MEANING OF EASTER 1 . - e (By Rev. O. L. Simpson, in The Methodist News Herald) Mature herself stages a resurrection in the Spring. Our **ter festival could not be kept appropriately at any other P>on. On the first day of the Lord flowers blossomed thick Coseph's garden, and nesting birds broke forth into joy and il g together before sunrise, the stone having been found roll away from a forsaken grave. Christ Himself declared: I v .. He that liveth; and I became dead; and behold I am alive 'evermore." o We know very well that to some good people the meaning nthe Resurrection is that there was no resurrection. But it )£ always been a puzzle to know how a good Christian can *ny the central, unique fact of Christianity and be a good tristian. Moreover, with all due deference to serious efforts explain away the fact, it is difficult to understand how one n continue to speak of a resurrection if nothing rose. There 'no other possible explanation of the testimony of twelve men face of bonds and stripes and death, except on the suppo jion that Christ did appear to His disciples after they had ..en Him die and had laid Him in His tomb. This does not ean that we can understand fully or analyze completely the c ystery involved. Why should we try? The amazing fact r ands forth. "To preach the fact of the resurrection was the first func *on of the evangelists; to embody the doctrine of the resur ection is the great office of the church; to learn the meaning *f the resurrection is the task not of one age only but of all." A THE SHEPHERD AND HIS WORK ;t • { Paper read by Rev. J. C. Gentry at the March meeting of the 3 Rutherford County Pastor's Association.) [ ? The leader of the flock of believers is known by many But the name most suitable to describe his work of leadership is shepherd. No leader of men can have purer pur pose and greater love for those whom he leads than that which fc is in the heart of the shepherd who is not a hireling. The shepherd does not and can not care for his sheep from r his front porch or medicine closet or shearing barn. It is true J these are necessary, but the shepherd must be in the field with *the sheep to guide them in feeding, to lead around the danger- pitfalls and offset the enemy. Then, when this is done, the r weak and lame need special care and the lost must be d "I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd giveth his glife for the sheep," is setting a precedent for every one who Answers the call: "Come follow me." Therefore, the work of the shepherd or pastor is to know the sheep by name, the needs r and longings of each. To know this is no secluded task, but a e task to be finished among those for whom the shepherd or i pastor labors. i The minor part of the pastor's duty is often counted as the major, such as marriages, funerals, baptizing babies and mak • ing strangers feel at home. This is a part and essential part, but the duty of the shepherd is more far-reaching. The sick , need cheer and comfort, the dying need soothing, the despond ' ent need reviving, the hungry need to be guided to the food ' for their souls and directed in the building and care for their bodies, and the priceless souls that are lost must be found if the will of the Good Shepherd is done. The shepherd or pastor is a watchman upon a tower. It is his duty to scan the country around to detect the approach of the enemy, to give the alarm, and go bravely, cautiously and with the Sword of the Spirit defeat the enemy. Then, not send the flock before, but be willing, qualified and ready to go before to guide around the snares and pitfalls, to break the bread of life, and follow the Lord as he would that the flock follow the shepherd.

Hoyle was destroyed by fire Saturday night, the damage be ing approximately $9,000 with only a half insurance coverage. Just how the fire originated Mr. Hoyle is un able to say. The fire had gone out in the stove sometime before he left the store at 10 o'clock. About 10:30 o'clock, young men passing say the flames eating its way through the eave of the house and gave the alarm. Mr. Hoyle and other neighbors hur ried to the scene and formed a bucket brigade, but by that time the fire had gained such headway that it was beyond their control and in a few minutes the entire building was in a mass of flames. Nothing whatever was saved from the burning building. Mr. Hoyle said his stock of general merchandise inventoried about $7,- 000 while the frame building was worth $2,000, making a total loss of about $9,000 with insurance of only half their value. The burning store threatened a number of other buildings nearby but none of the others were damaged to any extent. The home of Miss Belle Grigg caught but the fire was ex tinguished and the fire-fighters had to keep the walls wet of the R. A. ffarejßjEMJEi™ Horn's Gash Store FOREST CITY, N. G. Hord and son store and the corn mill to save them from catching. It was a quiet night with no March wind, otherwise the flames would have wrought a greater damage. A thousand or more people saw the flame for miles away and gathered at the scene but they were powerless to do anything except save the adjacent buildings. Big Lighthouse Organization.
