The appearance of Christ to the ten ort Easter night, took place April 9, A.D. 30. 'The Ascension took place Thursday, May 18, A.D. 30. Place.—The appearance to the ten occurred in the Upper Room in Jerusalem; another appearance reeorded in our lesson took place on an unnitnen . mountain in Gali- lee: the Ascension itself took phare from a peek on the Mount of Olives. Easter Night 14. "And Afterward he was manifested oat) the eleven them- selves as they .sat at neat; and he upbraided therm with their unbe- lief and har3uess of heart, be- eause they believed not then that had seen him 'After he was risen." This is Murk's brief account of that which Luke (24:36-43) and Jahn (20:19-25) give with great detail, an episode of Easter Sun- da,- already dealt with in our last lesson. Some Doubted 16. "But the eleven disciples went into Gail::e, unto the moun- tain where jeeus had appointed them. 17. Ani when they saw him. they we shipped him; but some doubted." Their worship was not merely homage to a Bing but probably !evolved the con- viction that Christ was divine, Even the Saviour's bodily appear- ance seems, since the resurrection, to have been so altered and spiri. tualized that they felt more in- clined than formerly to worship him. The subject of doubt must have been whether this was really their Lord come to life. Christ's Authority 18.. "And Jesus cane to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and earth,',' Noth- ing less than the Divine govern- ment of the whole universe and the Kingdom of Heaven has been given to the Risen Lord. The glorified Christ is above every principality and authority and power and • dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. It, is on the plenti- tude of this Divine authority that He lays upon His Apostles and His Church His last great charge, and leaves to theta His last great promise. The Great Commission 19. "Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, bap- tizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." It is because the Messiah has all dominion both above and below that He gives this comprehensive charge to the Apostles. He commits the whole human race to their care, and they are not to rest until all have been brought in as disciples with them of the one Master. 'To make dis- • ciples' means to make of men learners, or followers of Christ. They were not to make men their disciples; they were to make men Christ's disciples. We are not to be followers of Christian leaders, but of the Christ whom every true Christian leader serves. Creed and Conduct 20. "Teaching them to observe ' all things whatsoever I command- ed you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Jesus tells us here that we are to train ourselves and others in, not creed but conduct, not things to be believed but ,. things to be done. A creed that is not wrought out in actions is empty; conduct that is not in•• formed, regulated by creed, is un- worthy of a rnan, not to say of a Christian. Hope For Everyone 15. "And he said unto them, Go .ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall 'be condemned." It is interesting to note that our Lord does not say that he who is not baptized shall be condemned, but that he that disbelieveth shall be condemned, while he who believes and is bap- tized shall be saved. This ap- plies to every living persoti in the world. ' Accolnpartying Signs 17. "And these signs shall ae•« t►ompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out dem- ons: they shall speak with new toligues; 18. they. shall take serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing; it shall in no wise burt thetas; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall re- Wer." These signs shall follow them that believe: Jesus does not mean that each of these signs: Weill manifest itself with eve* LAMBS TAKE CALF'S PLACE AT FESTIVE 30A.

"And behold, I send forth promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from an high. 50. And he led theist out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven." It has been suggested by many that man's last view of the Lord Jesus is of a Saviour with uplifted hands, in the attitude of bestow- ing a benediction, and that this is the true attitude of the Lord toward humanity ever since — He has ascended into heaven and is at the right hand of God only that he tight bless Wren. 19. "So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto then, was received up int heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God." The Son of Man at the right hand of God is our Inter- cessor with the Father. 52. "And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with .great joy. 53. and were continu- ally in the temple, blessing God." Our chapter begins withs a pic- ture of two disciples in deep despondency, knowing nothing but disappointment in the death of Christ. The chapter concludes with the _disciples convinced of our Lord's resurrection and re- joicing in the temple, blessing God. 20. "And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirm- ing the word, by the signs that followed. Amen." In Matthew Jesus promised to be with them; here Mark says that he ,mani- fested his presence by 'working with them' and `confirming the word,' proving its truth and real- ity.

