i £ *OOODDONDHDOSS derssers ces t oo The church was built on the faith that Christ was still alive and active ; in the world. That faith was based ‘"on the experience of those who were convineed that they had seen the Lord, and upon the evidence that he was alive in power among his followers in[ this very world whence his foes| thought they had banished him. and| going on with the work which Calvary : had interrupted. The resurrection: faith was, in th«e first place therefore.| based upon the resurrection appearâ€"‘ ances. | 1. THE APPEARANCE To MaRY, 20: 11â€"18. The body of Jesus, having raceived only temorary burial on Friday evenâ€"; ing, was to be properly embalmed as soon as the Sabbath was past. Mary Magdalene it was when went early, as the grey dawn was breaking, to the tomb (v. 1) to find the stone which h2d been laid against the face of it removâ€" ed. Something told her that her Lord was no longer there. Raising a nue and cry, she soon had others at the‘ tomb, v. 2. Upon "the disciple whom Jesus loved" flashed that the Lord was risen. But both he and Peter we:-e: still uncertain. Had they thought the| body had been stolen they would have informed Joseph of Arimathsa. Had they been convinced that Jesus had come to life again, they would certainâ€" ly have sought him uut and arranged a lodging. As it was, they were perâ€" plexed, and they went home to ponâ€" der over it all. Mmmmog 1. THE APPEARANCE To MaRYy, 20: 11â€"18. II. THE APPEARANCE To THE DISCIPLE:, 20: 19â€"20, InTRoDuctionâ€"John‘s aim in this chapter is to show the gradual dawnâ€" ing of faith in the resurrection among the disciples, until it blazed into fuil light in the confession of Thomas, v. 28. He is concerned mainly in bringâ€" ing out its spirituwal meaning for the church. But Mary lingered near. Through her tears she saw a vision of ange!s. but from them she learned nothing Becoming conscious of some one, the gardener (who else would be abroad so early?), she asked, "Tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away," v. 15â€"with her weak arms â€"but eager love knew no weaknes:.! Then came the greatest recognition | scen in all .iteratuteâ€"â€"“Mary.”â€"‘ "Rabonni!" Two words, but they| changed her world for her, and for us all. In the first flush of her joy, she started forward to embrace him. "Touch me not," he said, or "cease clinging to me."â€"Dr. Moffatt. Mary must now learn another and a higher vay of knowing her Lord. This highâ€" er way will not, however, begin until he has ascended, v. 17. This is John‘s way of teaching that the true proof of the resurrection and the true possesâ€" sion of the Risen Christ are not to be ‘oun in a "resurrection appearance" or physical coutacts. They are to be realized in the normal experience of the believer. He sends her immediately to tell the brethren, not his bloodâ€"relations, but his spiritual brethren, his disciples. The receiving of the Good News is alâ€" ways followed by the sharing of it with others. II. THE APPEARANCE To THE DISCIPLES, 20: 19â€"20. arch 27. Lesson Xilliâ€"Jesus Rises From the Dead (Easter Lesson)â€" John 20: 11â€"20. Golden Textâ€"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.â€"1 Corinthians 15: 20. That same eveniag, the first Chrisâ€" tian Sunday evening, the eleven were together, locked in for fear of the Jews, v. 19. When the news would reach the authorities that the body of Josus was gone, suspicion would most «ely fall upon his disciples of stealâ€" ing it. Hence the locked door. _ Christians are still living behind tae closed doors of fear, afraic to be cunâ€" sidered enthusiastic, afraid of public opinion, and thereby render their lives largely useless. We often close the door on Christ unwittingly. Sometimes our friendships close the door on many noble things, amoag them, the neauty of Jesus Christ. But he comes through our closed door. Suddenly the Master was in the room with them, v. 19. Coming, he brought peave to his own. Inner peaceâ€"â€"in the midst of outer conflict, such is the Christian‘s heriâ€" tage. What dif»â€":cnce does religiom make <a a man‘s life? For one thing, it can keep him cool and brave when others are faltering, enable him to iive through life‘s hazards and confusions with a bigness and a courage which Sunday School ANALYSIS. a‘l, "1 am with you." The essential thing about the Resurâ€" rection is the continued life and presâ€" ence of Jesus Christ. Had there not been something more than a bodily appearance, nothing much would have happened. It is the "something more" that has made all the difference. The thing that matters is not "how" the still living Lord nm.ade himself known to a few people nineteen hundred years ago, but that, since his death on Calvary, he has been touching men with the same quickening and renewâ€" ing power that he always had. are the wonder of those who havre not the secret. "Fear not," he says to al, "I am with you."

