Text: Matthew By WILLIAM E.
7:57; 28:6 ILROY, D.D.
Editor of Advance
JESUS HAD ACTIVE disciples
who were near to Him in fellow-
ship from day to day and who shared directly in His eafthly mission. Among these particularly were the 12 whom He had called from their various occupations, and whom we/ now call “the Apostles.” One of these, Judas, proved a traitor, but (it is reasonable to think of his place as being taken St. Paul. Dy wer others, however, in the background, who ‘evidently reatly attracted to { Jesus by is personality and teaching, 2 perhaps even in
calmness fa dignity under persecution.’ Among these was Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy man and the Sanhedrin, the il -
, Joseph now came forward openly; at a time when it "might have been really dangerous to do so, and asked that he might have the body of Jesus to give it purial. He laid the body in his own new tomb which he had hewn out of the rock; and, thus, Joseph and the tomb became honorably associated with. what ‘a _great Christian leader has described as “the greatest event in history.”
" s »
THIS “GREATEST EVENT” was the Resurrection. The story | ‘of the Resurrection is full of mystery as it must inevitably be, for there cannot be a miracle without mystery. When! one sees aay the great eoniliet.
among students of the life and time of so great an American as Abralam Lincoln concerning many matters associated with his life and the large element of doubt on many points, it is not strange that stories should differ concerning ‘an amazing event that happened centuries ago, before there was anything approaching modern means of communication and when methods |of scientific’ investigation were | unknown. ! | #0» ” | THE IMPORTANT THING is what all the New Testament stories have in common—the clear evidence that the resurrected Christ appeared to the disciples and that a discouraged group of men, who felt that the great adventure of faith upon which they had staked e everything was over, were sudde. y quickened into faith again, so that they went - forth to establish the Christian Church ahd to make permanent the mission and work of their Master in the world.
For a modern world, this is the great evidence of the Resurrection of Christ and His triumph over death. We cannot think of Jesus as dead; we think of Him as a living Christ, whose presence and power and influence have been manifest all through the. Christian generations since the day when the two Marys found the opened and empty | tomb. His living presence is the | inspiration of His Church today.

Protestant Novena Set re
First Service of Kind Here to Be at Bethany.
The first Protestant novena ever held in Indianapolis and among very few in the|country will be in the ‘Bethany Lutheran Church for nine consecutive weeks beginning Thursday at 7:30 p. m. A novena is series of prayers for special benefits, offered on nine occasions, usually consecutive days or weeks, until| recently a eustom only of the Catholic Church. “A great many Protestant people fail to pray for| definite things for fear of regarding God as a magician,” the Rev. J. Luther Seng, Bethany Church pastor,’ said today. “But Je vs tells us in the New Testament, ‘ask and ye shall receive. Ye have not, because ye ask not’.” fo Then the Rev. Mr. Seng sounded a warning saying that it must be remembered th 2 all petitions will not be granted, which does not mean that they Mave been ignored. “No” as well as “yes” is an answer to prayer, he said J Health, a peace death, the cessation of war, increased spirituality for self and others, material things within | certain’ limits and the like. are among the requests frequently made during a novena. Each noven service at - the Serhant Church will begin at 7:30 p. m. and no one will be admitted afterward.
