Place. â€" The first two appearances in this lesson occurred in the city of Jerusalem. The Great Comniis- eion was given somewhere In Gal- ilee. The ascension took place on top of the Mount of Olives near Bethany. 1. And when the sal>bath was past. The Jewish Sabbath was from sunset Friday to sunset Sat- urday, and the events now to be de- scribed occurred during what we should speak o£ as Saturday night. Mary Magdalene. This is she out of whom, long, before this, Jesus had cast seven demons (Luke 8:2)^ and who, with other women, was at' Calvary when Jesus was cruclfled (Mark 15:40,47). And Mary the mother of James. The mother of the two apostles, James and Joses, was also among the women who were near Ihe cross when Jesus waacrucified (Mark 15: 40,47). And Salome. Salome was one of the. women who ministered to Jesus when he was laboring in Galilee (Mark 15: 40, 41). Bought spices, that they might come and anoiut him. Nicodemus had already be- stowed one hundred pounds' weight of spices on the body and tomb, but that was an e.xpression of his love, not theirs; they; must bring their own, the best and the most they can give. 2. And very early on the first day of the week. This would correspond of course, to our Sunday. They come to the tomb when the sun was risen. The Stone Rolled Away 3. And they were saying among themselves. It is certainly clear from this record and all the other Gospel records that neither the wo- men nor any of the disciples had any thought that Jesus had risen from the dead. He told them that he would rise, even told them on what day he would rise; but their foolish hearts refused '-> b-'ieve that wh.it he predicted would come to pass. Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb? In many tombs a groove or trough WHS cut along the front of the tomb to hold the stone, along which It could be lowered to open or cover the entrance. As a rule, this trough was made slightly sloping, so that the 'lowest part would be immediately in front of the aper- ture. It would thus need much inoie strength to move it away from its position than to move It into position. Tf several men would be needed to roll It along under or- diubry circumstances, more would be needed to lift it out of Its soc- ket and then roll it up-hlll to a dis- tBIWJf. <â-  And looking u. , they see that U.0 one is rolled back: for It was exceeding great. The rolling of the â- tone happened after the resurrec- tion. The coming of the angel was for the rolling back of the stone, not that Jesus might pass out of the grave, but to show that he had .cone. Appearance of the Angel 6. And entering into the tomh, they saw a young man sitting on Ihe right side, arrayed in a white robe; and they were amazed. Mark does not hi mself call this person A-C an angel, but Matthew and Luke do. The appearance of that mes- senger answered every purpose that was required in the circumstances. It broke down the obstacle- of the guard; it threw open the tomb to •complete Inspection; and it gave adequate assurance and guidance to the women and the apostles. 6. And he saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye seek Jesus, the Na- zarene, who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not here: be- hold, the place where they laid him! The angel shows a perfect know- ledge, first of the hearts of these women, and then of the meaning of the tremendous events which had occurred during the preceding few. hours. That the body of Christ was not there, every one could see; that Christ had risen from the dead they could not know for a certain- ty until they were told of it, first by the angel, and later by the Lord. The whole transaction is marked with an openness and frankness and sincerity and historicalness which no one can deny. 7. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He goeth before you Into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. This assures them that there would be no breach between their former experiences and the new life on which they were entering. Fear of the Unknown 8. And they went out, and fled from the tomb; tor treinbliug and astonishment had come upou them. The word here translated "aston- ishment" is the Greek word eksta- sis, from which comes our word "ecstasy"; it meant ''a transport of wonder and amazement that carries men out of themselves. And they said nothing to any oue; for they were afraid. They were beholding something that no eyes had ever before seen in human history, something that was above the laws of nature and beyond the achieve- ment of any man or group of men. They were in the presence of om- nipotence, and they knew it. 14. And afterwards he was mani- fested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat. Our Lord ap- peared, according to the records which we have, on five different occasions on the day of his resur- rectiou. And he upbraided them. Heretofore he had only rebuked the apostles, but now it may have been that something sharper than re- buke was necessary to rouse them from the faithless despondency In- to which they had been plunged by the cruclfl.xion. With their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed, not them that had seen him after he was risen. The root of all unbelief is in this heart-stiff- ness that refuses to bend and yield to the proper evidence. Into All The World 15. And he said unto them. Go j'e into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. What then is "the gospel?" It is the good news that the Lord is risen. It we only have the leaching of Jesus, we have no gospel. If we only have the account of his per- fect life, we have no gospel. If we only have the cross, we have no gospel. All these become part of the gospel because of its central truth, which is that of the resur- rection. No human being is shut out from the gospel by Jesus; ab- solutely all are to believe this gos- pel with the one purpose that all are to be saved. The expression reaches to the end of time. If it Is asked how the aspolles could her- ald the gospel that far, the answer is, through the New Testament and the voice of every man who preach- es and teaches the New Testament. 16. He that belleveth and Is bap- tized shall be saved. The ultimate end of Christ's coming. tk« object of preaching the gospel ta that men On Their First Wedding Anniverwury Three orchids were all the Duke of Windsor could lay hands on for a gift to his duchess on their first wedding anniversary. The ducal couple ar'i busy making extensive alterations to the Chateau de la Croe on the French Riviera. They celebrated their anniversary June 3rd at a Riviera hotel. A hasty search of the neighborhood by the duke brought the only three orchids in the district. Br VIRGINIA DALI ^ When Irene Dunne was in New York recently she had what might â-  have been an embarrassing experi- ence. She lunched alone in a smart might believe. Christianity Is the one religion that does not demand that the sinner save himself, but that he permit the Son of God to save him and keep him safe. But he that diabelieveth shall be con- demned. Nothing is said here of those who never hear the gospel, and thus never get either to believe or to disbelieve. The Ascension 19. So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was re- ceived up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. God takes Christ back up into heaven from whence he had come. His sitting down at the right hand of God means, of course, that his work of redemption on earth Is fin- ished, and that he himself is co- equal with God, and has reassum- ed his rightful place at God's right hand. 20. And they went forth. This re- fers primarily to the eleven apos- tles, but also to all those who en- gaged in the proclamation of the gospel • in the apostolic period of church history. And preaqlied ev- erywhere. The Lord working vlth them. Without him we cannot work, and without us he will not; but, together, nothing is impossible. And confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen. Very significantly, this is the only place in all of Mark's Gosii;-! where Jesus is spoken of as the Lord. From now on It becomes the familiar title, together with the name Josus, or the name Christ, or both of them combined, used by the Christian church.

Bad pictures have affected her box-oflSce value, but when she fought for roles that she knew would be good, she did not get them. Now that theatrical producers go to Hollywood when they want to cast new plays, It may be that she will return to the stage when that vacation is over. Here's an odd note on the old. stage-screen battle. "Stage Door" was a very successful play. The movies bought it and made it ove^ â€"threw away the story and star'ed from scratch. Now some of the summer stock companies would like to do the stage version, but one of the authors, Edna Ferber. wont re- lease It to them^ â€" because she feels that the film version was so much better than the original! Next time you see a cobweb on the screen think of the man who is Hollywood's expert cobweb-maker, Jess Wolf. His most recent assign- ment was constructing more than two miles of cobwebs for a castle in Warner Brothers' "Kidnaped." He has a gadget that squirts a rub- ber compound in a tiny I'lriad. Then he weaves the threads Into a cobweb pattern, and sprays them with gray paint. Kay Kyser with his College of Musical Knowledge has a grand program with a really new idea.

Now she's one of radio celebrities, drawing a huge salary for her work on a well- known program. And a lot of girls who sing on local broadcasts made in smaller stations are ever so much better.
