Zech. 4: 6, THE LESSON IN ITS SIETTiNGi Time--•Penfee0st, May 28, A.D. 30. Place -The city of Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit fell upon the dis- ciples ralhered together in an up- . per roam. The sermon was preach- ed in some large out -door area, evheao many people were able to assemble together to hear the word. Our Lord had told the disciples that they were to tarry in the city of Jerusalem until they should re- ceive power from on high to wit- ness to the great truths which Christ came to establish (Luke 24: 49). The latter part of the chapter preceding our lesson showed the disciples waiting in an upper room for this new enduement of power. They had been waiting for some ten days, from the time of our Lord's ascension to the day of Pentecost. Pentecost is the reversal of Bab- el. The gospel can be told in every tongue that men can speak, and they who have the Spirit are bound to utter the wonderful works of God in al] languages, for these works have been wrought for all flesh. 12. And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13. But. others mocking said, They are filled with new wine. New wide was sweet wine, but neverthe- less intoxicating. Peter Preaches 14. IBut Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and spake forth unto them, saying, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at. Jerusalem, be this known unto yon, and give ear unto my 'word s. 15. I"'or these are not drunken, as ye suppose; seeing it is but the third hour of the day. Wine was drunk by the Jews with flesh only, and, founding the custom on Exo- dus 16: S, they ate bread. in the morning, and flesh in the evening, and so took no wine till late in the day. (At the time this astonishing .manifestation occurred) it was only nine o'clock in the morning. 16. But this is that which hath been spoken through the prophet noel: The words which Peter quotes at the very beginning of his message are found in Joel 28- 32. 17. And it shall be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of nay Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and our old men shall dream dreams: 13 Yea and on my Servants and on my handmaidens in those days will I pour forth of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. The main theme of Peter's ser- mon is the resurrection of Jesus Midst. The apostle first presents the prophecies of the Old Testa - Ment that foretell such a resurrec- tion; he then proves that Christ Actually did rise from the dead; and he concludes by showing the tremendous consequences of such la stupendous, foretold, undeniable Miracle. St. Peter dwells in his sermon, on Christ's person, his sufferings, his tesurrection, his ascension, no longer indeed for the purpose, of ex- alting the Jewish nation, or pre - Voting its triumph, but to point it purely .spiritual lesson. 86. Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God Hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom yo cruci- fied. \Vhat Peter appeals tor here is that those who are listening to hien, the Jewish people, should know assuredly that Jesus was not -what he was judged to be, a crim- inal worthy of death, but the Christ of God, entitled to their worship and adoration. "Repent Ye" Aets 2: 37-41. 37. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said note Peter 20(1 the rest of the apostles, Breth- ren, what shall we do? A sharp knife had been struck into their hettl'ts as Pater relentlessly and am.rciles?ly drove Houle the fact of their respoesibillties for the death of the Sou of Goli. Thc'y were sllrit- ten by his words in the power of • th,' holy Spirit. 38.

Said Growing Rapidly 3,500 Claims Were Filed Dur- ing 1938 In Canada's Most Actively Prospected Gold Area. OTTAWA, Canada --- Yellow- knife, Northwest Territories, was the most actively prospected gold area in Canada during 1938, ac- cording to the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. More than thirty mining and pros- pecting companies were active in the Yellowknife area, as well as scores of individuals, syndicates and groups. Some 3,500 claims were filed during the year, bring- ing the total number of claims in the Yellowknife region up to about 5,500. 1,000 People Live There A thriving settlement of more than one thousand people has sprung up at Yellowknife Bay, at- tracted by the mining development which has taken place during the past three or four years. Last • year a 40 -acre townsite was sur- veyed and subdivided into 125 lots. The townsite now contains forty buildings, and a govern- ment radio station maintains con- stant communication with the out- side. Yellowknife is about 800 miles by air from Edmonton, and 600 miles by navigation from Waterways, the end of steel. With two gold milling plants, several promising developments under way, and numerous gold discoveries scattered over a wide area, Yellowknife has made rapid progress in its three years of active existence. A search for mysterious pirate treasure thought to be buried on the uninhabited island of Suwar- row, 900 miles northwest of Tahiti, will be carried out by the owner and crew of the New Zeal- and yacht Ngataki. The children here spoken of are the children of Israel; but those whom Peter spoke of as "afar off" must be the Gentiles. 40. And with many other words he testified, and exhorted them, saying, Save yourselves from this crooked generation. When Peter says that these were to save them- selves from a "crooked generation" he means that the time would come when the wickedness and crookedness of the world in gen- eral, already manifest in his gener- ation, would be judged, and men would be saved from such judg- ment only if they were safe in Jesus Christ. 41. They then that received his word were baptized: and there were added unto them in that day about three thousand souls. t" or 'ye ound Wolf Shot Near Ch'. s1ey George Jackiin, a farmer .just a few miles west of Chas - ley, shot a large timber wolf near his home. The animal weighed about 10 pounds and Mr. Jacklin shot it when the dogs, which were running rab- bits, chased it. The wolf had been seed a few clays ago in Brant Township, close to where it was shot, at Monk's bush, near Mr. Jacklin's home on the 12th concession of Brant Township. A bounty will be placed on the animal. ifornra at Floyd Berttaett airfield in New Yor': is the Force.

Miss Batlivala is convinced that India will play an important role in international affairs in the near future and that the weight of her 300,000,000 people may eventually displace the balance of power in Asia and in Europe. Is Boycotting Japan "In the middle of February, the All -India National Congress, which governs our internal affairs, will. meet for its annual session near the town of Jubbalpore," she said. "It always meets in a village so as to be nearer the people. The federa- tion of ail India will be the main point of the agenda, although the delegates are also bound to speak of the international situation. India is the country which has the most effective boycott of Japanese goods, in protest against the aggression in China." Gandhi is still the beloved leader of the Hindus, Miss Batlivala be- lieves, .and his ideal of non-violence has not lost any of its force.

ANNOUNCER A voice that once earned 20 cents a night selling newspapers is now announcing the new "Screen Guild Show," heard over the Col- umbia network every Sunday from 7.30 to 8.00 p.m., EST. It is that of John Conte, the 23 -year-old an- nouncer, who also serves on the "Silver Theatre" programs heard over the same network from 6.00 to 6.30 p.m., EST, on the same day. Conte is a native of Palmer, Mass., but received his schooling in Los Angeles; that's the place where he used to be a newsboy. While he says that sell- ing newspapers is excellent training f o r announcing, he admits that selling "commer- c.ials" is much til 0 r e lucrative John Conte. than selling "ex- tras", Besides, he claims, you meet a hater class of people.

There was no actor around to read his lines, so the pro- ducer read them himself. He did such a good job that a clamor im- mediately went up from the rest of the cast and ofd - rials that Gardner continue in the role. And that's how Gardner also became actor "Ar- chie." Other reg - u l a r l y featured performers on "This Is N e w York" include Leith Stevens and his 35 -piece or- chestra and the Lyn. Murray Chor- us. Different Ed.
