these three plain historical facts, upon which all churches are es tablished. These are days wherein the great realities of existence are tak ing a new noia ot peopie mmas Fvprvbndv. even the dullest, is forced to do something about lareer eeosraDhy than he once knew; and about science and politics and international relations; and about human characteristics and potencies. In the same mood, men are reaching out for the verities of religion. What is Christianity What part has it to play Is Jesus Christ a historic person, still alive amidst this welter of warring nations? Facts That May Not Be Challenged Only the ignorant and irresponsible would dare to challenge the historical truth of the life of Jesus.

Scholarship has for ages bent its most nowerful lenses upon that winsome iigure wnicn once walked the hills of Galilee and the streets of old Jerusalem. His full meaning has often baffled them; but by the accepted laws of evidence His life and death are dem onstrated. And to His resurrection there is a confluence of diverse testimony, by more than five hundred contemporary persons, most of whom knew Him intimately in the days of His flesh. Before ever there was a page of the New Testament written there had grown up a great fellowship of believers whose faith was pin ned primarily upon the resurreo tion. It was not a dead Christ, but a living Christ, who sent the early Church singing and testifying, overi all the world's ancient highways, and into the catacombs and into the Coliseum, glad to die for the Name.

A Moslem Tribute When the Arabic speaking na tions held a congress in Cairo, to discuss the issues of Zionism, shortly before the outbreak of the war, they gave each delegate a medal. One of these was sent to me by a missionary friend. On one side it bore a picture of the I Kaaba, in Mecca, central shrine of Islam. On the other side was a portrayal of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The purpose was to show the solidarity or Dotn Moslems and Christians of the Near East opposition to Zionism.

nu i i xiie sigmncant iacr, my mis i sionary friend pointed out, was that the Moslem leaders of the Congress had designated the Christian shrine as "The Church oi the Resurrection." They had: penetrated to the deepest meaning; ot tne old church which reputedly holds the tomb of Christ. Its real sanctity is less that He was buried there than that He there arose from the dead. Any reverent reading of the New Testament finds the teaching oi tne iact and power of the resurrection running through it like a thread of gold. Upon this central truth depends the Christian life. 'If Christ be not risen from the dead, then is your faith vain." A Statesman's Program Much in the world's news of late has been the American High Commissioner to the Philippines, former Assistant Secretary of State; Francis B.

Sayre, who recently es caped from the fury of Bataan and, Corregidor, and successfully flew; to Washington. A scholar as well as a statesman, and a devout Christian, too, Mr. Sayre has out lined "the new order" that must follow victory, and Christ's rela tion thereto. This passage merits quotation in every Sunday School Class and in every pulpit: We must set out actually to! build a society based upon the living principles of Christ. If our civilization can not be brought to! understand more clearly and to believe more strongly in the fun damental teachings of Jesus Christ, it cannot survive.

In other woras, men must oi their own consciousness come to perceive the utter folly of trying to build a civilization on materialism and RESORTS Ocean View, Norfolk, Va. FRIDAY EVENING Statesman Affirms Basis For New Order of Society Strong Words From Francis B. Sayre, a Potent Presenl dav Fieure; The Factual Basis of the Christian Religion; The Mystical Reality of the Living Presence By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Once a Man lived, and died and lived again, and continues to live amonest US. Upon this simple statement is erected all the elaborate edifice of Christianity.

Rebuild into one all the mighty cathedrals and churches that dot the world's landscape and the result would be less significant and important than brute force, and come to realize perhaps through suffering, that the enduring values that humanity will alwavs crave erow out of understanding and love arid self sacrifice. There is only one way tn make neoDle realize that. We must go back to the living Christ, to the audacious, thnuing, win some Figure that actually lived and lives." The. ComDanv Who Love Him Tn a iust completed tour of the continent, I have naturally been looking into the way wnicn tne Church is functioning. The ex perience has been heartening.

