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! 9, A.D. 80, The Ascension took 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 Placa from a peak on the Mount of Olives, 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, LAMBS TAKE CALF'S PLACE AT FESTIVE 'BOARD Young, but resourceful, motherless twin lambs solve thair food problem satisfactorily with the co-operation of an obliging Guernsey cow on a Rnshford, Minn, fares.

"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. • CREATOR'OF STARS HORIZONTAL 1 Famous name in history of the stage. 12 Wall -eyed pike. 13 Furnished with a sole, 14 To ac- knowledge, 16 Grafted. 17 Slatted box, 18 Century plant fiber. 19 Duct. 20 Horse's trappings. 49 To walk, 21 Lion's home. 50 Beer. 22 Viscous. 51 Songs for 24 Woolly. single voices, 27 Small island. 52 Empty, 30 To think, 53 Opposite of 31 Trappings. cold. 32 Flower 55 He was a — leaves. of fine stage 34 To abhor. 35 And. 37 Dibbles. 41 Pennies. years. 45 Licks up.

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.
