We should certainly be grateful for
three resurrection lessons In succes
sion, but even thirtj - such would do us
uo good if we do not see ourselves as
crucified with Him and risen with
Elim and our life'bid with Christ in
God, that so our affections may be set
A>n things above .and our hearts upoi>
the appearing with Him in glory (Col.
iii, I*4). The more fully we are grasp.-
ed by the great truth of His resurree
tion the more earnestly will we pray
the prayer "that I may know Hlr»i
and the-, power of nis resurrection"
(Phil, iii, 10, 11), for uuless our re
ception of Him as the one crucified
and risen for us and our intimate ac
quaintance with Him as tiie ascended
Christ, our great High Priest, lead to
a reproduction of His life In us He is
not having the right of way in our
lives, as He desires to have. As His
whole life was covered by the one
word "submission," so must ours be.
"Submit to God. Resist the devil."
That there is no salvation, nti for
giveness of sins, no gospel to preach,
if Christ be not risen is fully s6t forth
in 1 Cor. xv. The emphasis given to
it by the apostles in their preaching is
seen iu such passages as Acts ii. 24,
32; iii, 15, 26; iv, 10; v, 30; xli, 23, 33.
etc. At His death the sun was dark
ened, the earth did quake, the rocks
rent, the graves were opened, and all
nature seemed to groan in abhorrence
of such a deed; but, as we saw iu the
last lesson, the hardened heart of siu
ful man could scoff at and deride Him
who was suffering for the sins of
those very men. He died, the just
for the unjust His body was laid in
Joseph's new tomb by the kind hands
of two -secret disciples, who in that
hour of emergency became bold for
Him. His enemies remembered that
He had said that He would rise again
the third day, and so with Pilate's ap
proval they made the tomb as sure as
they could, sealing the stone* and set
ting a watch (Matt, xxvii, '32-66). To
mere human eyes it looked as if the
devil had the »ictory and the impostor,
as the scribes and Pharisees thought,
had been finally disposed of. But at
all'man's thoughts and purposes "He
that sitteth In the heavens shall laugh;
the Lord shall have them in derision"
(Ps. ii, 4).
At the appointed tinje on the third
day He came forth victorious over sin
and death and the grave, and He
showed Himself alive by many infalli
ble proofs during forty days, speaking
»T the things pertaining to the king
dom of God (Acts I, 3). There is no
opic more plain In Scripture and yet
•ess understood by preachers generally
tud, of course, by the majority who
isten to them than the kingdom of
God or of heaven, which our Lord
[limself described as the will of God
done on earth as in heaven. It is de
scribed as including all the nations
upon earth, all kings bowing down to
Jesus as King of kings and all the
uations worshiping Him as the Mes
siah of Israel, they having become a
righteous nation at His appearing 1%
glory and all nations blessed through
them. Then we who now accept Him
and serve Him and follow Him shall
In our resurrection bodies reign with
Ilim in His kingdom. Inasmuch as
our mortal bodies shall be made like
unto His glorious body, for we shall
be like Him (Phil, ill, 21; I John ill, 2),
it becomes to us a matter of the great
est possible Interest to note the pow
ers and-the nature of His resurrection
body. Our special lesson to day, al
though It mentions only one of His
appearances, really covers four —that
to Mary Magdalene, to the other wom
en, to Simon Peter and to the two who
walked to Emmaus. We have called
attention to the fact of there being no
redemption apart from His resurrec
tion, but redemption will be found to
include our bodies also at the resurrec
tion of the just (I Cor. xv, 51). Al
though He forbade Mary to touch Him
because, as He said. He was then on
ttls way to His Father in His risen
k body. He allowed the other women to
hold Him by the feet and to worship
Him (Matt, xxviii, 9); therefore the
resurrection body was a real, tangible,
material body, as we shall see more
fully in the two succeeding lessons.
