -frequency vacuum tube. Men who can never remember what it was their wives asked them to bring home will welcome this priceless invention with cheers, The axion that the world is a pretty small place after all evidently holds true not only in regard to 111s- tance but to some customs as well, A Madrid newspaper ran a news item recently which impresses the fact that America 10 mot the only home of bootleggers, The item reads: "Jorge liolrenger, aged 20 yeas, went aboard a French ship lying in the harbor at Barcelona and was offered the opportunity to purchase contraband tobacco. He re- fusrd and alleges that in the midst of the ensuing discussion he was over- come and bound, The police went aboard the ship, where they were in- formed that no such incident had oc- curred, Search revealed 110 contra- band." As the news stent suggests, ships coming frons foreign ports, probably without knowledge of their masters, often carry English or American cigarettes as the case may bo. Smokes obtained in this manner are cheaper than those bought through the mono- poly. Ono man boasts that his post- man keeps hint supplied with tobacco smuggled in this manner, and busi- ness ]rouses sometimes have their workers canvassed by venters. 'this indicates that people in other lauds are just as willing buyers of contra- band and that enterprising bootleg- gers and officials are just as numerous in 000 part of the world as another. Which is not to say that the business Is done on.a wholesale basis, as fu the case of liquor in the United States, but nothing is done that way hero, Americans Get Turkish Monopoly Istanbul, Turkey -Angora advices reported that the Turkish Cabinet has approved the American and European Match Couipatty's offer of a 310;000,- 000 advance to the Turkish Govern- nnert for 25 years' control of the Turkish snatch monopoly, Lee, Ili„- ginsou & Co. of New York will Bandl,; the financing. 11111> "When 1 visit the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstue I realize the insigni- ficance of man.

The Cry of the Little Brothers (The Good St. Francis of Assisi called all animals his little brothers and sisters). Wo aro the little brothers, Homeless In cold and Beat, Four -footed little beggars Roaming the city street: Snatching a bone fronkhe gutter, Creeping thro 'alleys drear, Stoned and sworn at and beaten, Our hearts consumed with fear. You wide yourselves on the beauty Ot your city fair and free; Yet we are dying by thousands Inn coverts you never see. You boast of your mental pn''ogress, 0f your libraries, schools, and halls; But we who are dumb denounce you, As we crouch beneath your walls. You sit in your tinselled playhouse And weep o'er a mimic wrong; Our woes aro the woes of tho voice- less, Our griefs are unheeded 10 song. You say that the same God made us, When before Plis throe° you come Shall you clear yourselves in MIs pre- sence On the plea that He made us bumb? Are your hearts too hard to listen , To a starving kitten's cries? Or too gay for the patient pleading In a dog's beseeiting eyes, Behold us, your little brothers, Starving, beaten, oppressed - Stretch out a hand to help its That we may have food and rest, Steam Heat To Go Say Scientists Detroit, -A rival for steam heat, diphenyl, the world's newest commer- cial substance, was introduced to the Antericau Institute of Chemical En- gineers here recently. Diphenyl -pronounced dy-feu-ill-is a synthetic chemical, something that probably never existed anywhere in nature, but better than water for one purpose. Beat transfer Is the thing that steam deer when it wnrins the radia- tor 000 through it the air is the room. Diphenyl carries great heat without the dangerous, explosive pressure of steam. A 700 degrees the new chemi- cal has only about 05 pounds pressure compared with about 1000 pounds for Meant. Diphonyl is not at present a substi- tute for steam heat, but it foreshad- ows the sort of stuff likely some day to make It easier to pipe heat into the house front a central station much as water now ho piped. Professor Bad- ger revealed some of the pecullarites encountered In using diphenyl in the manufacture of caustic. For one thing, 1t call leak out of joints imper- vious to steam and water. Strangely enough diphenyl is made from explosive benzene, By heat two hydrogen atoms are forced out of two benzene molecules, which thereupon unite to form the uew substance, a yellowish, white solid, It melts at about 155 degrees Fahrenheit, It already has given promise of be- ing a worthy child of benzene, which is ono of the most widely used chemi- cals. From