' It's strange isn't ibh to think of
God's becoming man? - - To think
that He Was born a helpless infant,
just as we are born helpless infants;
that He - grew from childhood to
manhood; that He ate and drank,
shivered - and ; perspired; -that at
times He got tired aid set down
to rest; that He died and was bur
ied like any son of man.''
He did it, He told us, to be our
example in all things.; And that is
the key to His resurrection. If He
was our example In life, then He
was our pathfinder in death, too.
We can't believe that, lie set aside
His humanity at the resurrection.
No, the tomb was empty; He bad
His human body with - him. The
difference is that it was now glori
fied. Notice bow the apostles were
tempted to believe that. He was no
longer man; but Our Lord pointed
ly ate dinner, with Jthem to show
that He .waa still human,' because
everyone knows that a ghost has no
stomach. :; Another V me, , He had
Thomas push his finger into - the
nail-holes and drop his hand Into
His slit side. You cant feel any
ghost, and Thomas seemed to have
been satisfied that It was his friend
Jesus Christ, for he dropped to Ms
knees at once and cried out - - "My
Lord and My God." '
Then this is our ordinary human
destiny: to be born, to die, and to
rise again. That is the only con
clusion we can logically draw, es
pecially in. view of - Our Lord's
many assertions during His life
time - - "I am the resurrection and
the life: he that believeth in me,
although he , be dead shall live;
and everyone that ltveth and be
lieveth: in me shall hot die for
ever (John. 11:23-

might have chanced jrom maiji

body in the grave and lushed Wer

He takes witlT Him the body we
know,; 'the face1 kissed by 3udas,
and the feet anointed by Magde
lene. It is the same Jesus before
and after. So that if His previous
life was: like ours and a pattern
for ours, than this present life, this
risen life, is a token, a pattern, a
demonstration of what we are des
tined to expeience in the life to
come. , 'V..

those needing special eye services.
Furthermore, braces and special
shoes have been purchased for

for 'two, cars to be sent on t: e
monthly trips to Goldsboro becau:
of the number of children expected

education is carried on by q-.ia:.-fied
