II PERSONAL CHALLENGE
We on the home front face one
of the most personal challenges
of this war to date. That chal
lenge is whether or not we are
willing to sacrifice to a sufficient
extent to lend our government
thirteen billion dollars within
the next few weeks.
To do the job, you and I, and
everyone we know, are going t
have to dig down in our soc 1
to dig out some of those dol
lars we have salted away for
rainy day as well as to take
good hunk out of this month’s)
pay check.
This is a job that has to be
done. Sure, we on the home
front are feeling the pinch m
war. We have gasoline ration
ing, food rationing, higher lax n
and a lot of other little discern
forts. But they are nothin)
compared with the agonies facto
daily by our men men from
this community among them
out there on the fighting Iron.;
of the world.
Yes, we know that this con
slant demand for more mone,
out of our pockets and out of o.
paychecks an increasing amount
each month is monotonous. L>
so is sitting in a fox-hole or
ing in a slit trencn day al l
day, slogging through toe i,
of a humid jungle or that, of
hara sand.
Our sons, friends, brothers,
husbands and otuers we
are doing that for us. Tnoy an
lacing something more terno.i
than culling down on a fVu
tilings that we once thoug t
were essentials to the Amene.
standard of living in order to >
it, too. As Secretary Moige
thau lias said; “Snail we be
more tender with our dollars
than with the lives of our sons? ’
The Second War Loan is an
order to the home front to go on
a new offensive. Your d*
lars are the weapons i
this attack. They will makv
possible the passing of the am
munition to those boys up there
in the front lines. To win thi
war is going to cost more ano
more money- -and more and
more lives. But the pi ice oi
ireedorn is high. We can not:
we dare not let our fighting men
down.
You can’t let others do this
for you. \ou must pitch in wun
your dollars. Just keep in mn ,
those boys in the front ]!•-* •«
They give their lives -you lend
your money! Don’t wait for
someone to come around an d
ask you to do it. Do it todav
and do it until you feel worthy
of them.

THE RISEN LORD
LESSON TEXT—John 20:1-17.
GOLDEN TEXT—He Is risen.—Mark 18:8.
I
“Christ is living! My people shall |
know it. I shall preach about it
j again and again until they believe
I as I do.” So exclaimed Dr. Dale of
London when the glory of Christ’s
resurrection laid hold of him as
never before. There began that day
the custom of singing an Easter
hymn in his church every Sunday
morning.
Easter has come again, and it
ought to make us glad to recall the
resurrection power of Christianity
in the midst of the world’s awful
sorrow and death. Easter should j
mean more to us than ever this 1
year, if we believe in Christ. If we |
do not, why not rid oui selves of the
dark garments of unbelief, and put
on the bright and beautiful garment
of faith in a living Christ. Let us
be clad in His righteousness.
The first Easter Sunday had scarce
ly dawned when the faithful Mary
came td the tomb. Finding the stone
rolled away from its entrance she
ran to find Peter and John. What j
they came and saw, and what—or ]
rather who—she remained and saw, j
make up our interesting lesson.
I. Peter and John Saw the Empty
Tomb (vv. 1-10).
Peter, though he had denied his [
Lord, was not sent away by his ;
brethren. They knew his true heart, I
and evidently the gentle and loving
John had taken him to his home. 1
Mary knew where to find him. What
a tender incidental indication of the
Christian spirit of the brethren of
Peter.
John and Peter ran to the tomb, j
The unusual news so stirred them 1
that John the younger did not think 1
to await the slower steps of Peter, j
Ho came first, but when he did he j
only looked in. Peter had no hesi
j tation, but went right in. What he 1
| found there was most significant.
Here was twofold evidence that (
j the body of our Lord had not been j
stolon. The burial clothes were !
there. They had not been carried off
by a thief. Nor had they been
snatched aside by a deceiver. They j
lay in order. There off to one side,
carefully folded, was the head cov- j
oring. Jesus was gone, but He had !
left in all the dignity and majesty of i
a triumphant Lord.
tVhat they saw caused John to be
lieve. It appears (v. 9) that they
had not yet understood the clear |
teachings of the Old Testament re-1
garding the death and resurrection I
of Christ. They were slow to be-)
Heve. Let not any in our day, with
its greater ligtt, fail to believe.
Peter and John came and saw—
and then “they went away again
unto their own home.” And so they
missed seeing Christ Himself.
11. Mary Met the Risen Christ j
(vv. 11-17).
The tears of Mary were the genu
ine expression of a devoted heart,
but they were nevertheless mistaken
tears. The question of the angel re
veals that fact. Why weep because
His body was gone, when that was
the very thing which should give her
joy? Why weep over a dead Christ
when He was alive? t
How often our discernment is
dimmed by tears and our judgment
warped by sorrow. We look on the
wrong side of our circumstances and
see only a tangle of threads and
blurred colors. On the other side
God is weaving a pattern of beauty
and blessing, which will be our joy
through all eternity. Why not re
member that now?
Blinded with tears and troubled in
heart, Mary did not even recognize
the Lord when He spoke to her. But
our Lord looking into her soul and
knowing that it was her very love
for Him which made it hard for her
to think of anything but His death,
gave to this true-hearted woman the
privilege of first seeing Him after
His resurrection.
As He spoke her name, she knew
Him. We recall that Jesus Him
j self had said that He was the Good
Shepherd who “calleth his own sheep
by name” (John 10:3-14).
He knows your name and mine,
fellow Christian, and one day we
too shall hear His voice even as
Mary did on that day. She believed ,
j and worshiped. Let us follow her
example this Easter 'day.
There is a danger that the observ
ance of Easter may lose its real
significance in the empty inciden
tals which the world would have us
believe make the day. It is a holi
day. There is thought of new clothes,
of formal church attendance, of fam
ily gatherings, of fWwers and feast
ing. They are all right in their prop
er place. But let us be sure that no j
adult fails to meet the risen Christ
today, and let us be sure that the
smallest child knows that this is
more than the day of bunnies and
candy eggs. They will rejoice in the
1 knowledge that a victorious Christ
lives to give them eternal life.
Let us really “keep the feast” this
year, purging out the leaven of
hypocrisy and dead works, and re- 1
membering Christ (see I Cor. 6:7, 8) I
