Jesus said unto her, 1 am the res- urrection, and the life: ho that be- lieveth on me though he die, yet shall he live; And whosoever livelh and bcliev- eth on me shall never die. Kelieveest thou this? "Jesus .aith unto her." It is ex- ceedingly difficult to .say just the ri^ht word to those who are heart- broken in grief, and .Jesua knew exactly what to say at the right time (Prov 15:23). "When the Lord Jesus breaks the silence, he breaks that makes the silence dpad- ly. "Thy brother .shall rise again."

"He that believeth on me, though he die, yet shall he live " "And whosoever liveth and believetr. in me shall never die. Believcst thou this? Faith in Chrisl who is eternal life binds our life to him, and. though believers die. in that their spirits are separated from then bo lies, un- til the Lord returns, they themselves never die, i.e.. they arc never separ- ated from the life of Cod. or lose their individuality. ".She saith unto bin., Vea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that Cometh into the world." 8hi« is one of the great confessioi.^ of the Gos- pels. In believing aa she did, she be- lieved that e\!!iythiiig that Christ had said about himself was true. 'And when she had said this, she went away, and aliei, Mary her sis- ter secretly, saying.

Could not this man, who open- ed the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this man al.so should not die. It is difficult to de- termine whether the remarks of the Jews here are the expression of a real question in their mind.s, or, in an indirect way, a severe criticism and rejection of the Lord Jesus Their reference is to the miracle of the healing of the blind man which is recorded in the ninth chapter of John. It is significant that they do not speak of the other two miracles of the raising of the widow's son (Luke 7:11-15) and of he daughter of Jairus (Matt !i:18-26. etc). "Jesus thcrelore again groaning in him.velf cometh to the tomb \ow it was a cave, and a stone lay against it." The stone which tilockej up the Mar;:aret Sullavan stone." (Cf. 20:1.) Jesus could have miraculousy lomeved the stone, but what men were able to do so, he ex- pected and commanded them to do so. "Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, l!ord. by this time th body de.ayeth; for he hath been dead four nays." It is sig- nificant in the light of this pa.s.sage to remember that Christ was not in the grave fou- days, but three days. with William I'oweil Both Warner Brothers and Paramotint are . trying to get fCoel Coward and Gert- rude Lawrence to do their nine short |)lays, that are Broadv.ay's biggest ', hits, as screen shorts.

It means the bandages which kept the sheet and spices around the body, with a napkin." The cloth was bound under the chin to keep the lower jaw from falling. "Jesus saith unto them. Loose him, and let him go." The miracle is accomplished, and yet how few the details con- cerning the very moment in which everyone would bo most interested. Not a single word is recorded of how Lazarus looked when he came forth, or of what he said, or of his experi- ences during the days of living in an- other world, or of the feelings of Martha and Mary when he was re- stored to their home. Tliis is the end of John's account of the miracle itself. All the rest of the chapter is occupied with the effect of this miracle upon the Jews.

In a world full of dictators and diplomats and people ever ready to to propose to preach and to point with pride, one ougiit to be very grateful to that minority of men v.ho forbear to add their wisdom and their claims to the general clamour. Yesterday's ne.vs Oifered two bril- liant e.wmples of this virtue, rare now to the vanishing ponit. They were provi.led by tv\o men of \ery different talents and attainments One was Walter Damrosch, v/ d had reached the eve of his .se.en â-  fifth birthi.jk an achievement which genera;. \ i.- regarded by n'cn of much smaller and less substantia: eminence than Mr. Uamro.sch as ju:;- tiiication for advising the world at large about things in general Bi:t Mr. Damrosch > as asked.
