Luke 24: 1-48. • PRINTED TEXT, Luke 24: 33-48, GOLDEN TEXT—Ye are witness• res of these things. Luke 24; 49. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time — Christ's Resurrection toc'r: place on Easter Sunday, Ap- rii A.D. 3(1, The exact time whop Christ gave the commission found in verses 41-48 is very much disputed, Some believe this particular commission was giver( on the clay be rose from the dead. Most harmonies of the Gospels plave it at the end of the forty days, when Christ was about to ascend, Place — The opening part of this chapter, concerning the wo-, men in conversation with the an- gel, took place at the tomb where Christ had been buried; the beau- tiful story of our Lord's conver- sation along the road with two disciples occurred somewhere be- tween Jerusateru and a town west of the city named Emmaus, the exact location of which we do not know. The appearance of our Lord to the' ten disciples was in an upper room in the city of Jerusalem. Report of Experiences S3. "And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and. found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34, saying 'the Lord has risen indeed, and hath ap-• peered to Simon.' 35. And they rehearsed the things that hap. pened in the way, and how he was known of them in the break- ing of the bread." Two thing's are. notable -- they knew just where to go, and they found not only the apostles but also others ell together in one place. This is what the morning news of the resurrection had done in spite of the disbelief with which it was received. When Mary Magdalene rushed back early in the morning she found •only Peter and. John. The rest were scattered. But now they are all together again. With Jesus dead, the bond was ;Nelsen; nothing could hold even the eleven together anymore; but with Jesus even only possibly risen from the dead, the old bond began to hold again. Bestowal of Peace 36. "And as he spake these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and salt; unto them, `Peace be unto you'." Prob- ably the disciples were in the same upper room where they had been on Thursday evening, at the time of the institution of the Lords Supper. At the close of this great scene, He once more pronounced the benediction of Peace, and breathed on then with the words, `Receive the Holy spirit'. Fear and Comfort • POI S STUDY BREN GUN Perparing to fight on for Poland, recruits from 'all over the continent are being trained at Owen Sound, Ontario. A sizeable unit has already been built up with men drawn mainly from the United States, where there are 5,000,000 people of Polish extraction. This group is studying the action of es Bren gun. hearts swung around from an extreme of fear to en extreme of joy, in which reason for a (!foment became confused and faith bewildered. But while the heavenly trance is yet upon them, Jesus recalls them to earthly bhings, asking if they have any meat. Our Lord gave an addi- tional proof that He did have a true body and could eat. Unshakable Foundation 44. "And he said unto them, `These are My words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and the pro- phets, and the psalms, concern- ing me. 45. Then opened he their mind, that they might understand the Scriptures." Our Lord knew that the one unshakable founda- tion on which all the preaching of the apostolic ohurch could safely rest was, on the other hand, a conviction regarding the Scriptures as they foretold the Messiah, and conviction regard- ing Jesus as the Christ of God. Four Great Truths 46. "And he said unto them, Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; 47. and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name unto all the nations, begin- ning from Jerusalem. . 48. Ye are witnesses of these things." Four great truths our Lord once more announced as he was about fin- alise- to leave His followers—the truth concerning Himself thet He was Christ; the truth concerning Els death—He must suffer; the truth concerning His resurrection; and the truth concerning remis- 3 7 , "But they were; terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they beheld a spirit. 38. "And. he said unto them, 'Why are ye troubled': and wherefore do ques- tionings arise in your heart'?" G. H. Knight says: 'The thoughts that arise in my heart may be doubting thoughts, anxious, re- gretful or remorseful thoughts, but I will let this thought be as the sun that banishes the mists— my Lord is with me still. If I am troubled with thoughts of my sin, He tells me that he rose again for my justification. If I am troubled by my sorrows and cares, He tells me that He rose from the grave to give nee His perfect peace. If I ani troubled with the thought of death, and my lying in the grave, He tells me that He passed through it too, and consecrated it for me by lying there Himself; so that because He lives I shall live also.' Jesus In The Flesh 30, "See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle lee and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye