Text. "The Pre-eminent Christ *
During holy week the supreme
motive of life should be to five
pre-eminence to the One who has
made this week possible.
Jesus Christ is worthy of the best
man has to give and He deserves
an exalted place In avery life. In
God s mind, the Christ of resurrec
tloir power was not only eminent,
but pre-eminent, and this Is shown
In the fact that God has highly ex
alied him and given Him a name
which Is above every other name.
if this is God’s mind concerning
this marvelous character, then there
la no doubt but what He mint be
pre-eminent In all things. In per
sonal appearance He had no equal,
in speech man never spake as He
In moral* He was clean and pure,
greater love hud no man than He.
In devotion He excelled, in sym
l»ath>, gentleness and tenderness
He was absolutely preeminent. In
largeness of heart. In faith, hope,
charity, yea. in every noble virtue
He occupied Uip moat prominent
and pre-eminent place.

In accordance with the Scriptures;
that He was burled; that He rose to
life again on the third day In ac

was seen by Peter, and then by the
Twelve. Afterwards He was seen
by more than five hundred brethren
nt once, most of whom are still
alive, although some of them have
now fallen asleep. Afterwards He
was seen by James, and thaa by all
the Apostles. And last of all, as to
one of untimely birth, He appeared
to me also.

literature, art, poetry, chivalry and
civilization have done their share
in lifting the son of God.
Rousseau, a great skeptic, wrote:
"If the life and death of Socrates
be those of a saint, the life and
death of Jesus are those of a God."
Napoleon Ronaparte wrote: "I
know men, Jesus was more than
man "
When Gen. Grant was in Jerusa

they offered him a great feaat. but
he said: **No. this city where Jesus
Church of God. Rut what I am I
am by ihe grace of God. and His
grace bestowed upon me did not
prove ineffectual. But I labored
more strenuously ihan all the rest —
yet it was not I, but God's grace
working with me. Hut whether it
is I or they, this is the way we
preaeh and the way that you came
to believe.
"But If Christ is preached as hav
ing risen from the dead, how is it
that some of you say that there is
no such thing as a resurrection of
the dead? If there is no such thing
as a resurrection of the dead, then
Christ Himself has not risen to life.
And if Christ has not risen, it fol
lows that what we preach Is a delu
sion. and that your faith also is a
delusion. Nay more, we are actual
ly being discovered to be bearing
false witness against God. because
we have testified that God raises
Christ to life, whom He did not
raise. If in reality none of the dead
are raised. For if none of the dead
are raised lo life, then Christ has
not risen, your faith is a vain thing
you are still In your sins. It fol
lows also that those who have fal
len asleep in Christ have perished.
If in this present life we have a
hope resting on Christ, and nothing
more, we are more to be pitied than
all the rest of the world.
•’But. in reality. Christ ha* risen
from among the dead, being the first
to do ao of those who are asleep.
For neeinf that death came through
man, through man also comes the
resurrection of the dead. For Just
as through Adam all die, so also
through Christ all will be made
alive again. But this will happen
to eaeh in the right order —Christ <
having been the first to rise, and
afterwards Christ's people rising at
His return. Later on, comes the
End, when He is to surrender the
Kingship to God. the Father, when
He shall have overthrown all other
government and all other authority
and power. For He must continue
to be King until God has put all
His enemies under Hla feet (Pi.
▼lift. I; cx. 1).
"The last enemy that ts to be
overthrown Is Death; for He will
have put all things in subjection
nnder Hla feet. And when He ahall
have declared that "All thing* are
tn ■objection." It will be the mani
fest exception of Him who has rp
dneed them all to subjection to Him.
But when the whole universe has
been made subject to Him, then
the Son Himself will also become
subject to Him. who has made the
universe subject to Him. In order
that God may be all in all."
Ward* and Their Meaning.
Instead of making an extended
comment upon the passage. I sug
gest that the reader carefully per
use again these great words, seek
ing to comprehend their obvious
meaning Let us be fair about It,
regarding language only In Its ordi
nary and accepted sense. This pas
sage means what It says and not
something that a subtle and specu
lative mind may read Into It. The
letter of which It Is a part was not
written for halr-spltttlng theologians
or fantastic metaphysicians, but for
a group of plain people freshly out
of heathendom, who had no doubt
whatever of the resurrection of
Christ Himself, but who had been
troubled by doubts concerning the
Immortality of men. So Paul wrote
to set these doubts at rest.

