foundation stone upon which the structure of christian doctrine rests ieware ot those who would spiritu alize or explain it away i the facts are there fully proved and dependable there is do need for doubt or question in our lesson we find i the great chance w 4150 since it is obvious that our present bodies are not suitable for the spir itual world v 50 and that there comes sooner or later and al most always it seems too soonf an end to their existence there must be a radical transforming change this takes place in the resurrection of the body to make such a blessed and to the human mind almost inconceiv abletruth clear paul uses the ef fective method of comparison and contrast following his skillful use of the illustration of the sowing of rain which dies that it may live fain i cor is 3538 he gives us a picture of the resurrection body that which we must put away in the silent earth at the and of lifes day is a natural body weak and lack ing eternal glory v 43 it has al ready shown the evidences of decay and corruption which we know shall be completely manifested in a short tune marvelous as it has been as an earthly body it cannot go with ua into eternity w 47 48 for it is natural and not at home in the spiritual world note then the great change that takes place in the resurrection the body or the eternal activity of the believer stands out as glorious in corrupt and incorruptible powerful spiritually quickened and heavenly what more could be said here we stand amazed and at the same time encouraged by the reve lation of what god has in store for us who believe on christ death does not end all it is only the be ginning of real fullness of life and usefulness for the christian and all that is because of ii the great victory w 5157 death is an enemy indeed man s great enemy there are those who have tried to deny that fact to ex plain it away they talk abqut death as the great adventure etc but when one actually comes to face it the truth is realized it is an enemv but in christ death is a con quered enemy the blessed mes- gf easter d is that death is swallowed up in victory v 54 death could not hold our lord v 07 and he was the first fruits of them that sleep v 20 this as sures us that because he lives we too who believe on him shall live so death has lost its sting and the grave its victory v 56 with paul we cry out today from the depths of our beings thanks be to god who giveth us the victory through ouvewrd jesus christ v 67 this is a dbyof joy of singing of victorious faith but the joy of easter is not aim ply something to warm ones heart it is m the great incentive v 58 living for christ and serving him in this world is our greatest pnvi lee but we are all so human that we need encouragement we need an incentive the bible speaks much of the re wards of god to those who are faithful and gives many assurances that we are not engaged in a vain taski at times it seems as though men only reject and the work of the lord moves but slowly if at ail let us not be discouraged or dis heartened we follow and serve a victorious christ one who has tri umphed over death and hell what we do for him is never done in vain note the helpful thought here wr are to be unmovable and yd abounding that seems paredoxi calfbut it is not for it is only the life steadfast and unmovable at the center which can abound at th c lrcumf e r en c e that center is the resurrected christ and when we are established id him we are ready to live the abundant life for him earter is a glad day for a behev er but it li a sad day for the un believer he may attempt to mam tain an outward appearance of jo lui ho will know in his heart thai the messageof the day is definitely not for him and yet it is for todny he may by faith jke as hissaviour the risen one and enter into full mss of joy in him so many people celebrate eas ter all their uvea year after year but never truly keep the feast may maay soefa friends make this zsstcrdav 144 the beginning of a as we see it by j a strang canadian soldiers seem to be getting their share of the honours that are being handed out and no doubt there are many others that de serve those special honours that miss out on them also there is one group on the home front that deserve special mention and it is the group of volun teer workers that hand out our ration books tnat we have in mind just why this particular group should be ex pected to do this work without remun eration la difficult to understand most of us even neglect to show our ap preciation to those volunteers when getting bur ration books and many of us do not even have a word of thanks for their trouble hlowever their work is appreciated and they will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have done a good job saved the do- mlnon a good many dollars and some times there is more real satisfaction in doing something lor nothing than there would be if we were being paid for doing it the passing of stephen leacock last week recalled to mind one night when we were attending the oac mr leacock was guest speaker that night addressing the students on the subject how to write a story we were more impressed by the looks of mr leacock than we were by any thing that he said he was introduc ed by prof mcoonkey and if you know mr mcoonkey you will know that he would be dressed ror the oc casion with not even one hair otft of place on the other hand mr lea- cocks hair looked as though it hadnt been combed since last house cleaning i time an bis string tie that might have been meant to be tied in a bow knot was hanging loose however h address went oyer big ana we thor oughly enjoyed it about all that we can recall of the address now was mr leacock was unable to tell us what sort member that the heroine inu always toe dressed in a flowing down mr leacok was unable to tell us whl sort of a rown that was and he mentioned that about all that he knew about gowns was the pne that he word when crossirur the campus on graduation day and then he also mentioned that he was well acquainted with a night gown as he had never become uptodate enough to wear the new fangled pa- jamas we thoroughly enjoyed his remarks and got a kick out ot his humor however we often thought af terwards when attempting to read some of his books that they didnt seem to go over the way his remarks did the stanley cup semifinals arc all over lor another year and all that we have to worry about now is the finals and it looks as though the canadiens of montreal should take the silverware this year the toronto maple leafs were not good enough for their opponents the canadiens how ever the leafs gave everything that uiey had and no team or individual should be expected to do any more hie leafcanadlen series was an in teresting one and outoide of the final game which the leafs lost by a score of 11 to 0 were not at all onesided games m the other semifinal series the chicago black hawks which made the playohs by a narrow margin suc ceeded in taking the detroit red wings in 4 out of 5 games while the canadiens should win over chicago in the finals the series may easily prove to be an upset many of us will be pulling for a win for chicago and all because of the way elmer ferguson viewed the situation during the leaf canadien series fergy had a good chance there to win some support for the montreal team however he blew that chance at almost every oppor tunity during the series we dont blame montreal for their high oplnon of their canadjena this year but there is a much more important game on i right now that pro hockey and many of the weaker teams are weak because of that larger game going on over seas hockey broadcasts have been good for us this season though tak- ing ones thoughts off more serious atj fairs for
