EASTER SUNDAY'S MEANING Pastor Russell Shows Scripturally the Difference Between Awakening of the Dead and Resurreetion of the Dead. Several Were Awakened Before Je sus, but He Was the First Resurrect ed Th Church's Resurrection The Subsequent Resurreotion of the World. St Louis, Mo., March 23. Pastor Russell spoke twice bere today. We report his ad dress on the Res urrection, from the text, "He should be the first that should rise from the dead." Acta 20:23. With startling clearness the "IrSSjoOOsSBD speaker pointed out that bis text meant nothing less than It said; namely, that tbe resurrec tion of Jesus was the very first resur rectionthat no one had previously been raised from tbe dead. He led bis hearers back to Eden and let them bear the Divine words respecting the pen alty for sin "Dying, thou shalt die." He gave tbem the further formula of Jehovah's curse, or sentence, In the words addressed to Aduni after be had been cast out of Eden: "In tbe sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of It thou wast taken; for dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return." Genesis 3:17-10. The Pastor showed that this dying process operated lu Father Adam for nine hundred and thirty years before Its nctlou was completed; that Adam's children, the luuuau fumily, never were In the same perfection as Adum In the liuugc of God that they were born ou a lower plane, and wero fallen at tbe tlmo of birth. He quoted from the Psalms: "Behold, I was slinpcn in Iniquity, and in sin did my mother con ceive me." (Psalm 61 :B.) This, ho said, agreed exactly with the New Testament statement, "Death pnssed upon all men because nil nre sinners"; and ngnln, "There Is none righteous perfect, no, not one" all "como short of the glory of God." Romans 5:12; 8:12. 23. Next, tbe Pastor pointed out tbe meaning of the word resurrection, which In the Greek Is anastasts. It means, be said, not merely an awaken ing from the sleep of death, but a railing up again. Tbe word again sig nifies a raising to a former standnrd the one from w')icb they fell the Im age and likened, of God, which none of Adam's children have fully possess ed, because he lost It. While Jesus was of Adamlc stock, through Ills mother, Ills life and perfection came to Him from His prehuman state; and hence ne was perfect, a Son of God, "holy, harmless, undented, separate from sinners." "Not Possible For Him to Be Holden." St. Peter declares that It was not possible for Jesus to be holden of death. (Acts 2:24.) No cause of death was found In Illm. He delighted to do the Heavenly Father's will. It waa tbe Father's will that Jesus should demonstrate His loyalty and obedience unto death, "even tbe death of the ctobs." But this did not Interfere with the original promise of life everlasting to tbe obedient Hence It was not possible for Jesus to remain under the power of death, ns It Is not possible for God to change nis great purpose or to violate His agreement Hence the Apostle says that God raised Jesus from the dead on the third dny. Jesus was perfect on the spirit plane, before He humbled nimself to ex chance tbe spirit nnture for the ba nian, to become man's Redeemer, lie never forfeited nis right to lire, ne merely Inld It down In loyalty to the Father's will. Since lie wus unrniieu, Ills resurrection would mean His re suscitation In perfection. But It was not God's will that Ho should come back to perfection In human nature. He had already used that nnture for the purpose Intended. Ho was brought fully back from the power of death to the very highest piano of Bplrlt being; namely, the Divine nnture. Contract this resurrection, or bring' Itiir back .to perfection from death with the experiences that occurred lu any owakenliiES of the sleepers preced ing. Jalrus' daughter wns a member of the fallen race, imperfect; and the awakening of her and bringing net back to what she was before did not resurrect, or bring her ogiiln to the con dition of perfection in which Eve was before sin had deteriorated the race Consider from the same standpoint the widow of N'aln'i son and his awnk enlng, the awakening of Lnznrus, the brother of Martha and Mary, and the awakening of the dead mentioned In tbe Old Testament To have resurrected any of these sleeping ones would have meant much more than waa accomplished in tbem. It would have meant to bring tbem up to full perfection In the Imsge of God as It waa possessed by Father Adam " A, It waa. the awakened ones merely bad a few mor. years lo the preeeut " '-TV) Russell's started the query, How could those atoms of matter be re-collected