Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS, Actlnff Director of
the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright. 1917, Wpstern Newapaper Unton.)
LESSON FOR APRIL 8
JESUS RAISED LAZARUS PROM
THE DEAD—EASTER LESSON.
LESSON TEXT-John 11:17-27, 43, 44.
(Read 17 to 44).
GOLDEN TEXT—Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life.—John
U:25.
This lesson occurred about two
months before the crucifixion, Jesus
being in Bethabara at the time of this
call (See John 10:40; 1:28). There
are four recorded cases of resurrec
tion from the dead: Jairus’ daughter
(Matt. 9), the son of the widow of
Nain (Luke 7), Lazarus, and also Je
sus after his crucifixion (John 20).
I* The Lesson of Unbelief. Bethany,
the home of Lazarus, is on the south
eastern slope of Mt. Olivet, two miles
from Jerusalem. Christ and his dis
ciples 'fc’ere on the east side of the Jor
dan, having been driven there by the
hostility of the Jews (John 10:31). He
purposely delays his stay in that place
that this event might give an oppor
tunity for the manifestation of his
wonder-working power. This delay
was in face of his supernatural knowl
edge that Lazarus’ sickness had been
fatal, for he said plainly to his disci
ples, “Lazarus is dead.” Philosophers
have often called death a sleep, but al
ways one from which there was no
awakening; hence the skepticism of
these sisters is not surprising. (1)
They limited the power of Jesus to his
person—“If thou hadst been here,” (2)
They also limited his power to a cer
tain place, “If thou hadst been here”
(V. 21).
II. The Lesson of Pain. The suffer
ing of these sisters produced sacrifice
and self-devotion. Suffering brings
blessing to others. It is also a means
of self-culture. Suffering drives us to
the Christ, and reveals to us the un
realized side of Christ’s character
(v. 25). Jesus Is often never more
kind than when he seems to be least
kind. In the midst of her skepti
cism and pain Jesus gave Martha a
new and glorious thought about the
resurrection. “I am the resurrection
and the life.” If we desire that, all
we have to do is to get Jesus himself
(I John 5:12). Resurrection has to
do with the body, and life has to do
with the spirit (John 17:3). All will
ultimately experience resurrection, but
only those who believe on him re
ceive life (John 3:SG). There is a
resurrection of life and there is a
resurrection of damnation (John
r»:29). Martha answered, “Yea Lord,
I believe that thou art the Christ, tlie
Son of God.” It Is all-important that
we should really believe that (Joha
20:31; I John 5:1-5).
III. The Lesson of Love. Love al
ways manifests Itself in deeds, Mar
tha secretly and quickly arose and
loft the wailing friends to go and
meet the waiting Master. “The Mas
ter Is come.” He still comes, and
calls to us, and, if, like Martha, we
.spring up gladly to meet him, he will
fill our lives with blessing and Joy. Je
sus came to these sisters individu
ally (vv. 21, 28), He had entered the
danger zone in order to be there
(v. 8), and It was Thomas, the
doubter, who wanted to accompany
him (v. 16). “Jesus wept,” not with ^
the wailing of professional mourners, j
but W’ith the silent, grief-stricken sis-1
ters. I
IV. The Lesson of Power. Jesus
had let natural causes work to their
fullest extent. Coming to the tomb,
Jesus said (v. 39), “Take ye away
the stone,” It was four days after the
death of Lazarus before he came
forth. Jesus was soon to die and
rise In three days after his entomb
ment. The stone had to be removed
from the tomb of Lazarus; it rolled
Itself away from the tomb of Christ,
The restrictions which Christ placed
upon his exercise of power, viz., that
he allowed Lazarus to die, to be
buried, and his body to reach the
point of putrefaction, and not to come
forth until Jesus himself, in his body,
was pre.sent at the tomb, emphasizes
the Icssou of the restraint of power
for the glory of God. Out of such
extreme circumstances of seeming im
possibility God manifested his glory
(Rom. 8:28).
Browning has given us a wonder
fully Imaginative picture of his re
newed life on earth:
And oft the man’s soul springs Into his
face
As If he saw again and heard again
Ilis sa^e that bade him rise.
And he did rise.
The effect of the miracle was two
fold, Many who W’ere present be
lieved on Jesus, others did not.
Some went to the Pharisees to
rehite what they had seen, only to
meet with rebuff.
The ronijiiiKler of the chapter Is oc
cupied wiili the plotting of the Phari
sees against Jesus, and from this
grave there stretches the shadow of
a cross upon the path of Jesus,
This miracle ranks next to Christ’s
own re.surrectlon as a decionstratioD
of imindrtalUy.

Easter in
Other Lands
OF ALL annual festivals among
Christian nations, Easter seems
to have made the most serious
impression, and the customs connected
with its first celebrations to have lin
gered the longest. Europe, with its
many nations, and, therefore, many
peoples, has ever been the scene of
various ceremonies distinctly belonging
to the separate countries, with the
Latin church always In the lead In the
matter of picturesque symbols and pro
cessions.
Strange customs, sometimes com
bined with elaborate ceremonies, are
found oftenest in the rural districts,
where the people have not free access
to the towns, and simplicity of living
does not question the difference be
tween truth and tradition.
In Brittany many interesting cus
toms are observed. It is a land of
legends. The very people, quaintly
dressed as they were a thousand years
ago, suggest legends and traditions.
When the faith of the Nazarene w’as
first preached to their ancestors they
held the mammoth stones which
abound in the fields and countryside in
deep veneration.
The church united stories of won
derful stones with the word of Christ,
so that its teaching might sooner de
velop converts. Fete days w'ere held
in high esteem, and many queer beliefs
and associations became entangled with
the festivals.
On Easter morning at the Church of
St. Croniey, In the village of FInistere,
Brittany, every man, woman and child
of the vicinity Is In attendance. The
women and children are in thefr best
frocks and snowiest caps, and the men
are leading the cattle to the door of
this church, which would do credit to
a city of size.
There the priest receives the men
and animals, and while the women clus
ter around, gravely listening, the cattle
are blessed and the care of St, Croniey
invoked In their behalf. This saint Is
a great favorite all over Brittany; and.
like so many traditions of the Bretons,
his story is connected with the giant
stones. It appears that he was a bish
op of Rome come up to the province
to convert the heathen.
He was hunted by wild men until
death seemed near, when suddenly ev
ery pursuer was turned into a stone,
and so they stand todhy, one group
forming a regular border along the
road from Carnac to Kerlescant,
Mounting many of these stones are
crucifixes and on Easter morning thf
little processions passing through the
fields and along the road to the near
est church stop and rest a few mo
ments and offer up an Easter prayer.
In scattered communities, where there
are few towns, an Easter service is
often held in the fields, and a sermon
preached from a wayside shrine, set in
one of the historical stones.
New Kind of Easter Eggs.
When the eggs have been boilec
hard and cooled, write names or drav
flowers, rabbits and the like on then
