We have a long letter me. Mr. Daniela on the subject of Sunday movies which was crowded and this week. Watch for it next week. Because of the remn-ertivm we be- lievn in the -urvi\-al 0f poryonality after clnath. All arnnml us are evi- dences of immorality. Refow the re- surrection thr- difl'iculty “'35 in be- lieving in the immortality of the in- dividual. (‘hrkt in His infinite good- ness has rnmowd that tlfliculty. We shall live, not as {armless beings but as ourselves. The kind of future life we shall live fundamentally depends, on whether as reasonable men we ac- cept the testimony of those who saw the risen Christ. or irrationally re- ject it. Either way [hi-re is the fact. Christ has indeed risen, and Easter; is the symbol of our hope. ‘ Safely.

We have cortitude with re~ gard to them similar to that which we have of the writings of Cicero, or of a deed the original of which has been destroyed but which exist in an au- thentic copy.

We believe because it is 5m histori- cal fact proved by the testimony of those who saw Hi’m after His Resur- radian.
