The •future life for all believers is to be a bodily as Well as "t 1pii•itnal life. For Christ's body was enised from the dead. His resurrection did not Mean, <tfi 5ulale' would tell es, merely euntiuted spiritual existence: Idis spirit was reunited to His'body, and deaiircould no, longer claim]that body. For when the women ywent. to His sepulchre, that first ]'.;aster morning very early, "they entered in, and fount not the body of the Lore] Jesus," '('he many accounts in the New `Testament snake it inescapably plain that the body in which Christ was crucified on the cross was raised from the dead on the third day after its burial. Bod- ily resurrection is part of the Gospel for .all believers: Heaven, where those who are saved by' faith in Jesus Christ are to live in. the future life, is not a state of mind, or a .condition, but a place. "In my Father's house are Many mansions," said Christ to Hi disciples; "I go to prepare a place for you. . I will come again, :lied receive you unto My- self; that where I am there ye may be also:" So the future life is a place where the saved will have fellowship with the Father and the Saviour.

(Easter Lesson,) Sunday, April 12 --Matt. 25:31-46; Mark 12:26.27; Luke 24:1-12; John 34:1-6; 1 Cor. 15:3-20, 50-58; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Rev. 22:1-5. Golders Text. I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall live. (John 11:25) Let us never fall into the coronion mistake of saying that we cannot know whether there is ally life on the other side of the grave because no one has ever come back to tell us. That does not happen to be true. Jesus died—His death was as real and liter- ai a death as has ever occurred since the world began, And Hi eante back from the grave after He had died. He had much to say to His disciples after He had come back. Furthermore, by the sirnple laws of historical evidence,. the resurrection of Christ has been called the best attested fact in all his- tory. Seven passages from seven books of the New Testament give us our Easter lesson on the future life, with many different facts about the life af- ter death. Jesus Christ is n<:,t only Saviour, but also Lard and Ding, and I -Ie is corning again to ilia earth as its rightful Xing, When He coanes again "then shall f'ie sit upr>n the Throne of His glory," and He shail separate men, making an eternal distinction be- tween then], That is an inescapable part of the lift; after this, To one kind of human beings 'FIr; will say; "Carne, ye blessed of My Father, inlherit the kingdom prepar- ed for you from the foundation 'rbf the world,". '1''•o' the other Ile will say: "Depart from Me, ye ittrsed, into ev- erlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." We ltnow that there is nothing arbi-y'i shall the bodies of all believers be raised front the dead. This is an essential and inseparable part of the Gospel. Paul is very ex- plicit as to the Gospel be preached, which was revealed to him by God; "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that ><itrcll y, A 1', 19 LENT A MILE ROUND TRIP lBARGAIN FARES M. th (owu Vow) 1 Adttltp 70; CUM 40o) From VVINGHAM �ntl all C.N.R., ,Stations SARNIA UU1t1 A , _�a3�A�P�q e. s front Statism SAINIA 5o14COninoluutynIltIoit WTV(IAM inclusive.and»71)111tICH, I Alii SOUAtIAMF1ON, OWEN �'WAAIt7bN,,Q1tLEI1Anri, said till Iutatmwltaio Statuone south v wept thnmak#athq STRATI.

":for if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: sand if Christ be' not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished." That is the negative conclusion. Bat it' is based on a false premise, Paul declares. He sweep away all that false Premise and hopeless conclusion as he declares: "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of thein that slept. .
