Luke 22:19. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—Tile Lord's Supper took place on Thursday evening, April 6, A.D. 30. Place.—In au upper room in Jerusalem, the exact location of which cannot be determined with finality. The Passover 14, "And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apos- ties with him. 15, And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer. 16. For I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the king- dom of God," In spite of the fact that our Lord was fully conscious that within another twenty-four hours He would expire on the cross, with great suffering, everything said by Him at the table in re- lation to Himself, at least, was vibrant with hope. In this very sentence, three great facts at least are enunciated: first, that there would be a Kingdom of God, which in itself involves the defeat of the antagonistic king - dome' of this earth; secondly, that such a symbolic act as He was now participating in, relating to sacrifice and redemption, would ultimately be fulfilled, that is, the time would come when this re: demption He was now about to provide, would have completely accomplished Hit intended pur- pose; thirdly, that when this time of victory and triumph had fin- ally conte to pass, He would be with His disciples, to participate with them in a new supper in the glory of that eternal kingdom. 17. "And he received a cup ana when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18. for I say Unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall conte." The cup mentioned in this passage has been supposed • to be the 'third cup' of wine in the Jewish ceremonial. The Lord's Supper 19. "And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, say- ing, This is my body which is given for you: This do in remem- brance of me. 20. And the cup in like manner after supper, say- ing, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you." At this point we have the actual institu- tion of the Lord's Supper. The bread is a symbol of our Lord's body, and the wine a symbol of His precious blood. The bread broken refers to his body given up to death, and the wine poured refers to the shedding of His blood. The phrase 'in remem- brance emembrance of me' implies commem- oration of one bodily absent. The body and blood of Christ are given by God not by the priest, taken by faith, not by the hand, eaten with the soul, not with the mouth. The Betrayer 21. "But behold, the hand of hint that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22. For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been determined: bat woe unto that man through whom he is betrayed! 28. And they be- gan to question among them- selves, which of them it was that should do this thing." Particu- larly should one notice the phrase 'as it hall: been determined,' and compare it with Acts 2:23; 4:27, 28. The disciples are certainly ig- norant of the fact that Jucias was to betray the Lord that night. The text seems clearly to imply that all the disciples had at least some fear that any one of them might commit such a dreadful sin. The Greatest 224. "And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be great- est, 26. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them; and they that have authority over then are called B enefactors. 26. But ye shall not be so; but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27. For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth. 28, But ye are they that hath continued with me in my temptations; 28. and i ape point unto you a kingdom; even as my Father appointed unto me. 30. That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ya shall sit on thrones Judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Example of Jesus Could anything be sadder than, en the one hand, a revelation that one of these twelve man would betray their Lord this bight, and, on the other hand, it 'Per Ardua Ad Astro? (The acrostic reproduced below was composed by Aircraft, man Francis J. Mott, an Englishman who has lived many years in the United States, and who came to Canada to join the R.C.A.F. in 1940.

The one speaks of a diabolical hatred for Christ, the other indicates an almost unbe- lievable disinterest in the ap- proaching death of Ohrist. But Jesus is no more irritated than He is discouraged, He therefore calmly continues the work which he had begun. In human society, men reign by physical or intel- lectual force. In the new society which Jesus is instituting, He who has most is not to make His su- periority felt in any other way than by the superabundance of His services toward the weakest and the most destitute. The ex- ample of Jesus in this respect is to remain as the rule. Millions of Pins Saved i::y Britain Britain used 1,500,000,000 fewer pins last year than in 1940, and there will be several million fewer this year: Already men's new shirts have surrendered the dozen pins with which it was the quite unnecessary ritual to fas- ten them up. The steel and brass from which they are made are doing a more important job today. The steel goes into anything from a hand grenade upwards; ;the brass be- comes anything from a gas mask fastener to a Bofors cartridge. Hong Kong Camps Getting More Food Latest reports from unofficial sources suggest the position of prisoners in the Hong Kong camps is "somewhat improved and the prisoners are receiving more food although living conditions still remain far from satisfac- tory," Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden told the House of Commons recently. Japan is unwilling to recognize any power as protecting British interests in Japanese -controlled territories but the Argentine, as the power in charge of British in- terests in Japan, "has shown ad- mirable perseverance and has made solve progress in its en- deavors on behalf of British pris- oners, for which the British Gov- ernment are sincerely grateful,' Mr: Eden said. Britain, the foreign secretary added, has requested the Swiss Government, in charge of British interests in all other enemy -occu- pied countries, to undertake simi- lar duty in Japan for greater uni- formity in war -prisoner dealings. Though continuously pressed to send full lists of British prison- ers, the Japanese have not ful- filled their undertakings. Arrange- ments have been made through the Vatican for local missionary organizations to purchase procur- able supplies for camp distribu- tion.

