And yet this meaning is . sever applied to all human beings. 1 it is either taken for granted or I taught outright in the New Testa-

i Dr. Foreman

ment that all persons survive what ; we call death. But “eternal life” refers in this sense only to the survival of those who have accepted God’s grace, never to those who have rejected it. The other meaning has

to do with a quality of life itself, I here and now, in this world, this side of what we call death. Everlasting Life Cen Be Terrible The point is that if this quality of life is lacking in this world, the prospect of immortality is the most dismal that can be imagined. A modern pessimistic poem ends with the thought that in our whole universe we find everything contemptible.—there is nothing to praise, not even ourselves. Suppose a person who has come down to that wretched conclusion goes on out through the curtain of death into the beyond,—facing the prospect of endless existence, still .seeing nothing but the contemptible within and without? What worse hell could be needed than that? So in the New Testament, immortality, as such, the mere prospect of personal survival after death,—is never held out as something to be desired tn itself. Eternal life, life that endures beyond death, is desirable only when the person who looks forward to it already possesses eternal life, as a changed and new life. To put it another way: Only those who have been born again can be happy in looking , forward to their “birthday in . heaven.” A corpse lying in the > baggage car does not look for- ' ward to the train’s arrival at its aestination; only the living may have that pleasure. The corpse •xfirts; the passengers live. So the Christian thought 'bf Life—beyond is not “We shaU exist” but rather ‘•We shall live.” Christ Lives Agala ''•Perhaps Christians believe to eternal life, to the sense of this on-gotog through “death” of this present eternal life, less because of arguments than because ol some toner certainty, some whisper of God within the heart rather than some argument of logic knocking at the brain. Still, if one can speak ot arguments, there are two which specially appeal to Christians in all ages One is that Christ lived, and lives, again. The first Christians told the world about a risen Christ It is true they spoke of Christ crucified; but ,a crucifix does not express the whole Christian message. The dominant note of the New Testament is not death but life. Paul appeals to the resurrection of Christ to this famous chapter of his letter to the Corinthians. If that story is not true, he says, we are simply back where we were, the whole Christian faith is pure delusion. Every once to a while, and to our times more than twice to a while, people will try to tell us that the resurrection of Christ is a story you can “take or leave, that you can cut off the gospels with the burial of Jesus, and still be a Christian. No. il that were so Christ would be no more than another dead dreamer. The resurrection sheds a brilliant light on everything that went before it and everything that comes after it Christ Lives In Me The other argument which lies at the heart of the Christian's faith to a “life everlasting” whicb is worth looking forward to. is based oa personal experience. “Christ lives to me” was the testl-' mony of Paul first, and it echoes from the hearts of Christians ever since. When a man honestly thinks himself over, and asks, "What have I done, what am I. that God should trouble himself about ms any longer? What right have 1 to expect, much less to demand, life everlasting?” his answer will be a melancholy “Nothing.” Life that has no present sheen or strength of eternity about it or to It, has outlived itself in less than three score years and tea But if there is anything to a man that Christ has touched, if there is anything to a man that warranto, laying, "Christ lives here.” then he will dare and rejoice to say Christ. ”We shall live.” The Lord’s greeting is “Peace be unto you.” Christianity is the only religion whose founder died and rose

Our Easter Appeal By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Easter is in the air and nostalgic thoughts of childhood Sundays crowd into memory. Children's voices in the choir, the strong scent of lilies, and above all, the feeling of peace and satisfaction of a Sunday begun by attending church. Again we proclaim to you the glorious message of Easter: The bonds of sin and death are broken. Whosoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ is a new' creature, free from the powers of evil, and right in the sight of God. To this end the Word becomes flesh, and on Easter morn the Father raised Him from the dead so that all the world may know that this is most certainly true. Hail to the Glorious Easter Day! Come ye sorrowing ones, come ye fearful ones, come ye hopeful ones. Christ is risen! Death is conquered. Should we not all be gathered in the House of our God on the day of our Lord’s great triumph and be found worshiping Him, who is the (Resurrection and the Life? Come and let the spirit of the day of resurrection shed its radiance upon your heart and soul.
