Christ Is Risen Today! Easter as Celebrated b" Christian Association
The Christian Association celebrated Easter twice this month. Tlie first program they presented, was held in Oriental Hall on April 2. The second program was introduced in Assembly on April 9.
The first program .started with hymns, and was followed by a short prayer. Pictures showing Christ’s life were shown by the magic lantern projector.
The speaker was Mr. Adly Earn, instructor at the Salam College. His topic was “The Teachings of God and Christ.’’ “You are the greatest enemy of yourself,’’ Mr. Fam said, “you lose your temper, then you are sinful, there is a temptation in you to be jealous, but your great victory is to overcome these traits ”
Tlie play presented in Assembly dealt with a Jewish
carpenter who won the competition in making crosses. His daughter was a follower of Christ, whereas his son did not believe in Him.
The boy tried to steal his sister’s bracelets and "pocket the money”. But he decided at the last moment to give them back to her, and he too followed Christ’s teachings and ways.
Some days later they heard that Christ was arre.sted and crucified. As a result, the father refused to sign a contract w’ith the Romans to make more crosses as they symbolized to him Christ’s Crucifixion.
This upset the whole family w'ho became sad and gloomy until the girl’s fianc6e announced to them the good tidings that the Christ was risen.
