Humanity’s Oldest Question Answered By Easter Truth Baffled And Bewildered Science Has No Key To The Riddle Os Immortality — Only The Bible Speaks Clearly — A Traveller’s -Easter On Jerusalem’s Wall.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS

oldest question wan I never more insistent or debated than today—“lf a man die, will he live again.’’ Before the first stone of the pyramids was lai<l —themselves a huge evidence of human faith in a hereafter —man was pondering this deepest of problems. Everybody tackles the puzzle at some time or another. Youth, cock- 1 sure of Its own conclusions, debates the issue with itself; old age finds that it precedes all other interests. If this flesh-and-hlood life which we are living today is but the vestibule to a larger, freer, diviner life that we are to live through endless aeons, then all questions of character and conduct must be determined in the white light of eternity. But if man is born but to die, and if death ends all, then we may "eat, drink and be merry," without the sublime inspirations and inhibitions of an endless life beyond the grave. Jarring Voices, Unce r taln Tones Not many weeks ago a Chicago professor proclaimed that there was no Creative Force behind the universe; it just happened; and so there are no spiritual or moral implications in it. Even the wisecracking newspaper paragraphers paid no attention to this exhibition of folly. Indeed the world is weary of the curious and incomprehensible theories of scientists concerning man’s spirit and destiny. The physicists speak with jarring voices and uncertain tones upon the 1 greatest theme that has ever engrossed the mind of man. Yesterday an editor friend handed me a little book, by an author recently dead, who undertook to expound the mystery of eternity. The writer had evidently been under the influence of occult teachers, and he had tried to master the conflicting views of science. All the conclusion to which he had come was a confusing jargon of "patterns of electricity," which might mean life! In vain we search the test-tubes and retorts and miscroscopes and telescopes of science for a reply to the question that throbs in every mortal mind. Clearly, the answer is not there. Worthier of credence is the irresistable and eneradlcable impulse planted in the heart of hu- ♦ **»«•* ♦ The International Sunday School Lesson for April 21 is: “The Future Life.” — Luke 24:1-12: John 14:1-6. * * » • » • »

manlty of every race and condition. The Book Os Life But surest of all —and the only clear and explicit answer given to us concerning the problem of immortality—is the plain teaching of the Bible. The poet’s "Intimations of Immortality" are indefinite; but the Scriptures are categorical and certain. In them, from first to last, we find the refrain of a life that embraces troth time and eternity. It we want to discover the one formulated basis of man’s hope of a life personality, of a future of bliss, of a reunion of souls, we must turn to the old Book that gave our forebears fortitude for living and faith for dying. The strain of immortality breathes through the Old Testament. Enoch and Elijah passed into the portals of the larger life without going through the gates of the grave. David affirmed that he would go to his dead child. The Psalms are suffused with the idea of heaven as a cure for the ills of earth. In their keen sense of justice, the prophets invoked eternity to redress the wrongs of time. But it is when we come to the New Testament, and the plain words of Jesus, that we get the clearest promise of a future life wherein all is well. When Ilin group of intimate friends, His real family, were grieving over the impending separation which He had predicted— as every family and friendship must ultimately be broken up—Jesus comforted them with the familiar words, baaed on the Father nature of God. "In My Father's house are many abiding places" — homes that never break up. He did not use word which means "mansion” in our speech; His thought was to put into apposition to the transitoriness of this life the permanence of the life into which He was returning, to prepare a place for them. It would be earth’s best, perpetuated, purified and perfected. This, then, we know about the future life of all friends of Jesus: It is in the Father’s presence. It is fitted to the new needs of each. It is permanent. It is a release and a reward and a reunion. It is a thing of joy and a place of service. It is free from all of life’s misunderstandings, limitations and burdens. It is in the personal nearness of the Saviour Himself, Who is the Way to the Father’s house. The Eeaster Pledge This Easter Lesson, which so many millions will study anew, comes opportunely at a time when the thoughts of men seem to be turning with increased avidity to spiritual concerns. On the day that

