he opened to us the Scriptures.” Luke
24:32 Read Luke 24:13-32.

to light, blindness unto vision, doubt
unto faith, despair unto hope, sorrow
unto joy, death unto life. “O fools, and

PEACE BE UNTO YOU
ES ees
“Came Jesus and stood in the midst,
and saith unto them, Peace be unto
you.”—John 20:19.
Read John 20 :19-23.
“Fear doth make cowards of us all.”
Defeatism was at full swing, as the
disciples shut themselves away from
everyone because of fear of the Jews.
I wonder if they had forgotten the
words of Jesus: “Fear not them which
kill the body, but are not able to kill the
soul: but rather fear him which is able
to destroy both soul and body in hell.
When we have little within we are not
fortified without. In the midst of ab-
ject fear and stark doubt and unbelief,
Jesus appeared in their midst with words
of marvelous reassurance. “Peace be
unto you.” Had they forgotten he had
said to them: “Peace, I leave with you,
my peace give I unto you; not as the
world giveth, give I unto you, let not
your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid?
Let us today never forget that His
Peace is ours. .
Peace does not mean the end of all

By Roy L. Smith
A real understanding of the resurrec-
tion will work a miracle in almost any
man.
The Christian church would never
have come into existence except for the
resurrection of Jesus.
Easter is the promise of victory to every
Christlike ideal.
As long as we have Easter we have
hope. ~
Life begins at Easter.
Any recreation that is wrong at Eas-
ter time is wrong at any time.
Ever since that first Easter Jesus
has been met by all kinds of men in the
most unexpected places.

PRAYER THOUGHT
By William Chalmers Covert
May we, O God of Life, rise anew this
day into a clearer faith and a more
vivid understanding of the glorious
mystery of the endless life through
Christ. May something new and con-
vincing leap forth from the precious
but oft repeated story of our Lord’s
resurrection that shall vitalize every
article of our believing faith and charge
our souls with a spiritual passion that
will burn in us throughout the days
and weeks of’the year. May a world
where millions mourn their dead find
anew the great hope of, immortality.

This day after Easter, let us walk the

way the night he went to the church on
Aldersgate Street, when he testified
that as the minister read Luther’s Pre-
face to the Romans, his heart was
“strangely warmed.”

Got Something Out Of It
A little boy attended church service
for the first time. On the way home he
said to his father: “Daddy, wasn’t that
nice of the man to pass money around
to us on a plate? I got seventy-six
cents; what did you get?”

FOR THE HEATHEN
A missionary collection was being
taken. A man next the aisle whispered
to the collector “I’m not putting any-
thing in, you see I don’t believe in mis-
sions.”
“Well, here, take some out,” said the
collector, “It's for the heathen.”