Not only have I louna iuii cnurcnes, and many new ones springing up, outside of the established denonv inatinnal lines, but I have had striking contacts with editors and other public men as deeply inter ested in religion as I. Of many forms of Christian devotion that witnessed I could bear record. Tn Hollvwood I taught a class of some four hundred mem bers. The radiant resurrection faith shines far and wide: politi cians and publishers do not always understand that the overwhelming preponderance of the public are sincere believers in the risen Christ. I came near to the beauty of the resurrection truth in the sick room of an old California friend He has lately undergone a grave operation, and he is inflicted with an incurable malady.

But his face is as serene as ever in health, and his faith is undimmed and joyous He talks as naturally about the approaching reunions in "the Land o' the leal" as he does about my visit. He fairly exults in the unshadowed life of faith and service which he has lived in conscious fellowship with the living Lord. This personal relationship with the risen Christ is the final proof of our Christianity. As Whittier wrote: "In the works we do, in the prayers we pray, Life of our life, He lives today." Formal creeds mean less to the world than individual lives that have been changed into unselfish ness and gentleness and helpful ness and integrity. The final proof of the Resurrection of Jesus lies in the exhibit of a resurrection life by His friends, here and now.

Every disciple who walks in this new power demonstrates that! Christ's presence is real and Our reliance for a better post war world rests upon these vital ized personalities whose program and goal are the new standards that emerged from the Easter tomb with the triumphant Christ In the most real and practical sense, a recreated world is de pendent upon the resurrection of Jesus.

GASKDLL Harrisburgesque Looks like a coupla runaways By Nobe Frank Of course, we refer to the Na tional and American League races, which at this time finds the Yanks ten games ahead in the American Iood. and the Brooklyn Dodgers about eight games in front in Ford Frick's circuit. And those a ding leads teach a lesson with a good moral to them. Since way back in college days, I have heard of an old eco nomic truism that goes some thing like this Nobe Frank "You have to spend money to make moneyi" Certainly, Larry McPhail, erstwhile Kaiser chaser, knows the truth of. the ism for he's been spending Dodger money as if it grew on trees, but he's been giving Flatbush a baseball team, and in doing so, has been crowding the turnstiles, and making money for the owners.

Maybe not much in view of the spending, but that will come. The Yanks have always oper ated on the theory that the best deserves the best, and the Gotham American Leaguers think they're tops, which not many can deny One might add that some of the clubs can't operate that" way, but there was a day when the Dodgers couldn't do it, but they did it any way. It much like the man who was chased by the bulldog, and yelled for help someone discov ered his plight and yelled to him to climb a tree, that the bulldog couldn't do that, and he'd be saved. But the pursued one shout' ed back, "By golly, he might if he had to!" All big league teams have extra money around with which to oper ate, and if they can't see it to spend some to develop their teams, while others can, then there no pity to be shown. It has always seemed a very useless bellow to me for some of the fans to start the annual cry, "Break, up the Yanks and equal ize the league.

How much bet ter the shout would be, and how much more sportsmanlike if it went, "Spend some dough to do the equalizing." There's always something new under the sun, and this time it has to do with polo. It been a long time since the West Shore Rangers have dropped games on successive weekends, but that's been the case against the Carlisle Indians in the recent battles. So this Sunday, at 3 o'clock, on the West Shore greensward, the West Shore outfit is going to try and get into the victory column against their recent nemesis. Doc Hempt and brother, Jakey; Frank Frown felter and either Ben Forney or Don Hench, the latter, who occasionally proves to you that even good polo players can still take spills, will band together and at' tempt to turn back the tough Carlisle aggregation. So it looks from here as if there is gomg to be a good game on tip, come Sunday afternoon.

The Harrisburg senators are here for another week end stay against Trenton with a bargain bill listed for Sunday afternoon, the first game starting at 2 p. m. Inasmuch as the locals have shown signs of using those bats for some thing, other than to adorn their broad shoulders, perhaps we can u. the backs oi the lowly Trenton Packers to do some necessary climbing.
