Loftis 320 E. Carolina Ave. I walked one day by a place where Jesus was buried. I looked into an open doorway because I was attracted by the noise. A juke box was playing jazz; a couple were jitter-bugging drunkenly; a man laughed at them over his drink, as he spilled it on the coun ter with a far from steady hand; coarse talk and racuous laughter filled the smoky air. That place held the grave of Jesus. True, I saw no fresh mound, no headstone saying, “Jesus is buried here;” yet nevertheless He was buried there! I passed another place also one day, a place where Cnrist was bur ied. A place where men (and sadly, women too) went in and out. A package wa$ passed to each over the counter from well stocked shelve;. Contraband or legal? Legal—yes—legal whiskey in our the stone away! there also. I saw no guard before a grave within a cave; I felt no darkness, no earthquake, no rend ing of rocks as when Jesus died, but He was buried in that house, I fear. Many walk behind the “Stone Curtain” of sin. They perhaps, need help to roll away the stone so they may see Jesus. Many have found Him once, but for sun dry reasons have rolled the stone again against the door, burying Him anew. Those, too, may need help to push away the stone and let Jesus walk into their lives Many carry loads of care and worry that are like stones in weight. Do they also let them be stones before their hearts, shutting out Jesus? Many try to shut Him into a cor ner of their hearts, “seal it tight while the rest of the heart is cen tered on other things.*’ Jesus said, “Give me thy Heart”—and “Thou shalt love the Lord with all thy heart." He did not say, "Give me a little corner of thy heart and seal the door”—no! No half-way measures count with Jesus. It’s Easter! That time of the year commemorating the arrival of Mary Magdalene and the other Mary at the tomb of Jesus. Lo, the stone is rolled away! The Royal seal has been broken! Earth ly Kings could not stop our Christ. An angel sits inside pointing, “He is not here—but risen!" How they believed when He spoke to them. How they adored Him! Has Christ spokgn to us? Yes, and from out side the tomb for he enters it never again. It is we who place again the stone between us and the living Christ when we are indifferent and bury Him from our lives. May this Easter find the stone rolled away! Let’s roll away the stone from the grave in numerous God-hidden places. Blessed it is to know he walks without the tomb, that He speaks to us! Let’s roll made effective before October 1.

The congressional commit tees have refused to be hurried. Mr. Truman also planned to ask for an additional $6,500,000,000 to balance his budget but congress probably will ignore that request and it is uncertain now that it will come—at least in that amount. formal wear as well as daytime ensembling.