There is a further reduction in wheat acreage in Manitoba this year of sixteen percent, but an increase of nineteen percent in barley, eight percent in oats and thirty-one percent in flax. The increase in barley and flax was what the government particularly. asked for. There will be an in- crease of seventeen percent in hogs, helping to meet the demand from Britain and a six percent increase of cattle. For the whole prairie country the report is less satisfactory. It is difficult to estimate accur- ately the reduction in wheat acre- age, but it looks like five percent. The increase in coarse grains and flax is much less than Was wanted for war production. • • Cancel Chicago Livestock Show k'3 a result of every available unit of transportation being re- quired for urgent war needs, the International Livestock Exposie tion and International Grain and Hay Show at Chicago has been cancelled for 1942. For forty- two years', the Livestock Expo- sition combined with the Grain. and Hay Show for the past twenty-three years, has been the greatest agricultural exposition on the North American continent. Apart altogether from the resolve of the people to prosecute the war to its utmost Iitnit, the prob- lem of the transportation of the huge number of exhibits, exhibi- tors' and visitors in this year of. war would have been impossible. Last year, in livestock alone, ap- proximately 14,000 animals were moved from thirty-seven States and from some of the provinces of Canada to the Exposition and Show, which attracted a record attendance of 400,000 persons. � itii0°io4/ Z3 SA' '$GS STAMPS 04/4/ nig REPORTER. DIALING WITH DAVE: TENOR TROUBADOUR! Amongst the . younger American screen and radio tenors, Allan Jones is high in popularity. Local station airings of his many record- ings, particularly hits by Victor Herbert and Jerome Kern, have endeared him to millions. As reg- ular tgnor guest of Mutual's "Chicago Theatre of the Atr" ser- ies, and outer important 'out of the West' shows, Allan Jones has built himself a great and loyal following. 5 * * 11 It's perhaps an old story by now —how a certain World War num- fiber one American Aviator, in the early 20's, went down to South America to sell Curtiss airplanes; how, on the day of demonstra- tion, he had to compete against a German ace — and compete he did, with two broken legs, put in oasts just the day before; . how he got into a dog-fight without ,guns, and finally forced the other plane to the ground, and sold the Chilean Army Staff ou the super- iority of American planes and Am- erican pilots. Yes, it was Brigadier General Jimmy Doolittle, who per- sonally piloted the sensational Tokyo bombing. But Doolittle's story has become radio's story— and from complimentary comedy quips on every fun show on the air, to downe•ight patriotic air - tributes, radio has ephanced the ascendancy of the Doolittle Star. And since the flight to Tokyo is just the first chapter in the Vic- tory Novel, radio will keep you in 'touch with each succeeding chap- ter, as the book is written. There'll be mare Ma.cArthur's, Doolittle's and others — and each will add burning fuel to the torch of free- dom! hired Alien is the kind of a guy folks just naturally tell storied about — and they're either funny or complimentary. In few other businesses does one find more happily married husband -and -wife collaborations than in radio. For one, we have Fred Allen and Port- land ornland Hoffa of the Sunday 9.00 p.m„ radio show. Fred, who is a very precise person, has been called "the man who married three wo- men. named Portland Hoffa"! It is Portland who types Fred's scripts front theiir carefully hand. lettered originals; it is Portland who plays the •scatter -brained stooge on the air, and it is Mra Fred Allen who runs the house- hold around Freed's workaday roue tine! 9. s 9, The Lone Ranger, whose leg- endary heroics in the days when the West was young, thrill young and old in their daily re-enact- ments oa the- air, is a consistent popularity poll loader — has been for some four years. CKOC in Hamilton carries the adventures daily at 530 p.m. And all the fam- iliar Characters of the Lone Rang- el- anget• escapades are present — in- cluding Tonto, the Indian, and the Ranger's great white horse, Silver. Stirring stuff, with right always triumphant over wrong, the Lone Ranger's radio adventures offer healthy; clean-cut listening for everyone! s 5 * News Notes From Here and There!

Monday nights 9.00 p.m. Radio Theatre, top ranking hour-long dramatic weekly show, is dress - rehearsed Sunday afternoons with. a Studio audience of service -men, who are keen to see and hear many of their radio and screen favorites in action.
