FIRST EASTER
Mary Magdalene Meets the Master
Mark 16:9-11
Now when Jesus was risen,
Early the first day of the w r eek,
He appeared first to Mary Magdalene
Out of whom he had cast seven devils.
And she went and told them
That had been with him
As they mourned and wept.
And they, when they had heard
That he was alive
And had been seen of her.
Believed not!

including businessmen,
housewives with children and

homes in Florida to seek
refuge on higher ground as a
result of a vision experienced
by Mrs. Dulce Garcia of
Guatemala.
Mrs. Garcia predicted
devastation in Alaska, Cali
fornia, Mexico and Peru. The
vision included a great wave
of water that would engulf
the entire state of Florida.

thank their many friends for
the flowers, cards, tele
grams, calls, food, prayers
and other acts of kindness
shown during their hours of
bereavement. Elizabeth

the total that left Zephyr

congregation left Florida,
but some went other places.

refuge in Tennessee and
