LIFE AFTER DEATH?
BIBLE GIVES LIGHT
123 References to Resurrection
Can Be Found in New

The International Sunday School
Ijcsson For December (I Is "Clirist
Risen From tlie Dead"—Mark 10:
1-8; Matt. 28:11-15
By William T. Kill*
To-days newspaper contains a spe
cial mention of those who have solved
the problem of immortality; and of
those who are deeply, immediately and
supremely concerned In it. They will
be found in the death notice column,
and the first group are those w T ho have
died, and the second group are the
families and near friends of the dead.
No question is more ancient, more
insistent, or more profound and im
portant than this one, "If a man die,
Khali he live again?" To some degree
It is certain at some time or other to
engage the thought of every mature
mind. With the daily dispatches from
abroad fairly reeking with news of
bloody deaths by the myriad, the
problem Is one that thrusts Itself in
exorably into the consideration of
even the frivolous minded and the
heedless.
Every poet, every philosopher, has

FRIDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 4, 1914. 4
speculated upon the theme. The
human mind has always experienced
"intimations of immortality." The
conviction that this supreme flower
and fruit of the universe, the human
soul, was not born to fall and perish
utterly, and that this earth life is,
by many signs, only the preparation
for some higher form of existence,
lies deep down in the thinking of
every normal person.
How Crep<l Affects Conduct
There is surer ground for a con
viction of Immortality than any I have
yet cited; and we shall consider It a
few paragraphs later. First, though,
we need to remind ourselves of some
practical consequences of our belief
upon this subject.
If man dies as the dog dies, then
the greatest of all inspirations and
inhibitions are removed from the
realm of morals. It is because man
is to live forever that he should live
like an Immortal here and now. Onco
grant that this life is all and then we
must admit the wisdom of the injunc
tion, "Eat, drink and bo merry, for
to T inorrow we die."
The chrism of earth's friendships is
the hope of the resurrection, which
sacredly anoints (them for two worlds.
All our highest conceptions of love
are bound up with the expectation of
! a life beyond the grave.
Grounded in the resurrection teach
ing is the Christian's hope of Christly
character and of future glory. "If
ye then be risen together with Christ,
I seek those things which are above."
"Now is Christ risen from the dead,
I and become the first-fruits of them
that slept," "If-Christ hath not been
I raised, then is our preaching vain;
I your faith also is vain." "If wo have
I
only hoped in Christ in this life, we
are of ail men most miserable."
Light Front tho Book
Every day, in every section of the I
world, there rage arguments about re- j
ligion. Men cannot be restrained from i
speculating about this supreme theine.
No aspect of these discussions strikes 1
an observer as more significant than
the fact that so often men debate as if
there were no authority above their
own reason to which appeal might be
made. They talij as though historical
facts were to be decided by "horse
sense"; and as if one man's opinion
were as good as another. In other
words, they leave the Bible entirely
out of their discussion, and airily put
forth their own immature opinions as
if they were the last word on the
subject. Every reader of these lines
has probably heard controversies on
the resurrection, without a single ap
peal to the Bible as historical evi
dence.
That makes only one of two courses
possible. Either the Bible must be
discarded utterly, or else it must be
accepted as the only scientific and
valid evidence available up to the
present time upon the subject of the
resurrection. To reject the teaching
of the resurrection is to reject the
New Testament; for it is full of the
fact and of the implications' of the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. And
apart rfom this Book we have abso
lutely no other historical evidence of
the raising of the dead to life. I take
a concordance and follow through
tho words "raised," "risen," "resur
rection," and fine 123 separate refer
ences given to resurrection.
When the sorrow of death enters
a circle of love, it is not to the barren
philisophy of the ancients that we turn
for comfort, but to this Book of the
immortal hope, whose words of sweet
assurance are repeated daily over
thousands of biers, imparting the light
! of eternal sunrise to the dark day of
grief. '
Facing tlie Facts
' As a bit of reporting, or historical
writing, the four evangelists did first
class work. They wore mindful of
the facts, first of all. We see this
I clearly in the resurrection story. First,
] they present the evidence that He
I really died—the Jewish usage that
the .condemned criminal must not re
main on the cross over a high sab
bath: the spear-thrust of the soldier
which brought both water and blood
gushing from the Victim's side is sure
proof of death; the report of the vet
eran centurion; the tomb sealed with
the seal of Rome and guarded by her
lafflonariea: the tomb was a new one.
with no other body in It, so no room
for mistakes remained there.
Then, in all their native natural
ness, the historians relate the appear
ances of the Lord to the various dis
ciples, the first 6f whom had come to
the tomb expecting to ilnd a dead
body, and not a risen Christ.
The verlslinulltude of the report
that Jesus was three days buried,when
He really was only In the tomb from
Friday- night to Sunday morning, is
evidence of the trustworthiness of the
narrative. That is the Eastern way
of writing to this day—to count a part
of a day or a year as si whole. So it
is on the Assyrian tablets; so it is in
the Christian Koreans' account of the
length of time they spent in Jail. In
the light of modern scholarship, with
Its full knowledge of Oriental usages,
any other form of expression on the
part of the New Testament writers
would have been counted suspicious;
they were true to their time and to
:the facts.
Of the ten appearances of tho risen
Christ —eleven, counting His appear
ance to Saul on tho Damascus road —
tho first two were to women. Mrs.
Browning wro\e, in a compact
quatrain:
"Not she with traitorous kiss her
Master stung;
Not she denied Him with unfaithful
tongue;
She when apostles fled could danger
brave.
Last at His cross and earliest at His
grave."
The first six appearance were in or
near Jerusalem, In this order:
To Mary Magdelene,* at the sepul
chre;
To the women on the way from the
sepulchre;
To Simon Peter alone, near Jeru
salem;
To two disciples on the way to
Emaus. near Jerusalem;
To the apostles, except Thomas, at
Jerusalem;
To the apostles, with Thomas, a
week later, at Jerusalem.
The next three appearances were in
Galilee, lirst to seven ilshertnen; then
to the eleven on a mountain; thei> to
about 500 brethren at once. The final
appearance was at the Ascension, on
Mt. Olivet.
Assuming the historical validity of
tho Bible, and we find that the resur
rection Is established by many wit
nesses, and that it is as completly
buttressed a fact as any event in an
cient history.
There remains one final proof of the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, which,
in the caße of millions of person*,
1 makes all the other evidence unnec
essary. That is the fact of personal,
present relationship with the living
Christ, to whom a long line of mar
tyrs and saints bear testimony, say
ing with St. Paul, "I know whom T
have .believed," That relationship is
for multitudes more real than any
transaction with merchant or friend.
"Closer is He than breathing,
Nearer than hands or feet." ■
A Canadian in the tropics might
be jeered at for his talk of ice and
snow; and the black philosopher
might conclusively prove that such a
phenomenon Is impossible. But the
Canadian can confound them all with
"I know, for I have experienced Ice
and snow." A Greek sophist might
haVe caught Peter In the market
place at Antioch and argued the im
possibility of the resurrection; but
Peter could crush Him with a sim
ple, "I saw Him dead; and then I
saw Him alive.' A personal experi
ence of the risen Christ is the final
argument for the resurrection; and
.the one moat sufficient proof of im
mortality.
