There are sonu* today dis|*>sed to <piii?!i!e over tlie matter and to claim that Jesus died on Thursday and not o:i Friday. Surely, liowevt .*. ail van toncede that it natters nothing to us en whieh day of the week he died, nor tiie number of hours l.e was in the tomb, whet In f se\.ei!y-t w<> hours to tiie minute or a less e.\;e t time. With us the important <|Ueslioii is. Did ho die? I?i?! he arise fr?t:i the dead? Was there n value in his sai-rili-ial death, from the I?ivine standpoint, and how is that value <>r merit made applicable to mankind. and itave we ohtaiited our interest therein ae< ording to the Divine terms? "Ho Rc-e A^ain on tho Third Day" Willi the majority of Christians for these many ?a isniries we agree that Jisus was in tlie tomb parts t.f three days and nights; that li" died on Friday afteruoon. and sli.at he arose from the dead early en Sunday morning. Hut we el'.' u-?t < onto::''mis. Let who likes b"lieve that he died 011 Thursday or Wednesday or Tuesday or another day; this is a matter of no in:portative. The all-important matter is. "He e\ or iiveth to make intercession for us." (Hutu. SI.i The stone at the mouth of the s ? ilehre was not a large boulder, as many- suppose, but was shaped like a wheel?like a large grindstone. It rolled in a groove, but being lie ivy. would be cumbersome and difticult for the wouieu. as suggested. The sorrowing friends of Jesus did not realize at the tiuie what he had taught them resi>ectiug Ids crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. Hence they were surprised with every incident of their experience on that eventful Sunday mowing. The angel appeared in dazzling brightness, that he Wight not be mistaken for n man. He told the women who brought spices for the embalming of the Lord's body that their Master was risen from the dead?that lie was no longer dead; that they would see him iu Galilee; and to so tell his disciples. On the way Jesus met tlfem and revealed himself to them. Ai >ther account tells us that Mary, separated from the others, met Jesus alone and. mistaking him'for the gardener, asked whi'her the corpse had been removed. Then Jesus re veiled himseil to nor. ueeogniztng ner Master she him by the feet as though ufrahl that lie would leave her: but, different from his previous eourse. he declared. "Touch tne not. for 1 have not yet ascended to my Father and your Father, to my <Iod and to your God." Instead of delaying to commune with tne. hasten at once to leii Peter and the others of my resurrec. [ tion. How careful was the Master that Peter should be mentioned by name, lest he should feel that he was forever rejected because of having do nied him! For forty days Jesus was with his disciple-; s.nd during that t.me i?e up1 >> ?!. ? "1 s.i.at' yu'll <; eight times. cording t ? ai, .hi.* uiaVic;!i iiccouiiis. Once lit' appeared us gardener. Once he appeared as a traveler to two of the disciples going to Euimaus. Again he appeared ou the shore of the Sea of Galilee to soule of the disciples who were reluming to the tishing busiuess. They knew it was Jesus, yet iie was different lrnm formerly. Hut we read that they did not dare ask him respecting the matter. lie appeared again to above live liundred believers in the mountains of Galilee, ami dually, by appointment, he met the eleven [ at the top of the Mount of Olives and i ascended out of their sight?a cloud receiving him. only on two occasions are we informed that he appeared with nailprints in his hands and the spear wound in his side. And on these two i ocAsions we are distinctly told that he tip) 'ared in their midst, the doors being Siut. and that he vanished again from \eir sight. Thus %id Jesus demonstrate to his disciples the fact that lie was no longer dead, but alive, and additionally, tbe other fact equally important, namely, that he was no longer alive as a man. but as a spirit being. As St. l'aul declares, "He was put to death in llesh. but made alive in spirit." Hut every precaution was taken to peruut tueir natural powers of observation to comprehend the spiritual truths revealed to them respecting Jesus' resurrection ; and ascension, it was ten days after | his ascension, on the fiftieth day from his resurrection, that the holy Spirit j came, and thus demonstrated at once that the Redeemer lived and that he luid appeared in the presence of God ! on the spirit plane and thi'.t his sacri: lice had been presented and was acI ceptable to God; and. on the basis of j his sacrifice and the imputation of his | merit to the disciples, the sacrifices i which they had presented in ids name were accepted, and they were begotten i of the holy Spirit, that they might also i become New Creatures and share iu bis Kingdom and glory. Hit Death and Resurrection Needful It Is needless that we seek to dispute as to which was the more important event?the death of Jesus or his resurrectlou from the dead. IJoth were equally Important. Had he not died there would be no basis for a reconciliation of Adam and lis race condemned to death. Hud he not risen there i would have been 110 one to apply the 1 merit of his sacrifice. Had he not : risen there would have been no call of the Church duiing this Gospel Age to be the liride of Christ Neither would there have been use for the ' promised Mediatorial Kingdom to be i established at his Second Coming for j the blessing of Israel and the world. ,,n T Hia Mrrt 1 nils Jt'MlS I'AJiluiiiru IU luc HIV I with whom he walked to Emniatw on I the day of his resurrectipn. saying. 0 I slow of heart to believe all that God hath spoken in the Law and in the Prophets!

The eleven Apostles were commissioned. "(Io ye, disciple all nations." (V. 19.) This did not signify, as some suppose, a command to convert the | world. It meant that they should J make disciples out of people of all uai tionalities?and not any longer, as for; merly, of the Jews only. And the | Master's injunction has been fulfilled. Disciples, followers of him, have been ' found in all nations. But, as Jesus did not say, Convert nil nations, neither has the Gospel message done this. Those accepting discipleship were to ' be baptized with Christ's baptism in the name or authority of the Father. Son and Holy Spirit. In all. these have been but "a little flock."