for the resurrection of that bodgt St Paul answers the query, saying, Thou sowest not that body which shnll be." (1 Corinthians 15:37.) He declares that lu the resurrection God will give some a spirit body and others a human body. We are not question ing the Divine Power to do anything, but merely calling attention to the fact that what tbe Bible Bays on this sub ject Is thoroughly In harmony with rea son, and that our neglect of the Bible testimony got us Into confusion charg ing absurdities to tbe Word of God. Christ's Soul Not Left In Sheol. St. Paul's teaching Is thnt the resur rection for tbe world in general con sists of a re-awakeulng from the sleep of death, In a body similar to the one which dlod; and that when thus awnk ened, each member of the race shall have a full opportunity of being raised again to the Image of God, In which our race was created, from which we all fell through Adam, and a return to which has been provided for us through the death of Jesus. The time set apart for this work is a thousand years Messiah's Millennial Reign. St Paul speaks of a better resurrec tion coming to the Ancient Worthies, who proved their loyalty to God. (He brews 11:35.) Their reward will be that Instead of being awakened In an imperfect condition, to rise graduallj with the rest of the world, they will be awakened In a perfect condition. Another class that will not share with the world In tbe gradual resurrection Is tbe Church not the nominal church of mere professors, but tbe real Church of Christ those who walk In the foot steps of Jesus to the best of their ability. This class had its beginning at Pentecost There, through the merit of Christ's sacrifice, God began the "acceptance of the Elect to be the Bride of Christ, Jolnt-belr In His Messianic Kingdom. Their special blessing begins by their being begotten of the noly Spirit con stituting their start as spirit beings. Thenceforth their portion is to become dead to all earthly things and alive to all ncavenly hopes, ambitions, etc. As their change of nnture begnn when they received the Holy Spirit, It will be completed In the First Resur rection, when they will be given per fect spirit bodies. St. rnul snys, speak ing of this class, "We shall nil be changed; for "flesh and blood cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God." (1 Cor inthians 15:51. 50.) This Is the glori ous hope set beforo us In the Gospel.' Opportunity to gain a pnrt In this First Resurrection Is limited to this Gospel Ago. Only faithful followers of Jesus have any promise of a share In lt.-Revelatlon 20:4. Unbelief Staggers 8oms. All familiar with their Bible know well thnt the doctrine of the Resurrec tion of the Dcnd Is one of Its funda mentals. But their faith Btaggers at the thought of the Resurrection of the Dead, and this leads tbem to deny the entire matter. They do not tell us that they do not believe In the Resur rection of the Dead; but they teach that nobody is dcnd that when people appenr to die thoy are really more alive thnn they were before. Unwilling to admit that the really dead could be brought back to life, they claim that death Is a transition from a lower form of life to a higher one. After one takes this position, the wholo Bible becomes twisted. When ever we deny the denth penalty we deny the Bible, whether we wish to do so or not The Bible docs not sny tbut tbe soul thnt slnnoth shall experience transition, but "The soul that slnneth, It shnll die." (Ezcklcl 18:4, 20.) The Bible does not say that the wages of sin Is transition, but "Tbe wages of sin Is death." (Romans 0:23.) God did not say to Father Adam and Mother Eve, Because of your disobedience you shall experience transition, but "Ye shall surely DIE." Whoever would be loyal to the Bible must face this question. If he repudiates the Bible position be gets more and more Into dnrkness. Those who sny that death is not denth, must logically nsk themselves. Where do those go who seem to die, but really become more nlive? Then come In human speculations; for the Bible declares that the (load are dead Jesus snld, "No man hath ascended Into Heaven." (John 3:13.1 St Peter suld thut David the Prophet hnd not as cended to Heaven. Acts 2:84. The Scriptures declare thnt the dend are asleep wnltlng for the morning of the resurrection. Tho preaching of the Apostles In substance wns that there Is no hope of future life except by a res- urrectlon of the dead; nnd that there could be no resurrection Una not ChrlHt's death made possible the resur rection hope for mankind. I Corinth ians 15:12 21!. Qod Able to Raise the Dead.

