The Sunday School Lesson APRIL 17, 1927 SUBJECT: THE RESURRECTION LESSON TEXT: Matt. 28:1-10. Matthew's account of the resurrec tion pra.cerly begins with v. r>7 of whap. 27. Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple (Jn. 19:33), is seen taking the body of Jesus for burial, after having secured permission from Pilate. Extraordinary courage somehow possessed him at this time, /that he should come out from under cover and boldly go to Pilate on such an errand. Perhaps, like many another since, he was emboldened by the cross of Je sus to do what otherwise ho never would have dreamed of attempting. The body was laid in Joseph's new tomb (27:60), which was securely scaled. "There was Mary Magdal ene and the other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre" (v. Gl). Not a single record do we have of any un kindness to our Lord from women. There are many records of their lov ing ministrations. They odged their way to the very cross. They clung to Him when He and His cause seem ed forever dead and buried. The iKKt day, that followed the day Jf preparation, the chief priests ;ind Pharisees came together unto ilnt-i (v 62). The Gospels seem to agree that Jesus was crucified on "the pre paration." 14th Nisan (Jn. 19:14; I.k. 23:54). The day after the prepara tion was Passover Sabbath, wherever it might fall in the week. Unless it can be proved that Pass over Sabbath that year happened to coincide with the Jewish weekly Sab bath (Saturday), we have no right to say that Jesus was crucified on "Good Friday." Matt. 12:40 gives us our Lord's own word that He would be in the realm of the dead "three days and three nights"? not two nights and one day as would be the case if He were cruci fied Friday afternoon. (The Sab bath began at sudown Friday. ) He! arose at the beginning of the first day of the wuek (some time after sun I down Saturday, appearing early on Sunday.) The plotters suddenly remembered that Jesus had foretold His resurrec tion (v. C3.) It had made a deeper impression upoM the Lord's enemies than upon His own disciples. Their words showed that they really had understood His words about "destroy ing this temple," although they pro fessed another interpretation (Jn 2 19-21). * The sepulchre was therefore "made sure" (v. 64). We should be glad that it was done. It furnishes a stronger foundation for all believers , resurrected Lrrd ;nnnf-,tod Himself on the first day of the week. that day our present order of ere nation began with the calling forth of lght. Now, by His resurrection, the Lord brought life and immortality to IjRht. (2 Tim. 1:10). Natural light and spiritual lijarht now have a com mon birthday. Form the resurrection forward, Jie f rst day has been "the Lord's Day."! fhe charge that the Sabbath w?s changed by the Romish Pope is ridi culous. We now have abundant \es- 1 ti monies dating back to the apostle I themselves that the early Church I kept th> first day, while unbelieving Jews continued their forms <? the seventh day. Bright and early the wo Marv were there (v 1.) pipat in transgres sion, woman is also first in witness ing of completed redemption. They came, it is true, "to see the sepulchre " lovH' tCO,1had fHi,ed to K'-asp our Lords prediction. How shall we ac count for the stubborn view many take of death ? R hold, the strong heavenly and the weak earthly lovers of t i i J or t.ie Lord meet the tomb. An angel was there (v. He roll? back the stone.