Tom has b Lesson Furâ€" Potsegq @n One of the stories told by Elsie Janis in her breezy reminiscencés "So Far, So Good," is of her first meeting with Mary Pickford. It was in the 1890‘s when, as child prodigies, both appeared on the same "bill" at Shea‘s Theatre, Torohto. Mary Pickfordâ€"â€" then known as "Baby Gladys Smith" â€"was playing in a sketch, while Elare Janisâ€"as "Little Elsic‘"â€"did "an act" all by herself. She was seven and something as a "star" already, having been on the stage for two years. Mary was younger, for, Elsie recalls, "they had to carry her on." The two "kiddies" became great friendsâ€"as did their mothers, by the way, for they had much in commonâ€" and have remained so cver since. Elsie remembers that "Mary would gaze wideâ€"eyed at my array of dresses, hanging on the dressingâ€"room wall, a different one for each performanc«, and two performances a day. "‘Mother,‘ she would say ly, ‘do you suppose I will pretty dresses like those?‘" Theré® are lots of chucklesâ€"and just a few sighsâ€"in the Janis book, beginning with the title itself "So Far, So Good!" As all the world knows, Elsie was married recently. This is how she started reminiscing: "There can be no doubt that I have reached the years of indiscretion. "For the first time in my life I have lost my sense of hamor over a man!" PEEPS AT CELEBRITIES. Caruso (at dinne> in the Janis apartment) : "Singing his requests for more potatoes, and ahâ€"ahâ€"ahâ€"ahâ€"ing right up to high C for another prece of bread, then drawing caricatures of us all on the ‘company‘ tablecloth! What a good, bad little boy he was!" Irving Berlin: "Irving became like a son to Mother. He reminded her of Perce (Elsie‘s dead brother). He didn‘t remind me of anyone, but 1 loved him! I still do, and I‘ll slap his face if he ever says he felt like a brother toward me!" Queen Alexandra (in the Royal box at a London thatre where Elsie Janis, in her makeâ€"up, had beea presented to her) : "As I was leaving, Queen Alexâ€" andra pulled one of my curls and said: ‘Ah!"They don‘t come off!‘ I murmurâ€" ed something to the effect that if they came off for anyone they would sor her, shook her hand again and saying, ‘Goodâ€"bye, Your Majesty,‘ I ran out." Michae!l Arlen (the novelistâ€"born an Armenian) : "I met Michael Arlen, whose answer to my inquiry as to what nationality he was, is typical; ‘I‘m the last of the Armenian atrociâ€" ties," he said!" Elsie Janis tells an amusing story about one of her youthful admirersâ€" the prandson of a wealthy brewerâ€"â€" who was a constant visitor at the Janis home, and whom she nicknamed "Happy," because of his smile. He it was (ske chuckles) who, when the San Francisco earthquake occurred, and his grandfather donated $100,000 to the relief fund, telegraphed that disâ€" tinguished philanthropist, "Remember, Governor, charity begins at home!" To which Happy, "who was busy cutting classes at Yale and capers in New York," replied, "If you were where I am, you would never go home!" The utter inability to recognize photographs of themselves, or of their surroundings, is characteristic of ail savages, says Martin Johnson (in "Congorilla: Adventures with Pygâ€" mies and Gorillas in Africa...) He tells of taking pictures of the Pygmies who accompanied him on a camera hunt for gorillas in the Congo, and afterwards showing them prints. "They would take these pictures," he says, "turn them upside down anc all around without the slightest conâ€" ‘ention az to what they wore." "I would display a perfect likeness cf one or more of a group, but ret a Pyzymy would recognize a person in the picture," he adds. "It was exactly the same with scenes. I could take a reprccuction of a native hut, show the scene of a Pygmy and also the picture. He would have no idea of what the photozraph meant and could not assoâ€" clate :t with the original." Reminiscences MORE PEEPS plaintive» ever have Curiously enough, some are able to grasp notion pictures, but show little interest in them. Mr. Johnson inâ€" stances a special show he gave the "boys" who had accompanied the expeâ€" aition. _ After watching the motioa picturetâ€"in which most of them apâ€" pearedâ€"silently, they talked together in low tones. Finally, one of them walked up to Johnson. "When do we get paid?" he asked. "Paid!" shouted Johnson. "What do you mean paid?" "Well, you told us to come here." "That was the native reaction to my efforts to entertain these Afrizan black ," comments Johnson. The publication of a book by Beau Brummell ("Male and Female Cosâ€" tume"), written over one hundred years ago when the "King of the Danâ€" dies" was at the height of his glory, recalls that it was said of him that "women admired him, but men almost reverenced him." The Beau ncser marâ€" ried, but that he was not indifferent to the companionship and charm of the ladies, there is ample evidence. Lewis Melville (in his "Life and Letâ€" ters" of Brummell) tells of an occaâ€" sion when the Beau i as staying at a country house. "I imust leave here this morning," he said unexpectedly to his host. "But," the other expostulated, "you were not going until the end of the week." "True; quite «rue," the Beau conâ€" curred, "but I really must be off." His host, however, was not satisâ€" fiec, and plied him with questions, vntil at last Brummell, in desperaâ€" tion blurted out: "Why, my dear fellow, so was 1 twenty years ago," remarked the lady‘s husband, hoping to put his ruest zt his ease. Then a thought struck him and he inquired: "Is she in love with you?" "Iâ€"I believe she is." "That alters the case," the host said with decision. "I will send for your postâ€"horses immediately." "Well, the fact is, I am in love with your wife." RIEWV PWTTME TR PRRRN OWR RPOOOW CCC NOC phone.

