g. Place.
The two returned to Jerusalem. some six 20
seven miles from Emmag5. We cannot state
where the Eleven were assembled We read
| IN 81. Mark, II Is, and St. Like, % - Of a
large upper room. They B.Ey have held pos
session Of that place. In Acts, 1913 We see
| notice again Of an upper room. Perhaps the
same headquarters we're used By the Eleven.
Christ having been dealt with 50 severely, his
Disciples could only expect haTm IL may be
therefore they fOuEd some more retired spot
meeting rather privately.

certed action 10 Of the Apostles assembled on
Sunday evening Or it may be- they we're in
their accustomed room, and not in need Of any
call TO collect. S. Thomas was not present

commonly known as The Twelve, and not
necessarily implying that every one Of them
was always present. On the occasion when
the two reported, some other Disciples were
with the 10 Apostles. They had met 70 coun-
sci with each other and FOR mutual comfort
;. The Tao Disciples
See on lesson last week It is plain from

10: 10, We see the Apostles did not believe them.
This Was not a reflection On their Vcracity, but
simply doubt as 20 the two being correct, i'm
plying they were mistaken, supeTstitiOus, mag
NATIVE or deceived.
Henotlce tina salutation of the two when they
met the Apostles, THE Lord is risen indeed"
We are informed that Christians Of the FIRST
ages were accustomed to greet each other every
Easter morning with this same joyful, exultanE
salute.
