Festival In commomerauion of the
ascension Of Christ was celebrated on
Thursday Of the week past. Our Lord
tarried forty days upon earth after
His Easter or Resurrection. Hence,
the fortieth day from Easter has
always been celebrated in reference to
this great event The day is some
times called Holy Thursday" from
the hallowed incident Of the asocn-
sion. And the whole week is called
Expectation Week" because the
Apostles continued in earnest prayer
and expectation Of the Holy Ghost,
whom Our Lord had promised to send.

Church, this celebration and the one
following, Whit Sunday, were pre-
cious seasons, and had their own
special services. They are still de-
voutly observed in all branches of the
Apostolic Church, both the Reform

but that these particular commemora-
tons have wonderfully aided in en-
phasiaiag the great truths of the
Christian Religion, and have deepen

many generations.

ascension most Christian people dis

and ascension to glory of all His
people.

sion is called Expectation Sunday. for
the reason above given, that the
Apostles were to await in Jerusalem
