WAR BONES |
★
The 75-millimeter Rim is a divi
sional weapon used by the Artillery
as an anti-tank Run. It has been
replaced to some extent by the more
modern “105”, known as the heavi
est of divisional weapons. The 75-
mm Run costs $12,000 and has been
converted by our Ordnance hto a
“blaster” twice as efficient as in the
'first World War.

Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for June 14

SUNDAY: THE RISEN CHRIST
AND HIS DISCIPLES
LESSON TEXT—Luke 24:33-48.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ve are witnesses of
these things.—Luke 24:48.
The glory and gladness of the
resurrection morning drove back
the darkness of the tomb and re
placed the disciples’ sadness with
holy gladness. God’s message to
His people is one of assurance and
hope. The night may be dark, but
the dawn will surely come.
Two of Jesus’ disciples had been
walking sadly along the road to Em
maus when suddenly a stranger was
with them, telling them what the
Scriptures taught about the Christ—
His sufferings and His glory. Their
hearts burned strangely within them
(Luke 24;32), but they did not rec
ognize Him until He broke the bread
of their evening meal —and then He
was gone.
But now they had a joyous mes
sage which sent them hurrying back
to Jerusalem to the eleven who had
gathered behind locked doors to
discuss the reports which had also
come to them of His resurrection.
And suddenly—
I. “Jesus Himself Stood in the
Midst” (w. 33-43).
What a blessed and conclusive
confirmation of their report. He,
their beloved Lord and Master, stood
there before them, alive and speak
ing His tender message of “Peace.”
The disciples, however, were be
wildered and slow to believe. Ob
serve how kind and patient He was
with these frightened and unbeliev
ing men. And note what a splen
did testimony it is to the truth of
the resurrection that they who
knew Him best expected proof be
fore they believed.
Before we condemn them for lack
of faith let us ask ourselves if we
would have done better, and let us
be thankful that their hesitation
made assurance doubly sure. He
was really there—alive. Partaking
of food (which He did not need),
and giving them opportunity to
touch His body, He demonstrated
the reality of the resurrection.
He next gave them a sure founda
tion for faith.
11. “Then Opened He Their Un
derstanding” (vv. 44, 45).
This He did that they might “un
derstand the scriptures.” Their
minds had become confused and He
literally “disentangled” them. We
need to have the knots and kinks
taken out of our thinking about
God’s Word. Then wc too will un
derstand.
Dealing with the entire Old Testa
ment (divided by the Hebrews into
law, prophets and psalms), He
thus gave it His endorsement. Men
may deny, but Jesus approved the
Scriptures of the Old Testament—
and we are ready to take His word.
“All things must be fulfilled” is
His statement concerning Him
self. There is our Lord’s guarantee
that the promises of His second
coming, and all that is associated
with it, as well as with His future
reign, will be fulfilled.
This time of fellowship with the
Lord around the Word of God was
strengthening to their faith, but it
had another purpose. The blessings
of God are not for our own satisfac
tion alone, for it is His will that
there be—
111. “Repentance Preached in His
I Name” (vv. 46-48).
j There is a message to go out
through His disciples to all nations
He died for the sins of the world.
He arose for the justification of those
who believe. There is remission of
sin for those who in repentance and
faith turn to Him.
Fellowship with Christ and an un
derstanding of His Word which does
! not result in aggressive witness for
i Him is qpite useless. We meet Him
and study His Word not only that
we may grow in grace, but that
we may be witnesses to all nations.
To be a witness involves knowl
edge of a fact, to the truth of which
the individual can bear testimony.
The disciples were called to be wit
nesses, “not speculators, philoso
phers, moralists or legislators.
1 They had neither to argue nor to
j dissertate, nor to lay down rules for
conduct, nor to ventilate their own
fancies. They were witnesses, and
their business was to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth” (Alexander Maclaren),
The Christian by life possibly
, more than by word is to “adorn the
doctrine of God,” as Paul put it
| (Titus 2; 10), commending it to those
i round about him. Observe that such
a witness is to start right at home,
“beginning at Jerusalem” (v. 47).
It may be difficult in our times
! to send witnesses to distant lands,
: for ships are busy carrying the
; men and implements of war. But
i right in your Jerusalem there is a
spiritual need, in your little town
1 or rural community, in the city
where you live, in your home,
office, shop, or school. You who
read this are in the service of
the country will find a “Jerusalem”
in your camp or on your ship.

NEVER MISSED HIM
After eight years of absence, a
successful business man alighted at
the station of the town of his birth.
There was, despite his expectations,
no one on the platform whom he
knew. No one.
Discouraged, he sought out the
stationmaster, a friend since boy
hood. To him at least he would be
welcome, and he was about to ex
tend a hearty greeting when the sta
tionmaster spoke first.
“Hello, George,” he said. “Goin’
®way?”
HE WHO LAUGHS
Sophomore—You say that like
causes produce like effects, and yet
this fall you had on the sidewalk
this morning made you very angry.
Professor—lt did. What of it?
Sophomore—lt made me laugh.
Can Take It
From small beginnings, the fam
ily row had become a raging storm.
The woman drew a long breath and
addressed her husband.
“You’re crazy, you’re worthless,
you’re shiftless, you’re bad-tem
pered”—she paused for a final ef
fort—“and you’re a thorough liar!”
“Well, my dear,” said hubby, with
a soothing smile, “no man is per
fect.”
Poor Bunny!
The fussy woman was arguing
with the shopkeeper over the pur
chase of a rabbit. After inspecting
several, she said she could not eat
one that had been shot or trapped.
Puzzled as to what she did re
quire, the shopkeeper lost his tem
per, picked up another, and said;
“Here ma’am, have this one — it’s
been frightened to death.”
Compromise
They were settling a number of
preliminary details as young people
will before they take the decisive
step.
“Do you believe in allowances for
married women?” she asked.
"Certainly,” he replied. “I think
a husband should make allowances
for a lot of things.”
GOODY! GOODY!
“Bangor says he is out of politics
for good.”
“For the good of politics—yes.”
Sure Cure
Wifey—Why, Bob, I don’t believe
you have smoked a single one of
those lovely cigars I gave you for
Christmas.
Bob—No, dear, I intend to keep
them until Junior grows up and
wants to learn to smoke.
Bluebeard
Tubby—l’m sorry to have kept
you waiting, Pete, but I’ve been
setting a trap for my wife.
Pete—Good heavens! Whom do
you suspect?
Tubby—A mouse in the kitchen.
By a K.O.
Rufus—l know a man who can
grab Joe Louis right under the chin,
stretch him out and make him like
it.
Goofus —Aw, come off! Who is it?
Rufus—His barber.
A Different Man
“What does this mean, 'Under En
tirely New Management’? That’s
the same old manager there.”
“Yes, sir,” replied the waiter,
“but he’s married now.”
Visibly Impressed
Munhall—Where in the world did
you get that black eye?
Jimmy—l went to a dance and
was struck by the beauty of the
place.
Or Are We?
“I’m sorry, old man, but I make
|it a rule never to lend money. It
| ruins friendship.”
“But why let that worry you? We
i never were what you might call
wonderfully good friends, were we?”
New Frontier
“Now that the North and South
poles have been found, I don’t see
that there is anything left for a
man to discover.”
“How you ever found out your
wife's age?”