this lesson will be studied, millions of persons will have gone to mountain top and seashore, to field and forest and church, for Easter sunrise services. This is a new development in the life of the western world; and it has profound significance. Not for nothing do men and women arise from their beds a great while before day in order to meet with great companies of theelr fellows to greet the dawn of the day that commemorates the Resurrection. These widespread Easter sunrise services are a token of the immortal hope in the breasts of humanity. Easter repeats the life-message of Jesus. “Because 1 live, ye shall live also.” "I am the resurrection and the life." It is His pledge of immortality. For in the resurrection from the tomb, Jesus gave an earnest of the rieing ago in of all who follow Him In life and in death. On The Jerusalem Wall One never-to-be forgotten Easter morning, a few years ago, I stood with Mrs. Ellis alone on the northern wall of Jerusalem, and watched the sun rise over the Mount of Olives and noted the awaking of the city to the celebration of its greeat day. We were within calling distance of all of the events of the first Easter morning. Somewhere to the north of us three crosses had once been lifted up. Nearby had been the new tomb of Joseph or Arimathea, where the soldiers had mounted guard over the still form of the Crucified. The streets hereabouts had echoed to the hurrying feet of the loyal, weeping i women, bearing spices for the body I of their Beloved. Somewhere along here had raced impetuous Peter |and John, after they had heard the women’s startling tidings of an empty tomb. And hard by where we were standing the angel had said I “He is not here: He is risen" — the most momentous words ever spoken to human ears. As the sun rose, the bells of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and of other ehnrehee, jubiliantly sounded the Easter message. The streets | became busy with devout ChristI ians, of all colors and costumes and creeds, hastening to celebrate the day of days amidst these associations. Over all the growing activity, and over our own devotions, there brooded in my mind the universal truth, unrelated to place or time, “He is not here; He is risen" The Resurrection is not only a historical fact, but also a present expferienc; and the one sure guarantee that man’s great enemy, death, has been defeated; and that mortal destiny includes two worlds.

Has ‘‘Typical Mother” Changed? W ■»" *** '' X .»< ' Sr- ■ [Mrs. Lucy Johnson I _| Mrs. James Roosevelt || | Recent selection of Mrs. Lucy Keen Johnson of Irvington, N. Y., as .the “typical Amc-rican mother" prompts one to speculate as to whether the characteristics of motherhood have undergone a transformation in this changing dqcade. One might make out a strong case for either side of the question. If Mrs. Johnson is accepted as the typical American mother today, it would appear that the mother today is little different than her prototype of two decades or more ago. At the same time, there is a distinct type of “modern mother”, of younger years, more advanced in view, and less domestically inclined. Mrs. Janies Roosevelt, mother of the president, headed the committee which aelected Mrs. Johnson as the typical American mother.

More than a quarter of a century—29 years — it has kept to that intention, and its amazing activities have included the child city of Mooseheart, Illinois, where orphaned children are given a home an education, and instruction in a i trade; and Moosehaven, Florida, where aged members upon whom life has frowned find sanctuary in 1 their declining days. Besides this, I a vast charitable program is -carried on both within and without 1 the ranks of the Moose. But besides these humanitarian ] activities, the fraternity has always ; recognized the need for social and ] business contact, and the spirit of I good-fellowship that is apparent in

the lives of most men and women. The Moose has answered this need In the lodge homes of nearl 2,000 Moose lodges throughout the wurld. In order to keep its fraternal, social and charitable activities on a lofty plane, the Moose requires Its members and prospective members to measure up to a high standard. Moose members ure leading persons In each community. In business and professions, Fi marts of trade, the Moose emblem lias become known as Indicating that its possessor has shown the sterling qualities one looks for in the ideal citizen. It is such that the Moose now invites to join this impoortant and leading fraternity.
