MUZLES AND MUZZLES
Our war and navy depart­
ments while asking congress
for millions of dollars of spend
ing money have belittled the air
aorvice, which in all probability
will decide future wars.
A spectacular show was given
some time since when a hulk was
bombarded from the air, care-
being taken not* to harm it, and
then it was destroyed by gun
fire from a ship.
Brigadier General Mitchell ex
posed the farce, a fter having, at
the direction of President Coolidge
obtained authority from his su

PERNICIOUS DIGNITY
The people of the United
States pay more for luxuries
than for articles of necessity.
The tobacco and candy bills ot
the country would suffice, if
saved, to feed every man, wo­
man and child rationally and ac­
cording to the natural laws ot
health.
But the most expensive bur­
den of waste we dhrry is placed
upon us by the nationul and
sta te legislative bodies.
Governor Pierce, by the use
of the veto, has cut off half a
million dollars of the waste
which
the recent legislature
wished upon us. Vice-president
Dawes on inauguration day
created a sensation and some
m irth And some wrath by men­
tioning some of the costly fool­
eries which the dignified United
States senate imposes upon us.
The amendment of the senate’s
rules which he outlines as need-
id , the cutting out of the
’ filibuster” from among sena­
torial practices and a settling
down to transaction of business
instead of killing of time would
cause a big cut in the cost of
govern
fem m ent and soften hard
riait«. but is sucb a boon to
the pul»lic probable? Not in any
■way yet apparent.
The response of the senate to
the plain honesty of Mr. Dawes'
statem ent was a drawing back
farth er into the shell of "digni­
t y ” with which th at body pro­
tects itself from anything like
common sense or common hon­
esty. For it is quite as dishon­
est for a lawmaker ¡is for a hod-
carrier to shirk and loaf on his
job a t the expense of his em­
ployer. The people who carry
the burden of taxation aie the
employers of congress and ot
the state legislatures, and when
those lxxiies fritte r away their
tim e on non-essentials and when
they make extra sessions neces­
sary because their work was not
done when it ought to have
been, they dishonestly cause us
millions of dollars of expense.
But what do they care? They
get their salaries, at figures fix­
ed by themselves, and the world
wags on.

The resurrection of Christ Is one of
the foundation truths of Christianity.
Its entire superstructure stands or
falls upon Its reality. It Is the grand
proof that Christ was what He claimed
to be, the Messiah, the Son of God
(M a tt. 12:39 40; John. 2:10-21). His
resurrection authenticated his claims.
I f Jesus did not rise from Joseph's
tomb, H e was not the Son of God, nor
a true prophet (H e said frequently
while alive that He would arise),
neither a Savior; not even a good
man, for H e would then be a falsifier
However, If H e did arise, all that He
said concerning Hltnself Is true. His
resurrection declared Him to be the
8011 of God with power (Rom. 1 :4).
I. The Empty Tomb ( w . 1-10).
John does not enter Into a descrip­
tion of th e ’ resurrection of Christ, but
soys the tomb was empty, and that
Jesus had repeatedly manifested Him ­
self a fte r the tomb was found empty.
To see the body of Christ w ith u spear
thrust and nail prints, and then the
empty tomb was all that faith needed.
1. T he Testimony of M ary Mugda-
lene (vv. 1-2).
This woman out of whom Jesus had
cost seven demons (M u rk 10:9; Luke
S :2), announced the fact o f the empty
tomb to Peter and John. Prompted by
great love to H im for His kindness to
her, she went early to the tomb even
•when It was yet dark.” “She was last
at the cross, and first at the grave. She
■toyed longest there and was soonest
here." This woman's love for the
Master was genuine though her knowl­
edge as to H ts resurrection was defec­
tive. She had realized great good at
Hts hand, therefore she could not rest
in tll »he had done h e r utmost for Him.
2. Personal Investigation by Peter
■nd John (vv. 8, 10).
The news of the empty tomb which
Mary brought w ith breathless haste so
moved John and Peter that both run
to Investigate. When John came to the
Mnpty tomb he gazed Into IL but Pe­
er entered IL This Investigation con­
vinced them. T he removal of the stone
from the sepulcher and the arrange­
ment of the grave clothes convinced
them that the enemy could not have
lone this.

She
should have been rejoicing that the
grave was empty, for the empty tomb
was eloquent proof of H is mesglah-

for weeping
(1) M ary Question«-.I by the Angela
(vv. U -1 8 ). She viewed through her
tear« angels at the tomb who Inquired
as to the cause of her sorrow. She
replied. "Because they have taken
away nsy lo r d and I know not where
they have laid H im ."
(3) Jew s Reveals Him self to Mary
(vv. 14-16). She first saw the angel«
■nd than her eyes lighted upon the
Lord. As soon sa He called her by
name she recognized H im and fell at
H is feet weeping.
