Previous articles discussed the events of died, so also shall all be made TheyH Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo the final week of Jesus' life amonr men, culminating in his crucifixion on Good Friday. Today's meditation on the Resurrection is by a dis tinguished Baptist theologian who is dean of the University of Chi cago Divinity School. By the Rev. Dr. Waller Harrelson Written for the Uniled Press Christian faith is faith in the Resurrection. On Easter morning we celebrate as awe some and glorious mystery, but it is a mystery which is central to the Christian faith. In I Corinthians 15 the apostle Paul shows just how significant the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is for the Chris tian. He begins by insisting that Christ's Resurrection is not a theory which he invent ed. It is an essential part of the Christian story which he had received. If he is to tell the story of God's saving deeds among men, he cannot ignore Christ's victory over sin and death. For this is of first importance. Why is it so important? Not merely because it is a part of the tradition. Paul uses great freedom in dealing with the record of Jesus' life and work. It is important, first of all, because it actually happened. Paul does not try to prove that it happened: he knows that this would not be pos sible. Even if it were pos sible, proof of the Resurrec- . tion is less important than an understanding of its conse- ' quences. But Paul has no sha dow of doubt that it did hap- ' pen. God Was Not Defeated ; God was not defeated on calvary. The powers of sin .; and death were defeated. Out - of death, life has come. A new age has dawned: The age of God's kingly rule among men and nations. Eyes of faith are needed to mark the character -f this new age, but in faiCh, its reality can not be denied. ' It is simply true that God ; has brought newness of life; meaning and power; joy, peace and blessedness to all mankind. ' Yet Paul is not content to - stop there. Christ's resurrec- j tion is the sure sign and seal that we too shall be raised alive. The rule of sin and death has been taken away, yet all men still die. They die, however, in a new situa tion. They will be raised. They will be raised, not be cause they have proved them selves worthy to receive such a gift from God, but because God has Himself conquered death in the person of His son. Paul next speaks, very mod estly, about what this Resur rection day will be like for us. He insists on speaking of the Resurrection of the body, not the immortality of the soul. It is much easier to make sense of eternal life if we think of the body as no more than a shell, a container of the real self the soul. This is not the way the Bile speaks. For the Bible, the "soul" is the whole self, not some inner, real self only incidentally related to the body. Just as man's redemp tion from sin involves total change in his person, so also his Resurrection must be a Resurrection of the self and hence, bodily Resurrection. How can we make sense of this view , of Resurrection? Perhaps the only thing to say is that we can not make full sense of it. But we can and must say that the issue it raises is decisive for the Chris tian. The issue is simply stat ed: Does God triumph fully over . sin and death, or does he not? Precisely how God triumphs we can not know and do not need to know. Paul speaks of a spiritual body which is raised at the " last day. Behind this speaking is his unshakable faith in the victory decisively won by God in Jesus Christ, a victory which is to have its full dis play and sway in God's own time.

This rapid growth of such protection was typical of the nation as a whole as people individually and in working groups acted to protect themselves against the financial hazards of sickness and accident. In 1956 alone, such payments by the life insurance companies to families in the Beaver State totaled $47.1 million. Of this, $28.4 million, or 60.2 percent, was in living bene fits, that is, was disbursed to policyholders themselves in the form of matured endow ments, disability payments, annuity pay ments, surrender values and policy dividends. The record of life insurance investments by regions over a span of years, reflects the character and de velopment of economic activity in various parts of the country new goods and. services being sup plied, people's demands being fulfilled. These life insurance dollars, set aside for protection and to come back as benefit payments in later years, con tribute to getting new processes started, to con structing schools, churches, waterworks, bridges, highways pipelines, electrical networks, and now to helping advance the atomic-energy age with all the peaceful applications that it can bring. Mortgages, of course, provide financing not only for home owners, but for farmers and businessmen, too for people in the suburbs, in the country, in the city. Mortgages owned by U. S. life insurance companies in the State of Oregon at the end of 1956 amounted to $356.6 million, covering 35,390 loans.