We gather nothing of the nature of
that body from His appearing to Pe
ter, for we have only the record of the
fae't (Luke xxiv, 34), but from His ap
pearance to the two who walked to
Emmarus we learn that He w>lked as
they did and sat at meat with them In
the "house and took bread aad blessed
and brake it Then He did something
which they In their mortal bodies
could not do—He vanished out of their
sight. This we shall also be able to
do when we have bodies like His.
One prominent truth in connection
with His resurrection talks is that we
grieve Him greatly when we fall to be-)
lieve what is written concerning Himj
The angels said to the women, He
risen, as He said," and He
told the two men on the way to
maus that they y * r**
lieve all that the prophets had written
of Him, which thiugs He expounded
unto them. It is written in our lesson
concerning Peter and John that they
not the Scripture concerning Hl«
J r*strt , rection (verse 9).
Good Digestion.
Blest is the man whose stomach
power
Digests bread made of meal or
flower
And every kind of food
Whose cook can bake, fry or boil
Whether at rest, play or toil
This appetite is good.
Of vegatables he eats his fill
Like running sausage through a
mill
Just anything you please
Consumes all trash that he may
find
Of every name and every kind. .*•
Digesting all with ease.
Ham; eggs, cheese and cod fish
balls
Just anything for which he calls
Souse meat and liver stake
Boloney sausage by the pound •
He gulps it all in like a hound
And has no stomach ache.
Celery, peas and cantelope
Green corn, beans and tomato
soup
Salids and tater slaugh
I&e cream, ice tea and chocolate
He dumps in pound cake by the
plate
In his capacious mouth.
Mark well this man his life is
bliss
The girls would all give him a
If they hi d a good chance,
kiss
His rudy beaming cheerful face
So much admired in every place
With radiant countenance.
Not so with him that can't digest
He is a failure at his best
With sallow stringy neck
With whuzzing voise he tries t«
t&lk
Uncertain, nerveous shambling
walk
Phisically a wreck. /

Prosperity.
This is the season when those
estimateingtheprosepectsof pros
perity may be said to have their
hand on the pulse,of our nation.
Those sections of the country
where the great crops are raised,
are closely watched at this sea
son of the year. The reports
from these sections, so far. are
indeed incourafcing.
„ Kansas and Missouri have sent
out glowing reports of the wheat
crops in that section. The in
sects, sometimes so destructive,
have not made their appearance
this year and rain has been
abundant.
Nebraska's wheat crop is enor
mously large Minnesota, the Da
kotasand lowa send out optimistic
reports. The crops ®f Okla
homa and Texas are in excelent
condition and the Southwest
and Northwest have a favorable
outlook.
These things are encouraging
because hardtimes must be ac
companied or preceeded by de
pressing conditions in the re
gions from which the world's
supply of food comes and a boun
tiful crop in these regions is the
surest sign of future prosper
ity.

Mark Twain On Money.
In a speech at a dinner in New
York, Mark Twain said that the
recent financial panic was caused
by the removal from the coinage
of the motto, "In God we TVust,"
Mark, afterwards, of course cor
rected this by saying, "Of course
lam joking." The panic was
caused by a wrong - idea of the
use and value of money, ,• That is
the cause of all money troubles.
The spend-thrift says, money
beiug round, was made to roll,
The miser says that, being flat,
it was made to stack up. Both
are wrong. Strangely wrong, too,
in their ideas about money are
the veteran Austrialian gold
diggers. These simple old fel
lows, though, worth perhaps a
half million or more, live* in the
simple dugouts and shauties of
their earlier days.
They have no conception of
the value for their money they
could get in the way of motor
cars, dismonds or opera boxes.
Their conception of luxury is a
trip to town, a silk dress for the
wife and maybe a whiskey
spree.
