Our Lord..Risen. Exalted
By Rev. H.  L.  Engel
The cross is expressive of our
Savior's deepest humiliation. His
resurrection is Hist highest exaltation; the crpss is indicative of the
judgement which God had passed
upon the world of sin, the resurrection of Christ is the absolution
or justification of the entire world
from sin and condemnation.
Very early on Easter morning a
number of. women were on their
way to the Savior's tomb with
their carefully prepared burial
spices. It was still dark when they
left their homes. There was also
the darkness of sorrow in their
hearts. They thought that they
had forever lost Jesus. They
grieved that death had robbed
them of His blessed fellowship.
His saving message had seemingly ended in disappointment . It
seemed that the enemies had triumphed. And who would roll away
the stone for them.
When these women arrived at
the tomb, the sun had risen & dispelled the darkness of night. Even so the great Easter fact had
taken place to bring light and joy
to all hearts. There was. no dead
body in the tomb to anoint. Gloriously, victoriously Jesus had risen and passed through, burial
clothes and rock-hewn tomb. The
stone had been rolled away. An
angelic messenger    had    already
rolled it away to reveal an empty
grave. There was no reason for
spiritual confusion and hopelessness. Fellowship with the Lord,
far from ended, was held out to
His believers in even richer form.
There was io triumph of Christ's
enemies to grieve over. Only because the great Easter fact of
Christ's resurrection was still unknown to the women was there
gloom and sadness in their hearts.
Must we not say. the same thing
of the gliSjh^ and sadness that
crowds its way into our Christian
lives? It is there because the
joyful light of the Easter truth
has, not fully illuminated our
hearts. If we are troubled about
our salvation, we are forgetting
that Christ rose for our justification. If we grieve over the seeming triumph of Christ's enemies,
we are missing the truth that the
risen Lord is reigning in their
midst and making them unwittingly serve His purposes. If we are
fretting about tasks that seem insurmountable, we are losing sight
of the fact that our risen Lord is
ever present in His power and
grace to help and to provide. All
gloom and sadness is dispelled by
the joyful Easter message: He is
risen. He is risen indeed. The
exalted Lord lives and reigns forever!
wedding trip. When they return, they will make their
home at 313 North Ann Arbor
Street.
The bride graduated from

groom also attended Saline
High School and is employed

manager.

costs when he pleaded guilty to
being a disorderly person before

night when Police Chief Albertson
received a complaint that a fight
was going on in Bill's Tavern.   .
When Albertson entered the
tavern, he said he found the defendant engaged in a heated argument with the proprietor, and, upon seeing that Shantz was obviously under the influence of liquor,
he immediately ordered him from
the tavern.
Albertson said he took Shantz
to his truck, removed the keys and
told Shantz to stay there about
two hours until he sobered up.
When Albertson checked back in
about 30 minutes, Shantz was gone."
Albertson found him in Bill's Tavern again, and placed him under
arrest.
Shantz said he had been fighting
with Bob Funk, but wouldn't say
who started the fight.
200 Attend Farm
Shop Meeting Here
Approximately 200 people attended the Saline Farm Shop meeting sponsored by the Washtenaw
County Agriculture Extension Service at Saline High School Monday
night.
The speaker of the evening was
Robert Maddex, agricultural engineering specialist at Michigan
State College. He was introduced
by Donald B. Johnson, county agricultural agent.
Several points of interest were
brought out. During a discussion
on the amount of money invested
in" farm machinery on the average
farm, it was estimated that 75
percent of those present had over
$7,000 invested and that 25 per
cent had over $10,000 invested.
A question raised was, who is
the mechanic on your farmi? In
most cases you have to be your
own mechanic and a good one. It
was pointed out that a farm shop
can be of great help economically,
and it also can be an expensive investment.
A drill and grinder are very
helpful in a farm shop but not essential. It was stated at the meeting that electric welders and oxya-
cetylene welders will pay for cost
of equipment within a few years.
Approximately five percent* of total investment in machinery is
spent per year for repair and labor.
A farm shop does not have to
be elaborate, but it should have a
place for tools, be adequately
heated, and • be large enough to
work on equipment. It was the
speaker's experience that shops
without heat were seldom used
during cold weather.
Safety around the shop was discussed. This covered fire precaution, injury to the operator and use
of good lighting.
Electric motors, their .;are and
safety  and types   and uses were
