XIV, 70, Now is Christ risen from the
dead" The only way Of peace and JOY
and victory is faith in God, believing
Just what He says and that He means
what lie says. If the women had be-
lieved His words, they would not have
brought spices to anoint dead body on
the third day, but would have looked for
a risen Christ. If the apostles had be-
lieved His words, the report brought to
them Of His resurrection would not have
seemed an idle tale.
LESSON II.-Jesus appears to Mary
John Xxx, 11-1S). Golden Text, Rev. !,
1S, Behold, l am alive for evermore.
Unbelief brings sorrow and tears and
blindness and keeps US from recognizing
the presence of the Lord and makes us
think that it is another when it is Him.
self. Yet He loves His poor, unbeliering
ones and takes them to His heart and
says as He points them to heaven, My
Father and your Father, my God and
your God"
LESSON III.-The walk to Emmaus
Nuke xiv, 1885. Golden Text, Luke
xiv, 80, did not our heart burn within
US while He talked with us by the way?'
Here are still other sorrowful and blind
ed ones because they were slow to be-
lieve all that was written, but Jesus felt
sorry for them, and out Of the Scriptures
told them Of Himself and revealed Him
self to them in the breaking Of bread,
and they also became filled with comfort
and O desire to tell others as He talked
with them.
LESSON IV.-Jesus appears to the apos-
ties John Xxx, 1920. Golden Text,
John Xxx, %, BLESSED are they that have
not seen and yet have believed" Saved
ones gathered in unbelief concerning His
resurrection, but loved by Him and pit
led, and He suddenly appears in their
midst, with the words, peace be unto
you." A week later Thomas, still unbe-
lieving, is present also. and when he sees
he, too believes. and the words of the
golden text are addressed to him and
through him to all doubling, unbelieving
ones. Faith honors God. but unbelief
greatly grieves Him.
LESSON V.-Jesus and Peter John xxi,
1929. Golden Text, John xxi. II, "Lov-
est thou Me!" Sometimes the great
trouble is unbelief, and sometimes it is
self confidence which often develops into
cowardice. Peters threefold denial need
ed the Lords threefold question and
command and exhortation not to think of
nor see others, but Just to follow Jesus
never afar off any more, but henceforth
always fully.
LESSON VI.-The great commission
(Math. xviii, 1920. Golden Text,
Math. xviii. 20, "Lo. I am with you al
WAYS, even unto the end Of the world"
Unless we are grateful enough to Him
for His love to us as to desire above all
things to make Him known to others.
specially to those who never heard OF
Him, we are not loving Him as we
should. All who have received the gospel
have been put in trust with the gospel
for the benefit of those who never heard
it, and we are to speak it not as pleasing
men, but God who trieth our hearts Il

LESSON vIII.-The Holy Spirit given
tActs ii. 1-11). Golden Text, John xvi,
13, when He. the Spirit Of Truth. is
come. He will guide you into all truth" J"
While they were gathered together ex-
pecting from day to day, after ten days
the Spirit came as tongues of hre and
filled each Of them and spake through
them the wonderful works Of God, and as
Peter spoke to them the Spirit convinced
them Of their sin in crucifying Christ and
led 5000 Of them to accept Him as the
Messiah and their Saviour.
LESSON IX.-Jesus our High Priest in
heaven Heb. tx, lila. 24-2S). Golden
Text, Heb. vii, 25, "He ever liyeth to
make intercession." He gave evidence
by the descent Of the Spirit that He was
in heaven. and by the two men in white
appale He had assured them that He
would come again. and in this lesson and
in Rom. viii. 81, we are told what He is
doing in heaven, while His redeemed are
His witnesses on the earth. He is caring
for US and keeping us and is ever before
God for us, and we may continue IN qul-
etness knowing that we are accepted in
Him and He is seeing to all that con-
| Germs us. He in heaven for us, we on
earth for Him.
