Yet there is one more that herewith
is respectfully submitted. 1t Is not
really an addition to the list, but rather
a change in a day we already have.
Let us have a forgiving day.
And let 1t be on New Year day.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to com
mence the year by wiping off the slate?
We naturally gather deal of moral
dust and dirt in our twelve-month
journey; why not stop and clean up?
Think of the many grudges, big and
little, that have fastened on you like
barnacles on a ship. Scrape them off.
Why keep them? They only annoy
and impede you, and they certainly do
good to nobody else.
There is the grocer that overcharged
you, the automobile man that lied to
you, the landlord that neglected you,
the telephone girl that was snippy to
you, and the friend that touched you
for ten and hasn't been around since.
Away with them all! Not only for

Ascension of Jesus,

While he was standing with His hands
uplifted. blessing them to remove by
His unspeakable consolation any trace
Of disappointment. regret or cowardice,
without hint or voice. His blessed feet
ceased TO touch the ground. His body
rose with a still. slow and stately
movement into the upper air.
Then suddenly there swept between
them and His ascending form cloud
that shut Him froS their sight 1t was
not the ordinary cloud of vapor, rain
or mist but the cloud of glory. in
descended to earth: that was the Mas
ter's chariot of glory with which He
closed His life among men in the
flesh and entered upon His glory to be
seated upon the throne of the Most
High.
If lie had disappeared from their
eyes He had come by His spirit into
their hearts. so that they longed to see
Him again 1t was while they were
gazing toward the disappearing cloud
messengers. who brought them the
glad tidings that this same Jesus
would come again. Our Lord in
heaven is the same as He was upon
again. the identical Christ. the same
flesh and bones. will return again in
the same manner In which He went
away, when at His ascension He was
lifted to glory.
The appeal to the possibility OF the
Lords return led them to return to the
city and wait for the power from on
high so as to carry out the program of
their risen and ascended Lord for the
evangelization of the world. They re-
turned to the upper room, where they
were Joined by the members of the
family of our Lord. Among those
present at the prayer meeting in the
upper room Luke records the name
Of the blessed mother of our Lord.
whose name does not appear again in
the New Testament records.
The effect of the ascension and the
promise of the power made such an
impression upon them that they wait
ed in prayer for the power needed to
prepare them to do the Masters work
in the world.

Ch.rist's Commands.

COMMANDS.
Christ called for the disciples whom
He had trained for service to wait in
Jerusalem for the promise of the
Father" assuring them that they would
receive power when the Holy Spirit"
came upon them. The day of their
graduation was rapidly approaching.
The Master. under whose instruction
they had for three years considered the
essential truths Of religion. looking at
old faiths in new light and studying
the ancient predictions. whose evident
ful1llment, in current events. had filled
them with perpetual surprise before He
allowed them to go forth into the years
of sacrifice and hardship the Lord in
sisted that they still lacked one thing
that they needed to conquer the world
as His witnesses. They must wait upon
God until after a period of prayer and
meditation they received the spiritual
power they needed to carry out His
plans for the evangelization OF the
world.
Jesus called upon them not only to
be prepared for the task with power
from above. but to carry out the orders
of His great mission that contained
His world policy. His program of world
conquest calls for the evangelization,
enlistment and education of every crea-
ture to do whatsoever the Lord has
commanded. He proposed to start win
ming first the capital city. the very
men that had condemned Him to the
cross; then Judah. his native land. and
then the mongrel nation of Samaria.
and finally the uttermost part of the
world was to hear the gospel message
that He was.risen from the dead. Mis-
sions is still the chief work of the
church. We. too. must do our part
toward winning the capital of our ma
tion. America. the pan-American ma
tions and the uttermost parts of the
world for our Lord and His church.
Without rebuking them for their idle
specu1ations concerning the times and
seasons. Jesus called them by His COM
mands and commission to their duty.
To be witnesses of the Lord Jesus. of
His resurrection and power called
for men to speak and live. as Jesus
did the truth: to reveal to man. as He
did. the Father: ito proclaim the Son
in His passion to be prince and a
Savior to confess Him by the Holy
Ghost as our living Lord. our very life,
when men jeer Or curl learned lips or
pity our credulity,' called for a faith
that could see beyond the mists of
doubt. darkness and despair the reign
ing Christ, whom the apostles saw as
cendiug to glory when He blessed them
on the Mount of Olives.
