City Os Hammond Sues Toil Groups CROWN POINT Q) - The City of Hammond Thursday filed a $300,000 damage suit against the Indiana Toll Road Commission in Lake Circuit Court here. The city charged that the commission caused damage to streets, alleys, sidewalks, drains, sewers and lighting facilities and did not take remedial action following several requests to do so.

1 J itarm ■«fkjrr«»»d S«ri*teMt Matthew 37:55 Devatianal Rtadlnf: I Corinthians 15:13-33. God’s D-Day Lesson for April 21, 1957 ONE OF the most famous of Easter hymns begins: “The strife is o'er, the battle done. The Victory of life is won ..Among the many true meanings of Christ’s death, and resurrection is this: Christ has conquered sin and death. All that death and sin could do to him, was done; yet he "rose a victor o’er the dark domain." as another familiar Mr hymn goes. The 'Sb. last wind of Jesus to his dici- | pies, as Matthew MH reports it, begins K —"All authority has been given /gS is not a season Dr - Fo reman for puzzles; and yet all this doe* raise a question in the minds of both Christians and unbelievers. If it is true that Christ has won for us the victory over sin and death, if It is true that it Is He who has the , true authority over man and history, how is it that the world racks along in such a slowji painful, frustrated sort of way? Looking at a slum, or a battlefield, or a cemetery, or a jail, looking at life as it is lived on this planet, would we guess that God had won a tremendous victory over the powers of evil? D-Day It Nat V-Day A theologian of our time, Oscar Cullman has given an answer to this in the simplest terms. We live, he says, in the interval, so to speak, between D-Day and V-Day. All who can remember back to June 6, 1944, remember the tremendous victory of that hardfought D-Day. But the war went on for nearly a year after that. Was D-Day, then, a failure? By no means. With D-Day the war was virtually won. The enemy had little chance, after that; but it took a lot of fighting, and some of it, like the Battle of the Bulge* costly and disheartening. So we are living, in the time between Christ’s ascension and his coming again in glory, as it were between, D-Day and V-Day. ’ What Gad Has Dona What has been accomplished by God’s D-Day? One thing is, that God’s power has been shown, once and for all. Over and over in the New Testament, especially in the letters of Paul, the power with which God raised Christ from the dead is called the same power that works in Christians. The victory ; over sin and death which we see In Christ, can be the hope and to an increasing degree the experience of our own lives. There really is a difference between living in the world before Christ and after. All tfcat Christ was and did and said, climaxed by the resurrection, are ever before our minds if -- we only think. Before Christ, no one on earth really know what God could do. Since Christ, men of faith do know. The other achievement of D-Day’s victory is, for us, sharing in God’s certainty of victory which finally shall be complete. One of the easiest and subtlest temptations into which we can fall is to wonder whether God may not at last be overwhelmed by a universe which he created but cannot now control. Realizing what D-Day means, we need never have such fears. i What Wa Must Do Calvary and Easter have practical messages for the Christian. They are not mere admiration- ■ days, when we can sing happily about what God has done. They are challenge-days calling us to thought, attitude, action, as befits children of the mighty God. As for death, we can see clear through It. Christ has shown us the glory on the other side. As for sin, Christ bore our sins with Him “to the tree” as Peter said. The power that wrought in Him is available for us in our struggles against evil. But there is something more than this. John Baillie speaks of our era, between the time of Jesus and the end of time, as "the years., of grace,” that the great task of Christians is just the very thing which Matthew leaves with his readers as the climax of his story of Christ. “All authority has been given me . . . therefore—(sit down and be at ease? wait quietly for the end? spend your time singing my praises? no, none of these.)— therefore GO, and Make Disciples.” The going, winning Christian is the one in whom the victory of Easter moves on toward final triumph. l '.—■! . .. — T the message by. the pastor. a 10:30 a.m., Sunday school with classes for all ages. 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, prayer time at Mt.

Our Easter Message Rev. 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 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 to that all the world may know this is most certainly true.