no words In all literature may be
trusted to mean w-hat they say.
Some Tremendous Implications.
The implications of the fact of
the Resurrection as stated by Paul
are tremendous. Spiritual life
springs from Ihe Resurrection.
Jesus Is not a mere teacher and ex
ample, lo be ranked with Socrates,
Plato, Aristotle and Philo: He is a
source of new life within the breast
of the believer. The supreme mys
tery of Christianity is how this
fommunlcated life makes the Christ
and the Christian one.
All the reality of the Resurrec
tion is pledged by Paul as proof of
the resurrection of the d«td. This
is gospel for the graveside. Here
shines the eternal hope; we die but
we shall live again, even as Christ
ever llveth. Take away the Resur
rectlon and faith Is vain.
Three of life’s profundities for
every Christian are found in the
story of the Resurrection. First,
there is comfort—the only comfort
adequate to life's deepest needs.
Then theru is power, for a life be
yond merely human capacity. And
there is hope, which shines as a
star into every grave, and guides all
weary wanderers to the long home
where lives and reigns the Risen
lord.

DETROIT TIMES

Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch
comedian, who was unable to fulfill
his engagement in Detroit In the
Garrick theater recently, owing to
lurnygitis, will give four afternoon
and four evening performances, be
ginning Monday afternoon, May 1.
tn the Lyceum theater. Mr.
expected to return to the Garrick,
but the bookings in that theater for
the only time that the Scotch come
dian was able to come to Detroit
could not be changed. Roy Walling,
leading man of the stock company
in the Lyceum, offered to withdraw
his company from the stage of that
theater for Mr. and the ar
rangement was made. Mr. Lauder
will leave Detroit. Thursday, April 4,
nt midnight, and will sail for Eng
land Saturday morning, May 8.
It was by the merest chance that
Jean Webster's delightful "Daddy
long logs" letters found their way
into dramatic form. Henry Miller,
taking a train one day. found Mtsa
Webster's story on a depot book
stall. He read it on the train and
at once saw its value for stage pur
poses. He arranged with the author
to dramatize It. and placed Ruth
Cltatterton, who had been appearing
with him in "The Rainbow," In the
principal role. The reault was one
of the greatest successes the Amer

"If the gown Is fashionable, with

leave her conscience at home, for
her clothes will uphold her through

Katharine Hancock Galloway, the
charming prinia donna of the oper
etta, "Molly O." now In the Garrick
tfcpnter. "A woman Is strongly In
fluenced by her clothes. Dress her
in shabby, out-of-date garments and
she becomes shrinking and old-fash
ioned, middle-aged and meek: take
the same woman and dress her so
that her frock is just a little smart
er than those of other women and
she will bloom. There’s no shield
and buckler In the world so excel
lent as good clothes. It’s folly to
pretend that we rise above clothes.
We rise to them, and we rise for
them, and we mostly rise when we
have them on nowadays, because
they're not meant to sit on. but
they make or mar us." Miss C.allo-

With two exceptions, the
play will be presented locally with
the original cast. Miss Stevens, a
cousin of Mrs. Flake, is looked upon
as one of the cleverest younger
women of the stage. It Is generally
conceded that her performance of
Caroline Knottys, "the unchastened

well, and to have told the story with
considerable force. The lines are
bright and srlntilating with satiri

are very human. Miss Stevens and

Character
A MAN’S capacities are determined
by several factors, chief among
which is the fiber of the stuff he is made
of. Like all of Nature’s most potent
forces this is invisible, and being so, it
secures its expression in effects and
results. Competency, energy and hon
esty—these qualities constitute greater
worth. And their development creates
character.
| v
Motor cars, too, have character. It
is injected and molded by the hand of
man; its presence is conspicuous when
put to the test.
Maxwell Motor Cars, for example,
gain character and individuality by
reason of experience, care and skill with
which they are made. Every operation
must strengthen the final result and
thus the ability to give abundant? and
satisfying service is correspondingly
increased.
As we specialize in the manufacture
of light weight, standardized auto
mobiles, we can and do concentrate our
entire attention on those details that
make for better motor car character.
