Happy Easier, Easter Miracle' Guest Editorial by Pastor John Milbrath John 11:25-26. Jesus said to Martha. “I am the res urrection and the life; he who believes in Me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” So you find it hard to believe the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead? Listen to me: There are more miracles, and more and more, going on in your life right now — right while you read this — than you could ever believe. If one of His angels (for He is there, alive, you know) were really to come and tell you, right now, of the mir acles He is doing for you, you would laugh a little. In embarrassment. Maybe in fear. Most likely in the feel ing that someone was playing a joke on you. By what miracle is life sustained today? By what miracle is the madman’s finger kept from the atomic switch? By what miracle was your brain formed in your Mother's womb, even before your birth? By what mir acle has His imprint come upon your mind, your person ality, even your body and the look on your face? You talk of impossible miracles! Even the theologians are dodging them now — they are such obstacles to faith! And the theologians who are writing these things down are writing by the power of the miracles of the Lord in themselves! Or who keeps their hearts beating, their planet spinning? “Gnd is dead,” is easy to say. Nietzche said it, and then someone scratched it out and wrote underneath, “Nietzche is dead.” It was a good line. He could have added. Nietzche wouldn’t have had time to write, with out God. — Without the Easter Lord, and the Father of Lights who raised Jesus Christ, the Prince of Suns, from the dead. — Without the same Easter Lord who, right this min ute. is keeping you alive unto Himself! You talk of miracles — how fantastic they are? How incredible? How way out there? Who brought you this far? Who gave you even the courage to ask it? Put a hand to your pulse. When you touch the beating of it, remember that the world could have blown up in the years shortly before you were born. In fact, the scientists weren’t sure it wouldn’t when they tried their first pretty experiments in that football stadium. Chain reactions, you know. Feel the miracle now? Well, every day is another one. Every day is a little resurrection — if you believe in miracles, that is.

Bellon Wins Trip To Caribbean Resort LETTER To the Editor THE GATE CITY JOURNAL ! THURSDAY. APRIL 7. 1966 A Plea for Help Last week many of us felt very badly when one of our boys was sent to the reform school. Of course. we can't have drunken I driving Maybe at his third of- i fense he might have killed one of us. But is Wasn't drinking his only offense? will he be a better lx>y now . . . Will he be helped to overcome his weakness or his best self be I restored? Has he had a chance? I With alcoholic beverages on our grocers’ shelves and in many home refrigerators, is it any won der that our children learn to ■ drink early? The last issue of 1 ‘'Impact’’ put out by the Oregon Liquor Control commission, tells of a boy who started using an al- colic drink at six years1 of age and died when eight years old of i alcoholism. Statistics show that one out of every nine social drinkers become alcoholics, and the number is ris ing rapidly. Will your boy or girl be on that list ... a ruined life? I Isn’t it time that we take a more serious attitude about the whole matter of drinking? Couldn’t some man in this town have been a big brother to that fatherless boy to help him to a better life? Maybe there is some other boy who might be saved from going to the reform school! Sincerely, RUTH C.