The Flrtt (Chief) Reeurrection. Further along in his discourse the Pastor demonstrated thnt the Church of this Gospel Age Is everywhere sepa rate and distinct from all others of mankind: they nro neither Gentiles nor Jews. He mndo clcur, however, that be did not refer to tho 400,000,000 pro fessed Christians or to any particu lar sect or denomination, as the Church of Christ Ho gave Scriptures In proof of his contention that the Church of Christ is composed of all saintly be lievers in Jesus, seeking to walk In His footsteps not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. He called attention to the fact thnt no denomination could claim a monopoly of this saintly class, and that none could claim to be free from tares. In the Pastor's opinion, apparently, the vast majority of the 400,000,000 of professing ChrlBtlnns are merely tares or worse. He cited numerous Scriptures to the effect that the heirs of God, Joint-heirs with Jesus Christ are a "little flock," a "Royal Priest hood," a "holy nation," a "peculiar people," who "show forth the praises of Him who hath called them out of darknoss Into His marvelous light" The Pastor then declared thnt the True Church Is to be found In all the different denominations, and some of them outside all denominational fences. He showed that tbe denominational fences are contrary to the Bible. After making clear who constitute "the Church of the First-borns whose names are written In Heaven," the Pastor doclnred that these are to hnve a share with Jesus In Ills Resurrection. He quoted St. Paul's words, "That I might know Him and the power of Ills resurrection, being mndo conformable unto Ills denth."-Phlllpplnns 3:10. The Pnstor seemed to give the thought thnt In the Dlvlno Purpose a foreordained number of the Church class must suffer with Christ before the Millennium could begin. Their suf ferings would not bo vicarious, ns were Jesus' sufferings, nor necessary to tho redemption of the world, ns wero Uls; but tho Bufferings would be necessary In order to demonstrate their loyalty to God and to righteousness to prove tbem worthy of tho high honor of Joint-helrshlp with Jesus, nnd sharers with Him lu Ills Kingdom. The Church's suffering with Jesus, the Pastor snld, is their dying to earth ly conditions nnd ambitions, as Ho did. All who thus die with Jesus, willingly sacrificing earthly hopes, alms, ambi tions, nro counted as sharing In "Ills denth." Such are assured lu tho Scrip tures that they will also In God's due time share In "Ills Resurrection." Ills Resurrection" wns not only the First Resurrection, but also the chief, the beet, resurrection to tho very highest plane of spirit perfection the Divine nnture. Hence the promise to the Church to shnre In Ills Resurrec tion means that Ills faithful followers will experience a slmllnrly glorious resurrection to a higher nnture, the Di vine with Its glory, honor nnd immor tality. This Jesus also avers, saying, Blessed nnd holy Is ho that hnth pnrt In tho First Resurrection. They shall bo priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years." Revehtt Ion 20:(1. Esiter and the Passover. The Pastor snys that the word EAST ER occurs once In our Common Ver sion Bible nnd Is a mistranslation It should bo Passover. Easter was a fes tival honoring the henthen goddess of Spring, The nnmo was transferred to the Passover celebration of tbe early Church In honor of tho Lord's resur rection. Doubtless the attempt was to divert the heathen toward Christianity, keeping tho festival, but altering Its significance. Whatever tho word meant then, It stands now to the Christian ns tho synonym for tbe glorious resurrec tion of tho world's Redeemer from death and tho human uuturo to glory, honor, Immortality, tho Divine nature. So, suld the Pastor, the resurrection of Jesus Is the gunrnntee of the resur rection of "tho Church, which Is His Body." It also assures us of tho world's resurrection thnt an opportu nity through Messiah's Kingdom la to como to all mankind, to be recovorcd from the tomb and from nil their Im perfections mental, moral and phys ical. Only the willingly, Intelligently disobedient will ultimately dlo the Sec ond Death, which Ht. Peter describes as perishing like natural brute beasts. Reeurrection of the Soul. Many Bible students hnve fulled to note Hint tho Bible nowhere speaks of tbe resurrection of the tutdg. Their er ror hns given color to tho arguments of agnostics and others who point out the unreasonableness of such a proposl Hon. Thus the Resurrection doctrlno Is mnde to appenr absurd, whereas the Bible presentation Is most logical. According to Science, our bodies are continually sloughing off materials and through food replacing these; so that a complete change Is effected every sev en years; and thus n person llfly years old has had practically seven different budles. The argument Is that the mole rules of matter constituting tho body are not the Minn; that nny other atoms would serve tho purpose Just as well If bis Identity were preserved. Many are familiar with tho story of the apple treo whoso roots penetrated a coffin and fed upon the corpse so completely that the root, when dug up, resembled the human shnpo. The ap ples wero shipped lu various directions snd eaten by many people. Home ap ples were eaten by hogs which were killed, shipped and eaten. Thus the substance of the corpse pnssed IntJ many bodies In many place. TbU Priced $12.50 to $50.00 QUALITY MERCHANDISE NDISC vtartjUKir A Good Message.
