THE VICTORY Dairy Show Coining In May AN EASTER POEM Across the years the deafening cry of the angry mob has rung, And in our mind we see the Christ, as on the cross He The gentle loving Christ of all the Who have only love, undying love for insults hurled. Deserted, suffering, dying He hung upon the Cross, His disciples weak, bewildered, discouraged over their loss The humble suffering Christ who died for us. In face of such love as this we can only bow and trust. joyous Easter morning that brings eternal hope to our soul! The grave gave up the precious body it did hold Christ arose a victor over death and its destroying wave, And bids us believe, repent and trust, And fear not the grave. There are mysteries we cannot understand, and death is one, But Christ has shown the way for victory has won.

We need only to trust His promises to save us from sin, For lo, He is with us always, even unto the end. Coirie Lea Urwin John A. Kerr, 76, Dies At Dallas Mrs. B.

soul is sorry unto death; Here watch with me for this last breath.V Disciples rested on the grass While He the hour in prayer to pass, He knelt beside where Cedron I flows And cool night winds doth gently blow. On Olivet He knelt to pray That this sad cup would pass away. Great drops of blood fell to the ground. Upon the air was heard no sound. Again He came unto the blest And found that they in sleep did rest.