"Once lecturing, I landed at
an Australian port. There was
no porter in sight to carry my
luggage. Seeing a rough-looking
fellow leaning against a post
with his hands in his pockets, I
beckoned to him and said: 'See
here, if you'll carry these bags
up to the hotel, I'll give you half
a crown. The man scowled at
me. He took three or four gold
sovereigns from his pocket,
threw them into the sea, scowled
at me again and walked away
without a word." -

One Clever Lad.
There was once a prince whose
father was a famous general and
king over a very large province.
Ac one time the king made war
against another king, and hav
ing defeated his army, captured
his kingdom and added it to his
own. To the boy prince this
seemed very discouraging for he
was sure his father would cap
ture all kingdoms in the world
and there would be none left for
him when he grew up to be a
king. Today the prince's mis
take seems amusing, for we know
he had no conception of the real
size of the world.
Now, it happens that even to-
there are young people yho
make the same mistake in think
ing that all the great things
that are worth doing have been
done; all the great discoveries
made; all the strange countries
have been visited; all the grana
inventions finished, and all that
is wourth finding out has already
been printed in books. Let us
see what one young man has
done. There is, in one,, of the
great scientific schools, a student
who, when fifteen years old, be
eran the study of a new science
called wireless telegraphy. Man
learned and able men* both here
and in Europe had studied the
laws of Nature that govern the
mysterious waves that in wire
less telegraphy seem to fly from
shipto ship or from shore to shore
over land [and sea. They had
invented curious machines where
with they could send telegraphic
messages from placa to place
without wire.
Walter J. Willenborg learned of
all that had been done in this
new science, yet he did not sit
down idle and discouraged. He
decided to try to learn in his own
way, at his home all that was
known, and then he would try to
learn more.
Fortunately, Walter's fatKer
saw that his son was in earnest,
and he fitted up for him a little
room adjoining his bedroom as a
laboratory and a work shop, and
Walter began his work bright
and early in the morning and
saw his books, tools and papers
the last thing at night. Before
long he began to plan a wireless
telegraphic station in his own
work shop at the top of the
house. These things were to be
of his own invention, though, of
course based upon some of those
already in use. In time, he learn
ed to be a master operator with
apparatus used in the new science
Curious to see what could be
done on a very small scale, he

invented and made a portable
wireless telegraphic station that
he could carry about in his pock-'
ets. From the top button of his
coat he hung a slender wire that
re ached the ground and so ar
ranged that when he walked a
long the country road the wire
would trail ur>©n the ground be
hind him. In his pocket he car
ried a little battery. On a bit of
board, as big as your hand, he
placed a complete wireless trans
mitting apparatus, induction coil,
baby sounder, and all, supporting
this faiay telegraph station by
fastening it to a belt around his
waist. From this travelling sta
tion he sent messages from a
country road to his folks at home
eight miles away in town, telling
them where was going, and that
he would reach home in time for
supper.—Ex.
A Strange Woman,
A very small unmarried woman
weighing only three hundred
pounds accopanied by her hus
band came into an upstairs room
on the first floor of this office
carrying an empty basket contain
ing a pug-dog, a cat, and a parr«t.
The woman (who by-the-way,
was bareheaded) had on a merry
widow hat worth one dollar,
which she had bought at a greatly
reduced price, having paid two
dollars and a half for it.
She was looking for her son who
had disappeared the night before
at seven in the morning. She stat
ed that her son, a female about
sixteen years old' went in the
direction of Morganton, and at
the speed he was going when
last seen, he ought, by that time
be in Statesviie. Anyone posses
sing information of the lost child
will report same by letter
to this office in person.
H Nature has provided the stomach
with certain natural fluids known as the
digestive juices, and it is through
these juices that the food we eat is
acted upon in such a way as to produce
the rich, red blood that flows through
the veins of our body and thereby
makes us strong, healthy and robust,
and it is the weakening- of these
digestive juices that destroys health.
It is our own fault if we destroy our
own health, and yet is so easy for
anyone to put the stomach out of
order. When you need to take /
something take it promptly, hut take
