(tett of thein, Judas being dead and
Thomas being absent) were in the
upper room in Jerusalem on the eve
of the first , Easter Sunday. The door
was shut for fear of the hostile Jews
1 (John), but suddenly, seemingly with-
out opening the door, Christ stood in
the room, In some .Such mysterious
and sudden, way Christ had disappear-
ed from the room in Emmaus a short
time before. And saith unto thein,
Peace be unto you. 'This was a corn
mon salutation among the Jews; re-
member Christ's 'commands as He
sent out the seventy (Luke xo:5, 6).
But they were terrified and af-
frighted. Two words of fear, to ex-
press the greatness of their- terror,
And • supposed that they beheld a
spirit. It will be recalled that` mon-
ths before, as Christ came to the dis-
ciples walking on. the .waves of the
Sea:of.Galilee; they cried out -in fear,
thinking He was a ghost. They still
had the same fear of the supernatural,

and troubles resolutely, and force our-
selves to analyze thein and see how
little basis of reality and reason they
have, we are far on our way toward
overcoming them. And wherefore do.
questionings arise in your heart? We
may be sure that if these tremors and
terrors did not actually occur, the wri-
ters of theGospels would never' have
recorded them, witnessing as they did

us of the forty days between the re-

John referred to the scene: "That

(x John 1:i). This is the precise evi-,
Bence and experience which Thomas
afterwards demanded for himself,
Handle me, and see; for a spirit hath
not flesh and bones, as ye behold me
having. Christ's risen body seems
before His ascension to have been
much if nbt altogether like His 'body
before crucifixion, and the great
change to a spiritual body came in
the moment of ascension. Tobe. sure
He had just passed through the dos-
ed door; but that was a miracle, ana-
logous to His walking on the water,
which proves that in His _ earthly bo-
dy He ebuld transcend material limi-
tations.

Very likely also His spear -pierced
side, as later to Thomas. It is one
of the most moving scenes in Bible
history,

for joy, and wondered, In the Gar-

apostles asleep froth grief; here, seep death, in His ; prayer in the upper
room, our Lord spoke as if He had

from Hisdisciples. d serp es. That all things
must needs be fulfilled. " Which are
written in the law of Moses, and the
prophets, and the psalms, concerning
me. This was the Jewish division .of
the Old Testament, the Law signify-
ing•the Pentateuch, the Prophets in-
cluding most of the historical books,
and the Psalms including the re-
mainder.
Then opened he their mind. The.
Holy Spirit had not yet .come with
outward manifestation and in power,
for Christ had not yet ascended; but
His Spirit moved upon their spirits
giving them clearness of apprehen-
sion. That they - might understand
the scriptures. He took up one by
one the great Messianic passages of
the Old Testament, and showed how
they had been fulfilled by Him, es-
pecially by His atoning sufferings
and death and His • resurrection.
And he said unto them, Thus it is
written, that the Christ should suf-
fer. Read, for instance, Isa. J3, and
find in it a marvellous picture of the
'sufferings of Christ at His trial and
on the cross. And rise again from
the dead the third day.
And that repentance and remission
of sins should be preached, John
the Baptist, whose work is described
in such prophecies. as Mal. 4: 5, 6,
the closing words of the Old Testa-
ment, preached repentance es his
main theme, and Christ to)sk up the
exhortation. His death was a cruci-
fice for the remission of the sins of
all believers. In his name, "No other
name." Christ, . the unique'' glory of
the Christian religion. Unto all the
nations. The Jews were the most ex-
clusive of nations, and yet God im-
bedded in their Scriptures numerous
prophecies of the world-wide reach
of the salvation that should cotne
through one of their race. Begin-
ing from Jerusalem. Christ con-
stantly insisted that "salvation is
frons the Jews; He came primarily
to seek out "the lost shed ,.of the
house of. Israel," because He knew
that a world -winning religion must
first gain a strong foothold in some
one part of the world, and no other
dation or race was so close to God.
as the Jews, having been providen-
tially prepared for this very work,
from the beginning of their history.
Ye are witnesses, . of these things.
The apostles took this command to
heart, and it is well for us that they
did, 'since we receive our knowledge
of Christ through them and those to
whom they passed on the good news.
And behold, I send forth the prom-
ise of my Father upon you. But
tarry ye in the city, until ye be cloth-
ed with power fronton high. In
Acts 1:4 Luke repeats the command
not to leave Jerusalem e is lem until the out-
pouring of the Spirit had empowered
then ,,to preach the gospel and meet
all the persecutions that were certain
to come. This .power" of the Holy
Spirit was a wonderful garment, and
they were nal• ed and unprotected till
they were wrapped in it.

tical from joy—one of the psychologi-
cal touches of which St. Luke is
fond, profoundly. true to nature
Before this, grief had iinade unbeliev-
ers of them; now, joy. Belief is the
result of calm and reasoned thought
and : they were as yet too excited : for
that. He said unto them, . Have ye
here anything to eat? They had been
eating supper together, and the dishes
were probably still • on the table
around which they were reclining.
And they gave him a piece of a
broiled fish, Jerusalem, we are told
in the Talmud, received regular sup-
plies of fish from the Sea of Galilee.
Which swarmed with then. It was
probably a fish from those .well-
known and well -beloved, waters that
Christ ate.
And he ' took it,' and ate before
them. It was striking' proof of the
reality of Christ's resurrection, and
one that they could never forget.
Peter, in his sermon before the com-
pany in the house of' Cornelius, re-
called the scene.
THOMAS, THE SEVEN, AND
THE ELEVEN
John's Gospel alone, the Gospel of
faith, tells us that Thomas, the doubt-
ing apostle, was absent from the ga-
thering of the `Eleven when Christ
first appeared to them, and refused to
believe the entire ten when they re-
lated what had happened, asserting
that he would never believe Christ's
resurrection .without the , same evi-
dence of sight and touch that had
been granted to the ten. Therefore
our Lord, always glad to meet genu-
ine doubt with indubitable proof,
came again a week later under the
same .conditions, Thomas ,this time
being present; ' and when He bade the
doubting apostle place his fingers on
the ,nail, prints and the spear wound,
Thomas did not make the test, but in
one of the bitrsts of splendid nobility
which "seemed characteristic of him,
cried out' with all ,his soul, "My Lord
and my God!"'
That exclamation expressed the cli-
max of faith in the Gospel ,records,
It reached to the full realization of
the divine nature of Jesus Christ, and
adequately expressed that realization.

it may have taken ' place on some
quiet upland near the beloved village
of Bethany on the eastern slope o eof
the famous hill. May we not imagine
that Christ's mother was there, and
Mary Magdalene, and the three of the
Bethany home? And he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them. It was His
pierced hands, '.pierced for them and
for all men,' which He lifted up in
blessing over them. We should re-
joice to know those words of bless-
ing, for they must have been freight-
ed with the richest love.
And it came to pass, while be
blessed them, he parted from there.
Literally, "He stood apart from
them," implying a definite and final
act of separation. • And was carried
up into heaven. The Greek tense
implies that He was gradually borne
up into heaven. The account in
Acts states that a cloud came be

minds that He was God, and to be

salem with great joy. This "great
jo'y," on first thoughts, is singular till
we read between the lines, and see
how perfectly they now grasped the
new mode of ,the. Lord's connection
with His own.
• And they were continually in the
temple, blessing God. The temple,
the place that . was dear to Jesus
above all other spots on earth, His
Father's house, the place of His first
recorded words, the scene of His la-
test public teachings, the religious'
centre of the Jewish race, was equally
clear to Christ's disciples, and became
the most natural place for the dissem-
ination of the new religion.
