Thomas Delivers Effective Sermon at Matins Service Easter . Morning. Six o’clock matins services at St. James Lutheran Church yesterday morning were interesting and impressive as the sun light of the early morning filtered through the stained glass windows on the bowed heads of the worshippers gathered “to do homage to the risen Lord.’’ Rev. L. A. Thomas spoke impressive ly,, on “Christ Risen,” bringing a message in which he declared that "Christ risen means victory. With the joyous Easter song fresh on our lips, with Christ fresh in our hearts, what can we want beside. This is the day of joy, of hope, of life.” • .Special numbers were rendered by the choir, “The Love of Christ” by Emer son. a traditional “Hallelujah” which Frieda Hempel sang on her appearance in' Concord, and a solo by Sam Goodman, “I Know That My Redeemer Liveth” by Handel. Miss Helen Patterson and Sam Goodman did solo work in the anthems. , Adult confirmation of five persoas was made at this service. The text of Mr. Thomas’ sermon was as follows. -'Matthew 28:6: He is not here; for He is' risen, even as He said. How unlike this morning are you, worshippers of the living God. to those who first came early to the tomb of our Lord. “As love and hope flow mingled down” they came. Sor row and love are late to the couch and egrly bestir. And did ever such love and sorrow meet, or impracticle zeal com i m i ii 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 1 * GALVANIZED ROOFING | I 29 Gauge 5 Crimp I ’ Justin, , I ’ $5.00 per Square We give you nails and washers for I I putting it on.

With heavy hearts were they driven away by the oncoming darkness the evening of the crucifixion. How restless they must have been, im patient of the long weary hours of the last day of the week. Our imagination need not go afield to think of their busy ing themselves with the preparation for the next morning. Even Peter, after he had seen the Lord, allowed his old impetuosity. to get the better of him while.he waited for His reappearance on the banks of Galilee. With all provision provided for the honor which they wished to show the buried Lord, these faithful women march with the dawn towards the tomb;* As an instance of the primal object of their meditation on provision had been made to remove the stone which eneolsed the suplchre. If precaution had been made by the Roman government so that the most determined effort on the part qf friend or foe could not remove it, how would the feeble hands, weakened by. the strain of sorrow’, expect to gain en trance to the buried Rabboni? BOt such often is love’s prodigality. They are seeking first the King and the Kingdom, assured that all other things necessary would be administered unto them. What faith. What love. What measured devotion. “God chose the fool ish things of the world that He might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that He might put to shame the things that are strong; and the base things of ■ the world, and the things that are de i spised, did God choose, yea, and the things that are not, that He might bring • to naught the things that are: that no flesh should glory before god.” Never were the words of God more perfectly fulfilled than in this record. So my fellow worshipers, so many of whom have come here this morning, I want us to meditated on and worship the Risen Christ. Especially, you, precious souls, new born children in God’s won derful kingdom, yon who are going to be confirmed, who are going to make your public confession of your faith, trust and ■ hope in this-i same Christ, may the empty tomb, the angel’s voice, the risen, appear ing Lord, bring you a message that will send you rejoicing not only today, but all through the weary days of file, fill you with a conviction that will ever be ■ undaunted, a faith that will never waver, ■ a love that will ever grow richer, a de votion akin to that of these early wor shipers. wholly set upon the Lord. There are three thoughts which corse - in our minds this morning, which we shall present briefly, in order: Christ risen: / 1. The central theme of salvation. 2. The perpetual joy of the Christian. 3. The effectual hope of eternity. First—The central theme of salvation. When Christ was bor nthe angels united their songs with the morning stars and sang: Joy to the world, the Lord is come. In the advent, season we sing: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning. In- the Lenten season our music assumes a minor, and the refrain: Alas and Did My Savior Bleed, keeps coming back to us as expressive of our feeling. But on Easter morning, or re joicing find expression in “victory”: The strife is o’er, the battle done; the victory of life is won; the song of triumph has begun. Alleluia. Lift up your heads, ye gates, and let the King of Glory come In. Who is the King of Glory, the Lord of Hosts? He is the King of Glory. We rejoice in the birth of Christ, with a joy unspeakable. Our hearts sorrow ed with a holy- sorrow ill His’ passion and sufferings, as the sacred Writer puts it, we suffered with Him, At. the. cross we felt the burden of our sins : roll away when He said, “It is finished.’’ But our assurance needs no staying np, our joy knows no bounds when Christ is risen. Paul declared that he was de termined to know nothing save Jesus Christ and is crucified. But in that was included the, whole mediatorial word, the whole redemptive work of Christ. So he says, “And if Christ hath not been raised then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain,” Hopeless, worthless, ye are yet in your sine, un saved. ’ Rob the world of the risen Christ and you take away all that you can ever expect for salvation. A Christ who died is a redeeming Christ, a Christ risen is a saving Christ. But how can you be lieve in the resurrection if yon do not | believe in a Divine Christ? ’ If Christ ■be not Divine, as many teach now, how can he rise of His own power? . If He I rose not of His own power, then He can not raise us. The resurrection of Christ Ila a fact that the “Ultras” and the “Supers” must dispose of before they I I prove a pet theory. Yon come *hr meaning attesting your faith is the whole Christ, is His complete personality. THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE Coming with such a well rounded, Simple faith you receive the unquestioned as surance of salvation^. Second—The perpetual joy of the Christian. That -was a simple message of the angel’s. O, So quietly delivered There are no fluorines, no attempt at show, nor anything aimed at attracting attention to with what a thrill he was filled? What vigor and certainty ids statement carries. There is no disoussiijh, almost a reproof, no not that but a Moving, sympathetic message filled with the joyous news which these people, which we want, but feared to hope for. All so Divine, anil yet how human. Christian, what a begin ning of a new day, What a beginning of a new life. What thoughts do you suppose filled their minds that day? What was the feeling of each heart towards the word, towards those disciples who fell by the wayside, who fled in the hour of trial; what was their thoughts towards the memory of poor, miserable baragining Judas; , what was their attitude towards Caiaphas, Herod, Pilate, the Roman gov ermtnt, the Jewish Sanhedrin? The past to them was past. That was all yesterday. Today. O, today all is joy. Alleluia, He is Risen. And you who have so recently made your confession of this risen Savior, to you He has come na the everliving- per petual joy, springing np in your souls every hour. So possessed should every one of us become with this heavenly gift, this Easter gift, that the world would ring anew with the songs of joy. And while we labor, while we strive, while we suffer, like His faithful disciples in the prison, raise the..hymns of joy that we are not only counted worth to be His, but. worthy to suffer for Him. Never more shall we weep,<rr pine. He, has come to wipe away ill tears. He is risen. He is not here, come see the place where He lay, but go and bear the glad tidings of His resurrection. Third—The effectual hope of eternity. Eternity. Well may we use the word? Have we not jnst been faced with the fact of it?. . “Here lice” can never be written on the tomb of man, it was not written on Christ!} tomb. ' Death is but a narrow connection between two larger bodies on whiih for a brief mo ment we balance ourselves then pass on from one to the other. The resurrec tion is but laying the foundation on which our hope for the life to come is built To Paul the future was indeed dark without the risen Christ, it cannot be brighter for us. If Christ’s body is still in the rock-hewn tomb then is our preaching vain, our sins are yet unfor given, the dead have only returned to old \ mother earth from which they came, and 1 we are of all men most misreable. But ! Christ is risen. The empty tomb telle ! us; it cannot lie. Conviction tells us. i All heaven bears witness to the fact J This is our sure and only hope for eter- i nity. With this devotion and conviction J born, not alone of an historical Christ ’( but of a living Christ we are prepared ] for whatever life may bring to us. Con fident always that He ever liveth to I make intercession form, I know that my J Redeemer liveth, and while He livee no evil can permanently, befall me, and that I shall live also. Christ in the grave J means that the price of our sin has been , met, Christ risen means victory. With the joyous Easter song fresh on our lips, with Christ fresh in our hearts, what can we want beside? This is the day of joy, of hope, of life. £ At the Theatres.
