This time, however, a crowd of 600 people, some from as far away as Australia and Switzerland, looked on. And also this time, there were two gun battles set an hour apart, the first to accommodate a troupe of out-of-state history buffs who staged their own version of events. Members of The Wild Bunch, a group of local residents who regu larly perform scenes from the old West, assumed the roles of the long-feuding antagonists in the re enactment donning frontier garb and holster guns loaded with blanks. The real-life showdown came the afernoon that town marshall Virgil Earp, his deputized brother, Wyatt, and a second brother, Morgan, were told mem bers of the Clanton gang were near the rear entrance of the OK Corral ready for trouble. The Earps were joined for the show down by John Henry “Doc Hol liday. A cloudless blue sky with warm temperatures Monday belied a taped narration telling of a “cold, dusty and windy October after noon” culminated a long-running feud between the Earps and Clan tons. When the gun battle ended, surrogates for Frank and Tom McLaury and Billy Clanton lay “dead.” The pretend Ike Clanton and Billy “the Kid” Claiborne fled while the Virgil Earp feigned a wound to the calf and Morgan — a shot in the shoulder. The real Earps and Holliday were tried for murder but ac quitted. Whatever inconsistencies the weather may have provided were rendered moot by the sense of his tory for those involved. After their version of the fight, members of the National Gallery of Gunfighters gathered offstage and embraced. As a flask was pas sed around, some brushed away tears. “It’s eerie. It’s very emotional,” said George Monte, president of the group and manager of an in surance company in Amador County, Calif., who played Wyatt Earp. He said the group had per formed scores of times. “But because this is the actual site, this is the epitomy,” he said. “Not only as actors, but as histo rians having researched it, we can understand how the participants must have felt afterwards.” Tombstone, which proudly calls itself a town too tough to die, was born in 1879 in a silver-rush fever. dangeroa av the st> sted, en by Pfr so psy* bey jy with®!

Then the blood — real blood — began to ooze. Margaret Catch, a senior at Northwest High School, and class mate Larry Anderson, were per forming a sketch in the Millard Jaycees Haunted House Sunday when the acting took a turn toward reality. “At first it didn’t hurt a bit,” Catch, 17, said Monday. “But then I felt the blood and thought, ‘My gosh. I’ve been stabbed.’” Catch said she continued play ing her role until the spectators had moved on. Then she looked at Anderson and said, “You got me.” Catch was taken to an Omaha hospital where she was treated for a three-quarter-inch deep knife wound in the right side and re leased. Catch said Anderson felt worse emotionally than she did physic ally. “We are good friends, and have appeared in plays together,” she said. “We’ve talked twice since it happened.” Anderson said, “It’s really a shock. ” “I relive it every 30 seconds, and I almost can’t handle it.” Anderson said he was thankful Catch incurred only a minor in- jury., T’ve learned a lesson, ” he said.

The Person of Christ Our faith is focused on the Person of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Both the substance of our beliefs and our expe riential act of believing are centered in this wonderful Person. No element of the common faith (Titus 1:4), the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3), is more crucial than the truth revealed in the Scriptures concerning the Person of Christ. “Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son” (2 John 9). The Bible clearly reveals that Christ is God. As the Word who became flesh and tabernacled among us (John 1:1, 14), Christ is not only the revealer of God; He is God Himself revealed. Paul speaks of “Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever” (Rom. 9:5) and testifies of “the great God and our Savior, Christ Jesus” (Titus 2:13), thus asserting the deity of Christ. Christ is the great God, the God who is great in nature, in glory, in authority, in power, in deed, in love, in grace, and in every divine attribute. Christ’s deity is eternal and absolute. From eternity to eternity He is the Lord God. Truly He is called Immanuel, God with us, and rightly we worship Him and declare, “My Lord and my God’ (John 20:28). The Word of God also reveals that! Jesus Christ is a man. “There is one mediator also between God and man,| the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 2:5). Ev ery true Christian must confess that I Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, that through incarnation He took on a hu- [ man body of blood and flesh (Heb. 2:14). Apart from sin, Christ was ini every aspect of humanity the same as we are. He was weary, He slept, He I hungered, He thirsted, He suffered, and He died. This Christ, God incar nate, will forever have a human nature. Even after His resurrection and ascen sion, He is still a man, and as the Son of I man He will come on the clouds of| heaven. Because Christ is true God and true man, He is the God-man. He is the perfect God and a complete man as well. Both His divine nature and His human nature, each being complete, concur in His one Person — without separation, without confusion, and without being changed into a third nature. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the God-man, one Person with two natures, is worthy to receive our worship and praise forever! “The Unsearchable Riches of Christ.. 846-1122 — 696-8943
