LESSON XIII
CHRIST'S COMMISSION,—
Luke 24:36-53.
GOLDEN TEXT. -- Behold, I
*end forth the promise of my
Father upon you. Luke 24:49.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING.
Time.—The appearance to the
ten disciples, Thomas being ab-
sent, took place on Sunday eve-
ning, April 9th, the day of the
Resurrection; the particular
time when the events recorded
in verses 4.4-49 took place, we are
Trot able to determine. It was of
course during the last two weeks
of April, or the first two"weeks
of May. The Ascension occurred
on Thursday, May 18, A.D. 30. ,
Place.—The appearance to the
ten disciples occurred in the up-
per room in Jerusalem. The ex-
act place where the events of
verses 44-49 took place we do not
know. The Ascension occurred
at the village of Bethany, on the
'western slope of the Mount of
Olives.
In this lesson we feel the de-
sire on the 'part of the Lord Jesus
to persuade His disciples beyond
all doubt that He was indeed the
Jesus who had been crucified on
Calvary, that He had truly, in
His own body, risen from the
dead; and, this being true, He
pressed upon the disciples the
obligation to proclaim to the
world the truths involired in His
life and death and Resurrection.
Evening of Resurrection
Suddenly, while Peter and
John were describing what had
previously passed between them-
selves and the risen Christ, they
'became conscious 'of a Presence
In their midst. Luke 24:36. "And
as they spake these things, he
himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace
be unto you.". With - Christ the
words of greeting were, no empty
formality. The Resurrection was
a divine assurance that peace had
been re-established between God •
and His world; and the original
disciples .of the Lord, who had
eontinued with Him in His temp-
tations, were the first to receive
the message of this reconcilia-
tion, as they were to be the first
to publish it to mankind.
"Why Are Ye Troubled?"
37, "But they were terrified
a]nd affrighted, and supposed
that they beheld a spirit." The
disciples probably at once reeog-
zaised that the person who stood
before them was the Lord, yet
they did not believe it was
Christ in a body, but simply the
disembodied spirit of Jesus. And
Such an apparition would fright-
en the most hardened individual.
88. "And lie said unto them,
Why are ye troubled? 26. And
wherefore do questionings arise
In your heart?" They believed,
and they did not believe.
39. "See my hands and my
feet, that it is I myself: handle
Sze, and see; for a Spirit hath
act flesh and bones, as ye behold
me having. 40. And when he
'ltd said this, he showed them
ibis hands and his feet." If these
disciples were not to have a pro-
found conviction of the truth
mat he had risen from the grave,
then they could never' unflinch-
ingly, incessantly, boldly, preach
the Resurrection of Christ. They
mart have abundant evidence,
b contravertible evidence: they
bed it before the forty days of
Christ's appearance had been
completed• 41. "And while they
still disbelieved for joy, and won-
4ered, he said unto them, Have
Loc:.�, to eat,. 42:
fSazyvziza>a
.lnd•. r
-y give hind a piece of
roiled fish. 43. And he took it,
and ate before them."
Final Instructions
44. "And he said unto them,
these are niy words which I
spake unto you, while I was yet
with you, that all things must
needs be fulfilled, which are
written in the law of Moses, and
the prophets, and the psalms,
concerning me. 45. Then opened
Ite their mind, that they might
hnderstand the scriptures," Christ
eagerly began to interpret to the
disciples some ori the greater
Messianic passages of the Old
Testament which His coming, and
death, and resurrection had ful-
filled. Soon He would go away,
but the word of God would not
depart from then-; it would re -
Stain in their hands, and, know-
ang its meaning, convinced of its
divine origin and the fulfilment
def its prophecies, they could go
Borth to proclaim the Lord Jesus
dr the Christ of whom Moses and
the Prophets had spoken. This
Is what we constantly find the
Apostles doing in the Acts of the
Apostles.
Witnesses of These Things
46, "And he said unto them,
Taus it is written, that the Christ
etrbould suffer, and rise again.
from the dead the third day. 47,
And that repentance and remise
Ilion of sins should be preached
in his name unto all the nations,
beginning train Jerusalem." This
is not an invitation but a oom-
taandt it is nota .suggestion, batt

an order. Those who believe that
Christ died for our ains and rose
• again, who believe the ward of
God, are those to whom this coin -
mission is given. 48. "Ye are
witnesses of these things." The
'word "witness" implies fact. The
task of the disciples was to say,
"We knew Hini living, we mourn-
ed Him stead, we saw Him risen."
The Ascension
49. "And behold, I send forth
the promise of my Father upon
you: but tarry we in the city,
until ye 'bee clothed with power
freed on high." The promise of
the Father is the promise of the
Holy Spirit, referred to in Isaiah
44:3 and other Old Testament -
books and by Christ himself dur-
ing Passion Week. 50. "And he
led them out until they were over
against Bethany: and he lifted
up his hands, and blessed then.
51. And it came to pass, while
he blessed them, he parted from
them, and was carried up into
heaven. 52. And they worship-
ped him, and returned to Jerusa-
lem with great joy: 53. And
were continually in the temple,
blessing God." This worship of
Jesus, in whom we see the deity,
and who in His person is deity,
will continue to all eternity, The
visible presence of Jesus was
gone, not to appear again as be-
fore, but when the disciples re-
turned to Jerusalem, their hearts
sang with great joy. They were
not bereaved, but enriched,

'Commons.
Mr. Mulook, in answer to a ques-
tion put by Gordon B. .Isnot-, Lib-
eral, Halifax, said: "I have pleas-
ure in stating that the TransCan-
ada air mail service wil+b> be ex-
tended on or about April 15 from
the former eastern terminal at
Moncton, N.B., to Halifax, and that
the frequency of service between
Montreal, Moncton and Halifax
will be increased to two round
trips daily including Sunday.
"This will furnish a direct air
mail sit -ice between Halifax and
Vancouver, and b) eliminating the
necessity of a transfer of mails and
passengers at Moncton will further
reduce the elapsed time necessary
to fly between the Atlantic and
Pacific, shores of this Dominion.
The inclusion of Halifax on the
main transcontin11ntal air route Is
the logical outgrowth not only of
the continually increasing volume
of air mail destined for and origin-
ating in Halifax, but also of the
progressive policy of the Dost office
department in furnishing Caned
tans with best possible air mail
service, an air mail, service second
to none."

. NOTES AND NEWS
Radio commentator H. V. Kellen-
• born has been right more often
than_ wrong in his forecasting of
war moves and trends so far. The
other day he expressed this as his
considered opinion: "On military
factors alone, the war will end in
two years with a British victory."
Hequalified it a little with the
remark that political upheavals
might throw his reckoning out k
bit.
