Facing Death Letton for March f, ISM KING EYOKAKOLI of Lukoleta in Africa changed hit name every day for twenty-four yeart. He thought thia would keep the angel of death from finding him. But death knew his name,—knew hit last name, which was all that mattered. Death knows every one’s name, and will call it The one

prediction that is certain to come true, and the only one, is this: You will die. Death rides every highway; he rides too on every country road and backwoods trail, he rides the seven

teat. Wherever Dr. Foreman your road may take you. at the last you will come face to face with death. It is only an illusion to think you can ride away from death. You are always coming nearer. You will face it no question of that. The question Is. How will you face it? '.. ■ With Frankness The Christian looks for his answer to Jesus himself. He too faced death, both of his friends and of himself. We call him, and rightly “Lord of Life,” “I am the Resurrection and the Life,” he said. But the blaze of light in which his spirit moved did not blind him to the dark fact of death. He faced death, first of all with frankness. He did not try to avoid mentioning it He said to his friends quite simply, “Lazarus is dead." It would be funny, if it were not so pathetic, to see how many ways people find of avoiding saying "He is dead." He is deceased, or demised, or passed away, or gone on,—anything but dead. At funerals the corpse is rigged up to, look as lifelike as possible. At the grave everything is done to keep it from looking like a grave. Death is a subject dodged in polite conversation. But why not face it? Jesus certainly believed in immortality, more firmly than we do indeed; but still -he was frank about aeatn. With Sympathy Jesus* tears were shed on only one recorded occasion, when Lazarus died. Could he have been weeping for Lazarus? That is hardly possible. If he believed half what we believe about immortality. he could not have wept for a man who had gone beyond these shadows to the light of God’s presence. Or if he did not believe in immortality (let us suppose just for a moment that he did not), then why should he weep for a man who was within the hour to be restored to full life again? The one explanation that accounts for Jesus’ tears on that day is to see them as tears of sympathy. The hearts of Mary and Martha were tom, and his own was tom in sympathy. Perhaps it was not altogether because they were for a time lonely and bereft Jesus could see something beneath their loneliness, —he could see that they did not understand deatfe Itself. To their minds Lazarus had as good as ceased to exist He would be "raised up” at some future day;, but on that day, four days after his death what had become of him? AU they could see was the black shadow into which their brother had disappeared. It was for their hopelessness, their misunderstanding, as much as for their sorrow, that Jesus wept With Faith People who have had little experience in such things sometimes wonder what to say when they visit a house of sorrow. If only we Could bring back the dead to life, as Jesus did! If only we could break into moving poetry such as might have come from a Tennyson or a Dantel If only we could say some magic thing that would dissolve death in ashes and make life bloom again! Instead we are shy and blundering and we are afraid we say the wrong thing in spite of ourselves. Two things need to be remembered at such times. One is that what we say is far less important than our attitude. If we ourselves have an attitude of fear, of doubt, of, hopelessness, anything hopeful we say is beUed by our evident despair. But if in ourselves there is a strong faith, this will make the simplest words glow with hope. The other thing is recall that Jesus reminded Martha and Mary of himself. “I am the Resurrection and the* Life.” When we think of Jesus we think of Life—so all his friends have felt. How can we help it? So in the presence of sorrow the best word we can say is some word that points to Jesus. But of course the better time to say that word is before sorrow comes.

One Appointment We Must Keep GOING TO CHURCH By Mrs., James R. Meadows The average Sunday morning congregation is a pretty good indication of the people's interest in the church. After all, our attitude "towards divine services is also our attitude toward Christ and His influence in our community. Be indifferent to His church and you are indifferent towards Christ and His work; be faithful to His church and you are helping Him. The church is God’s way of building Christ into the lives- of all the people. Church-going is not all there is to being a Christian; but it is an important part of a Christian’s faith. We don't go to church only to hear sermons, we go as an act of worship to God; while we are there we hear the sermon as part of our worship. So when you go to chureh remember that you are doing it for your Saviour to worship Him. Be at your place of worship next Sunday. Start this Lent season by being in the church of your choice. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.’’—Matthew 6:19-21.
