WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Meaning of the Resurrection Revealed Here

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for M arch 21: The Moaning of Christ’s Resurrection. —John 19:23-30: 20:19-20. By William E. Gilroy, I). D. Editor of the Congregatlonalist. The words of comfort that Jesus addressed to his disciples, “Let not your heart be troubled,” would have lacked conviction had they been the words of one whose own life experiences were easy and complacent, who had never felt the pangs of pain and the woes of tribulation. They bear conviction for men because they came from the lips of a man of sorrow. Christ's W’ords of comfort and hope and salvation became sanctified in His own experiences -on the cross, and it is to this holy tragedy in His own life that we come in this lesson. With what holy consecration should w r e approach these last scenes in that life of one who lived wholly and completely to glorify God and to serve his fellowmen! The one who was altogether pure and good, who had lived for others, is now treading the way of death for others. We need not turn aside into theories and speculations concerning the nature and meaning of the Cross of Christ. Its great facts are clearly before the eyes and hearts of those who would see and understand. Men have questioned commercial and substitutional theories of the atonement. They have asked whether one man can bear the sins of others.

THE INDIAN Aruuio TIMES

As one skeptic once asked the present writer, “Would an honest man want another to die for his sins?” But.when they have discussed all these theories and raised all (heir questionings, can there be any doubt of the essential fact that Jesus died for others, that good men all through history have been suffering and dying for others? May we not rather ask in reply to the skeptic’s question, “Would an honest man ignore the sacrifices that have been made for him?” Can he view with unconcern the martyrdom of saints who have served the cause of truth and righteousness,' and above all things 'the sacrifice of Christ upon the Cross? The honest man will not raise mere speculations and questions but with all the passion of his being he will respond to this Christ ip the yearning to be worthy of such love and sacrifice. That is what Calvary means in human life —the revelation of the eternal heart of God. love bearing the sins and sorrows of she world. The clew to the meaning of the Cross of Christ is found in the soul of fatherhood and motherhood. Ask the father if one .cannot suffer for others. Conceive what motherhood has been throughout the long ages and inquire whether there be ii(jt xlcurious suffering. The Cross of Christ has had its reality and power because it responds to the essential and inherent

facts of life and experience. It is God’s way of revelation and triumph all through history. We live in a groaning creation. Every new age and every new life is attended with its birth pangs, and without something crucial there Is rvothing great. But the way of our lesson does not end at the Cross. If life ended in. Cal vary for Christ or for humanity there would be no gospel of hope. Christ leads us through Calvary to the resurrection and the closing verses of our lesson express the profound joy that came to the disciples as they realized the peace and triumph of their Lord. Considering all that they had passed ihrough, there can hardly be conceived any more expressive summary of all the glory of this experience than is compressed into the few words, “Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.” _ Has that glory come into our own lives Have we gone the way of the disciples where such an experience may be revealed? There are many people today who hope for the resurrection joy who will not partake of the sorrow of Calvary. There can be no resurrection where there has not been a passing through the valley of the shadow of death. It is only as we go with Christ to Calvary that we can share with him the glory and triumph of the unsealed tomb.

A Mighty Good College Show

By Walter I). Hickman With a corking good first act filled ! with good dancing, nice comedy and some nifty novelty numbers, the 1926 Jordan Rlyer Revue of Indiana University played to one of the largest audiences of the season last night at the Murat. May Martin, who directed the dances, and who danced away to fame in the first act. Is responsible for more of the success of this revue. The revue opened with a college Charleston which is Just as nifty as one would care to see. In fact, this is the first time that the Charleston ever appealed to me. With much spirited dancing and some good songs, the first act of this college revue makes it one of the best shows of its kind. With the girls in the chorus, Indiana has a good idea, much better than some schools which use men jis chorus “girls.” There Is a wholesomeness and a j joy to the Jordan River Revue which j no other school has. The first act | was beautifully mounted. Most of the melody was carried I by Mildred Legge. William Romey, Harry Reed and Frances Luke. The second act had one tine comedy knockout, the Cooks Special group. There was one girl in this group who is a natural comic. Splendid. Indiana University has n right to he proud of the 1926 Jordan River Revnue. Here Is joy and life f
