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. '

Benefits
o u
THROUGH
LIFE
N
SUR
CE
In addition to the life insurance and annuity payments, the life companies distributed among Oregon families
in 1956 benefits of more than $13.5 million under accident and health policies, an increase of 100 percent in
only five years. 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.