They Have Taken Away My Lord
And I Know Not Where They Have
Laid Him.—John 20:13.
Theme: “The Recovery of Christ”
This is the sobbing wail of a woman
that comes to us across the centuries.
She came to discover the tomb empty.
Met a man who seemed to be a stranger.
He asked why she was weeping. She
replied that she had come to anoint the
body of Jesus. “If you know anything
about it, tell me.” He called her name,
—"Mary.” she was filled with com-
prehension. Many have called my name,
my wife and children, but no one can
call it like mother. Sometimes in the
night I hear her call now. I awake and
look. This woman was Mary Magda-
lene. The other Mary,—you never read
about her,—the sister of Lazarus. You
may read of her at home being instruct-
ed, adoring, but Mary Magdalene fol-
lowed hin. At the final hour after the
tragedy and climax of Calvary she came
fo the tomb to discover Jesus. This is
EEE Ed what the world is doing and has been
doing for 2000 years.
I
In early times they attempted to dis-
cover him in stately cathedrals, some
of which required a century to build.
St. Peters and the Sistine Chapel in
Rome where Michael Angelo wroght in
marble and art. They tried to bring
Him back. They sought thru Gothic
architecture and marble. In Samaria
Jesus told a woman that God is a spirit.
Everywhere are stately churches but
God wilt not necessarily be there.
We attempt to recover him in music
until some genius writes Handel’s Mes-
siah. So we have our vested choirs.
But human devices will not suffice.
They are only aids. Weare lifted db,
harmony, melody, song. We say in
the Methodist Church “Means of
grace.” I haye seen some churches
where they have all means and no grace.
This is the thing the church is set for,
to make real the revelation of Jesus.
I do not know how many lives of Christ
I have,—Frenchmen, Italians, English-
men,—all trying to discover Christ.
We preach from the introduction to
John, but no one understands it,—the
Logos, the Word. We have so much
ceremony and form that we lose the
reality. I have heard many sermons
but few messages. If you made it up
it is no message. No one can speak the
word of God, but God himself. Preach-
ing is like a dry bed of a river. He is
a channel but empty. He'll stay dry
until the Day Spring from on high
visits him. Why we need a revival! The
divine current fills the channel. When
he comes, backsliders come home, sin-
ners rejoice. St. Paul says we have
this treasure in earthen vessels. The
word reverend is in the Bible only one
time and then it refers to God. The
people pay us a salary and support us.
The people come to church not on our
account. They come hoping that thru
you the word of life may be spoken.
I looked at the preacher, stewards,
trustees, for the Lord. They go to
hear a strange man who comes to town
to see if this evangelist has Him. They'll
go and go to test it. They'll say “he
is not there.” Many leave our churches
and we scold thém. We should not.
| They think the other folks have it.
Some join, jump and shout. I don’t
care where they go if they find Him.
If you have Him, study, read//The New
Testament was written after he left.
The church had something that is not
in the Bible. “A more excellent treatise
O Theophilus, write I unto thee in
order of all the things which Jesus did
from the beginning. That thou mightest
know with certainty wherein thou hast
been instructed.”
It '
There is a secret. A little crowd wait-
ed in the upper room. A preacher can’t
fool people long. Nothing happened un-
til they got down to business and emp-
tied themselves. God can’t send his
Holy Ghost and fifl you until you are
empty. He will send the power if you
repent. Sometimes you have to repent.
When that happened’ the Holy Spirit
came.
We are going thru an outward form.
We go thru a ceremony ‘set up by the
church, but the power comes from God
‘pray for him. He is standing
n th
for God. If he has not been called, sent
and touched by the divine fire, his fate
will be awful. Paul said that he found
it. Everybody is arrested. The main
point is he knew it was Jesus. You know
when you meet Him, whether at altar
or at home. “I have seen the Lord. | TRAINING FO
He told me to arise and to stand on my.
feet.” You shall get it by the things
you shall suffer That is how you will
find it. Don’t get excited. Nothing is
going to empty the church. Television
will not empty the church. We've got
something that is not out there. Let
them go, they will come back. The soul
is hungry for redeeming love. Dr.
Spivey talked about Adam’s sin. I do
not know anything about it but I know
about Reverdy Ransom’s sin. It is hard
for a scholar to make it. Socrates al-
most made it. He was not crucified,
but drank the hemlock. Ghandi almost
made it. You must have your sins blot-
ted out— I mean blotted out. John
3:16. Life forever, Life beyond the
grave. The older men said heaven was
searched. They searched the angels,
the seraphim, the tall archangels. There
was one who stept forward. “Prepare
me a body, and I'll go.” The seed of
Abraham, Mary’s son. Heaven touched
earth. Folks nearby said they heard
angels. There is only one way back,
—suffering. You've got to pay the
price for your sins. God is not going.
to permit you to go up and sit with the
saints. I see him out yonder on Calvary.
A sinner like Reverdy Ransom,—he is
crooked and sinful. “I am the Lamb of
God, came by the way of man, to die
for you.” Logic and Philosophy can’t
do it. It is God’s way. If you want him)
you can find him. On the cross he
takes away the sins of the world. Paul
says He has translated us into the sons
of God. “I saw Ransom coming up to
the cross and I redeemed him!” Sins
blotted out! You get light! Earth falls
away! You are eternal. “I remember
your sins no more.” Men dig you up.
He does not do it that way. If he is
going to remember you and I have no
chance. “Go on in. It is alright.” No
wonder the world looks at this thing.
Nobody but God and the man and wom-
an that knows it. r
Jesus told the story of the good boy,
and the wayward boy, when he was
a long way off his father saw him. His
face was turned toward home. All God
wants. He is my son, He was lost, now
he is found. That is the gospel you
preach. Jesus is ageless, never gets old,
boundless. It is timeless. You know
about time. Bye and bye, you get where
you need no watch or clock. Don’t envy
your rich man. When Mr. Rockefeller ,
gets down to the border line he will,
be naked and penniless. People who fill
their lives with passion, and lust have
nothing to carry them over. You can’t
quote science and philosophy. We have
it here! “ I'll take him up from the
gates of death and pour redemption in
his soul.” I pity a suicide. I’ve lost all,
turns on the gas, at home when things
go wrong. In an hour like that there
should be something you could stand
on, a star to guide you. I am the Light.
That is why Mary could not find it.
Peter thinks he has it. Jesus walked
with the antedeluvians, preached to the
spirits in prison, but came back with
death chained to his chariot wheels,

HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This ‘remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He ncticed a peculiar grayish color of clay.
He discovered that by its coming in contact with air and water its
color became reddish. As this man worked several days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor skn irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him.
Then people in the neighborhood began tp examine and experiment
with this grayish clay and soon found that 't contained medicinal quali
ties.

FOUNDERS DAY ADDRESS
MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE AS A

By R. E. Pharrow
When in 1881, Morris Brown College

Powell, and James Porter laid a foun-
dation upon which was builded the
greatest super-structure of education
ever devised by Negroes for the higher
education of Negro youth in the South
to be manned and maintained by all
Negro faculty. Indeed, it was a mar-
vel that such a gigantic undertaking
should be attempted by men who, just
sixteen years before, had emerged
from the most cruel bondage eyer in-
flicted upon any race under the canopy,
of heaven. These men who had looked
into the distant future had been turned
out into the world like cattle upon a
thousand hills with’scarcely a place to’
lay their heads, but with faith in the
great God of the Universe and con-
fidence that leaders would come forth
to carry on, they said, “He who would
be free himself must strike the first
blow.” z
Many were the predictions coming
from foes within and without that such
an undertaking would soon result in
failure; that the promoters were ignor-
ant, untrained, inexperienced and would
not be able to find teachers with suffi-| ple of Georgia that we mus

The immortal Longfellow wrote well
when he said:
“Thou, too, sail on, O. Ship of State!
Sail on, O Union, strong and great!
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all its hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What workman wrought thy ribs of
steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
*tis of the wave, and not the rock;
tis but the flapping of the sail
And not a rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest’s roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee;
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our
tears,
Our faith triumphant o’er our fears,
Are all with thee, are all with thee.”

Today we have a highly trained
professional man, using all the
advanced methods of science and
offering a multitude of services
which were never expected of his
predecessor. As the, result of
this advancement, the public re-
