SUNDA Y SCHOOL L E SSON LESSON 21 THURSDAY: THE LAST DAY WITH THE DISCIPLES Luke 22:7-38 PRINTED TEXT, Luke 22:14-30 GOLDEN TEXT. Thit do ia remembrance of me. Luke 22:19. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. The Lord's Supper took place on Thursday evening, April 6, A.D. 30. PUee. In an upper room in Jerusalem, the exact location ol which cannot be determined with finality. The Paiiover 14. "And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apos- tles with him. 15. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with <rou before I suffer. 16. For I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the king- dom of God." In spite of the fact that out Lord was fully conscious that within another twenty-four hours He would expire on the cross, with great suffering, everything said by Him at the table m re- lation to Himself, at least, wa* vibrant with hope. In this very sentence, three great facts at least are enunciated: first, that there would be a Kingdom of . . God, which in itself involves the . . defeat of the antagonistic king- doms of this earth; secondly, that such a symbolic act as He was now participating in, relating to sacrifice and redemption, would ultimately be fulfilled, that ia, the time would come when this re- demption He was now about to provide, would have completely accomplished His intended pur- pose; thirdly, that when this time of victory and triumph had fin- ally come to pass, He would be with His disciples, to participate with them in a new supper in the glory of that eternal kingdom. 17. "And he received a cup an when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18. for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God hall come." The cup mentioned In this passage lias been supposed to be the 'third cup' of wine in the Jewish ceremonial. The Lord'* Supper 19. "And he took bread, ana when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, say. ing, This i* my body which U fiven for you: This do in remem- brance of me. 20. And the cap In like manner after supper, say- ing, This cup is the new covenant In my blood, even that which to poured out for you." At bain point we have the actual institu- tion of the Lord's Supper. The bread ie a symbol of our Lord'* body, and the wine a symbol of His precious blood. The bread broken refers to his body given up to death, and the wine poured refers to the shedding of His blood. The phrase 'In remem- brance of me' implies commem- oration of one bodily absent. The body and blood of Christ are given by God not by the priest, taken by faith, not by the hand, eaten with the soul, not with the mouth. The Betrayer 21. "But behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me Is with me on the table. 22. For the Son of man indeed vroobh, as it hath been determined: but woe unto that man through whom he ls betrayed! 23. And they be- gan to question among' them- selves, which of them it was that should do this thing." Particu- larly should ons notice the phrase 'as it hath been determined, 1 and compare it with Acts 2:23; 4:27, 28. The disciples are certainly ig- norant of the fact that Judas was to betray the Lord that night. The text ficems clearly to imply that all the disciples had at least some fear that any one of them might commit such a dreadful sin. The Grealeit 'I'll. "And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be great- est. 25. And tie said unto them, The kings of the Uuntiies hava lordship over them; and they that have authority over them are called B encfactors. 26. But y hall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth erve. 27. For which is greater, he that sitleth at meat, or he that serveth. 28. But ye are they that hath continued with me in my temptations; H8. and 1 ap- point unto you a kingdom; even as my Father appointed unto me. 80. That ye may eat ami drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Example of Jelut Could anything he sadder than, on the one hand, a revelation that one of these twelve men would betray their Lord this night, and, on the other hand, a 'Per Ardua Ad Astra (The acrostic reproduced below was composed by Aircraft- man Francis J. Mott, an Englishman who has lived many years in the United States, and who came to Canada to join the R.C.A.F. in 1940. He is now stationed at the R.C.A.F. Man- ning Depot at Lachine. (A.C. Mott has had the acrostic printed on postcards which he sells for five cents each on behalf of the Red Cross.)

The one speaks of a diabolical hatred for Christ, the other indicates an almost unbe- lievable disinterest in the ap- proaching death of Christ. But Jeanu is no more irritated than U U discouraged. He therefore calmly continues the work which he had begun. In human society, men reign by physical or intel- lectual force. In the new society which Jesus is instituting, He who havs most u not to make His su- periority feit in any other way than by the superabundance of His service* toward the weakest and the most destitute. The ex- ample of Jesus in this respect is to remain a* the rule. Millions of Pins Saved By Britain Britain used 1,500,000,000 fewer pins last year than in 1940, aad there will be several million fewer this year: Already men's: new bliirta have surrendered the dosen pins with which it was the quite unnecessary ritual to fas- ten them up. The steel and brass from which they are made are doing a more important job today. The steel goes Into anything from a hand grenade upwards; ;the brass be- comes anything from a gas mask fitstener to a Bofors cartridge. Hong Kong Camps Getting More Food Latest reports from unofficial sources suggest the position of prisoners in the Hong Kong camps is "somewhat improved and the prisoners are receiving more food although living conditions still remain far from satisfac- tory," Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden told the House of Commons recently. Japan is unwilling to recognize any power as protecting British interests in Japanese-controlled territories but the Argentine, as the power in charge of British in- terests in Japan, "has shown ad- mirable perseverance and has made some progress in its en- deavors on behalf of British pris- oners, for which the British Gov- ernment are sincerely grateful," Mr. Eden said. Britain, the foreign secretary added, has requested the Swiss Government, in charge of British interests in all other enemy-occu- pied countries, to undertake simi- lar duty in Japan for greater uni- formity in war-prisoner dealings. Though continuously pressed to send full lists of British prison- ens, the Japanese have not ful- filled their undertakings. Arrange- ments have been made through the Vatican for local missionary organizations to purchase procur- able supplies for camp distribu- tion. THIS CURIOUS WORLD fS81_ IA /e^Tsr.X AAAgUNE STUDIOS.

