NEWS FROM
A GRAVEYARD
Dr. Halford Luccock reminds
us that every story of the resur
rection in the Gospels ends up
as the story of a foot race. Good
news cannot walk. It runs. The
news of the resurrection of Je
sus struck those who first heard
it with such force that they start
ing running.
It is still good news, news that
is related to every issue in the
world.
In Ernest Poole’s novel, “The
Harbor,” one of the characters is
an impatient and headlong re
former, who has a strong disre
gard for history as being impor
tant. “History,” he says, “is just
news from a graveyard.” The
phrase is a very good description
of Easter. The best news for all
the world is news from a grave
yard in Jerusalem, a grave near
A green hill far away
Outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was
crucified
Who died to save us all.
Dr. Paul Tillich says, “In the
Nuremburg war-crime trials a
witness appeared who had lived
for a time in a grave in a Jew
ish graveyard, in Wilna, Poland.
It was the only place he—and
many others—could live, when in
hiding after they had escaped
the gas chamber. During this
time he wrote poetry, and one
of the poems was a description
of a birth.
“In a grave nearby a young
woman gave birth to a boy. The
eighty-year-old grave digger,
wrapped in a linen shroud, as
sisted. When the newborn child
uttered his first cry, the old man
prayed: ‘Great God, hast thou
finally sent the Messiah to us?
For who else than the Messiah
Himself can be born in a grave?”
That true story certainly em
phasizes the fact that Christ con
quered death. The Gospel stories
assure us of the death and burial
of Jesus. The soldiers, the wo
men, the high priests, the sealed
tomb—they are called on _ the
witness stand by the Gospel writ
ers to testify of the reality of
his death. Yes, Christ died and
was buried. We must never for
get that he “suffered ... was
crucified, dead, and buried.”
The good news of Easter comes
precisely because He died and
was buried. The new life would
not, could not be new life if it
did not come from the grave.
“. . . Except a corn of wheat
fall into the ground and die, it
abideth alone ...” Jesus died
and arose. The news of Easter is
that the Master conquered death.
What does that mean to us?
“Where does your great river
go?” David Livingstone would
frequently ask the natives of the
interior of Africa, pointing to
the Congo. “It is lost in the
sands,” they always answered
him. They had never seen the
sea to which the river irrestibly
made its way. “Where does life,
and all it stands for, go?” we
often ask ourselves. Who is stu
pid enough to say, “It is lost in
the sands?” Jesus’ death and
resurrection enables our ears to
hear the roar of the distant sea,
enables us to say with Paul, “O
death, where is thy sting? O
grave, where is thy victory? The

sting of death is sin; and the
strength of death is the law.
But thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my
beloved brethren, be ye stead
fast, unmovable, always abound
ing in the work of the Lord ..
Have you heard the good news
from the graveyard? Have you
really read the story, read it in
such away as to let it get into
the secret places of your heart?
It has changed life for millions.
It can do that for you.

Expanding State Government
Subject of Vandiver Talk
Lieutenant Governor Ernest
Vandiver spoke to the Blackshear
Lions Club Thursday night, pre
senting a factual outline of the
state government’s expanding
operations.
He traced the history of state
government from the time 15
years ago when expenditures an
nually were less than S6O mil
lion to the present when the
state budget is approximately
S2BO million per year.
The present administration in
its four years will preside over
the expenditure of approximate
ly one billion dollars, the lieu
tenant governor said.
Increasing population and the
demand for more state services
has been the cause of the tre
mendous increase in the cost of
state government, Vandiver said.
Bulk of the present state budget
goes for education and Georgia
is now spending the highest per
centage of its tax money for
schools of any state in the union,
it was stated.
Several special guests were
present for the Lions Club meet-
