For this corruptible must put on incorruptiong and this mortal must put on immortality. And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death where is thy sting? fFirst Cor. 151510 And St. John, the beloved Apostle, records the same sentiments, in these words: The hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the Voice of the Son of God. And they that have done good things shall come forth unto the Resurrection of life: and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of Judgment. fSt. John 5:28-29.1 The other Evangelists, Mark and Luke, as well as the Apostles, who were eye-witnesses of the Resurrection, and who were so much astounded when they saw the Divine Master again in their midst, breathing heavenly peace upon them, that they even doubted their vision and forced the Lord to eat with them, and to show them the wounds in His sacred hands and feet, before they would give up their incredulity, their unbelief, are most emphatic in their testimony, which, thank God, is still available to us in the pages of Holy Writ. Therefore, on the anniversary of this glorious Feast of Easter, let us rejoice and be glad with the Apostles, because we have truly seen the Lord. Make your vocation and election to eternal life sure, by ever living upright, virtuous, pure and holy lives, as becometh Catholic Christians, that being followers of the Master in this valley of tears, you may prepare yourselves for an everlasting, eternal Easter in heaven. Amen. - J, 5 .3 r 'ev .fy 'V k k 52

1926 The Marathon them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him. Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me. Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done. And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers, Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep. And if the Governor shall hear of this, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day. CMatthew 27:50 and 28:2 and following verses.J In this sublime, but simple way, St. Matthew, a Jew, relates the greatest event that has ever taken place in the whole world. The Incarnate Son of God, the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, dying as an outcast, a worm and no man, and then, after three days, coming forth as the Risen Redeemer, the King and Conqueror of death, that we might have life, and have it more abundantly. Who can fathom The Saviour's love for us! St. John, the beloved disciple, who rested his head upon the bosom of Christ, so close to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, tells us: God so loved the world as to give His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. CSt. John 3216.5 St. Paul, the great Apostle of the Gentiles, and the vessel of election, who had the great happiness to be elevated to the third heaven, gives us a discourse on the Resurrection, which is noteworthy and notable: For I delivered unto you, first of all, that which I also received: How that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures: And that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the Scriptures: And that He was seen by Cephasg and after that by the eleven. Then was He seen by more than five hundred brethren at once: of whom many remain until this present, and some are fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the Apostles. And last of all, he was seen by me, as by one born out of due time. Now if Christ be preached that He rose again from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen again. And if Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your Faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God: because we have given testimony against God, that He hath raised up Christ, Whom He hath not raised up, if the dead rise not again. For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again. And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain, for you are yet in your sins. Then they also that are fallen asleep in Christ, are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now Christ is risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that sleep. QFirst Cor. 15:3 and following verses.j From the days of Adam, when Almighty God commanded him not to eat of the forbidden fruit, under pain of death- in the day in which you eat thereof, you shall die, -down through the ages to the time of Job, whose hopes in a future life are so well-expressed in these words: For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the Last Day, I shall rise out of the earth. And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see my God. Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom, fJob 19:25-27.5 this same thought is expressed throughout the pages of the old Testament, until we find it promised by the Eternal Son of God Himself, when He says: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again. But He spoke of the temple of His Body. fSt. John 2:19-21.5 No Wonder St. Paul tells the citizens of Corinth in his own days: Behold I tell you a mystery. We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed. In a moment, in the twinking of an eye, at the last Trumpet, for the Trumpet shall 51

She then turned to occupy the vacant place, and asked: Just where did you get up from, sir? Mrs. Newrich was fond of flowers and especially the salvia, but was not very reliable in getting names right. She was giving directions to her gardener. On this side of the walk, she said, I want some salivas. Now what do you suggest for the other side? Well madam, the gardener answered solemnly, maybe it would be a good idea to put some spittoonias there.
