E. RONAN This question appeared here last week. Psychologists ask the question in behalf of clients when examining employee applications. "Of all the men you know, have known, met or heard of, what one man would you most like to be like?" Explain why Some selections and reasons show peculiar, even fuzzy thinking. What person, at least of Christian faith, could possibly fail to select the One Man who not only changed the course of history, but changed the calendar as well? Apart from the religious aspect, this Man was so remarkable, our calendar is dated B.C.

and A.D. before Christ and in the year of our Lord. Even non-Christians who deny His Divinity, knew He DID live on earth. From His birth to His crucifixion, He lived an exemplary life of selflessness; never a thought of selfishness. His life, His acts, His teaching left an indelible imprint with more impact than any other man who ever lived.

At Easter, let us rejoice that He proved life is continuous; indestructible; that His resurrection proved eternity does not start with death, but from the moment of mortal birth; that He proved our physical life of imperfections is only a prelude to spiritual perfection He promises us in His Heaven, When we reject Him, we reject the precious gift of Easter.
