Perspectives of the Resurrection
By the REV. MELVTN DDCON. Pastor
Heppner Methodist Church
The ChrUtian calendar once more announces to mankind
that&SrblE our attenUon to the Risen Christ to receive

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

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!

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

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

A young woman had Just fin

uoon leaving the Instructional
center, spied a man looking face
down over a flooded gutter, ane
ran to him. flipped him on his
back and began to apply mouth-to-mouth
