BA Degree To Area Graduate For Your Information Dear Friends, Have you heard someone say, "We see nothing of each other when alive, why should I visit after someone is gone?" The time of death is no time to be giving expression to inner guilt feelings by outward omissions. The bereaved need all the comfort and support they can re­ ceive from relatives and friends. Hiis means their physical presence as an expression of compassion and love, both at the funeral ser­ vice and during the trying days thereafter.

THE PASSION PLAY This is the last report on the Passion Play which many of us attended in May. Awhile after Christ had arisen from his tomb, He led his fol­ lowers as far out as Bethany, and He lifted up Ms hands and blessed them. He had given His last instructions to His disci­ ples. As they came to a slight elevation of ground, Jesus went to the top while Ills disciples remained below. The disciples did not know what was about to happen. Jesus said to them in a loud clear voice, "All power is given unto Me in heaven and on earth, Go ye there and teach all nations and baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Lo I am with you always, saying The Lord bless thee and keep thee and the Lord make His face to shine upon thee". At this moment bright clouds commenced to descend from heaven. One of them completely enveloped* Him. The clouds st­ arted to rise with Jesus. Multi colored lights played through the clouds. Angels floating a- round and He ascended heaven ward. The heavens themselves opened and a group of angels with trumpets and a great hal­ lelujah chorus welcomed the Master to His seat at the right hand of His Father from whence according to His promise, He shall judge the world. Jesus said in the same way He went up in so like manner He shall come again.