The hot climate which is naturally required for cotton plantations | is found in the Soviet Union, in central Asia and, to a lesser extent, in the Transâ€"Caucasus. But the Soviet Union is not satisfied with the present acreage under cotton cultivation and looks for new fields to develop. So a campaig~ of active exâ€" perimentation is being carried on for the purpose of discovering just what cotton needs for its successful growth. rossing Wheat _\ Said to Produce The road is to run direct from Lonâ€" don to Constantinople, a distance of nearly 2,000 miles, and in each country the authorities are being urged io make it a uniform width. Eight countries are combining in a scheme for making an internatioaal "\ighway across Europe for motorists. It is probable that a 24â€"hour cusâ€" toms service will be arranged in each of the eight countries, and new «usâ€" toms officers established by the roadâ€" side if the scheme is carried out.

In the big Paris railway station, the station master used to wave his flag, the guard blew his whistle, the driver let off a little steam, and the train slowly moved out. If, as you reached the platform, you heard the guard‘s whistle, you knew you had better be quick. But the activities of the antiâ€"naise campaign have changed all this. Trains now whistle only when it is strictly necessary. If the station is equipped with loudspeakers, all is well, for these warn you when the train is going to start, but if there are no loudspeakers, you must be alert or else before you realize it the train will have slipped silently away. A man may know his own mind and till not be very wise. Antiâ€"Noise in the Station A Road Ocross Europe Quality are the result of ' ET Rye Heat of Human Bodyâ€"High P CA Pressuresâ€"Birds vs. The human body has a temperature about 20 degrees Fahrenheit higher than that of a normally heated room. A hot body always imparts its heat to a colder body. Heat runs downhill like water, hence it follows that the human body must be giving up its heat to surrounding colder objects. Dr. L. B. Aldrich of the Smithsorâ€" fan Institution has been making @ E & To L kix spon The most striking effect of high pressure is the change of melting point. Thus, when mercury is subâ€" jected to 176,000 pounds pressure to the square inch it melts at ordinary room temperature. Many soft and pliable substances completely change their character under pressure. Under 60,000 pounds to the square inch oil becomes so stiff that it no longer flows. Paraffin wax becomes hardez than steel. In fact, Professor Bridgeman finds no difficulty under high presâ€" sure in making a piece of steel flow by pushing it with a piece of paraffin. Soft rubber becomes so hard that 1t can be used as a die to mold stecl. Professor Bridgeman has discovered six different kinds of ice, which can exist only at high presgure. COLLISIONS WITH BIRDS. When airplanes were slow a pilot gave little thought to the birds. Now that machines are faster than any livâ€" ing thing, birds have become a menâ€" ace,. Most airports lie in the country and are, therefore, infested with sleepy hawks, crows, buzzards and k‘tes, depending on their location. In. the pages of the British periodica‘!, The Aeroplane, a filyer reports an enâ€" counter with a kite only thirty feet from the groand. A propeller blade was torn off and the mach no turned over in a field. More stirring and dangerous was the encounter of a British Army of&â€" cer, at 1,500 feet, with a kiteâ€"hawk in India. A sudden shudder through the plane prompted him to make a rapid but careful landing. The ssading edge of the port bottom plane had been câ€"ushed by the blow. The kiteâ€"hawk itself was picked up by the mechanics. Every bone in its body was apparent‘y broken. The editor of The Acroplane is conâ€" vinced that "we shall arrive at a state of affairs when all vultures, eagles, kites and buzzards which ure too slowâ€" witted to get out of the way of airâ€" planes or so pugnacious tha. they acâ€" tack them have been killed oif in colâ€" lision." Not being a very good bioloâ€" gist, he also suggests that possibly a race of quickâ€"witted and peaceful birds will evolve after some airplanes have been wrecked with the loss of human lives.â€"W, K., in The NY Times Centipedeâ€""Why ?"