Every real farmer strives "To make his little nook of rtod's creation little better, richer, fairer, and more worthy of God." Cow, Hog, Hen Flan for Farming in South Boosted by Southern. Atlanta, Ga., April 5. ? Emphasis '3 laid on the Cow, Hog and Hen pro pram, as fitting in with all types of fniming and applicable to all part? of the South, in a special edition of the Southern Field, just issued by tho Development Service of the Sou thorn Railway System. It is made up principally of ar ticles written by Southern Railway System Agricultural Agents, point ing out the opportunities for profits from diversified crops, live stock and poultry, \v th many illustrations showing in dollars and cents the pro fits that hi-ve been made by indi vidual farmers from live stock, poul try and crops other than cotton. It is ? ointcd out that, by diversi fication. the growing of special crops, production of dairy and poultry pro ducts an t raiding of sheep and hogs, the farmer may hatfe a profitable income ' n rough out the year, even mor; than sufficient to pay all farm r.rd liur.g expenses, leaving the pro ceeds of cotton or other major crop ss cl.'ar n t profit at the end of the year. I'. A. McDowell Loses Tenant House by Fire P. A. McDowell, of the Flat Rock scction, 1 os t a tenant house by fire last Saturday afternoon, whose lo&s is a total one, as he carried no insuran t m the building. The tenant, Gludys Patterson, colored, was not at home ind she also was a heavy loser, as her furniture was also burnt d and was jninsured. Coincidentally, while this building was burning, another tenant was movirg into a new tenant house vvhich had just been completed on Mr. >lcDo\\e". V place. A fierce wind was jlowing at the time of the fire and Mr. Mc! t .well's own dwolling iand '.carby ouT houses were very much en iangered by the nearness of the burning building tu them.- -The Ker shaw Era. Even if low grade truck doesn't -fo:l on the market it spoils the mar ket. for? To u-; Jesus out? Nay, He had aire.. I y son.. Did you hear the ?reaclx r .-ay that .Jesus "burst the bars of the tomb"? He did not have to. An angel removed the bars to lei two women see in. The angel "sat upon the stone." What a i icture of God's easy and complete triumph over Satan and his hosts! The police officers saw the angel's shining countenance, and th >v w .it into chills from fright. They be tamc unconscious (vv. 3, 4.). God. loughs at a'.l man's vain efforts to prevent the fulfillment of His W r l. The very men who berate the Bible are themselves fulfilling it. "He is not h:re ? He is risen as H" said (v. G). That is the word of this 'heavenly messenger. Was it simply our Lord's spirit that was gone? Did His body remain? What does the o pen tomb proclaim if not a risen jbody? Come and *04* the PLACE I \\ hire the Lord l%y." These are days of new# definitions | for old doctrines. We hear now of I the "objective vision hypothesis." They say there was some kind of an \ppenranc of Jesus, but it was not in n body. The body, they say, is not essential. It was a spiritual resur rection (whatever that is ). Anyway, it was His BODY that was gone from the tomb. His spirit never was in the tomb. His Rpirit -.eeded no r surrection for it went im nediately to Paradise the moment of leath. If it was not a bodily appear ance, there is no such thing nvn resur rection. Did you get the angel's word ? "as He said"? A pure faith would have | gone to the sepulchre carrying o > pices for embalming. It would have yone in the assured certainty of meei ing Him alive! "Go quickly and tell the disciples" (v. 7). Why did not the angel him elf b ar them the news? Ah! this is por the r deemed to do. They are the best witnesses of His salvati n. Mark adds (10:7) "and Peter. ' i'eter had been under a black cloud. | I le got a r) ecial word from the One he so lately denied. That very forenoon he had a talk with .Jesus. Before the Ivord hastened to meet others to spetk peace, He met Peter to speak pardon. "Behold, Jesus met them" (v. 9). He too, sends them on a mission. ''Go tell try brethren" (v. 10.) The Right of 'he r?s' n Ohrist is sure to give a man something to say to others. If '"hriit had remnined in some nameless tomb, the Gospel long ngn would h iv lost its power and impotus. In Galliloe He would meet His bre thren (v. 10) ? Galilee of the Gentile . Why make the appointment there? Why give there the main eviden-es of the resurrection? It was the scene of their common labors. To all nations they were to bo sent with the the glad tidings. There they receiv ed the great commission. There they were called and net to work on a world task. NATIVE MVliRS WELCOME SHIPS IN HAWAIIAN PORT Round-the- World Tour Finds Much of Interest at Honolulu (By Rev. E. B. Jenkins) When the Mary Weems came into the harbor she received a rcyal wel come. On our arrival in Honolulu \v.