The men in white, whoever they may
have been land it is strain Of the rec
ord to regard them as immortals), simply
declared to the Galilean disciples that
Jesus would come in like manner as they
had beheld him go into heaven. What
they meant would seem to be that the
disciples will yet be favored with the
guiding presence of Jesus.
To predicate of this isolated record the
doctfine that Jesus is yet to come to the
earth in mortal form, is to build wildly
on an exceedingly doubtful foundation.
That there was a parting scene be-
tween Jesus and his disciples is required
by the circumstances. 1t was, as Jesus
foretold, expedient for his disciples that
he should go away. He went, never to
return in material form. But in the
Spirit of Truth he is with his own, and
will be till the contamination of the
ages.

THE RISEN LORD.
Lesson XII.-June FL, 1896.
INTRODUCTION.

That the first disciples did not
believe the first witnesses of the resur-
rection, is an important fact. 1t bears
very distinctly on the worth of their
subsequent conviction. 1t has special
bearing on the most modern form of dis
belief in the resurrection, which pro-
fesses to account for the belief OF the
first disciples on the ground that they
expected Christ to rise, and that they
then persuaded themselves, in all good
faith. that he had risen. That theory is
vulnerable at all points. but one suffi-
Gent answer is: The disciples did not
expect Christ to rise again. and were so
far from it that they did not believe he
had risen when they were told. Their
original unbelief is a strong argument
for the reliableness of their final faith.
What raised them from the stupor of
despair and incredulity? Only one an
swer is reasonable; they at last believed
because they saw. 1t is incredible that
they we're conscious deceivers; for such
lives as they lived, and such gospel as
they preached, never came from liars.
1t is as incredible that they we're uncon-
sciously mistaken; for they were wholly
unprepared for the resurrection, and
sturdily disbelieved all witnesses for it,
till they saw with their own eyes, and
had many infallible proofs.-DR. A. Nc
TARFN
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-06-13

the breaking of bread" is beautiful and
prophetic. Yet in such an exigency
which seems a pivotal point in the
worlds history. the Ten cannot afford to
be credulous. The story of the Emmaus
disciples, as Mark tells us, is by the
other disciples doubted. These I'M
known men, in their estimation, are not
the witnesses on which to base the stu.
pendous assertion that Chist has risen
out of death and still lives among men.
Even Peters testimony, on such an all
important affirmation, is not sufficient.
The story of the Emmaus travellers was
therefore, like the story of the women,
heard with impatient incredulity.
While the friends of Jesus we're thus
in state of anxiety, their mood at times
rising to expectancy, again sinking to
doubt. they became suddenly aware of
presence among them that did not enter
with them through the door.
Nothing, we assume, can more startle
and unnerve ordinary human nature,
than the sudden feeling that a super
natural being is present. 1t causes an
instant sickness, suspension of the nor
NAL action of the heart; it sends tremors
through the nervous system; it sends
cold sweat over the body; it causes tenn
porary paralysis of the powers of reason.
The disciples and their friends SUPP osed
that they were looking at ghost! They
we're terrified. And the calm words of
the Presence, Peace be unto you, had
the natural effect of momentarily in
creasing their fright. The Presence,
with voice like that of their Master
said, Why are ge troubled, and aohy do
questionings arise IN yoatr hearts? They
begin to see. to think, to remember. The
Presence said, See mig hands and ng
feet that it is I myself. They can doubt
no longer. 1t is their Crucifed Lord
He offers himself to their eyes, and their
hands, to prove to them he is not an in
corporal phantom.
Our science does not resolve this mys
terry. We cannot explain how Jesus
could thus become visible and invisible
at will. 1t is easy for us to emphasize
the "skeptical how" But no one who
has thought deeply will believe that the
power of the Eternal or of the i'm mortale
is bounded by our present knowledge.
The fright of the disciples, under this
wondrous revelation. instantly changed
to feverish Joy. They were still unable
to calmly employ their reasoning facul-
ties. They belieUed not for jog. The
Risen One, to give them further proof of
his presence asked, Haze ye here any
thing to eatP And they GAGE him a piece
of broiled fish. And he took 1t and
did eat before them This was to the ten
demonstration of the presence of their
Lord which they could themselves never
doubt. When Peter in the house of the
Roman Cornelius, some months later.

