Christ’s empty tomb is the shin­
ing gateway to Heaven!
“Now upon the first day of the
week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre,
bringing spices which they had pre­
pared. And they found the stone
rolled away from the sepulchre.
And they entered in, and found not
the body of the Lord Jesus. Behold,
two men stood by them in shining
garments and said unto them, Why
seek ye the living among the dead?
He is not here, but is risen.
The proof of the finished work of
Jesus is His resurrection. It is the
very climax of the Gospel. Accord­
ing to Paul the “ Good news” is
that Christ died and was buried
and raised again from the dead to
save us.
The substitutionary sacrifice of
Christ is only a part of this. The
capstone of the Gospel is that Je­
sus not only died, but that He arose
from the dead. The symbol of
Christianity is not the cross, or,
still less, a crucifix with a dead
Christ upon it! A far more fitting
symbol of our Christian faith would
be an empty tomb!
For this reason every Gospel ser­
mon ever preached by the apostles
- Peter, Paul, or any other - inclu­
ded and emphasized THE RESUR­
RECTION. It is the resurrection
which is the proof of the efficacy
of the death of Christ, for had one
sin remained unatoned, He could
not have risen. His resurrection is
the proof that EVERY SIN was
atoned for on the cross. Remember,
“The wages of sin is death” . But
He arose and proved that He HAD
FINISHED the work, and that God
was reconciled.
When Jesus died on the cross for
our sins-He died for all of them.
When we are saved by believing
on Him, all our sins are forgiven-
past, present, and future-for all
our sins were future when Christ
made atonement for them. This
fact should impel us to live a life
of holiness and separation unto
Him.
Love’s redeeming work is done
Fought the fight, the battle
won!
Death in vain forbids Him rise;
Christ hath opened paradise!

this meeting in a body in lieu of
holding a local meeting this month.

appear. The rally is fortunate in
arranging to have Dale Evans in
her place.

young people to Portland and it
will load at the carport at the high
school at 5:15 p.m. Saturday. The
first 45 to pay the 50 cent fee will
ride the bus.
The banquet which had previous­
ly been planned for this month but
was postponed because of the con-
fict with the smorgasbord, is now
planned for April 16 at 6:30 p.m.
at the EUB church dining room.
Tickets will be $1.25 and following
the banquet, a rally will be held at
which the film, The Misfit, will be
shown.

“Wanted!”, a girl with a dairy
background, willing to travel more
than 15,000 miles next year, meet
celebrities, appear on television,
hold newspaper and radio inter­
views, act as hostess at civic
functions, and, in general, wear
the princess crown of Oregon’s
dairy industry.
Sound exciting? It is. And these
are just some of the benefits that
the 1966-67 Oregon Dairy Princess
will receive after she’s selected
this summer at the eighth annual
Oregon Dairy Princess contest, in
Portland, at the Sheraton Motor
hotel.
Other benefits the 1966-67 dairy
princess will receive include: a
complete “ Princess” charm course,
a scholarship, a $350 wardrobe, and
she becomes a part-time public re-
lati ons employee with the Oregon
Dairy Products commission.
Oregon’s present dairy princess,
Joyce Williams, is a graduate of
Amity high school and is the daugh­
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Wil­
liams of Rt. 1, Box 231, Amity.
She was selected from among 15
area finalists last year. Miss Wil­
liams is a resident of a 125-acre
dairy farm with 15 milking Hol-
steins. She has accumulated an
outstanding 4-H record in cooking,
food demonstration, and dairy ani­
mal projects.
Note to newlyweds:
as surely as love and marriage
go together, need for family
security follows immediately.
Don’t delay calling us. We can
check your needs prom ptly
and arrange a sound plan of
insurance within your budget
. . . to assure you of realistic
protection against the possi­
bilities of financial loss.
