He came to this country. with the Moscow Art Theatre, first doing drawings of the principals of that produc- and stage scenery, working with mergau Passion Play.

The ZX-11 husbands and gals had a shindig last Friday at the Seaplane Base Pool -- despite the cool weather a couple of hardy; souls ventured into the pool, Hot food was more than welcome. A super volleyball was the high point of the evening. Nothing stood in the way of the committee in making this the most lavish and extravagant shindig of the social season .They even spent 75 cents for decorations!

It is true that any manifestation of the divine power raises a ques- tion in the minds of unbelivers. Many could not understand the miracles of Jesus. Neither could these soldiers grasp the meaning of this manifestation of divine pow- er which brings assurance to the believer and consternation to the unbelievers, The soldiers were afraid but there was a shout of exultant joy in the repeated mes- sage from the angel to the women as they relayed it to the follow- ers of Jesus. There was joy in the empty tomb and no need to fear as the angel assuringly said, “Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” “He is not here” is a fact which has built the Christian church. Men have ever sought to conquer death, the greatest enemy of man, and this simple statement of the angel has changed, revolutionized the world. Men have often asked if a man die, will he live again, and this joyful fact on-that Easter morning has given hope and as- surance of immortality, The angel told the women to give this message to the disciples | and that he will go before them into Galilee where they shail see him. (See also Mark 14:28) Per- haps Jesus felt that his prediction that he would see them again made little effect on them. He then tells the women to remind them, }as be said.
