Paul writes of the certainty of endless life and of its nature. It is spiritual life. With spiritual bodies we shall be freed from the limitation of time and sense. Some ministers read with mourn ful accents Paul’s words, “O death, where is thy sting?” They should rather be read in exultant tones as a cry of victory through Him who has robbed death of its sting and stripped the grave of its power. Let us indeed thank God “who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” It is more than victory over physical death. Without- the hope of overcoming sin, eternal life would be a greater tragedy than eternal death. But eternal life brings the blessed possibility of moral resurrection, to every man. So amid the con stant wreckings of material things, let us have the assurance that our lives are not being lived in vain here. —Buy Defense Bonds— The regular monthly meeting of the Sandy Branch H. D. Club was held Wednesday, March 25th, in the home of Mrs. J. T. Holliday, with Mrs. Paul Edmunds as as sistant hostess. The meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. C. H. Bow ick, by reading the scripture and leading the members in prayer. Roll call and minutes were read by the secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Frank Dillashaw. Miss Bell’s demonstration for the month was a new way to cobk roast beef. This was very tasty and each member was enthused over the way she prepared her meats. We are learning more each meeting the importance of the scarcity of food and new and dif ferent ways ,to serve it. A delightful salad course was served by the hostesses. Reporter. Cotton Contest, 1942, Announced By Clemson -XX- Six Inch Sermon BY REV. ROBERT H. HARPER Christ and Life After Death (Easter) Lesson for April 5: Mark 12:24- 27; 1 Corinthians 15: 50-58. Golden Text: 1 Corinthians 15: 57. “Who knows anything about that?” So somebody asked con cerning future life. Confucius confessed his ignorance of life be yond the grave. Happily we are not left to our own efforts to learn of eternal life—it is reveal ed in the New Testament. The Sadducees tried to entangle Jesus with a subtle question. He at once disposed of them with a statement concerning spiritual relations beyond* the grave. Then he declared that God is the God ot the living and not of the dead. At the burning bush God spoke of being the God of men long Clemson, March 28.—The South Carolina cotton improvement contest will be continued in 194 h with a contribution of $2000 for prize money by the Cotton Man''- facturures Association of South Carolina, Extension Director D.
