(Copyright, IMS. by Rev. T. S. Linscott, D-D.) Easter Lesson. I Cor. xv: 12-28. New is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. I Cor. xv:20. Verses 12-13. Does the doctrine of the resurrection of the body rest up on revelation or upon reason? Providing the soul Is immortal ip It, or not, of material importance whether the body is ra'.u4. or not? If there Is no resuiTectlon of the dead, it follows as Paul here states, that Christ is not risen; but Is the converse true, that if Christ Is risen then ajl human beings will necessar ily be resurrected? It seems that some In Corinth de nied the resurrection of the dead in the sense that there is no life after death, now if that were true, then how much would there be left in Chris tianity? What is the process of reasoning that demonstrates the fact of immor tality? What is the scripture proof of life after death? Can you mention a single nation or tribe of the past, or at the present, which has not believed in immortality in some shape? Verses 14-17 If there is no resur rection of the dead, how would that make their preaching vain, make our faith vain, and make them false wit nesses? Verses 18-19 How is it that all men instinctively believe in the im mortality of their departed friends, and expect to meet them again? It was doubtless true in Paul's day that if there was no Immortality Christians were of all men most mis erable, because, they were then de spised, imprisoned and put to death; but is the same true today? Is not Christ's religion now a grand thing for this world, even if death did end all? Verse 20 What is the chief evi dence of the truth of Christianity? What is the proof that Jesus did rise from the dead? (See Matt, xxvi: 16-18; Mark xvi:14; Luke xxiv:36-38; John xx:4,5,14,26;xxi:4; Acts 1:3,13,30, 31; I Cor. xv:3-8, et seq.) Is the fact of the resurrection of Jesus to be proved by evidence, like any other fact, and is there any other historic fact better attested? Why was it, when Jesus was cruci fied that His disciples were a dispir ited band, having lost heart, and go ing back to their former occupation, and what was it afterwards that put new life In them, and made them the most courageous men that ever lived? (This question must be answered in writing by members of the Club.) What became the prominent theme of their preaching? Is it credible that such noble men, who afterward laid down their lives for the truth, would testify that they had seen and talked to Jesus after his dath, if they had not so seen him? Verse 21-22 Would there have been natural death if there had been no sin? Would there have, been any resurrec tion of the dead, if Jesus had not been resurrected? Verses 23-28 Was Christ the first man to rise from the dead? When will the general resurrection be? Will Christ finally abolish death and destroy sin? Has God put all the forces of nature under the control of Jesus? Lesson for Sunday, April 18. 1909. The Conversion of Saul. Actsix:l-30. Gold and Silver Medals Bibles Books.