Christian doctrines are Christ cruclfled, wit

from the dead making heaven certain to faith;
sin repented of and forsaken, forgiven and re-

Spirit for quickening of the soul, for clarifying

LESSON STORY.

Two friends of Jesus not of the
Twelve, on the third day after the cruel
fxion, were YEARLY journeying from
Jerusalem homeward to Emmaus. They
we're Joined by an unknown companion,
who inquired for the reason of their
dispirited state. Ga being told that
they we're disheartened because of the
death of Jesus and the failure of their
hope for Israel which had conferred in
the prophet OF Nazareth, the stranger
chided them for being slow to believe
what the Scriptures taught concerning
the Christ, and proved to them that it
beloved the Christ to suffer hardness
and contradiction of men and even the
ignominy of crucifxion, in order that he
might enter into his glory as Saviour.
At Emmaus the stranger, while in the
act of breaking bread, vanished from
the sight of his companions; and they
were Immediately convinced that they
had been walking with the Risen Jesus.
With strange and ravishing Joy they
fastened back to Jerusalem.
L. The Risen Christ RecOg
nized, VS.. 37-43.
When the two wayfarers arrived in
Jerusalem and went directly to the
headquarters of the friends of Jesus
presumably in the same room where the
Last Supper had been instituted,-they
found an assembly comprising ten of
the disciples and other intimate associ-
ates with them; presumably they were
also at supper; and all were in state
of trembling suspense over the reports
which had come to them.
There WAS story, which they can as
yet hardly hear with calmness, that
Jesus appeared in the morning to Mary
Magdalene. There was another story
of his appearing to the Galilean women.
And Peter was giving testimony OF an
interview he had himself had with
the Risen Lord. Marvels succeeded to
each other; what can sane reason be-
lieve?
There were some to counsel natural
doubt. They would save their ecstatic
brethren from an unreasoning fanati-
cism.
And now the Emmaus travellers have
their story TO tell. 1t is passing strange.
That Christ should become known "in

2. The New Gospel is the Fruit
age of the Old,-v 4449.
When the Risen One had Gained the
fright and removed the doubt of his dis
ciples, they were prepared to receive his
instruction.
He showed them that what had trans
pired was in exact accordance with what
he had told them luke 10: 1894 when
he was with them in the mortal state;
also that the events which had so aston
ished and perplexed them fulfilled what
was written of him in the Old Scriptures
He showed them that he foresaw, what
they could not foresee, that his mission
would lead to the cross and the resurrec-
ton.
The Risen One opened their minds
that they understand the Scriptures.
They we're brought into the spiritual at
mosphere out of which the old writings
came. AS Christ himself had seen the
underlying truth hidden in many pass
age of the Old Testament, so were his
disciples, who were now being raised to
his fellowship enabled interpret the
peerless religious literature of their ma
ton. not as being themselves in bondage
to the letter, but as having the life and
freedom of the Spirit.
The import of this instruction was
that the disciples might be competent to
preach the mystery of the Crucified and
Rsen Saviour. Such Gospel would be
a stumbling block to the Jews and fool
ishness to the Greeks; yet it had in it,
as every sincere believer knows, the
power of God for salvation.
In CHRIsT's NAME they we're to preach
| the Gospel to all nations. to bring men to
repentance and remission of sins. In
CHRIsT's NAME the Gospel, beginning at
Jerusalem, was to spread over the world,
and enfold in one brotherhood all man
kind.
Jesus anticipated the pentecostal out
pouring of the Spirit when he said to
his disciples, larry ye IN the city until
! ye be clothed aUith po1cer from on high.
3. The AscensiOn,-vs. 50-53.
Luke passed over the intervening ap
pearances of Jesus and ends his Gospel
by a brief account of the ascension.
Luke's account of the ascension has
been strained by extreme interpretations
, His report is, in brief, that from Jerusa.
lem Jesus led his disciples out to the
Mount of Olives over against Bethany
and while 10 the act of blessing them
was parted from them. The added
clause, and a0as carried up into hedUen
is omitted by some of the ancient author
tiles. The record simply suggests that
Jesus vanished into invisibility.
Luke's second account of the same
occurrence, in the first chapter of Acts,
confirms this Interpretation. As they

cloud received him. To this is added in