behold me having." Jesus is patient with his proof. They were eonvineed. before He came into the room, but that psychological shock had unnerved them all The exact nature of Christ's resurrection body is not defined for us. It was a body that certainly was in many ways different from His pre -resurrection body. Whether his body underwent further chan- ges he£ore His final ascension to heaven, we are not told, and what is not revealed to us ought not , to be a subject of prolonged spec- ulation. Additional Proof 40, "And when He bad said this, He showed them His hands and His feet, 41, And while they still disbelieved for joy, and won- dered, He said unto them, `Have ye here 'anything to eat?' 42, And they gave Hiln a piece of a broiled fish. 43, And He took it, and ate it before them." Jesus wanted to convince His own apos- tolic. company beyond any quer•- tion that He had in His •own body risen from the dead. Beholding' Itis hands and His feet, their sion of sins in His name; a mes- sage for all men everywhere. Of these things, the disciples were, and you and I are, to be wit- nesses. People Of Maita Happy Amid Bombs Oft -bombed Malta is pictured by a correspondent as an idyllic island of bathing parties, dances and moving picture shows. Summer heat and "calm limpid sea", the correspondent • said are increasing the popularity of the swimming parties. A new cinema has just been opened and large crowds were attending evening dances. The correspondent cited these facts as proof of the defenders' morale and added: "The citizens have a profound conviction that the more aircraft the enemy sends over, the more he will lose—a conviction the enemy seems to share judging by recent raids." U. S. To Distribute Free Gas Masks Free gas masks will be dis- tributed to all civilians in the U. S. beginning the last of this month under a program for pro- duction of 2,500,000 masks a month, said James M. Landis, •civilian defence director. Landis said the initial output of masks would go to groups most likely to need them first, such as police- men, firemen and air raid war- dens, 1111114.1.1..

Weekly 'Open House' Held By Regiment One of Britain's most famous regiments holds an "open house" where for one hour every week officers and men meet on equal terms to discuss matters concern- ing the unit. Grievances and problems, rang, ing from why the men have to go on crossscountry runs as pun- ishment for crimes, are aired and members of the regiment claim ' the debate is one of the most valuable hours of the week. Started as an experiment, "op- en house" has proved invaluable in establishing closer contact be- tween officers and men and ex- plaining away minor misunder- standings which, if not cleared up, might have had a damaging . effect on morale Motor Car Industry Contributes To War What with doing without new things and salvaging old, every- body verybody is making some contribu- tion to the production of war material; helping to beat the Ax, is in that race, says The St. Tho- mas Times -Journal. The sus- pension of the automobile indust- ry is a wonderful and encourag- ing• demonstration of what that mewls to the war effort. According to Business Condi- tions,' publicatioll of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, the ending of automobile production will effect the following savings, figured on the .basis of a normal year of 3,000,000 vehicles (that will not be produced) : . Enough steel and rubber to build 125,000 medium tanks; enough tin for 3,000,000,000 cans of average size; enough aluminum for 42,857 fighter planes; enough nickel for 150,000 tons of nickel ' steel for armor plate arid pro- jectiles; enough zinc and copper for 7,000,000,000 cartridge cases. Such news is consolation to those who hoped to get a new cal` this year. If the family car coughs and sputters and jangles, and gets balky occasionally', it will be something to be proud of, ' not ashamed. Black Bear's Head As Squadron Crest A Royal Canadian Air Force Spitfire Squadron of fighter com- mand, commanded by Squadron Leader R. E. Morrow of Toronto and formerly of Vancouver, is adopting the snarling head of a Canadian black bear as the squadron crest. "We've .been thinking about getting ourselves a crest for some time," says the squadron leader, "but we couldn't make up our minds what the crest would be." "For a while, we thought about using a Canadian grey goose, but the colors don't stand out well enough. So we decided on the bear's head. At present, the de- sign is being drawn up and ap- proved by the British heraldic authorities." ■ ■ HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured animal, useful . to man (pl.). 6 It is an — or hoofed beast.. 12 Pertaining to wings. , 13 Policeman. 15 Goddess or discord. 16 Citizen. 17 Fashion. 18 Lion's prison. 19 Bushel (abbr.). 20 Measure. 21 Storage box for coal. 22 Its female. 23 Taro paste. 24 To place. 25 Flogs. 26 A spur. 27 Paradise. 29 Kind. 30 To roost. 31 Japanese coin. 32 Ancient chisel 47 Three.
