GOLDEN TEXT,—But ye shall

Spirit is come upon you; and ye

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—Tho Ascension of Christ
occurred on Thursday, May 18th,
A.A. 30, as far as we are able to
ascertain. Pentecost occurred
ten days later—May 28.

and, for the most part, the uppex
Boom, wherever that may have
men located.
In this lesson we are forcefully
reminded of the significance of
our Lord's 'last days on earth, of
the definite work which He gave
Hie Church to do, and of the
akower which He promised to His
Church for flee doing of this
,great wro??.•, Together with the an-
ncance'men.t of the angels con-
cerning our Lord's return,
Our Lord's Final Words
The final appearance of our
Lord and His Ascension are re-
corded only by Mark and by
Luke, though Luke's account is
by far the fuller of the two, both
in the Gospel of Luke and his
great historical work, known now
as the Acts of the Apostles.
Acts. 1:1 "The former treatise
I made, 0 Theophilus, concerning
all that Jesus began both to do
and to teach. 2. -Until the day in
which he was received up, after
that he had given commandment
through the Holy Spirit unto the
apostles whom he had chosen: 8.
To whom he also showed himself
alive after his passion by many
proofs, appearing unto them by
the space of forty days, and
speaking the things concerning
the kingdom of God." In the
opening paragraph Luke gives, as
It were, the three keynotes of the
treatise to follow: the subject of
the book of Acts is the same as
that of the Gospel (former treat-
ise) — the words and deeds of
Jesus; the Acts is the history of
the fulfilment of the commission
of Christ to the disciples to be
witnesses to Hina; and again,
this commandment was given
through the Holy Ghost.
The Holy Spirit
4. "And, being assembled to-
gether with them, he charged
them not to depart from Jerusa-
lem, but to wait for the promise
of the Father, which, said he, ye
heard from me: 5. For John in-
deed baptized with water; but ye
shall be baptized in the Holy
pirit not many days hence."
These words 1eia3Y to the descent
of the Holy Spirit upon the as-
a*embled believers on the Day of
Pentecost, ten days after our
Lord's Ascension, and we can
truthfuIIy say that the Holy
Spirit has continued to .abide
upon the Church from that day
until this. In great quietness,
we should all set our souls still,
silent unto God, and give the
Holy Spirit time to quicken and
deepen in us the assurance that
God will grant Him to work
mightily.
6. "They therefore, when they
wore come together, asked him,
saying, Lord, dost thou at this
tine restore the kingdom of Is-
rael?? 7. And he said unto them
It is not for you to know times
or season, which the Father hath
set within his own authority."
This amazing question indicates
en established faith in Hint as the
Messiah, but betrays, at the same
time, an expectation that His
kingdom would be to some extent
a temporal one—that it would,
free the nation from their de-
pendence en the Romans and re -
*tore to them their ancient pros-
perity and power. 8. "But ye
shall receive power, when the
Moly Spirit is come upon you."
The ,Apostles were not only
promised the power of the Holy
Spirit, they were given his power
—divine power, power to convict,
power to illuminate, power for
miracles, power when at work in
the hearts of men would actually
transform them, Today the Gos-
pel still lives! Men are saved.
Sins are put away, Hope is botn
be the human heart. The Holy
Spirit is still with ells, but of
course, lie will only work through
those who yield to His sovereign
sway in the throne -room of their
lives,
To the, Uttermost Part
"And ye shall be witnesses both,
rte 3erusaleils, an4 in all Judaea
and ditto' the uttermost part of
the earth." This verse is really
an outline in brief of the book of
Acts. The disciples did exactly
what the Lord told them to do—
thein job was to be witnesses and
tell the truth, the whole truth in
their message of *"esus and. His
life on earth. 9, "And when he

were looking, he was taken up;
and a cloud received him out of
their sight."
The Angel's Message
10, "And while they were look-
ing stedfastly into heaven as he
went, behold two men stood by
therm in white apparel; 11, Who
also said, ye men of Galilee, why
stand ye looking into heaven? this
Jesus, who was received up from
you into heaven, shall so some in
like manner as ye beheld him go-
ing into heaven. 12. Then re-
turned they unto Jerusalem from
the mount called Olivet, which Is
nigh unto Jerusalem, a sabbath
day's journey off."

"BIRTHRIGHT"
Early in January, the CBC
Features Department produced
one of its most stirring broad-
casts—"Birthright." The script
is by 73arry Ernest Foster, and
tells Canadians of their precious
heritage today when tyrants have
billed freedom in Europe, and are
threatening it throughout the
world. The writer tells Canadians
how their Iand was built by the
"mad-souled dreamers," the trap-
pers and the voyageurs who "dar-
ed the wilderness with song," and
the pioneers who hewed out their
homesteads from the depth of the
forests, and how it was defended
by "the gay, unheeding lads who
made in war the ultimate offer-
ing."
It has been decided to present
"Birthright" again to listeners of
CBC's National Network. The
broadcast will be heard en Fri. -
da, April 4 at 9.30 p.m. EDST.
It is a program you should hear.
