A Message of Hope and Assurance
By THE REV. BILL ALSUP
PASTOR. ASSEMBLY OF COD CHURCH
"But If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead
dwell tn you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth In you."
Rom. 8:11
The Easter season and the event that It commemorates
carry the crux of Christianity. It Is that part of Christianity
which sets It apart from all other religions and removes it
from the realm of being merely another philosophy. This prin
ciple Is set forth in the 15th chapter of Corinthians, the 3rd
and 4th verses which state, -that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that
He arose again the third day according to the scriptures." Many
are the Individuals of bygone generations and even of today
whose moral goodness, benevolent attitudes and humanitarian
activities are exemplary, but there Is only one risen Christ
This fact of His resurrection has a two-fold effect on the
lives of those who regard it as proof of His claim and that of
his followers that He Is the only Savior of mankind. According
to the Phillips Translation. Peter states In Acts 4:12 that, "In
no one else can salvation be found. For In all the world no other
name has been given to men but this and it is by this name
that we must be saved." This Is the heart of the Christian
Gospel. Christians everywhere upon the acceptance of this fact
cry with Thomas of old. "My Lord and my God." John 20:28.
The first effect that the Resurrection has upon believers is
to answer the age old yet ageless question voiced by Job: "If
a man die shall he live again?" Job 14:14. The fact of the
resurrection answers that question with the authority of the
Resurrected One, "Because I live ye shall live also." John 14:19
The second effect is an immediate and continuing one in
the lives of those who "believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ."
Christianity is not the "Pie in the Sky" religious philosophy
that critics and agnostics have branded it to be. It is entering
into a vital relationship here and now with the living ever
present Savior. Our first scripture Informs us of this relation
ship. To make it clearer, we refer again to the Phillips Trans
lation of the same scripture: ' "Nevertheless, once the spirit
of Him who raised Christ Jesus from the dead lives In you
he will, by the same Spirit, bring to your whole being new
strength and vitality."
The message of Easter Is a message of hope and assurance.
A definite hope for the future and full assurance that we may
live here and now a vital, useful and meaningful life infused
with divine energy.
Muscles are Sore
But Receipts Soar
At Donkev Game
Now that the Heppner High
school whirlpool bath fund has
a big boost of $200 from Sat
urday night's donkev basketball
game, some limping male fac
ulty members and senior ath
letes are wondering, at this
point, just who were the don
keys. But even though the 4-footed
animals may have made mon
keys out of the players, the lat
ter took it in the best sports
manship, and the unexpectedly
large crowd roared their ap
preciation. Some of the faculty members
took some real spills in the ac
tion. Coach Don McClure prob
ably getting the worst treat
ment. Others for the faculty
were Athletic Director Pete
Glennie, Coaches Bob Clough
and Jim Potter, Jerry Jonasson,
and Rex English. Two students
came in as reserves for the fac
ulty to give them a lift when
they got tired late in the game.
The students were Simon Win
ters and Melvin McDaniel.
The senior athletes won the
game by the big score of 8 to
4. Among their numbers riding
the donkeys were Carl Bauman,
Stu Dick, David Anderson,
Bruce Thomson, Sherrill McDon
ald, Larry Heath, Greg Pierce.
Dave Hanna, Lee Daggett,
Wayne Evans and Ron Jones.
Don Munkers and Dean Rob
inson refereed the contest
A balloon contest and a game
of musical chairs were added
features. The game consisted of
four 8-minute quarters.
Glennie said that the spon
soring H-club hadn't expected
such a fine turnout from the
community and was surprised
with this response.
"We had about 450 people up
there that we hadn't seen be
fore," he said. "They all had a
lot of laughs."

Mark Halvorsen was mentioned
by Bill Barlow, Jr., president of
the American Water Skiers as
sociation, as one of six boys who
dominated the boys division in
competitive skiing. Mark Is still
young enough to be in the same
boys' division this season.
"A specialist in jumping, Mark
does not compete in the other
events. It is rare for anyone to
make the elite Century club in
the boys' division because of
ramp height and boat speed, but
Mark made this last season and
still has a full season to go.
While Mark is just one of the
many excellent water skiers of
McNary Yacht club, he is the
only one at the present time rec
ognized as being of national
caliber by the AWSA. Mark, stu
dent at lone High school, is son
of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Halvor
sen, lone.
Rockhound
Corner
At the recent meeting of local
rockhounds, President Ed Gonty
was the surprised subject of a
happy birthday song. The club
presented him with a tie bar
and cuff links set featuring
rhodonite.
The club voted to start a lapi
dary (rock work) library and
display it in Gonty's store. These
volumes will later be given to
the city library. First two books
will be, "Gem Cutting Shop
Helps," and "Quartz Family
Minerals."
Since March has a choice of
two birthstones, both were re
ported on bloodstone by Gonty
and acquamarine by El wood
Boyd.
The next meeting of the rock
club will be Saturday night,
April 24', at 8 p. m. All are in
vited. Looking for mimeograph sten

TO THE
EDITOR. . .
April 1. 1965
To the Editor:
The bill to abolish the elective
office of Labor Commissioner,
HB. 1855, has been Introduced
and passed by a House commit
tee so fast that I thought you
should know why.
The bill Is a direct result of
the bitter battle and political
maneuvers over revision of the
apprenticeship law. It is a meth
od of political retaliation against
the Labor Commissioner for try
ing to straighten out a disrup
tive personnel problem, and for
supporting the proposals of an
interim legislative committee to
improve and expand the appren
ticeship program.
Government ' reorganization
should not be legislated on the
basis of spite and retaliation, or
to gain partisan political advan
tage. Please don't confuse these
political maneuvers with the
calm and objective studies of
constitutional Revision Commit
tee. In the midst of conflict be
tween the pressures and inter
ests of labor and management
and between unions I am hap
py that the office of Labor Com
missioner is responsible directly
to the voters. When I do what is
right, I have confidence that the
voters will back me up.

The wide approval this time
would seem to Indicate Increas

ly In view of the fart that the
budget was the largest from the
standpoint of expenditures In
the history of the system. It
will not require quite as much

"Oh, I'll take It easy for a

Tuesday.
Fortunately it was a mild at
tack, and it is good to hear that
he is coming along well on the