diphenyl already have beea made amber -colored resins, black pitches and gray crystalline solids. It has been used in snaking varnish, in- sulation, flame proofing and water proofing. Pygmies Still Live In Darkest Africa Parts -There still aro plenty of pygmies in the interior of Africa, Mrs. Carl Akeley, widow of the noted American explorer, reported upon her return here recently after a year's exploration among the litho peoples 101111 camera and typewriter, Mrs, Kkeley said that the legend of the pygmies disappearing was due to their shyness, which had taught them the art of malting themselves all but invisible. She said she found many villages of the little people who are the size of normal 10 -yeas -old children. They live in tiny huts made of leaves, 111 which they crouch. They move away at the slightest alario and constantly are slating front one food source to another. Too long have Wo roamed neglected, Too long have we sickened with fear; The mercy you lope and pray for, You can grant us now and Here. -Ethelred Breeze Barry, Soviet Russia Cows Wear Spectacles Soviet itussia has originated many novel social and economic experi- ments, but perhaps it has never be- fore tried to do anything quite so un- usual as to make cows wear specta- cles. 'Phu purpose of this experiment has no craacction with the ancient joke about rite cattle raiser who put green spectacles on his cows so that they would eat aawdust and believe It to be grass, The new invention has a serious purpose -to defend the eyesight of the cows against storms. Forgotten Rubens Found Vienna -A forgotten early work of Rubens has been discovered among a number of other paintiegs in the cel- lar of the Austrian historical Museum of Art by its director, Dr. Gustave Glueck. The picture, a portrait of Margaret of Austria, the wife of Philip II of Spain, has 11000 more than 100 years ho Austria, having been a gift to the old Austrian Imperial fam- ily and forgotten. Rose and Anemone A Greek Myth - 13y Lockwood Marr Once niton a time there was a very fashionable wedding on the Olympian Heights whore the Greek gods lived Eris, the goddess or Discord, was not asked; thereby hangs the tale. Site passed by and tato the 101401 of the wedding guests threw an apple of pore gold, upon which was written "For the most beautiful.' A scramble fol- lowed. When the battle cleared three young ladies claimed the apple. Zeus called for order, and made Paris judge of this first beauty contest. The apple was given to Cytherea, a mermaid. Naturally the other two did not have a chance. Site was born of the sea - foam and landed at Cythera, Tho Greeks knew her as Aphrodite, and she was called Venus by the Romans. Venus was a Ifirt, but she finally fell In love with Adonis, the handsom- est of all young men, and deserted Olympus to live on earth with him, Their romance crone to a tragic end when Adonis, stili in the flush of his Youth, was killed by a wild boar. Tho gods willed that a sunnier fes- tival called the Garden of Adonis, bo held in his memory. This festival symbolized Ole annual arrival of spring, the blossoming of flowers and their death and decay with the com- ing of the frost and winter winds. To the Greeks it 139111ed the cycle of love and life itself, for to all Hien in all times Venus and Adonis have been the Great Lovers, and their romance has been sung until this day. Roses were sacred to Venus be- cause, o-cause, so goetlt the myth, when Adonis was killed there sprang up front his life blood a red, red rose, and the tears of Venus turned to anemones, as the Greeks called them, which word means tiviml, And so in England these flowers of Venus were commonly known as wildflowers.

Indians Prosper On Prairie Reserves Edmonton, Alta. -"Lo, the poor In- dian" can no longer be resignated by this phrase as during the past year the lied :flan living on the reserves in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta marketed cattle to the value of $250,- 000 250;000 in addition to the live stock they raised for their own consunptlon. The Department of Indian Affairs has' announced that the Indian 00005- 000 and farmers on the prairies will this year seed over 100,000 acres of grain crops and In addition they own sono 25,000 head of cattle which range over the Indian reserves. George hector, well-known restau, anent, has related in his memoris that at au Arany and Navy Club dinner, Willie Collie', the actor, arose to speak after a dreary hour's eulogy by a general. Collier's entire speech was: "Ladies and gentlemen: Now I know' what they mean by the army and navy forever."
