The sadness of Good Friday seems to God - - vanish as we see the happenings of Easter morning. i Let me share with you five marvels of the Resurrection. 0 Importance Of The Message He © 1. The theme of the Apostles' preathing and i writings was the fact that Jesus arose from the Be dead. In Acts 2, Peter speaks of God raising up Ch Christ and exalting Him. Paul continually refers to Ly the third day when Jesus was made alive again. He ih was delivering to the churches that which he. jx < received from God. This message was that Christ i hd was crucified, buried and raised again out of the RA tomb. In Romans 10, Paul exhorts that in order to hi be saved you must believe in your HEART that God. ; 0 raised Christ from the dead.

Jesus was in the tomb for three days, but when He came forth, it was instantaneous. He battled ' darkness and hell for hours but when the: keys of death and hell were His complete property, He let the world know in a minute. The tomb was empty; the stone rolled away, the soldiers were as dead men, and a miracle had happened. All of our Gospel hinges on a miracle from creation to resurrection. It is a miracle that someone could raise up another person, but it is a double miracle when Jesus had power to lay down His own life and take it up again. 3. All spectators and doubters demand proof that a. He-Appeared To Many. Scriptures declare He appeared to Mary, twelve disciples, to 500, and 120 : Sent The Holy Spirit. Had Jesus not ascended to Heaven, the Holy Spirit would not have descended to earth. The Holy Spirit'is here today filling thousands of lives from all denominations. c. His Gospel Still Lives Today. Jesus is the only one who started a gospel and still lives. Because He lives, He is keeping His Gospel alive. It is not dying but becoming more prominent all over the world. 4. The tables were turned, the devil was defeated, and the whole atmosphere of spiritual life swas electrified when Jesus arose. He burned a fire in the - hearts of the disciples of Emmaus, dried the tears of Mary, brought an answer to- the discouraged disciples, supplied restoration to backsliding Peter, and ever lives to make intercession for us. When coming forth He conquered Satan and took the sting out of death. We have obtained a lively hope of eternal life by His resurrection. Paul said, "If we. had hope only in THIS life, we would be of all men most miserable."

BILL MILEY UGAR ano ~~ GOD'SIN HIS HEAVEN Let's see. The first New Zealander I ever met was a French teacher called Jeannie Cameron, I kissed her up in an-apple tree - one day. She was twenty-six, and lonely. I was nineteen -- and nineteen. She wasn't a New Zealander then. She was a high school teacher. And I was a student. In fact, when the word got around that I was kissing my French teacher up in an apple tree, it very nearly ruined me with my fifteen-year-old girl friend, who thought "teachers should be seen and heard, but not touched. However, that's another story. Jeannie fell in love with a New Zealand airman, during the war. His name was Andy. Said he owned a sheep ranch. But I reckon he was a shoe clerk. He was no different from thousands of Canadian servicemen, who married lovely little English ducks on the strength of their big cattle ranch, or gold mine, back home. The girls came out expecting The Ponderosa, and found they were the sole menial on 120 acres of cedar and rock. Or Johnny didn't happen to own that gold mine. He just worked in it. . The chaps were not being dishonest. After all, if you said to an English girl, "The old man has 120 acres", it sounded as though there must be at least ten servants. If he said, "I'm a gold miner", it sounded as though he had a gold mine. Well, Jeannie went to New Zealand with: Andy, and I hope she slept well, counting; those non-existent sheep as they leaped over the shoe counter. The next New Zealanders I met were in training, in England. They spoke English, but it was a little different. Once I asked two of them what they were doing that evening. One replied, "We thett we'd weck ecress a cepple o' peddocks anev a bayah." Much research divulged that this meant they thought they would walk across a couple of fladgecks (fields) and have a beer at the pu "» Then I got to a squadron. Three of us in a tent. Two Canadians and a New Zealander. By this time I could talk New Zealand. Nick was _an old guy, about twenty-five. Good type. Earthy, practical, realistic. The other Canadian, Freddy, was nineteen, virginal, idealistic, and credulous. I was sort of in between.

Nick used fo tell that boy stories that curdled his blood and even curled my hair slightly. He told us the biggest lies about the fish and the deer and the sheep and the women of New Zealand that I blush, even now; to think of how I half believed him. Freddy was sold and we formed a syndicate, then and there, to go to N.Z. after the war and get rich in two years. The syndicate was rather shattered when Nick and Freddy were killed in one week, and I was shot down the next. In prison camp, I knew another Newzie. He was a squadron leader. Everybody else thought he was around the bend, but T knew he was just another Newzie. He'd come to my room in barracks every so often and bellow, "Smiley, do you know where I can buy a truck in Canader?" His plan, after. release, was not to go back to N.Z. by ship, with the others, but to head for Canada, and - drive across the country by truck. It's quite possible that he planned to drive it right across the Pacific, too, but I couldn't remember a single truck dealer, so I don't know what happened. This seems like a long. preamble to something, and it is. Writing a column is one of the loneliest jobs in the world. Once in a while, shouting into the void, you hear an echo. It warms the heart. Such is this, from. Auckland, New Zealand. "Thank you, dear Bill Smiley, for your delightful column. Here I am, 7,000 miles from home and I felt that my little world was -erumbling around me. We are gradually losing everything and at present may lose our house as we try to make a go of it in New Zealand." 'As usually happens at times like these, minor problems seem major also and it seems impossible to.hold your head up in a positive manner. So this is where I was last night when the Statesman arrived from Bowmanville and I flipped it open to your column . . . and read about 'men and weather make mistakes'. Well, I nearly died laughing. And it felt so good to laugh. . "Well, to make a long story short, it was with amuch lighter heart that I swung out into the balmy night to put the milk bottles out. Things didn't seem to be so bad after all. And I was still chuckling so much that I suddenly realized that my head was high, my stride confident and the night sky down here is really beautiful and God is up there . . . how had I forgotten? Just to be able to laugh again at something. It really does do good like medicine." Thank you, dear lady. tinued their 15 YEARS AGO Thursday, March 28, 1957 ~~ Ted Jackson, a pilot during the First World War atten- ded a reunion of flying comrades in Montreal.
