The two discourses of or,r Lord found In this lesson were- Kiven In the Autumn of A.D. 29. Pentecost waa In the Spring of A.D. 30. Paul's persecution of the Church was previous to the year A D. 35. when he was converted. The First Epistle to the Corinth- ians was written about 59 A.D.; the Enistle to the Galatians, one year before that; the Epistle to he> Eprheslana, 64 A.D. ; the book of Revelation about 95 A.D. Place. The words of our Lord concerning the building of His Church were spoken near Caes- area Phillppl. The later discourse, from Matthew, was given near Capernaum. The events recorded from the book of Acts took place In Jerusalem; the city of Corinth was located in Greece The city of Epfoesus was located In the prov- ince of Asia. Many Believers Baptized 41 "They than that received hi word were baptized; and there wr added unto them In that day about three thousand souls." Tlie Apostle Paul years later. In writ- lnr to the Romans, asked how anyone could call upon the nams of the Lord to be saved except *>*!v believed of whom they bait wrt heard, and how could they near, tmleM someone preached to them. "So belief come-th of hpar- Inr, and hearing by the word of Christ" 42. "And they continued sted- lastlv in the apostles' teacMng and fplTow0)ln, In the breiWTiK of bnyid and the pravers." The Ap- ostle Paul. In statins: the four rrit thine for wMdi the Word rf Cod was nrofltable. placed teachlre first. Unless we have tlin truth about our faith, our fellow- illn rests on false foundations. 43. "And fear came unon every *oul: and many wonders and lirns were done through the up- oetles. 44. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45. And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted tlrm to all, according as any man had need." A far as la known, this communal life was never prat 1 - Uced oi'tsMe. of the city of Jer- nealm. It was not obligator}' on anyone. An Ideal Community 48. "And day by day, continuing tedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness, and singleness of heart. 47. Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved." The believers wwre persevering In dally attend- ance at the temple as a body for public worship. But besides the temnle they had their own places of meeting, or synagogues, such M the upper chamber and Mary's mouse. Here, at home, they path- rd together every evening for the breaking of bread. They par- took of their food both bodily and plrltnally. This they did with joy and singleness of heart, or sincer- ity of character. These represent tb true relation to God and man; the Jnv manifests itself In prals- tag God. and the singleness of keart. shewing Itself In the uu- elflsbness of their common llff, win* favour with all the people. The Ideal life of the community attracted many new adherents. Perfection of Salntt 11. "And he gave some to bs post IPS; ami some, prophets; and lome, evangelists; and some, pas- tors and teachers." 12. "For the perfecting of the saints, unto th work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ.' All belle-vers are the saints of God, but no believer Is made per- fect the hour of his conversion. It will take all the experience of Itfo to complete, and perfect in us God's holy purposes for etu-n of n. IS. "Till we all attain unto the anlty of the> faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, vuto a fullgi-own man, unto the mcas- re of the stature of the fulness f Christ. 14. That we may be no longer children, tossed to ami fro and carried about with every wind f doctrine, by the sleight of men, h> craftinee, after the wllos of error; 15. but speaking trut'i In lore, may grow up In all things nti> him, who Is the head, even Christ." If all believers were ma- lore and perfected, they would all kare the same great faith. This whole passage emphasizes ttte tre- mendous need of teaching our people that In those days of multl- piled errors and subtle heresies, the children of God might not be deceived by wiokod men.

"From whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every Joint upplleth according to the work- ing In due measure of each sev- eral part, maketh the increase of the body unto th building i-.p of Itself In love." The entire body, the Church, by having Its members Joined closely together, and each member in vital contact with the head and source of supply, makes for Itself the Increase, or growth, of the- body.

According to a United Suites Department of Agriculture bulle- tin, duck hawks are the faftest birds reported. "One of these hawks," says the bulletin, "div- ing on its victim flew 165 to 180 miles an hour when timed with a stop watch. Diving at a fock of ducks, at a velocity of nearly 175 miles an hour, an aviator reports that a hawk, presumably a duck hawk, passed him as though the 'plane were standing still and struck one of the ducks." Man has copied the dive idea but has surpassed even the duck hawk in speed, the velocity of his descent being a!most three times as fast.

NEXT: How lone would your balr rrow If It did not fair out* Bernhard Of Netherlands The True Son of An Adopt- ed Land, Says R. P. In the Chrlttl.tn Science Monitor Few men have enhanced their prestige to so short a time- M Prince Bernhard of the Nether- lands. When he became prince con- sort of the Nethevlands..there were some people-, even among the Dutch, who had doubts ae to the wisdom of Princess Juliana's mar- rying a German, and especially one who had h<*>n an officer In Hitler's Schutzstaffel (SS). But the former Prlnoe ru Llpne- Biestprfeld soon proved his loyalty to his new fatherland and (juickly won the. hearts of the Dutch people. His feelings regarding the Germany which had so brutally de- stroyed the freedom of the Neth- erlands were recently expressed In a statement In which / he declared that h f<-lt nothing but bitterness agaJnst the present regime hi his former fatherland and that he re- alized the old Germany he had known would never come back again. Today the prince is an active representative of the Netherlands government In many spheres. He is president of the fund bearing his name, which consists of contri- butions of free Dutchmen through- out the Ne-therlands Empire to- ward winning the war. Already more than 1,200,000 pounds sterl- ing have been received. With, this money 32 bombers have been bought and equipped with Dutch crews and 75 Spitfires presented to the British government. Prince Bernhard Is also ehietf Ha- son officer between the Nether- lands and he British forces. He Is the proud possessor of the wings of the R.A.F. and holds the rajik of air commodore. Recently he has established a reputation as a public speaker. A command of foreign tongues is not unusual in royal families, but the prince's excellent English was much commented upon after a re- cent speech in London. "It might have been that of a young English officer," more than one listener declared. The simple eloquence with, which he spoke of the day when Holland would be free to do the things worthwhile doing un- derlined the fact that Dutch-Brit- ish "community of Interests, cen- turies old, has grown since they join-ed arms against the common enemy." Last year, on June 27th, Dutch people in occupied Holland showed their appreciation of Prince Bern- hard and their determination to remain true to their ideals by ap- pearing with white carnations his favorite flower in their but- tonholes much to the annoyance of the- German invaders. This year, throughout the Netherlands Em- pire, thousands of Dutch people did the same. RADIO REPORTER DIALING WITH DAVE: "Henry! . . .
