Great Britain Controls Coal Government Takes Over Mines and Rations Fuel ¥ The British government has tak- en over complete control of the mation"s coal mines and has announced a fuel rationing for homes, businesses and factories to be imposed by July 1 unless there 3 ! fe a sharp voluntary reduction' in : : i the use of fuel Es Retaln Ownership Mine owners aré to retain" own- ership and are to be -pald $266, = $00,000 as compensation, A rationing basis of 840 pounds of coal a year per person was proposed, but it was made clear that any wrationing for heusehold- ers would take into consideration the locality of the hofne -and the number of rooms and occupants. A new minlétry of fuel, light and power was created to con- trol the coal industry and, admin. ister the rationing, and. Major Gwilym Lloyd George, son of the Welsh prime minieter of the last war, was named head of the new ministry and given cabinet rank, Major Lloyd George, who has been parliamentary ,secrétary to the ministry "of food, will not be a member of the "war cabinet."

Mark 16:16, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING ~ Time.--The_ entire period from our Lord's resurrection to His ascension covers forty days. The appearance of Christ to the ten on Easter night, took place April 9, A.D. 80. The Ascension took place Thursday, May 18, A.D. 80, Place.--The appearance to the ten occurred in the Upper Room in Jerusalem; another appearance recorded in our lesson took place on an unnamed mountain in Gali. lee; the Ascension itself took "place from a peak on the Mount of Olives. 'Easter Night 14, "And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven them- selves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbe- lief and hardness of heart, be. cause they believed not them that bad seen him after he was risen." This is Mark's. brief account of that which Luke (24:36-43) and Jom: (20:19-26) give with great detail, an episode of Easter Sun- day already dealt with in our last lesson, 5 Some Doubted "16, "But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the moun. tain where Jesus had -appointea them. 17, And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted." Their worship was not merely homage to a King but probably involved 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. - Apostles, clined than formerly to worship him. The subject of doubt must have been whether this was teplly their Lord come to life. Christ's Authority 18. "And Jesus came 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 js 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 them 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 -He-gemmits-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 mgke 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 man, not to say of a Christian, Hope For Everyone 15. "And he #aid 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." note that our Lord does not say that he who is not baptized shall be condemned, but that he that -- dishelleveth- shall be ; condemned," while he who believes and is bap- tized shall be saved. This ap- plies to every living person in the world. + Accompanying Signs 17, "And these signs shall ae- company them that believe: in my name shall they cast out dem- ona: they shall speak with new tongues; 18, they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any "deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall re. bedi Phese signs shall follow them that believe, Jesus does not mean that oach' of these signs shall manifest itself with every It is interesting to.

"And behold, I send forth promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high, 50. And he led them 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 might bless men. 19. "So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and gat 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. 63, 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 Christ. The chapter concludes with the disciples convinced of our Lord's Tesurrection and re- joicing in the temple, blessing God. . 20. "And they went forth, and preached eyerywhere, 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 fested his presence by 'working with' them' and 'confirming 'the word,' proving its truth and real- ity, © CREATOR OF STARS | HORIZONTAL 1 Famous name in history of the stage. 12 Wall-eyed' pike. 13 Furnished with a sole, 18 Grafted. 17 Slatted box. 18 Century plant: fiber, 19 Duct. . 20 Horse's trappings. 21 Lion's home. 22 Viscous. 24 Woolly. 49 To walk. 50 Beer. 51 Songs for single voices. 27 Small island. 52 Empty. ~30 To think. = 53 Opposite of" 81 Prappings. cold. 32 Flower leaves.

There is a further reduction in wheat - acreage 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 veduction 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 As a result of every available unit of transportation being re- quired for urgent war needs, the Internationul Livestock Exposi- 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 Apart altogether from the resolve of the pcople to prosecut® the war to its utmost limit, 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.
