SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON ' ETERNAL LIFE * (Easter) International Sunday School Lm> ton tor March tt. IMS GOLDEN TEXT: "This is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." ? John 17: 3. L? on Taxi: Colo? is n? 3: l-4? 12-17; I John St 11. While Easter takes its name from a pagan celebration of the very distant past, it embodies the greatest joy of the Christian believer, because it commemor ates the resurrection of Jesus and carries with it an assurance of personal immortality. Christians identify Easter with the ressurection of their Lord. Having been arrested in the Gar den of Gethsemane late Thurs day night, falsely accused, con victed and humilated early Fri day, he was finally escorted out to Golotha where he was cruci fied between two knalefactors. His body was placed in the tomb by Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, where it lay from late Friday afternoon until his I ressurrection early on the first day of the week, called by us, Sunday. A group of women, who had known and loved Jesus, went to , the tomb early on Easter morn ing, weeping because they had lost one whom they loved so much. They were suffering the sadness that is probably the most common sadness that people know, that of parting from a loved one by death. However, the joy that came to them in the knowledge that Jesus had risen from the dead is one that is shared by many. Because Jesus rose, we believe we shall rise al so. This belief should do much to dispel the fear that many people have of passing through the shadow of death. A personal faith in immortality is the strongest possible incen tive for living properly. Rufus M. Jones declares. "The business of loving or hating, of being pure or impure, of spreading peace or of weaving bitterness into the fabric of life is eternal business. For all the time as one acts, one is forming the atmosphere in which he is going to live eter nally . . . This life and the life beyond are not two things but one, or at least parts of one whole." Paul, in his writings, shows clearly that he has no use for that type of individual who thinks of the life and immortality which Christ brought to light as something to be enjoyed only after death. # He knew that here and now, amid all the struggles and trials and temptations of this present life, the faithful rise with Christ from the death of sin to newness of life. This new life must be lived faithfully every day, and cannot be put on and taken off as one would a new garment. The Christian clothes himself, at the beginning of each day, with unselfishness, compassion ate kindness, patience and for giveness. Inner peace will show' itself in peace with all men asi one practices the presence ot Christ in the life. I DECK ENAMEL ?

How may one know that he is eternal ly saved? John answers by giv ing at least seven reasons: (1) Because we believe in Jesus Christ (1 John 5:1). (2) Because we are obedient to him (1 John 2:36.) (3) Because we have been given spirtual insight. (John 2:20). (4) Because we have been enabled to persevere (1 John 2:19). (5) Because we have been strengthened to overcome the power of sin (1 John 3: 6, 9). (#) Because we love the brethren (1 John 3:14). And, (7) Because we have the Spirit of God in our hearts (1 John 3: 24). t Lyman Abott, in The Other Room, declares: "The difference between the mortal and immor tal life is not made by death. The immortal life is the life 4hich toain, sickness, and death cannot terminate. It is the life of faith, of hope, of love. Such life is im mortal life, because mortality cannot touch H. The body is al ways dying; it is in an ever-per petual process of decay; it is not mortal. It is eternal because . it stands in no time-relation; not because it begins beyond the con fines of time, ? there are no con fines, ? but because it has no time-boundaries. "All life has its laws. If we obey the laws of the spiritual life we have a right to spritual life. There are laws of the body; and if one complies with these laws, he has a right to health. So there are laws of the spirit; and if one obeys them, he has a right to expect spiritual life, which, because it is the life of the spirit, is a deathless life." WAITER CLEANSTABLE ALSO THE CASH BOX Pittsburgh ? A large down town restaurant closes on Sun days, but passer-by didn't see lanything unusual about a ihan cleaning up tables.