> too received a rousing welcome from the diving boys who came out by the dozens to meet us. They were Japan ese, Hawaiians, and Phillipinoes. They swarmed along side the ship and shouted for us to throw corns >jr which they dived de-cp and caught the coins before they reached torn. Coming to the top they would blow for breath and ut the coins in their nr.mths. When they got tired they would hang on to the side of the | ship and then turn loose and again j shout for coins. It was very inter- 1 csting to see these brown skinned lads dive for the coins. They would not dive for copper coins, as they are hard to see under water. Sometimes three boy:; would dive for one coin. Diamond Point. As we came into the harbor wo passed Diamond Point, tlu fortifica tions of the harbor. It is TGI fee*, high, and is known as Fort Ruger. ' No one i ; allowed to enter the .oi t, nor is an aeroplane permitted to fly over it. This fort is the storngest in all the Hawaiian islands. In case ol \>ar with Japan it is probale that she .vould take all the islands save Oahu inland, of which Honolulu is the chief j L ity. It" Japan could take Honolulu j she would be able to secure -ill tlu> is lands. There are two other for tress <-s on the is'and, Fort de Russey and Fort Armstrong. The govern ment has a military post at Wailili jeavh ami 1'orl Shafter, three miles from Honolulu. Shofield Barracks arc seven miles from Honolulu and i^ the strongest m litary post in Ha waii, it lias 1.">,0U0 soldiers, mostly! natives. A number of destroyers and ' uar>hip coimi to Honolulu. 'Twa.i I good to see the stars and stripes fly- \ ng from the top or the destroyer. I ?jade us think of Home Sweet Home. , If you want to appreciate America' travel in foreign countries. The Hawaiian People The native Hawaiian iK'ople, and j there are ony 22,0l>0 of t.lvr pure j blooded Hawaiians in the eight is- j ands. They are a hospitable folk, I and when Captain Cook came to! he island; they treated him as a| God. But he took advantage of their hospitality, and treated them unkindly which resulted in his death. They ire a cheerful and law abiding peo- I Je, and light hearted. They arc fin.' ? swimmers; born fishermen. Hawa- ' ian music is known throughout the J whole world. Perhaps the besi j uiown of all their son^s i^ the "Aloa- j ha Oe." This sc.ng was composed bj, ! v^uecn Liliukalani. The word aloha ' means love, but expresses all the em<- | .jons of the heart such as joy, wei j come, farewell. The Hawaiians are j limited in their style of music. They t lay instruments and their singing ! is effecutal. A moonlight Brrenad.* | i?y a group of native Hawaiians undoi ] the i aim trees is one that hf ? a I touch of romance to it. Christianity in the Hawaiian Hlands Christianity was introduced into Hawaii in 1819 hy Rev. Asa Thirston ind Rev. Hiram Bingham, of New England. They made a lo7-days .ail from New England to Hawaii Che King of the country, Kamehanu - 1a II, was favorable to Christianity t nd abolished Hawaiian religion a:v.. worship. Later Jueen Keopulini, be came a convert to Christianity. Slu ent about the islands urging thi ; eople to accept the new religion i I'his was of great aid to the mission aries. Within ton years after the arrival of the missionaries all of the .nhabitant* were nominally converted | to Christianity. The p' ople were loy il to their missionaries, and the mo al and religious standards were kept. It was later by the entrant*-"' >f selfish and unscrupololis men tnat caused the Hawaiians to deteriorate and grow lax in their faith. Then , the Hawaiian-- have been despoiled hy he great powers and this has had j ts 'nfluenco upon the Hawaiian p o . >!e. They may be likened to our- 1 Ives: impressionable in the matters ( of religion? but at th*? same' time for- J netful. The vicious influence of sail ers and other foreigners has annulled the woVk of the miss:onaries in j art. So we must not censure thorn too much for they are only human. Honolulu from the Mountains A drive mound the mountains a Love Honolulu proved as interesting -> h a ride up to Vesuvius. At an al titude of 1.200 feet we could look down over the "it y of Honolu'u, th< Diamnnd Point, the harbor and out to ?"a till the sea and the horizon met. 'I he rare air, the clear sky, the flow ers in great abundance made it a sight never to be forgotten. With out the mountains one would have thought they were in Florida. As we Razed upon this wonderful panaro ma we thought of the wonderful words of Holy Writ. "What hath Cod wrought." On the way down the mourUaini wo passed a Chinese cem etery. TWa? interesting to laarn that when a Chinese is buried the bu ..al service is held in the late after ioon and on the grave is placed a : ousted pig. During the night tho .eighboring children slip out and eat .lie pig and leave the bones on tho jave, and the next morning the rela tives go to the grave and find the ^oncs and think the ghost has eaten .he pig. Let it be understood that Chinese children don't eat the pig. for .he cemetery is in a Portugese com nunity. Waikiki Beach ?
