The Christian has more than "an intimation of eternity." In stead of a yearning, supported though it be by analogies in nature he has a positive assurance that Jesus became ' the first fruits of them that slept." Unconvincing as the proofs cited by St. Paul in Corinthians and Galaiians and ihe stories of the Evangelists might he, standing alone, the greatest spirit ual phenomenon in history gives the scoffer pause. We refer to ihe transformation in the character and conduct ol the Galilean peas ants, after their dream of a new kingdom and their hope of power and place were shattered by the crucifixion of their leader as a crim inal. They were huddled togeth er in an upper chamber, dreading the same fate. Suddenly they were turned into the boldest, most unselfish, most fervent preachers of a risen Christ, defying the pow er of Rome and oflhe priestly crew at Jerusalem. They testified to the resurrection and ascension and counted it a glorious privilege to seal their testimony with their blood. They had neither the pow er nor the purpose of imposture They welcomed dungeons, scourg ings, fire, sword, caldrons of burn ing oil and cruel crosses, crying, wiih faces shining like unto those of angels, in the words of their earliest persecutor and their great est convert: O death, where is thy sting? U grave, where is thy victory?" Jkwish War Relief Fund. The following have contributed to Jewish Relief fund for suffering families in ihe war zone: H. Farber. Weldon, $10.00 Wm.
