THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time,' --The entire period from
our Lords resurreetioa. to Hie
ascension severe forty days. The
appearance of Christ to the ten
on Easter night, took place Apia!

place. Thursday, May 18, A.D. 30.
Place.—The appearance to the
ten occurred in the Upper Room
jn Jerusalem; another appearenos
recorded in our lesson took place
.on an Unnamed mountain in Gali-
lee: the Ascension itself took

Easter Night
14. "And afterward he was
manifested unto the eleven them-
selves aa they sat at meat; and he
upbraided thein with their unbe,
lief and hardness of heart, be-
cause they believed not them that
had seen him after he was risen."
This is Mark's brief account of
that which Luke (24:36-43) and
John (20:19-25) give with great
detail, an episode of Easter Sun-
day already dealt with in our last
lesson.
Some Doubted
16. "But the eleven disciples
went into Galilee, unto the moun-
tain where Jesus had appointed
them, 17. And when they saw
him, they worshipped him; but
some doubted." Their worship
was not merely homage to a Bing
but probably involved the con-
viction that Christ was divine.
Even the Saviour's bodily appear-
ance seems, since the resurrection,
to have been so altered and spiri-
tualized that they felt more in,
dined than formerly to worship
him. The subject of doubt must
have been whether this we's really
their Lord come to life,
Christ's Authority
18. "And Jesus came to them
and snake unto them, saying, All
authority hath been given unto
me in heaven and earth." Noth-
ing less than the Divine govern-
ment of the whole universe and
the Kingdom of Heaven has been
given to the Risen Lord. The
glorified Christ is above every
principality and authority and
power and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in
this age, but also in that which
le to come. It is on the pienti-
tude of this Divine authority that
He lays upon His Apostles and
His Church His last great charge,
and leaves to them His last great
promise.
The Great Commission
19. "Go ye therefore, and make
disciples of all the nations, bap-
tizing then into the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit." It is because the
Messiah has all dominion both
above and below that He gives
this comprehensive charge to the
Apostles. He commits the whole
human race to their care, and they
are not to rest until all have been
brought in as disciples with thenn-
ef the one Master. 'To make dis-
ciples' means to stake of men
learners, or followers of Christ.
They were not to make Hien their
disciples; they were to make men
Christ's disciples. We are not to
be followers of Christian leaders,
but of the Christ whom every
true Christian leader serves.
Creed and Conduct
20. "Teaching thein to observe
all things whatsoever I command-
ed you: and lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the
world." Jesus tells us here that
we are to train ourselves and
others in, not creed but conduct,
not things to be believed hut
things to be done. A. creed that
to not wrought out in actions is
empty; conduct that is not in.
formed, regulated by creed, is un-
worthy of a man, not to say of a
Christian.
Hope For Everyone
15. "And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to the whole
creation, 16. He that believeth
and Is baptized shall be saved;
but he that disbelieveth shall be
condemned." It is interesting to
note that our Lord does not say
that he who is not baptized shall
be condemned, but that he that
disbelieveth shall be condemned,
while he who believes and is bap-
tized shall be saved. This ap-
plies to every living person in
the world.
Accompanying Signs
17. "And these signs shall as-
company them that believe: in
my name shall they cast out dem-
ons; they shall speak with new
tongues; 18, they shall take up
serpents, and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall in no wise
hurt them; they shall lay bends
on the sick, and they shallre-
cover." These .signs shall' follow
them that believe. Jesus does not
mean that each of these signs
shall manifest itself with every,

believer, but this miracle with
one and that with another,
49. "And behold, I send forth
promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city, until ye
be clothed with power from on
high, 50. And he led them out
until they were over against
Bethany: and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them. 51. And
it came to pass, while he blessed
them, he parted from thein and
was carried up into heaven." 1t:
has been suggested by many that
man's last view of the Lord Jesus
is of a Saviour with uplifted
hands, in the attitude of ,bestow-
ing a benediction, and that this.
is the true attitude of the Lord
toward humanity ever since — He
has ascended into heaven and is
at' the right hand of God only
that he might bless Hien.
19. "So then the Lord Jesus,
after he had spoken unto them,
was received up into heaven, and
sat down at the right hand of
God." The Son- of Mati at the
right hand of God is our Inter,
censor with the Father.
52. "And they worshipped hint,
and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy. 53. and were continu-
ally in the temple, blessing God."
Our chapter begins withs a pic-
ture of two disciples in deep
despondency, knowing nothing but
disappointment in the death of
Christ. The chapter concludes
with the disciples convinced of
our Lord's resurrection, and re-
joicing iii the temple, "blessing
God.
20. "Anel they went forth, and
preached everywhere, the Lord
working with them, incl confirm-
ing the word, by the signs that
followed. Amen," in Matthew
-'esus promised to be with them;
here Mark says that he mani-
fested his presence by 'working
with them' and `confirming the
word,' proving its truth and real-
ity. •

Outlook Is Good
For Manitoba Crop
The outlook for the Manitoba
crop at the opening of the season
is good, according to The Winni-
peg Free Press; •in Saskatchewan
it is fair, but in Alberta .not 10
good, far lack of rain in the cent-
ral and northern areas.
There is a further reduction in
wheat acreage in Manitoba this
year of sixteen percent, but an
increase of nineteen percent in
barley, eight percent in oats and
thirty-one percent in flax. The
increase in barley and flax was
what the government particularly
asked for.. There will be an in-
crease of seventeen percent in
hogs, helping to meet the demand
from Britain and a six percent
increase of cattle.
For the whole prairie country
the report is less satisfactory.
It is difficult to estimate accur-
ately the reduction in wheat acre-
age,
but it looks like five percent.
The increase in coarse grains and
flax is ranch' less than was wanted
for war production.
Cancel Chicago
Livestock Show.
.As a result of every available
unit of transportation being re-
quired for urgent war needs, the
International Livestock Exposi-
tion and International Grain and
Hay Show at Chicago has been
cancelled for 1942. For forty-
two years, the Livestock Expo
sition combined with the Grain.
and (lay Show for the past
twenty-three years, has been the
greatest agricultural exposition on
the North American continent.
Apart altogether from the resolve
of the people to prosecute the
war to its utmost limit, the prob-
lem of the transportation of the
huge number of exhibits, exhibi-
tors and visitors in this year of
war would_ have been impossible.
Last year, in livestock alone, ap-
proximately 14,000 animals were
moved front -thirty-seven States
and from some of the provinces
of Canada to the Exposition and
Show, which attracted a record
attendance of 400,000 persons.

It's perhaps' an old atoty by now
—how a certain World War num-
bar one American Aviator, in, the

America to sell Curtiss airplanes;
how, on the day of demonstra-
tion, he had to compete against a
German ace — and compete he
did, with two broken legs, put in
caste just the day before; how
he 'got into a dogfight without

iority of American pieties and Am-
erican pilots. Yes, it was Brigadier
General Jimmy Doolittle, who per-
sonally piloted the sensational
