Place. ----The City of Jerusalem, 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 dad add thogo thi sr thy; BACK-TALK—Lewis gunners prepare to pepper Nazi bomber.

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." 10 EPO TE By DAVE ROBBINS "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. w 0 s HITS OF THE DAY 111 And here's a tip. You should take a ride along harmony high- way on the B -A Band Wagon, with Joe Chrysdale at the wheel.
