SHELLEY PREACHES
ODELL EASTER SERMON
One of tbe Hood River valley's moat
beloved pioneers is Rev. Troy Shelley.
He has participated in the joys and
sorrows of all pioneer families. The
following sermon was preached by
Rev. Shelley at Odell last Sunda.
Subject, "The Law of the Resurrec
tion.1' Text, II Tim. 2:11. "If we be
dead with Him, we shall also live
with Him."
Not all laws relating to the resurrec
tion , but the grand law of the resur
rection, is found in this verse.
God is a God of law, just as truly as
He is a God of mrecy, or a Gou of
love. In fact, he always works ac
cording to law. This is very readily
acknowledged in nature, but not so
readily in revelation. It is my purpose
to try to show you that He not only
works according to law in spiritual
things, but that the laws in the two
domains of nature and spirit are the
same exactly the same. If this be
so it as strong proof, conclusive proof.
1 may say that the author is the same ;
that the book of nature and the book
of revelation were made by the same
hand.
But it is not for the comfort of this
proof I seek to study the laws of God
today. It is the assurance I feel it
will bring a timid soul in contemplat
ing death. I want him to know that
the law of the resurrection is as etern
al, as far reaching, and backed by the
same power, as the law that sends the
planets circling round the sun and con
trols the whole universe of God.
The subject of the text is death and
life, and I want to notice the laws of
death and life in nature and in revela
tion. Let us look at these laws a little.
Vou will notice that death is men
tioned first. Does death come first in
nature? That depends. If you speak
of one stage of life only, life comes
first and then death. But if you sneak
of changing from one stage of life to
another, death comes first and then
life.
In everything in the world that has
life in it, as plants, animals and hu
man beings there is a constant evolu
tion of life, a constant change from
one stage of life to another. And in
this change death comes first, and then
life. In every change, before the new
life begins death in the old life inter
venes. The plant grows, matures and
brings forth seed. In this seed is
wrapped up a new life. But before
this new life begins the seed must die
and rot in the ground. The egg must
die before the chicken is hatched. The
environment from which the animal or
child . in the womb received its life
must die when it is born into the world
into a new life. Jesus noticing this
natural law, said: "Except a corn of
wheat fall into the ground and die, it
abideth alone ; but if it die, it bringeth
forth much fruit."
The law is so true and so plain there
is no question or dispute about it by
anyone. In truth the evolution of the
world at creation was according to this
law. It was in a state of chaos, of
darkness and night ; a state of death,
and light and life followed. And so
the evening, typical of death, and the
morning, typical of life, made up the
day.
When we turn to the book of God
and study it we find that exactly the
same law governs the spiritual world.
There are two ways in which we die
with Him : The death to sin and the
natural death. In both of these we are
passing from one stage of life to an
other, and in both of them, everywhere
in the word of God, death comes first
and then life. Let us pee. First the
text, "If we be dead with Him, we
shall also live with him." Let me
give Borne others. In Galatians, "I
am crucified with Christ, nevertheless
I live." In Romans, "Knowing this,
that our old manjs crucified with Him,
that henceforth we shall not serve
sin." Also, "Likewise reckon ye also
youiselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
but alive unto God through Jesus
Christ our Lord." In Ephesians' He
tells them to put off the old man and
to put on the new man. In Colossians
he says, "For ye are dead and your
life is hid with Christ in God."
1 might give many more, but this is
enough to prove that exactly the same
law exists in the spiritual world that
is found in the natural world. To
change from one stage of life to an
other, the universal law of all creation
is given in the text ; death first and
then life.
And, mark you, it is not simply
death and then life, but one hinges up
on the other. Just as truly as the
grain of wheat must fall into the
ground and die before it lives in the
new life in the stalk and the blade,
and the ear just so must you die to
the old life of the flesh, the life of sin,
before you can live the new life of the
spirit, which God gives you in the new
birth. And just as truly must your
body die and decay before you can live
in the resurrection body with Him in
glory. "Flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God."
I have been speaking of the law of
death. Now for a moment let us turn
to the law of life. There is just one
law for it all throughout God's crea
tion. All life comes from God. Man
has the power to destroy or kill in any
form of life that God has made
plants, trees, animals, men even to
the taking of his own life. He has
built great plants for the manufacture
of guns and ammunition for the de
struction of the life of animals and of
men. And just now across the'ocean,
he is engaged in slaying his brothers
by the thousands.
