There is a consensus of opinion among religious observers of both the American and the British armies that the men, especially before ae- | tion, sought the strength of the sac- | rament of the Lord's supper.

It was in the upper | | room of the house of some unnamed | | friend of Jesus in Jerusalem that the last supper was held. The room had been ceremonially prepared for the | passover, according to the Jewish | law. It was with the great de- | sire of the. soldiers about to go over | | the top that the Lord desired to keep | this feast with His friends. | For centuries great controversy | J has raged among the theologians | a te tt tq pn | over the significance of the sacra- | | ment: and views have been cham. | | pioned as different from each other | as those of the Quakers, who contend | | that the communion is wholly spir- | | itual, and so disregard the use of | | bread and wine, to the Catholics, | | Who maintain the doctrine of | | "trans-substantiation," which is | that every time the bread and wine | is administered by the priest it is | actually and literally changed into | the physical body and blood of the | Saviour. l| With these points we are not here { concerned. Whatever else it was, | | We are sure that the last supper was | } & feast of fellowship and memory for | | a8 heart-hungry Man who craved the | | sympathy and remembrance of the | comrades with whom He had come | panied over the flower-decked fields | | of Galilee, and on the lake and and | | the cities and towns of Isreal It] | Was in verity a "last supper" togeth- | er of friends holding a precious, fina} | re-union, beneath the shadow of a | great separation, | All the intimacy of friendship was there. Jesus, the leader of the group, | was pouring out His heart in self- | revelation to those whose under- | standing and loyalty He coveted 3 and He was reaching forth for that | sympathy which even the stoutest | soul craves in its darkest hours. Le: | us not be so overwhelmed by the rfa- jesty and mney of the Eucharist that we shall mifs the present truth | that the Divine Redeemer of the world prized the ties which knit His | life to His human comrades. Christ | {craved closeness with His flesh-and- | } blood disciples, even as He does to- | | day. One even dares to wonder | j what memories the enthroned Chrise| | cherishes to-day of that sacred up- | per room. ! As the Story Stands, To recall the familiar story, in| {modern "phrase, let us quote the | | Weymouth translation of the Les- ison : "When evening came, He was at the table with the twelve disciples, and the meal was proceeding, when Jesus said, * 'In solemn truth I tell that ore lof you will betray me.' | "Intensely grieved, they began ofie after another to ask Him, |" 'Can it.be I, Master?' | * "The one who has dipped his fin- gérs in the bowl with M2,' Yo an- swered, 'is the man who will betray Me. The Son of Man is indeed go- ing as is written concerning Him; but alas for that man by whom the | Son of Man is betrayed ! It had been a happy thing for thay man if he had never been born.' "Then Judas, the-disciple who was betraying Him, asked, . | * 'Can it be I, Rabbi?' | *" 'It is you," He replied. "During the meal Jesus took a Passover biscuit, blessed it and broke He then gave it to the disciplée®" saying, " 'Take this and eat it: it is My body." - "And He took the cup and gave thanks, and gave it to them saylag, " 'Drink from it, all of you ; for this is'my blood which is to be pour ed out for many for the remission of sins--the blood which ratifies the Covenant. [I tell you that I will never again take the produce of the vine till that day when 1 shall drink the new wine with you in my Fath- er's 'Kingdom.' "So théy sang the hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives." The Traitor at the Table. All people seem to have a knack FCZEMA 232 2c, { quest for spiritual satisfaction, the the high hoyrs of Christ's life, and | one of His greatest bequests to the | world. Although treason, and other baser passions, were present at the holy place, we prefer to dwell upon the love and loyalty that were also | there, in far greater force. Judas was there, but eleven true friends were there, too. | Chiefly valuable to us, as we be- | hold Judas, is the question which he | forces us to ask ourselves, "Is it 17" | Every Christian is a possible traitor to His Lord. The best of saints may | fall into the offence of this worst of sinners. Everybody who deals frank- | ly with his own soul knows that in him is the capacity to deny Christ, both by word and by deed. Daily wa must ask ourselves, as the tug of things draws us away from close fel- lowship with "Him