Truth About Easter
Lesson for April 9, 1950
"TTP THIS WAY,” writes a friend
^ in a great city, "the hats and
the bunny-rabbits have run awaj
with Easter.” The fact is, th«
world has stolen Easter and mad<
something silly out of it. The world
will not believe the
truth about Easter,
yet the world wants
a holiday.
The Man from
Mars, visiting our
planet at Easter
time, would have a
hard time guessing
what the festival
means. Rabbits?
New clothes? A Dr - Foreman
day off? The return of spring? Nol
at all, nothing of the sort. Bunniei
and hats are gay; but the righl
word for Easter is not Gaiety, it if
Glory.

God’s Victory
'pVEN IN churches you will not
always hear the whole truth
about Easter. You may hear thaf
it is the festival of Returning Hope,
or that it s. u.oolizes new life, oi
that it stands for the triumph o/
faith over despair, or that it ex
jpresses our belief in immortality.
In a way, all these ideas about
Easter are true, but if that is all,
then we have not yet got down tc
the truth about Easter.
The fact is—the fact which give*
a solid ground for all these othei
facts—the first Easter was the daj
when God raised Jesus Christ from
the dead. It was the day of God’i
victory over death, when the gatei
of death swung backward and th«
bars of death were broken.
The truth about Easter is
that something happened on
that day that never happened
oefore and never will happen
again. Because never before
had the Son of God risen in per
sonal triumph from the grave,
and never win that have to be
done over again.
If it were not for that fact, Jesus
might have been remembered as «
long-dead Jewish teacher, a hope
ful but mistaken and defeated
teacher, a name to be found onlj
in encyclopaedias. But the trutli
about Easter is that Jesus is not
dead, his hopes were not mistaken,
he was not defeated, his Name is
above every man! He is the Chris
tian’s living Lord.
• • •
His Power in Us
T hat strangely twisted
man Kierkegaard called Chris
tianity "God’s attack on man.*
You could not get that idea from
the New Testament.
’Marvelous as it is, Christian
ity is God offering to man the
power to rise oat of oar dead
selves, to do for ns what we
eonld never have done for our
selves. What has this to do
with Easter? Just this: That
when the Apostle Pan! wants to
explain what the power is
which God sets at our disposal,
what it is like and what it will
do, he tells ns it is the same
power with which God raised
Christ from the dead. (See 1
Cor. 6:14; Eph. 1:19,20; 2:6;
PhiL 3:10.
You see the truth about Eastei
Is that it is the day when the Chris
tians celebrate the most tremen
dous act God ever performed on
this planet, or rather that day when
God brought to a climax the whole
mighty action of the coming and
the life and death of Christ. And
that is the power which is avail
able for the Christian.
• • •
A Christian
Is Supernatural
I F ALL YOU WANT of God is to
have him do something for you,
then you are rather like a baby
who keeps crying for some one tc
bring him more toys . . . but he
stays a baby. If your want of God
Is to have him do something with
you, in you and through you, then
you are Idee a child who really
grants to grow up.
The Christian is a supernatural
oeing. As C. S. Lewis puts it, we
are not God’s little toy soldiers,
are are intended to be his sons and
daughters.
Bat if the Christ Is the
"first-horn among many breth
ren” then here in this life those
who accept him have access to
the same power that wrought
in him. And at the end of life
we shall not be afraid, know
ing that we belong to the same
God who raised our Lord from
the dead.
The glory of Easter is not some
thing merely to be remembered or
lung about; it is something to be
experienced. The same God who
conquered death "giveth ns vic
tory through our Lord Jesua
Christ.”

Record Throngs
Eager to Hear
'Noisiest' Band
HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. — The
cash register’s steady jingle is
drowning out the cowbells, door
bells, trolley gongs, ringing
anvils, bicycle pumps and timed
flitguns of the world’s noisiest
orchestra.
Spike Jones, the comic band
leader with the concave face, has
made music depreciation an art.
And how this clanging, banging
and squealing pays off is a wonder
to behold:
On tour last year, Jones’ outfit
commanded $120,000 for 16 days
at the Texas state fair. They got
$12,500 a week in big hotels at Las
Vegas, Nev., and St. Louis, Mo.
The smallest stops among a hun
dred cities guaranteed $3,500 a
night, or 60% of the gross. The
average, except in the largest
spots, was $5,000 a night. College
towns got off with a flat $3,500. In
Milwaukee Spike drew 5,000 to
the Coliseum at the state fair
park.
Spike’s recording of a single
number, “Twoi Front Teeth,” sold
1,100,000 copies in six weeks.
RCA Victor sent him a golden
record, framed, and an extra
frame for the second golden rec
ord RCA expects him to win with
sales of the reissue of the same
number.
Jones has just signed with pro
ducer Harry Sherman to make a
comedy western. Spike’s seventh
film but his first as the star.
The 1948 tour, 125 one night
stands, grossed over $1,000,000.
Spike’s junket in 1949 nearly
matched that figure although the
band "took it easy” by staying
longer in some cities.
This is big business for a guy
who started with a washboard and
a $10 set of cowbeHs. The revenue
isn’t all gravy, however. Spike
takes about 40 people on tour,
augmenting the band with singers,
acrobats and comedy acts. They
travel in a chartered train of two
Pullmans and a baggage car.
Spike estimates traveling ex
penses at $700 a day.
Salaries come out of the gross,
too, and Spike’s side men are ex
pensive. They have to be good
musicians to kick a piece around
the way they do. Jones’ travesties
may sound like uproar to the un
initiated, but they are very care
fully arranged.
His style is com, but it’s sharp..
His most steadfast admirers are
sophisticates — not hillbillies.
Among Spike’s fans are conduc
tors Arthur Fiedler and Leopold
Stokowski.
