The fact of the resurrection of Jesus cannot be understood at all until its consequences also are realized. If the resurrection' of Jesus be a reality, then it is fraught with such tre. mendous consequénces to mankind that words fail us to describe it ade. quately. Clearly, if Jesus could rise from the dead, then itis possible also for us to rise from the dead. Paul is both logi- real and philosophical in making his teaching of a personal immortality con tingent upon 'the resurrection of Jesus, If all' the bonds that have bound hu manity have been broken, and if death, the last great conqueror of the race has been mastered by Christ, then a new order of affairs entirely has entered into human life, > ---- The New King's Imperialism. The resurrection fact is inadequate without the resurrection programme: Jesus proved His authority by His as- cendency over death. He had demon. strated the possibility of a new and risen life. Now we find Him, in the present lesson, issuing directions to His followers as to the manner in which the new life is to be lived. The former teachings of Christ were all touched with a new luminosity by this new truth of the resurrection. It also made necessary certain special instruc. tions to the men who were to carry on the work of Jesus. The Master was mounting His throne: what was to be J. ABRAMSKY & SONS, LTD.

Since his followers believed him to be God's fatest and fullest Prophet, then it was incumbent upon them to carry his re- 'velation to the uttermost man they coyld reach. In a far greater senmse, if Jesus Christ be the Son of God, the mankind's only Redeemer, then all the world must be told the good news; and no other concern 'in life becomes sa important as the bearing of this mes- sage. The imperialism of Christianity dates from the resurrection. The world pro. gramme of Christ was laid down after He had broken the bonds of death. His fullest and final instructions te His disciples were imparted from ¥iis side of the tomb. The work of winn- ing all men to Him is bound up with the kingship of Christ. As runs the old saying, "Christ will not be Lord at all, unless He can be Lord in all" A Dead or a Living Lord? We have come to the splendid cli. max of the career of Christ; a climax essential to the completion of afl that has gone before. Christianity could not be founded on a closed tomb. A dead Christ would have been an anticlimax and a fallare--even though he would have met all the conditions of the peo- ple who regard Jesus as merely an ex. ample and a teacher. For the comple. tion of His mission and triumph of His imessage. Jesus logically had to be the and the reigning Christ. So after int of forty days, during which He had shown Himself alive by "many infallible proofs," the hour of ascén- The International Sunday School Lesson for "The Forty Days and the Ascension," CLIMAX OF THE KING March 22nd, 24:13-53, By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. while He was blessing them. He part- led from them and sequences, and the shrewd person per { God. A New Life Source.' Wrapped up in the truth of the As- cension is the other truth of the life of the Christian church. She gets her power not from her organization, or from her leaders--of whom, alas, there is such a scarcity--but from the risen Christ himself, "who ever liveth to make intercession." The New Testa- ment is inwrought with the tremen- dous teaching that this new organiza- tion of believers, which Christ left be- || hind to carry on His work, is qualified |i and equipped and empowered by His own life. The strength of the Church is simply the strength of her King re- siding in her--"Christ in you the hope 1] | | of glory." Apart from- this indwelling |} life of the risen Christ in His Church, || there is no power in her and no hope | Ij for the world. The Church is the in- | strument of Christ, "We are but organs mute, till a master ||} touches the keys-- Harp are we, silent harps that have hung on the willow trees, Dumb till our heartstrings swell and |] break with a pulse divine." Where Cannot Prevail There is no neéd greater than that | Christians should be dominated by the ||} conviction that Jesus Christ still lives i and reigns. The faith 6f many has been clouded. What may be said to them? "All authority is given unto me." So rang the words of Christ ere He ascended fo the seat of highést autho. rity. They never were so true as today. The King is upon His throne in high- est heaven. His plans may be inscrut. able but they are Gertain to be carried out. He makes the wrath of man to praise Him. The Kingdom of Heaven is not a de. | mocracy but an absolute monarchy. We need to remind ourselves of this at times. God is supreme. He is not con- strained to explain His ways to man. He is working out Kingdom plans that are vaster than our power of compre- [Ji hension. With*Him a thousand years |} are as a day. His Kingdom is coming as surely as He is King. Dimly we may discern the providences of present ev- || ents. We can only, however, think God's thoughts after Him and some. | times afar off. The New World's Pro 3 The sitnple fact is that the hopr has struck for a new and vaster programme of Christidtiity" The organized Church of our diy has come to a crisis. The ecclesiastical programme and methods have almost broken down. Even the Church is turning in repugnance from the ecclesiastical politicians who have sapped so much of her life and per- verted her clear and simple purposes. Machinery and organization and world ly methods have in good part thwart. 8d the godly devotion of the rank and file of the Church. Now. this world tumult has shaken the human ryce into a new sense of unity and interdependance, Old com- placencies have been shattered. Old provincialisms have disappeared. Men are gaining a new, vast comprehensive sénse of the whole world. The world today is rising to the level of the real Kingdom conception. Pica~ 'yune policies must pass away. The im- mensity. of the world needs will newly dominate human thinking. Otir own sation will be ghaped more and more umanity.
