42 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, March 28, 1953 Jesus Christ And Stalin R. BARCLAY WARREN One newspaper editorial follow- ng Stalin's death was composed of three Latin words which mean "Thus always to tyrants'. After being viewed by great throngs of people his body was laid to rest by Lenin's tomb in the nation's capi- tal. Already his name is slipping from the memory of the ple and is heard less often. History will bear the record but the man is gone and will soon be forgotten by the mass of the people. Nearly 2000 years ago a young man of 33 was put to death as a criminal. He had *written no books and had travelled. in only a tiny area of the world. They put his body in a Borrowed tomb outside the nation's capita], Jerusalem. Strangely enough, Stalin didn't care for this man. But how was it that Stalin knew of this man? Something happened that had never happened before. On the third day, Easter Sunday friends went to the tomb. To their surprise the stone from the mouth of the tomb had been rolled back and an angel was sitting on it, The Roman soldiers who had been sta- tioned to guard the tomb had be- come like dead men. The ange, said to the women, "Fear not ye: for 1 know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for He is risen, as he said. come, see the place, where the Lord lay." The women departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring His disciples word. Jesus Christ conquered death. By this He proved that He was indeed the Son of God. This confirmed the truth of all His teaching. It was He who had come from heaven to bring salvation to men. What He taught about repentance, be- lieving on Him, and the New Birth was truth. He had done what no other man could do. He feated that enemy of all -- death. Jesus Christ wasn't mentioned at Stalin's funeral. Stalin didn't wish to be His disciple, But Jesus Christ is living. Stalin is dead. We who have yielded our hearts to Jesus Christ know that He is liv- ing. He is real. He is closer than our dearest friend. I would sooner be a disciple of Jesus Christ than a follower of Communism. It is more satisfying here and then --all of us, including Stalin -- will be judged at the last great day, 4s to whether or not we accepted God's offer of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.