One of the recent stories from heroic Malta is of a 17 year old Boy Scout who held a lamp throughout au entire nigbt while men were extricating people from the debris of a bombed building. The lad was killed a short time after when a bomb burst near a house In which he was decorating a room for a children's party. * * A youug Czechoslovflkian Boy Scout who escaped and made his way to England and joined a Scout troop in Windsor. Berk- shire, Is now a King's Scout and Patrol Leader of the troop. * * Gasoline- restrictions on trucks will this year prevent the plant- ing of many thousands of young trees by Ontario's Boy Scouts on reforestation projects in Simcoe aiid Norfolk counties. The plant- ing has been a feature- of the an- imal May 24th Forestry Camps held in those areas. To offset this. Scouts in a number of cen- tres carried out plantings during the Easter holidays. St. Thomas Scouts set out some 15,000 trees in that district, and Stratford Scouts planted 1500 locally and aided farmers in the starting of au additional 1,000. * * A total of 978 applications for medal awards for Boy Scouts, for life saving and other courageous acts, have been dealt with by the Dominion Medal Board of the Boy Scouts Association under the chairmanship of Dr. Francis H. Gisborue of Ottawa since his ap- pointment to the board in 1919. Dr. Gisborne, former Dominion Parliamentary Counsel, recently retired as Honorary Dominion Counsel of the Scout Association, after serving 25 years in that cap- acity. The Hon. Mr. Justice Har- rison, K.C., D.S.O., of Saint John, N.B., was named as Dr. Gisborne's successor at the recent annual meeting of the Scout Association. The latter will continue in the chairmanship of the Dominion Medal Board. RADIO REFORTEB DIALING WITH DAVE. H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, recently appointed President of the Boy Scouts Association of the Empire, in succession to the late Duke of Ccmnaught, was for many years Patron of the Gloucester- shire and Norfolk Scout Associa- tions. A Tyrant's Power The fact is, of course, that a tyrant has power only over men who are afraid to die. If a man really believes in his religion, then he must hold with Saint Paul that "to die is gain", provided he dies in defence of that religion. Quisling can hang the bishops. He might even massacre the clergymen. But what would he gain by it? Only the frenzied detestation of the faithful. Quisling is now facing some thing altogether beyond his con- trol, because his power extends no further than men's fears. Where fear of death ends, there the power of tyranny fails, and it is only the stupid tyrants who permit themselves to pass that limit. Baltimore Sun Nazi Youth From information which reach- es London it can be said that U- boat crews as a whole are good enough material, states The Ot- tawa Journal. This u particu- larl true of the older hands bred up in the tradition of the sea. But the great majority now are youngsters, conceited and imma- ture, their souls corrupted by their training and experience in the Hitler Youth Movement. Bred in the movement since the age of twelve, they shock the older men by their ignorance and manners. When asked his reli- gion, one of them, a prisoner of war, answered as if out of a book: "I have no time for such tomfoolery." Another answered: "My religion ia Germany, which is better thun faith in God, who after all was only a Jewish Je- hovah." These youngsters as a rule do not know anything of naval tra- ditions or history before the pres- ent century, and instead of being sen folk are mostly peasants who expected to serve in the infantry. BORIS KARLOFF Here he is the screen's and radio's master of mystery and the macabre; the horror genius, who is appearing currently in the smash Broadway revival of "Ar- senic and Old Lace" the man who guests this coming Sunday, and on June 7th and 21st on the Sunday night 8.30 Inner Sanctum Mystery Plays. Boris Karloff epitome of all that is the ulti- mate in mystery thrills, whether on the screen or on the air! * * * You probably know them by now for during the past few weeks, the story built around their lives and activities, has un- folded a stirring tribute to the R.C.A.F., the R.A.F. and the men of the United Nations Flying Forces! But in case you haven't, CKOC invites you to meet the Canadian "Crash Wilson" the American '.'States Tucker," the Australian "Cob Fitzgerald," and the Englishman "Bill Bolton;'* they star in the Wednesday night 8.00 o'clock "FLYING FOR FREEDOM" show, dramatizing in thrilling sequences, the life of the men in our Air Forces who are flying for our freedom. The four boys around whose activi- ties much of the story revolves, are interesting, wide-awake men, whose aims, Ideals and actions dovetail perfectly whether on a friendly date on leave, or ia a bomber or fighter squadron over occupied territory. All the thrills, danger and excitement of bomb- ing raids or fighter combat of channel patrol are faithfully dramatized. "FLYING FOB FREEDOM" offers stimulating listening for us all. The show is aired locally over a number of Ontario stations CKOC, Wed- nesday at 8.00 p.m. CFRB, Thursday at 9.30. The I.Q. of quiz contestant* throughout the country does not differ regionally, according to Dr. Harry Hagen, originator of "True or False," the Blue Net- work program heard each Mon- day night at 8.30 over a network of Ontario stations. Texas cow- punchers do as well as Boston Highbrows, and Georgia hillbil- lies have shown as much intelli- gence as Providence intellectuals, Hagen declares, basing his find- ings on scores compiled during the more than three years he has conducted the show coast-to-coast. Much of the fun of the sho*? lies in the originality with which Dr. Hagen pits teams against each other women archery experts against young Indian warriors, being one interesting example. As people all over the country are busy suggesting new teams, Hag- en's fourth year with "True or False 1 ' is developing irany more novel combinations for the in- terest of Ontario listeners in tune with CKCO, CBY, CKOC, CKTB, CFPL, CFCO, CKCR and CJIC. each Monday night at 8.301 Moment* to Remember Someone winning a high-value 'Oscar' Saturday night on Share the Wealth CBC-CKOC 8.301 Jimmie Fidler's open letter, featured each week on his Mon- day 7.00 p.m. Hollywood com- mentary.
