FAIR OAKS. News, as usual, is scarce this week. Health is pretty good in our village this week. Cottage prayer meeting was held at Sam Potts’ Wednesday evening. Everybody is getting their garden and potato patches ready for Good Friday. Bert Warne and Sam Potts and wife were at Gifford Sunday to attend meeting. Next Tuesday will be the last day of school here and it is expected something will be doing. We got a nice little shower Saturday night. Since then it ha<s been pretty good but threatening rain. It is reported that Tom Mallatt will offer his, blacksmith property at public auction in the near future. Bert Sullivan moved last week out of Mat Karr’s house into G. I. Thomas’ house in the south part of town. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Blunder of Charlottesville were callers among old friends here a day or two last week. Next Saturday evening is when the play is to be given in the Gundy hall by the young people of the M. E. church. There was quite a batch of our people, some who never swear at home, went to Rensselaer Tuesday to “swear.” Mr. Smith, who is farming for Mr. Spang, will put out about 20 acres of watermellons. He will begin planting in a few days. Mrs. Mary Stovers and daughter, who have been staying over about Newland for a couple years, came tome for a few days this week.

They are planning on having a very interesting time a»t next Sunday’s services after Sunday school. They are expecting a full house and Rev. Postill to give them something extra as it is Easter Sunday. The writer got several cards last week as birthday souvenirs, which we were much pleased to receive. We have wondered how many who read these lines know just exactly what day it was that Fort Sumpter was fired on, which was the beginning of a four-year siege of a bloody war. Of course the writer didn’t know anything about the beginning, but does remember one instance that occurred before the war ended, and that was when the "Jonnies” passed through a section of the country in Harrison county and how the women and children were gathered up and hustled away from home to be out of their line of march, leaving their homes to the mercies of the invaders, who burned and destroyed lots of property.

THE RISEN CHRIST

1 Corinthians 15:1 SS—April S 3. Ransom and Resurrection Twin Doctrines —Jesus’ Resurrection Attested by Many infallible Proofs—Today's Study In Irreconcilable Conflict With Current Theology. ".Vow hath Christ been raised from the dead, the First fruits of them that are asleep."— Verse to. K. V. CODAY'S Study calls attention to the great importance of the doctrine of the Resurrection, presenting it as the twin of the other great doctrine which the Apostle sets forth "first of all'’—"how that Christ DIED FOR OUR SINS according to the Scriptures.” (Verse 3.) To this fundamental doctrine of the Ransom the doctrine of the Resurrection stands related as effect to cause. So important is this doctrine in the estimation of the inspired Apostle that be emphatically declares that if it be not true, then there is no hope for any one beyond the present life, the preaching or the Gospel is in vain, those who preach it are false witnesses, the faith of Christians is vain and their hope delusive. Moreover, he urges that their life of sacrifice, in view of the resurrection and its rewards, merely robs them of what little enjoyment and advantage they might gain in the present life, which is all that they would thus have; and those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. Such indeed would be our sad plight if there were to be no resurrection. If this, which Christ died to secure, is not guaranteed to us, to be realized in due time, we are yet in our sins, under the death penalty without one ray of hope. While Verses 12-19 declare the great importance of this doctrine of the Resurrection. Verses 20-26 emphasize its

truthfulness. The resurrection of Christ Jesus, attested by many infallible proofs (Verses 5-8: Acts 1:3), is the guarantee that all mankind shall have not only an awakening from death, but an opportunity to attain a complete resurrection

to all that was lost by Adam’s disobedience.—Acts 17:31. In Verse 20 let Christians observe what the various creeds of Christendom ignore and what is in direct antagonism to their teachings; namely, that the risen Christ was "the Firstfruits of them that slept’’—that Jesus was the first to experience a resurrection in the full sense of the term—to perfection and life everlasting. True, some before Him were temporarily awakened, but only to relapse again into death: for example, Lazarus, the son of the widow of Nain. the daughter of Jairus. etc. These were only partial illustrations of resurrection, to assure men that Divine Power cduld accomplish it fully in due time.

