MrV 16:15. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. -The entire period from our Lord'* resurrection to His ascension covers forty days. Th appearance of Christ to the ten on Easter night, took place April 9, A.D. 30. The Ascension took place Thursday, May 18, A.D. 30. !'lcr The appearance to the ten occurred in the Upper Room in Jerusalem; another app^arano 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. Eaiter Nifht 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 had seen him after he was risen." This is Mark's brief account of that which Luke (24:36-43) and John (20:10-25) give with great detail, an episode of Easter Sun- day already dealt with in our last lesson. Some Doubted 16. "But the eleven disciple* went into Galilee, unto the moun- tain where Jesus hail appointed them. 17. And when they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted." Their worship wa. 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- clined than formerly to worship him. The subject of doubt must have been whether this was really their Lord come to life. Chritt't Authority 18. "And Jesus came to them Mid spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and earth." Noth- ing leas than the Divine govern- ment of the whole universe and the Kingdom of Heaven has been itiven to the Risen Lord. The glorified Christ is above every principality and authority and power and dominion, and every name that U named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to conn- It is on the plenti- tude of thin Divine authority that He lays upon His Apostles and His Church His last great charge, and leaves to them His last great promise. The Graat Commioion 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 Apostles. He commits the whole human race to their rare, and they are not to rest until all have been brought in as disciples with them f the one Master. 'To make 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 tlways, 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 16. "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole ereation. 10. He that believcth and \n baptized shall be saved; but he that di.sbelicveth .shall be tondemned." It is interesting lo note that our Ixmi does not say that he who is not baptized shall be condemned, but that he that disbelieveth shall be condemned, while he who bi-lieves and is bap- tized shall be saved. This ap- plies to every living person in the world. Accompanying Sign* 17. "And these signs shall ac- company them that believe: In my name shall they cast out dem- on*: they shall speak with new tx>ngues; 18. they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wisa hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall re- cover." These signs shall follow them that believe. Jesus does not mean that each nf these signs hall manifest itself with ivory LAMBS TAKE CALF'S PLACE AT FESTIVE BOARD Young, but resourceful, motherless twin lambs solve their food problem satisfactorily with the co-operation f an obliging Guernsey cow on a Ilushford, Minn., farm. Whether the calf approve* of the arrangement is something else again. believer, but this miracle with one and that with another. 49. "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 oui until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51. Ami it canu to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them and wag carried up into heaven." II has been suggested by many that man's last view of tlie Lord Jesus is of a Saviour with uplifted hands, in the attitude of bestow- ing a benediction, and that this i the true attitude of the Lord toward humanity ever since He has ascended into heaven and is at the right liami of (iod only that he might bless men. 19. "So then the Lord Je.sus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat 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. 58. and were continu- ally in the temple, blessing God." Our chapter begins with* a pic- ture of two disciples in deep despondency, knowing nothing but disappointment in the death of Christ. The chapter concludes with the disciples convinced of our I.oi'l's resurrection and re- joicing in the temple, blessing God. 20. "And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirm- ing the word, by the signs that followed. Amen." In Matthew Jesus ,M ....i -.-.I to be with them; here Murk says that he mani- fested his presence by 'working with them' and 'confirming the word,' proving its truth and real- ity.

Outlook Is Good For Manitoba Crop The outlook for the Manitoba crop at the opening of the season is good, according to The Winni- peg Free Press; in Saskatchewan it is fair, but in Alberta not o K'>od, for lack of rain in the cent- ral and northern areas. There is a further reduction in wheat acreage in Manitoba this 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 nercent 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 reduction in wheat acre- age, but it looks like five percent. The increase in coarse grains and flax is much leas 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 International 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 pat twenty-three years, has been the greatest agricultural exposition on the N'orth American continent. Apart altogether from the resolv* of the people to prosecute the war to its utmost limit, the prob- lem of the transportation of th huge number of exhibits, exhibi- tors and visitors in this year of war would have been im possible. L.aAt year, in livestock alone, ap- proximately 14,000 animals were moved from thirty-seven States and from some of the provinces of Canada to the Exposition and Show, which attracted a record attendance of 400,000 persons.