Whom having not seen we love," whether we are! disloyal to the Master who died for us and to whose glory our life is | pledged, Pause with me for an in- | stant, and ask the Judas question, | "Lord, is it I?" . i ee The Sybolism of the Sacrifice, | The things that men live by are not the things that are traded in on | Wall street. Unrequited love, do- | mestic unhappiness, the illness of af dear one, spirftual concern or intel- | lectual fortune, Everybody's real | life is lived in the spirit. More or | less consciously, according to spirit- ual development, man's well-being is | a thing within himself, "and measur- ably independent of circumstnces. It is easy to deceive ourselves into believing that our world is engrossed in follies and fashions and in the things of sense. Nevertheless, the | { } | | hunger for God, is'deep and univer- sal to-day. To feed this yearning was one of the reasons why Jesus established the Lord's supper. He gave himself toa world that could finally be con- tent with nothing less. It has been { the experience of rich and poor, | learned and unlettered, in all the Christian centuries, that théy have counted all as nothing if only they | might feed upon Christ. As sang an | unknown poet of the eleventh cen- | tury, i "From the best bliss that earth im- | - parts, > We turn unfilled to Thee dgain_ . - Ld "We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still; t We drink of Thee, the Fountain- | head, And thirst our souls from Thee to | an. We bow in the presence of a Mys- | tery, as we look upon the scene in | the upper room. We cannot under- | stand why or how; but we know | that, as He promised, Christ Himself | is the strength and sustenance of His | friends. His very life, as He sym- | bolized, ts imparted to all who would feast on Him. The Quaker mystic | and the Catholic monk, apd count- less types of Christidfis between, find the same liging Christ to be the bread and wine of their spirits' life, The mystery remains a mystery--but none the less a present reality. | Bishop Heber gathered the signifi- | cance of the sacrament into a few | pregnant words: {: "Bread of the world in mercy | broken, | Wine of the soul in mercy shed, | By Whom the words of life were | spoken, And in whose death our sins are | dead} ~~} "Look on the heart by sorrow | broken, | Look on the teass by sinners shed; | And be Thy feast to us the token | cating liquors into the province be forbidden? 1. S. -2. 3. 4. Nearly all the provinces of the Domin- ion, have voted against the sale of in- toxicating liquors for beverage pur- poses. Five of the provinces have already ap- plied through their legislatures for Dominion legislation prohibiting impor- tation. Federal legislation was granted, subject to referendum. Four provinces have already held such a referendum and carried prohibition of importation. Ontario will vote on this question April 18. Absolute contro! of the distribution of liquor within the province will rest with the people, if the majority vote "Yes" on April 18. Vote-and Vote, Yes" Close the door of Ontario to the traffic in "imported booze" Ontario Referendum Committee 2 Before You Invest, Consult Us A resume of the inquiries we receive and a careful survey of the "Inquiry" columns of the leading financial journals shows that over 75% of investors, first pur securities and then seek opinions regarding them. ' In many cases this is too late. The price at which they purchased does not always represent intrinsic or market value and when an effort is made to convert these securities into cash they discover their mistake. &, When you buy bonds from a reputable house you are assured of not only safety but you are buying a security that can easily be converted into cash at all times with interest payable promptly when due.

This supper in the Jerusalem up- per room, whereat the Jewish pass- over developed into a greater feast, of fuller symbolism, is one which art and literature and philosophy have long tried in vain to express. It is a three-way finger-board, pointing backward sto the historical Jesus, seeking to be held in remembrance by His friends; inward, to the seif- examination and new life' of the spirit; and forward, to the kingdom wherein the Lord will drink the "new wine" with His friends--so new that "eye hath not seen, no ear heard, neither have entered Into the heart of man, the things which God bath prepared for them that love Him . - That triumphant forward look may not be omitted from any considera- | tion, however superficial, of the last supper: This was no mere farewell re« union of a group of comrades, beaten by fate, who "were tg separate, hever to be re-united.
