THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1940
SUuDAY SCHOOL LESSOR
TRIUMPH OVER DEATH
International Sunday School Lesson
for March 24, 1940
GOLDEN TEXT: "Now hath
Christ been raised from,'the dead,
the first fruits of them that are
asleep." I Cor. 15:20.
(Lesson Text: Matthew 27:57; 28-6)
Having been arrested in the Gar
den of Gethsemane late Thursday
night, falsely charged, convicjted and
humiliated early Friday, and finally
escorted out to Golgotha, Jesus was
crucified between two malefactors,
Among those standing by, watch
ing the proceedings, probably smitten
to the heart by the cruelty and injus
tice rendered, was a rich man from
Arimathea, named Joseph, who, al
though he was a member of the Jew
ish Sanhedrin, had been impressed
by the teachings of Jesus and was
'VIesus' disciple." Courageously, this
man, in order to render a last act of
service to his Lord, went to Pilate
and asked for the body of Jesus.
Pilate granted his request.
Tenderly, the body of Jesus was
taken down from the cross, wrapped
in a cloth and borne to the private
garden nearby of this rich man and
laid in the new tomb which Joseph
had had hewn out in the rock. There
the body of Jesus was hastily pre
pared for burial because the work
had to be done before sunset and the
beginning of the Jewish sabbath, or
those touching the body would be
defiled and unable to observe the
sabbath.
The usual method of preparing a
body was to wrap it round and round
with a long linen cloth, laying spices
between the folds, the face being
left bare. Another cloth was twisted
turban-like, around the head. Joseph,
assisted bv Nicodemus, another
prominent Jewish leader who had
been a secret follower of Jesus, pre
pared the body of Jesus in the ap
proved manner, as quickly as they
could. Before leaving -the garden,
however, they were careful to see
that a heavy stone was placed before
the door of the tomb.
Outside the tomb, intensely inter
ested in the proceedings, were two
women, Mary Magdalene and the
other Mary, probably the mother of
James and Joses. They had minis
tered unto their Lord for three years
and were not willing to abandon him
even though he were dead.
It would seem that the Jewish
authorities, who had been responsi
ble for the arrest, trial and cruci
fixion of Jesus, would have been sat
isfied when they were convinced that
he was dead and safely put away in

Danger In Home-made
Electric Fence Cited
A warning to North Carolina
farmers to beware of the home-made
electric fence has been issued by
David S. Weaver, head of the De
partment of Agricultural Engineer
ing and Extension specialist of State
College. He says that all electric
fences present an element of danger,
but that the home-made device which
does not limit the amount of current
and which does not include a fool
proof controller to interrupt the flow
of electricity, is especially lethal.
"The recent death of a Wilson
County child who was electrocuted
by a fence on his f ather's - f arm fo
cused attention on the electric fence
now being widely used to restrain
livestock in the State," Prof. Weaver
stated. '"I wish to reiterate the po
sition of my department, and that of
the entire State College Extension
Service, thatall electric fences pre
sent definite safety problems, but
home-made electric fence devices are
especially dangerous."
The State College man said that
the Wilson County child died as a re
sult of coming in contact with a
home-made electric fence, which did
not allow for the fence , wire to be
charged intermittently, and which
had only a small electric bulb to re
duce the amount of current from a
110 volt line.
Electric fences manufactured by
reliable companies restrict the &
mount of current? and interrupt the
current at regular intervals in order
that a person or animal may be freed
from contact with the charged wire,
usually without fatal damage.
"I repeat the warning which we
have frequently issued that an elec
tric fence is extremely dangerous
unless it is properly made, correctly
installed, and carefully used," con
cluded Dr. Weaver.
Cotton Houses Seen For
South In Near Future
Eouses built from cotton are a
dream which may come true on a
large scale in the not far-distant
future, the National Cotton Council
has revealed ,' in reviewing V experi
mental work conducted with! cotton
building fabrics; f , , j ,
Denavtment of 'Agriculture! pynr-
iments in cotton house building' in the
south have shown that cotton cover
ings may be used ' successfully - on
both interior and exterior walla a
well as for . roofinir. Experiments
are awo being made with cotton fii-j
a rock tomb. Rut remembering Je
sus' many prophetic ' words that he
would rise from the dead on the third
day, they went back to Pilate, re
questing that he seal the tomb with
the official Roman seal and place an
armed guard there to make sure that
his disciples did not enter the tomb,
take away the body of Jesus and
then go about declaring that he had
risen from the dead.,. - The request
was granted; the great sepulchre
stone was sealed, and a guard of sol
diers placed before it.
Juat as soon as they could, after
the end of the Sabbath, Mary Mag
dalene and the other Mary returned
to the sepulchre with more spices to
anoint the body of their Lord, pro
bably feeling that the hasty prepara
tions were hot as complete as they
would like for them to have been.
Arriving at the sepulchre, they were
surprised to see the heavy stone
rolled away from the door and an
angel sitting on it. The angel told
them that Jesus, whom they sought,
was not there, but had risen, even as
he had said. After having seen with
their own eyes that what the angei
said was true, they were told to go
quickly and tell his disciples that
Christ had risen from the dead and
would meet them in Galilee.
lrembhng with excitement,
hardly able to comprehend what they
had seen and heard, burstincr with
joy in the fact that their Lord was
not dead, these women ran at once
to give the disciples news of what
had happened. As they were run
ning out of the garden, Jesus met
them, called unto them and quieted
them with the simple salutation, "All
hail." They fell down at his feet
and worshipped him. i
The authenticity of the Christian
faith stands or falls on the reality of
the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The
written records of the gospels carry
conviction, but there are other acts
even more conducive to faith. The
fact that the early followers of Jesus
changed from the traditional day of
worship to the first day of the week
in recognition of some great occa
sion to be commemorated is note
worthy. The transformation then
brought about in the conduct of his
disciples testified eloquently to some
new and dynamic source of faith and
confidence. Peter, who denied his
Lord three times in terror, after the
resurrection faced the opposition and
ridicule of the scribes and Pharisees
and courageous! pretched he Pente
costal sermon, winning thousands to
a belief in and acceptance of Jesus
Christ. So, also, Paul, after his
vision of the resurrected Christ,
changed from a persecutor to an ex
pounder of the new faith.
sulation material.
"Cotton "construction lends itself
to prefabrication and mass-produc
tion, it is aesthetically pleasing, and
it produces houses of neat and color
ful appearance," a Department of
Agriculture spokesman reports. "The
houses aTe also highly fjre-resistant;
and last, but far from least from the
Southern point of view, cotton houses
could provide an outlet for a consid
erable quantity of the present bur
densome surplus. We can hope, to
see the day when the South can be
housed in buildings made of material
grown on its own farms."
