The diecour-e dealt with ou reasons for believing In the Kesurrec tlon end lis significance concerului the work of Christ and to our owi faith. It wis the completion of th ' earthly work of Christ. It Is 'th guarantee of our Ohrhtliu faith, of i life of union with God uow and of i 'glorious resurrection and life hereafter The evening sermon was one of i series of sermons on the great doc trinea of the church and dealt with tic dlety of Jeaus, showing that, wblli our Lord was truly man. He was *l„ truly ^od. ' - FIRST M E. All the services brought out verj large congregations In the First M K Church Sunday, and they all con formed to the Kaster spirit. The subject of the morning sermoi. -. by the pastor, the Itev. George \V Yard, was "The Empty Tomb." and the scripture lesson was, John SO; 1 18, both Inclusive. The text was a portion of verse 16. "llecause they have taken away my God aud I know not where they have laid Him." Mr. Yard flret referred to Mary Magdalen's- state of mlud regarding lbs empty tomb on the first Easter morning, as Indicated In the text, •"TheyJiave taken away my Lord," etc. There was as yet lu her mind no thought of a risen Lord, risen by the power of Uod, though doubtless she bad heard the Master declare that He would rise again the third day. So also bad the disciples heard Jesus ' declare this, but all had apparently forgotten. Mary could have been In uo othar state of mind without a. revelation from God, and this abe received immediately after she had spoken the' wonts of the text, for Christ always makes Himself known lo them that diligently seek Him. The speaker's next thought followed naturally the preceding, for he declared that science cannot account for the resurrection. We cannot prove by reason and logic that Christ rose from the dead and Is now alive. But. neither can science account for life nor explain death. Yet science Is also the gift of God, and It may yet In the divine order be permitted to make more evident spiritual realities. Mr. Yard then noticed bow that our Imrd'a previous 83 years of life as man had been a preparation for the crucifixion on' Calvary; to be subjected to *"«■. physical, mental and ■MegMMa mow undergo He be made per«aet through suflerlng. He drew gmphlc word-pictures of these tests, all of them beginning with the Last .Sapper and Gethsemane and ending with Bis cry, "It la finished," for with i that ay lie fell Into the lap of God l aud His exaltation b««an. , Mr.' Yard's central thought was the ' absolute certainty of Christ's rasurrec I Hon, no historical fact being better atlettad, while the entire Book of Aria Is 1 one continuous proof of the power of ' the living Christ. "But now to Christ rtoen and become the first fruits of 1 them that slept." ( "The King's Glory" was the theme < of the evening sermon.
