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,

A Few 1150 Listening Tips
If bells mean anything to you,
you'll probably be getting- quite
a kick out of CKOC's 6.00 to 8.00
a.m. Daybreak Serenade with Len
Smith. A Toronto fan, who has
been a consistent listener to the
program, tendered the show a
battery of bells of every type and
description, to be used for vari-
ous Smith '`gags' to brighten up
the `get out of bed with a smile'

soloist, and choral arrangements
by the Master Singers, the week-
ly half hour treat is melodic lis-
tening.
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."