Ring's Scout and Patrol Leader of the troop, * * * Gasoline restrictions on trucks will this year prevent the plant- ing of many thousands of young trees by Ontario's Boy Scouts on . reforestation projects in Simco* and Norfolk counties. The plant- ing has been a feature of the an- nual May .24th Forestry Camps held is those areas, To offset this, Scouts in a number of cen- tres carried out plantings during the Easter holidays. St, Thomas Scouts set out some 15,000 trees in that district, and Stratford Scouts planted 1500 locally and aided farmers In the starting of an additional 1,000. * * * A total of 978 applications for medal awards for Boy Scouts, for life saving and other courageous acts, have been dealt with by the Dominion Medal Board of the Boy Scouts Association under the chairmanship of Dr. Francis 1I, Gieborne of Ottawa since his ap- pointment to the board in 1919. Dr. Gisborne, former Dominion Parliamentary Couusel, recently retired as Honorary Dominion Counsel of the Scout Association, after serving 25 years in that cap- acity. The Hon. Mr. Justice Har- rison, K,C., D.S.O., of Saint John, N.B., 'was named as Dr. Gisbarne's successor at the recent annual lneetiug of the Scout Association, The latter will continue in the chairmanship of the Dominion Medal Board. * N * H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, receutly appointed President of the Boy Scouts Association of the Empire, in succession to the late Duke of Connaught, was for many years Patron of the Gloucester- shire and Norfolk Scout Associa- tions. A Tyrant's Power The fact is, of course, that a tyrant has power only over men who are afraid to die. If a man really believes in his religion, then he must hold with Saint Paul that "to die is gain", provided he dies' in defence of that religion. Quisling can hang the bishops. He might even massacre the clergymen. But what would he gain by it? Only the frenzied detestation if the faithful. Quisling is now facing some thing altogether beyond his con- trol, because his power extends 210 further than men's fears. Where fear of death ends, there the power of tyranny fails, and it is only the stupid tyrants who permit themselves to pass that limit. —Baltimore Sun Nazi Youth From information which reach- es London it can be said that II - boat crews as a whole are good enough material, states The Ot- tawa Journal. This is perticu larl true of the older hands bred up in the tradition of the sea. But the great majority now are youngsters, conceited and imma- ture, their souls corrupted by their training and experience in the Hitler Youth Movement. Bred in the movement since the age of twelve, they shock: the older men by their ignorance and manners, When asked his reli- gion, one of them, a prisoner of war, answered as if out of a book: "I have no time for such tomfoolery." Another answered: "My religion is Germany, which is better then faith in God, who after all was only a Jewish Je- hovah." These youngsters as a rule do not know anything of naval tra- ditions or history before the pres- ent century, and instead of being sea folk are mostly peasants who expected to serve in the infantry, imarearawrremorrrromermamermieraireronstramerrga DIALING WITH BORIS KARLOFF Here he is—the screen's and radio's master o£ mystery and the macabre; the horror genius, who is appearing currently in the smash Broadway revival of "Ar- senic and Old Lace' — the man who guests this coming Sunday, and on June 7111 and 2181 on the Sunday night 8,80 Inner Sanctum Mystery'Plays. Boris Karloff — epitome of all that is the -ulti- mate in mystery thrills, whether on the screen or on the air! * * ,* You probably know them by now—for during the past few weeks, the story built around their lives and activities, has un- folded a stilling tribute to the R.C.A.F., the R.A.F. and the men of the United Nations Flying Forces! But in case you haven't, CKOC invites you to meet the Canadian "Crash Wilson" — the American "States Tucker," — the Australian "Cob Fitzgerald,' and the Englishman "Bill Bolton;'' they star in the Wednesday night 8.00 o'clock "FLYING FOR FREEDOM" show, dramatizing in thrilling sequences; the life of the men in our Air Forces who are flying for our freedom. The four boys around whose activi- ties much of the story revolves, ars interesting, wide-awake men, whose aims, ideals and actions dovetail perfectly—whether on a friendly date on leave, or in a bomber or fighter squadron over PAVE: occupied territory. All the thrills, clanger and excitement of bomb- ing raids ---or fighter combat—of channel patrol are faithfully dramatized, "FLYING F 0 R FREEDOM" offers stimulating listening for us all, The show is aired locally over a number of Ontario stations — CKOC, Wed- nesday at 8.00 pan, — CFRB, Thursday at 9,30, * * s The I.Q, of quiz contestants throughout the country does not differ regionally, according to Dr, Harry Hagen, originator of "True or False," the Blue Net- work program heard each Mon- day night at 8.30 over a network of Ontario stations. Texas cow- punchers do as well as Boston Highbrows, and Georgia hillbil- lies have shown as much intelli- gence as Providence intellectuals, Hagen declares, basing his find- ings on scores compiled during the more than three years he has conducted the show coast-to-coast. Much of the fun of the show lies in the originality with which Dr. Hagen pita teams against each other ---women archery experts against young Indian warriors, being one interesting example. As people all over the country are busy suggesting new teams, Hag - en's fourth year with "True or False'' is developing many more novel combinations for the in- terest of Ontario listeners in tune 'with CKCO, CBY, CKOC, CICTB, CFPL, CFCO, 01(011 and CJIC, each Monday night at 8.30!