' But while he has such power to de
stroy and to kill, so far as creating or
giving life is concerned, he is helpless
as the new born babe. The life of all
creation comes from God, and He alone
can give it. From the lowest weed
that grows to the highest type of man,
all receive their life from Him.
It seems that God has given man
almost unlimited power in many ways.
He can reach out and measure the
stars and weigh the planets in his bal
ances. He can foretell an eclipse to
the very minute, years ahead. He can
talk over a wire, and even through the
air, thousands of miles away. And he
rides under the sea and in the air. We
sometimes think there is no limit to
his achievements, and wonder what
the next few years will bring forth.
But when the poor man stands beside
his dead and vainly, impotently longs
to bring back the life again, he has
met with something he cannot fathom,
something that all his power and geni
us can'never solve. The taking of life
may belong to man, but the giving of
life belongs to God, and God alone.
The same law holds in the spiritual
world "The gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord. "
Just as the chemist ; though he knows
by analysis every ingredient of the lit
tle seed he may hold in his hand ; can
put all these ingredients together in
the same proporition in the same bulk ;
but he cannot put the life there, he
cannot make it grow. Just so a man
by doing all the good things he is able
to do and by working at it a lifetime,
con never put eternal life in his poor
dead soul. As God, at creation,
breathed into man th breath of Kite
and be became a living soul, so Paul
says, "If a man be in Christ he ia a
new creation.' God haa breathed into
him the Holy Spirit, and he has got
ten, in one flash, something he could
never get in a lifetime of work and
struggle.
Now we come to another thought in
the text It ia not only that you must
die first, and that the next life hinges
on this death, but you must die with
Him. What is it to be dead with Him?
It is true that He died to sin, and we
die to sin. It ia true that He died the
natural death, and we die the natural
death. But it ia clearly something
more than that, for all die the natural
death, but all do not die with Him. In
Thessalonians, it is said the dead in
Christ shall rise first. Then there are
some who are not dead in Christ ; they
are not dead with Him.
When you have His life you have
Him. To be dead with Him ia to have
His life in you when you die, just as
the aeed has the life germ in it when
it dies.
Not all seeds have life in them.
All eggs are not fertile. Some ani
mals and some people are barren. The
life principle is not there. It is of no
use for the seed to die in the ground if
the life is not in it. It will not grow.
It is in vain the apple tree blooms if
they are not pollenized ; there will be
no fruit.
Just so in our natural death ; if you
have not the life of Jesus in you when
your body dies, there will be no life
beyond ; nothing but the second death,
the death of the soul. But if you have
His life in you when you die by all
the laws of nature, and all the laws of
God, with all His power to back them,
you will live; live with him in glory.
There is another thought. What you
sow does not come up ; it always dies
in the ground. But something comes
up, always of the same kind, though
never the actual substance. For in
stance, you sow wheat, and wheat al
ways comes up ;-never oats, nor barley,
nor any other grain ; but the actual
grain you sow always rots in the
ground.
So Paul says; "That which thou
soweth, thou sowest not that body that
shall be, but bare grain, it may chance
of wheat or of some other grain ; but
God giveth a body as it pleaseth Him,
and to every seed his own body. So
also is the resurrection of the dead. It
is sown in corruption ; it is raised in
incorruption ; it is sown in dishonor, it
is raised in glory ; it is sown in weak
ness, it is raised in power ; it is sown
a natural body, it is raised a spiritual
body."
Don't think for a moment your ac
tual body will be raised in the resur
rection. It will never be. It will
rot in the ground like the seed that is
planted. Thank God for that ! I don't
want my lame back, nor my lame foot.
Yo.u don't want your weak eyes nor
you weak heart, nor your weak lungs.
0, glorious thought! It is raised in
incorruption.
At the bottom of this is a most com
forting thought. Let us hasten to it.
While the grain you sow never comes
up, yet it is so like it you never have
any trouble in telling if it is wheat or
rye or oats or barley. God giveth to
every seed his own body, with its own
strong individuality. So also is the
resurrection of the dead. So, just so,
1 know I shall know my father, my
mother and my dear friends in glory.
In Los Angeles once, when there
were immense throngs of people and
vehicles of all kinds at the crossing, I
saw an old man waiting to cross over.
