A Lutheran writer links Ascension Day to Christ's ongoing love and guidance. The essay reinterprets Psalm 23 as a continuous shepherd figure from day through night, detailing nourishment water and safety, and ends with the shepherd’s fold as the place of eternal dwelling.
A missionary recounts an American officer telling of a cautious Arab sheik who recovers a stolen belt. The sheik uses a feigned trial with a mule and a scent herb to expose the thief, revealing how superstition aids justice and leaving the mystery to his people.
The article describes peons carrying heavy loads on their heads, local dress, washing practices, and street life in San Juan. It notes housing built around internal courtyards, narrow streets, a guarded prison-cleaned street, and the harbor’s limited depth. It details prices, food, water, and health practices, the governor’s palace, and the Insular Police. It closes with reflections on faith and gratitude during sorrow.
The piece argues that belief in Jesus depends on competent testimony and compares Jesus life death and post resurrection with other historic facts. It discusses the nature of death and the body’s persistence and appearance of resurrection in nature, ending with a devotional tone about Christ's ascension and comfort to believers.
