Johnson of Junction City, toward the establish ment of farmers’ credit associations in Oregon, similar to those that have been in operation in Denmark, Germany, and other parts of Europe, for more than a quarter of a cen tury.

Through farmers’ credit associa tions, as conducted in Europe, a property owner is enabled to obtain long time loans, in amounts as great as half the value of his prop erty at six per cent and have two per cent or one-third of the interest money laid away as an insurance to be paid to him in time of emerg ency or at the eud of a stated peri od. By selling bonds, an organiza tion of this sort can obtain money at four per ceut, which upon being loaned to its members at six per cent, leaves two per ceDt in the treasury, which at compound in terest soon amounts to a substantial portion of the principal.

Yours very truly, Once again has the glorious Easter Day come. We pass from the recollec tion, for the time being, of the suffer, ings and death of the Messiah, to a con templation of His triumph. The dark ness of the tomb has faded away. I think it is very significant that Easter comes in the Spring, for Easter dis pelled the gloom of the grave, and Spring drives before it the gloom of Winter. Possibly the happiest time of the year is Easter. I hardly think that state ment too broad. Christmas is a happy time, for then we celebrate the birth of our Redeemer. But at Easter we commemorate His resurrection from the dead; we celebrate His triumph over His last enemy. As we commemorate this Easter has occasion, Christ shown let to us the remember world that that all power is given unto Him, both in heaven and in earth. It was not possible that Christ should be holden of death. He was above its power; he was superior to it. True, His body must succumb, but in three days he arose triumphant. This shows greater power than had He never died. It is an historical fact that Christ arose from the tomb. It is beyond the power of successful contradiction. It may transcend human reason, but it does not contradict it. To deny the Resurrection is to show the narrowness and the ig norance of the mind. Might as well deny the battle of Gettysburg. It would be just as reasonable.' Christ had told the Jews that if they should destroy His body. He would build it again in three days. He did so. Men could crucify Him and place Him in the tomb, but they could not keep him there. Christ arose, and because o f this we shall arise also. The question has been asked—If a man die, shall he live again? It has been answered by all nations. All peoples of history have believed in immortality. They may have had crude ways of expressing the belief, but they held to the belief. And today the be lief is stronger than ever. In fact, the more enlightened the nation, the great er is its belief in immortality. Job said that in his flesh he would see God. Christ said; “In My Father’s house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you.” He said that if we would be faithful unto death, He would give us a crown of life. Should not these promises keep us faithful? I shall be gathered to Him on the Resur rection Morn, no matter whether this old body lies in some grave in a beauti ful hillside cemetery, or at the bottom of the seas. He will find it—He said He would, and that is sufficient. But it will then be made like unto His own glorious body. I believe this flesh is precious to Him, and that He will bring it to Himself for complete purification. Let us this Easter morn arise from our selfishness, from our doubt, from our indifference, and from our sin, into newness of heart and of life. May this day be a blessing and an in spiration to you. May it increase your faith. May you behold your Risen Saviour. “For though from out this bourne of time and place, The flood may bear me far; I hope to see my Pilot face to face, If you step into a place and they Wnen I have crossed the bar.” ’ shun you to your face, Your Pastor, mad; C.