The Scripture* Logic*!. Mark the logic of these facts: If Christ was the first resurrected from the dead, no one was resurrected before Him; and if those fallen asleep in Christ have perished, except they be restored to life by a resurrection (Verse 18), and if those who die in Christ “sleep in Jesus’’ until His Second Coming, then it is plain that not one of them went to Heaven at dearth. They were dead; they slept in Jesus; they rested in hope; and they must remain dead until the time appointed for the resurrection —Christ’s Second Coming. “David is not att ended into the Heavens.” Daniel must wait, and stand again in his lot at the end of the days. Abraham must wait for the possession of the Promised Land, of which he never owned as much as to set his foot upon. Job must tarry until the wrath of this “evil day" is overpast. St. Paul himself must wait the time when all who love the Lord’s appearing will be rewarded—Acts 2:34; Dan. 12:13; Acts 7:5; Job 14:12-15, 21; 2 Tim. 4:8. All this Scripture teaching is in irreconcilable conflict with current the-

“He is Risen.”

Verse 21 antagonizes current theology with equal force. Current theology says that our redemption is secured by the sacrifice of a God. not a man. But the Scriptures very explicitly point out an exact equivalent, a human substitute for the human head of our race, whose redemption secures the redemption of his posterity, on precisely the same principle that his fall and condemnation entailed sin and death upon them. It was “the. Man Christ Jesus." who, after He had left the glory of His previous spiritual existence and “was made flesh.” accomplished our redemption by the sacrifice of Himself—His flesh. His humanity—and who in consequence hast' been highly exalted, even to the Divine nature.—l Timothy 2:5. 6; John 1:14; Philippians 2:9-11. Verses 22. 23 show the order of the resurrection. The time of Christ’s presence (not coming) is the entire thousand years of His Reign. Verses 24-28 assure us of the success of Christ’s Kingdom.

Seeing America by Motor.

Statistics that are a little belated, but still interesting, convey the information that no fewer than 6,000 tourists crossed the continent last summer in automobiles. There was the lure, to be surs, of a great international exposition, but this, the experts hold, was not. in itself sufllcient to account for the motor traffic. On the contrary, they are of the opinion that the movement was a product—a remote by-product of the European war. These 6,000, so the argument runs, were in the habit of going abroad every summer and touring Europe. The war put an end to that, and they turned to the transcontinental trip as a substitute. But, whatever may have been the motive governing the trip last year, it is now certain that the journey hereafter will be made for its own sake. The 6,000 set forth skeptics and returned converts. And this summer it is estimated that twice 6,000 will motor from East to West and that these will pass a proportionately large number of westerners journeying eastward. The belief prevails that the fashion of "seeing America first” has been firmly established, and that, in the future, this continent will be traveled as Europe has been traveled in the past. To a great extent, it will have been the motor car that has discovered America to Americans. Those who made the transcontinental trip last summer were, for the most part, bound by no necessity to economize in expenses. They had money to spend, and they spent it freely. They were the travelers de luxe. But, this year, and In the years to follow, thousands will be abroad in the country in their cars who can not spend so lavishly. Not all of them, of course, will make the transcontinental trip; many of them will not leave the confines of their own states. Touring is growing in popularity annually. It is looked upon, by those who can afford it, as an ideal outing.

Keepers of hotels, accordingly, now that the ‘‘seeing America first” habit has been formed, are being cautioned by automobile clubs and transportation companies generally to avoid discouraging the tourist by exorbitant charges. In various cities arjd in numerous resorts, both east and west, local clubs are taking the matter of hotel rates in hand and are obtaining from their managers schedules of prices that will prevail the season through regardless of the demand for accommodations. Rate cards so obtained and distributed amount virtually to pledges that the schedule of prices listed will be maintained. This inspires confidence, and if anything will contribute to an increase in American sightseeing, vacation and recreation travel this will Serve that end. It is a movement that deserves encouragement and support.—lndianapolis News.