Pretty soon a policeman came and took
hold of his arm with one hand, holding
him up so he would not stumble nor
fall ; with the other hand he held up
the throng of dangerous vehicles and
made a safe path for him to the other
side. O, my brother, you must cross
over to the other side, and it is more
than a street crossing. Jesus is the
great policeman. "Yea. though I
walk through the valley of the shadow
of death I will fear no evil, for thou
art with me."
To all of you, in Christ Jesus, who
are nearing the end of life's journey;
whose eyes are dim, whose steps are
feeble, whose strength is slipping
away ; you are not nearing the tomb,
you are nearing the resurrection morn
ing. It will soon be planting time, for
some of us. And, if we have been
planted together in the likeness of His
death, we shall be also in the likeness
of His resurrection."
Thousands of years ago in the oldest
piece of literature in the world a man
cried out in anguish, from a heart of
agony, "If a man die, shall he live
again?" The cry echoed down the
ages. In the long years that followed
no comforting answer was ever given
till Jesus rose from the dead. Then
the answer came echoing back from a
man inspired of God. - "If we be dead
with Him we shall also live with
Him."
Increase in Maxwell Prices
Anderson & Keir, local distributors
for the Maxwell Motor Car Co., an
nounce an- increase in price on May 1.
Touring cars will be advanced from
$635 to $665 and runabouts from $620
to $650.
"'The increase is made," says C. C.
Anderson, "because of the increase in
the cost of high grade materials used
in the manufacture of the Maxwell,
and because the policy of the Maxwell
Co. will not permit of cheapening its
product."
The local Maxwell agents have
equipped a display room at the corner
of Second street and Cascade avenue.
They have recently sold and delivered
a Maxwell touring car to Herman
Dethman.
Why Constipation Injures
The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they be
come obstructed by constipation, part of
the i-ei&onous matter which they should
carry off is absorbed into the' system,
making you feel dull and stupid, and
interfering with the digestion and as
simulation of food. The condition is
quickly relieved by Chamberlain's Tab
lets. Obtainable everywhere.

MARY BAKER EDDY
MEMORIAL DEDICATED
The memorial to Mary Baker Eddy
the discoverer and founder of Christian
Science, erected in Mt. Auburn ceme
tery at Cambridge, Mass., was on Sat
urday, March 24, turned over to the
Christian Science Board of Directors
by Elbert S. Barlow, of New York,
who had charge of its construction.
Over a year and a half has been re
quired to complete it Christian Sci
entists throughout the world have con
tributed, as expressions of sentiment,
the entire cost of over $150,000.
The memorial is of Bethel white
granite andVonsists of an open circu
lar colonnade of eight columns 15 feet
in height surrounded by a comice and
cresting. The space inside the colon
nade is to be filled with growing flow
ers. The columns rest on a stylobate
of three steps, which also rest, at one
side, on a broad platform of Pompton
pink granite BHti, at the other, which
is alxnit five feet lower, on a double
flight of circular steps. These are
flanked on each side by a large pylon.
The pylons were exhibited a short time
ago at the American Institute of Arch
itecture in New York, and were pro
nounced by several experts to be the
finest pieces of carved granite ever ex
ecuted. The detail is elaborated to an
extent never before attempted in gran
ite ; some of the stems and leaves are
practically free-standing, ' so great is
the relief.
Interviewed regarding the memorial,
the architect Egerton Swartwout of
New York, said : "The site is singu
larly pleasing; in fact I question
whether a finer site could anywhere be
found. It can be seen from all sides
equally well, close at hand from the
cemetery road, and from a quarter of
a mile away across the lake. Indeed,
it is this body of water which forms
the chief beauty of the site. There is
a drop of approximately 10 feet from
the level of the road to the level of the
lake, there being a natural terrace on
the axis of the plot which lends itself
admirably to the architectural develop
ment of the memorial. The lake is
unusually still, and has a mirror like
quality which reflects admirably the
white granite of which the memorial is
made.
"As to the memorial, I think it can
be said without contradiction that,
leaving aside entirely any artistic ex
cellence, such perfection and delicacy
have never been attained before in this
unyielding and enduring material.
There is certainly nothing in modern
times that can approach it nor, as far
as I know, in any of the monuments of
antiquity."
Mr. Swartwout designed the new
Missouri state capitol and the new fed
eral building in Denver, and recently
won the competition for the new
George Washington memorial.
All that now remains to be done to
complete the memorial to Mrs. Eddy is
the planting for the landscape, which
is to consist chiefly of some evergreen
plants that will preserve their form
and leaves throughout the year, and
some cedars and rhododendrons.
