The hope of eternal life had stirred men from remote antiquity. Since the Resur rection it has thrilled men with as surance. : Death came through Adam’s dis obedience, but in Christ all shall live. Christ has risen, we shall rise. At length the present order will cease in the swift passing of the world. The atomic bomb indicates that the utter destruction of the earth is entirely possible. When the end comes, the cataclysm will not touch the unseen heaven. That blessed place will remain for the people of God. Let the Easter sea son bring the spiritual certainties of the other world nearer to all of us. Within his decaying earthly tab-| ernacle man himself may be re- \ newed day by day until he puts his j shining garments on to dwell with i God evermore. The things which are seen are temporal, but: the things which are not seen are eternal. Nothing you can see with the mortal eye will endure. Only what you see with the eyes of faith will outlast the world. Everything worth while is an unseen thing. When our earthly house shall fail, we .shall have a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. May the assurance of an eternal life of righteousness come to us anew this Easter, giving high purposes to the life which now is, and thrilling our hearts with sure hopes of a blessed future. A. J.
