Conquest ot Death Lesson for June 19, 1919 DOCTORS TALK about conquering death, but they never d>. All they can manage is to put it off a little. In all the long sad story of mankind there is only c.ie absolute conquest of death. It happened on the first Easter morning, and it was a turn-

ing point in the history of the world. The few lines about the Resurrect' n. in our New Testament, would not cover the front page of this newspaper. We do not know all we want to know.

But those few lines Dr, Foreman tell us enough to set us singing, they are a solid foundation foi a souring faith. • * • The Mighty Act of God WE shall be disappointed if we expect the Gospels to “explain” the Resurrection. If there is anything the stories show clearly, it is that the first persons who knew of the Resurrection were confused and shaken by it. The disciples had not expected anything like this, and they may not fully have understood what was going on. What they were sure of, what they could not deny, was first of all that Christ rose from the dead, and also that it was God who raised him from the dead. Gad haJ beaten the one unbeatable power — death. Death, the universal conqueror, turned out for once to be the compered. It is only those who can believe in an all-powerful God who can fully believe hi the Resurrection. • • • It Is The Lord WHAT MANNER of person was Jesus, after that first Easter morning? There were some differences hard to describe, and in fact not described, only hinted at. You notice that at times it was not easy to jecogn »'• hH>a»diM. Paul refers to Chrict's "glorious body" and surely there must be a glory in a person who has a’ctually proved too strong for death to hold—a glory such as even Christ, before Calvary. had not shown. And yet—and yet, it was the same Jesus they had always known. • • • No Ghost BY NIGHT, In many a "seance," mediums profess to get In touch with the spirits of the dead. If you could believe the spiritists. Shake ipeare and Queen Victoria and innumerable other famous people, have come back and talked from beyond the grave. But the thing that makes the Christian church more than doubtful about such performances, is that somehow the dead-and-come-back genius is never a genius any more. Neither Shakespeare nor any other famous perron has said anything worth saying through a "medium. ’• And even these feeble ghosts cannot endure the daylight They have to come at night flow different were the coming* of Jr*U*! There was nothing weird or uncanny about Mm. Around the supper table, or on an afternoon walk, or oat on the lake shore under the morning sun . . . never the poor mumbling ghost of a seance, never any stupid trifle* from hi* lip*, but word* of truth and comfort which the church chcrhhe* aa among the best from our lord's mind. Jesus’ resurrection I* not the story ot the survival of a ghost, still less tn- mere teturn of a revived and walking corpse. It is the story of a Divine Person who coniuered death, and who came back from that concgiest in power and majesty, yet with all the tenderness, love and bellilance he had ever shown. • • • Our Hope in Him nAUL tin I Cor. IS> makes it * clear that our hope of Ufe-beyuid-death grow* right out ot Christ's resnr.-eetton. The enemies of Christ would have gr.-en their right eyes to stop the r.nouths of the men who told that story, and io prove it a ho. But they could net er do it. Too easuet well *'j .p people from belles leg what they have I seen with their owg eyes. So ■ar hop* •< eternal life la not jnat a ’.»ope. As Paul says, if Celt were aIL *o sLov’.d bo miserable men. ¥>««.*, "- 1 deSW«un«IMM. •> fSTKUae.

June 17.—(UP)— The torture murder of Mr* Louise Springer left police baffled today by nine mutilation staying* of attractive women beginning with the "black Dahlia” case 29 month* ago. None of the cases was ever solved. Mr*. Springer, a 28-year-old saleswoman, was found strangled In the back seat of her sleek new convertible yesterday. The car was parked only a short distance from the spot where the body of Elisabeth Short, who became known a* the "Black Dahlia,” was found cut into two sections In January. 1947. .' Mr*. Springer's 97-pound body had been twisted so that It lay face down. Her dress was pulled above her hips. A clothesline was knotted around her neck. Her body had been violated. Mr*. Springer'* husband, Laurence, a short, mustached hair stylist, sobbed when he learned of her death. He had reported her missing Monday night, when he returned to a parking lot from an errand and found his wife and the car gone. Police believe the slaying was committed within an hour after that. They said several witnesses apparently saw the slayer park the car on a residential street and casually stroll away. "He seemed to adjust something In the back seat before he got out.” said 15-yearold Carman Arvizu, before whose home the car was parked. Another witness said the man seemed to be wearing a gray navy uniform. Named Delegate To K. P. Convention The Knight* of Pythias have elected Judge Myles F.
