ORONO WEEKLYTIMES, TIIURSDAY, JULY 18th, 1968 Scripture Lrî-son, - Romans 12' From a sermon preached by The Rev. Basil Long. As preparation for the fellow- ship of the Lord's Supper, let us recali a few of the things that are central in the idea and ti e f act of the meal which Jesus share.d with His disciples, and whicb bas become part of our remembrance. Jesus w;as a Jew. The Jews bad a long history of expoctations. They were a people extremely sensitive to religion. Among them were their great men who were extremely sensitive to the prompt- ings of God. Little by little through the teaching of the pro- phets, many of the Jewish people bogan to look forward to a day when the Messiali would corne and the Jews would be in a place of particular significance. Jesus came. Hue was born into, the religion of the Jews, Judiasm. Jesus came to fulfil the, oxpecta- tions of their prophecies. But be- cause many of the people were immersed in the thinking which accompanies the striving for mat- criai thiligs, they missed the sig- nificaîtce of bis life. Jesus. spent a very short time walking this just a littie section in Palestine. earth. Yes, a very small part of it, Hie gathered around him a very small group of men - men who were very common people - men Who were responsive. Hue poId thjin many things about the Na- ture of God. lue told them thing$ about the significance of lis own life.. Hie told them about the need for bis SACRIFICE, and the PROMISE that would corne through it. They gathered around him - they listoned to His teaching - they loved him. But they didh't unders tand. And so toward the end -of luis Ministry Jesus gather- 'Visit Hamilton, (Continued from page 1) esting and not many of us realized uritil thon how many varietiýs, there are.

While speaking to us Mrs. luolmes expressed ber. hope that we miglit visit their gardons at Leskard. Mr. and Mrs. Les Asiett and Susan having read of our coring visit la the Orono paper, met us at the Rock Gardon Where we on- joyed sayig "hello" to these oid friends. On our homeward -journoy we stopped for suppor in Toronto, re- turning home around 8 p.m. hav- ing had a really worth wliile day. Citizen's Group (Continued from page 1) could use one site for his own use if ho sold bis farm. The objection from t he north- cmr group appeared to centre ar- -ound the fact that no allowance was made lu the Kirby area for residential development. Mr. Butt said there is no place that a teach- or who rnay teach in the Kirby Centennial- School to build a house. Mom bers of the Committee, it -vas pointed out, are continuing to canvas the Township for opin- ions on the zoning by-law. These are to be brouglit before future meetings of the executive and on- tire committee. At the end of the meetissg a mo- ion- byD. Vassderspoot and W. Jaynes was' unanimously passed to the offect that the oxecutive in- vestigate, the formation of a Rate- payers' Association for Clarke Township. Mr. Butt stated that suchi a groaup should ho construc- tive and progressive. ed lus disciples together in the place we know as the Upper Roýom., There, during a meal with them H1e took bread. Hue broke it. Hie toolç wine and Hie pointed out th at the broken bread a!nd the wine wbicb they drank were sym- bols of the, meaning of His life. He instructed them to do this in remembrance of Hlm, When the time carne that Jesus was led awýay to his death, and later when -the disciples discover- ed that the tomb was empty, they were greatly disappointed ahd dis- heartened. Later the fact began to dawn that Jesus was flot; dead, that H1e was alive and spiritually they were experiencing Hum. Soon we read that they began to remember, remember the signifi- cance of the things that Jesus said. And I suppose most of ail, the significance, of that which Hie had shared with them in the last hours of luis life, the brokenx bread and the wine which they -drank. In the early years of the Christ- ian Churcli, belief la-Christ spread quite rapidly. The people who be- carne followers of Christ in the Christian day ýof if e continued to have a specia] rneal together. They had what they called "the love feast." They feit a particular signifi- cahice in the sharing of the bréad and the wine in remembrauce of Christ, and. in thankfulness for what ho had done and what Hie meant to them. This carried on doxvn through, the ýyears of the Christian Church, perhaps beeom- ing more rîtualistie as time went on. Some denominations reading into, it a significance whidh others did flot. But basically it was the rernembrance of what Christ did for the people of his day when Fue walked among men, and in the lives of the people sinco that tirne - people who have become the spiritual sons of Abraham through Christ. And so we share together from time to time the- Lord's Suppor. We have felt rnany things about its, significance. Some, feel that it is somnething which should be experienced ýonly by those who are truly rigliteous. Others feel that if they eat and drink and are not worthy that something harmful wili corne. Just as it was true in the early Christian Churdli so it is today that -some partake of the bread and the wie lightlys, feeling littie of the deep signifi- cance of it, or feeling littie of the commitment that ought to go with it. But for many, perhaps for S iPoECI AL FOR JULY COTTAGE CHEESE SALAD DAYS AT COST Ilsb20e Lb. Pinoapple Cottage Cheese For 32 cents Summer Items LEMONADE V/2 gai.. 39c.
