MELVTN DDCON. Pastor Heppner Methodist Church The ChrUtian calendar once more announces to mankind that&SrblE our attenUon to the Risen Christ to receive WThlT.5KS observance alon with th. advent of sorlne verifies as well the hopes and aspirations of those i-hosf faith and obedience are given to the Savior. As renew Id Srtni thlniS .break- forth In shoot and bud. the human , heart ? wmehow brightened by the f "Utence of natures We emerging from nature's death. This reflects aLso 5 of the soul; which leads one to ponder the perspectives of this greatest of historical events, vUtrl..i fnr. Of the three resurrection perspectives, the historical forces Itself upon us as the first Although there was no ep taph on HaVenor witnesses to His Immediate rising again, there Unf better attested fact than this momentous cccxson. - The angelic announcement was made to stunned and rrieved followers: -He Is Risen! He Is not here!" "I have wen the Lord!" said another, as witness upon witness was added to the company of those who saw the SiSr tomb, knew His presence and person during his post rSurrectbn appearances. Here is evidence that no honest mlyTuci of that first Easter gives creSe to an ever-contemporary reality, which is the resur rertion second perspective. Easter Is not only history and rperS U also present and Introspect This ends to SSrtts continuity. From the time that the Apostles from TaSus capitulated to the Risen Lord on the Damascus Road to the very present time, there have been countless millions who have known the Lord in Living We. too. know Him who can say. 1 have een the . Lord! through salvation and forgiveness of sins by fa th In Hlriu Our personal experiential resurrection from sin's death to SwtSali Newness In Christ Is affected by His transforming pW andveTand this Is nothing less than being a new Mature, where old things have passed away and all things are nw For the establishment of the historical perspective elves the dynamic to our own experience where the estrange Sent betwS God and ourselves nullified. We from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light; from spiritual death to abundant living. Sow these two dimensions of fact are the guarantee of our positive future resurrection which Is the third perspect ive; one of bright prospect Christ has conquered death and hell and the grave. He is Victor! Our faith and expectation, however, must remain strong in Him. The message of God through the holy Apostle (Romans 8:18) speaks of the mag nificent future that has been planned for us. As Phillips' Translation has it "The whole creation is on tiptoe to see the wonderful sight ol tne sons oi uoa coming own!" For when Christ who is our Life shall appear, then shall we also appear with Him In glory. This does not sound like God is dead! He Is very much alive and will continue as the ever-living Lord. Little won der that men of faith have an Inner awareness of the living Jesus and a glorious hope of the future! A Home for the Retired Announcement of the plan to construct Willow View Man or as a home for the retired should be greeted with enthusl- HeppnhJs lost many of Its senior citizens who were re luctant to leave. They had spent their lifetimes here, and they were adjusted to the quiet life of this rural eastern Oregon area with its peace and tranquility. , . .. So many have come into this newspaper office In the past five years to tell us with sadness that they were moving from Heppner after being here for a lifetime. The husband or wife had died, perhaps, and there was no suitable place to live in the golden years. - - On the other hand, the community Is always sorry to see these good people leave. They are the ones who helped build the county, the ones who have had an active interest in it, and the ones who have given it substance. , As planned by . the investors group, Willow View Manor will be a fine attractive structure to offer comforts, and con veniences at a minimum of responsibility for theenioi citi zens. It would be a development that would be a source of pride to the community. , The apartments in the manor will be suitable for couples PUTMAN FLYING, INC.

Hospital facilities are among the best, and there is a line corps of professional people doctors, dentists and otfters. Probably best of all Is that this Is a community that takes to others wjth open friendliness and genuine Interest. That's a big reason why some have found it so hard to leave. There is every hope that this venture will meet with suc cess. The men promoting It are to be congratulated for get ting It underway.
