Religion’s Mystery Resides In A Memorial Sacrament Glimpses Os The Hidden Real Life of Men And Women Revealed At The Lord’s Supper— When The Greatest Heart Os All Was Unbared To Friends.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS I — I lead a double lite. So do you. So doos everybody. First, there is the life of the home and th > market place—the clothes we wear, the words we say. the tasks that engross us, our pleasures, and all the superficial Impression wo make upon those whom we meet day by day. That is the life which has a reputation; for “man looketh on Hie outward appearance." But that is nobody's real life. It is only the frame of the picture. One's real life and true personality are expressed in one's thoughts, emotions, value tor a human being an* found in his inner nature the satisfactions ot his spirit All unsuspected by his neighbors every man lives a life apart, in the secret places ot the soul. He may, in the world's estimation, be successful and happy, though all the while the foxes of fear and defeat and misery may be gnawing at his heart. Or he may be regarded light ly by Mrs. Grundy, whose eyes never see beyond the surface of things; and yet. ail the while, the I birds of peace and joy may be sing- : ing in his breast. Write it down as one of the ultimate truths, that success or failure , happiness or discontent, are all within ourselves, beyond the ken of any other person. Into The Upper Room We are introduced into the Upp- , er Room of spiritual reality by this ; Lesson. It penetrates into the Holy ■ of holies of life. For it deals with i tlie sacramental experiences of the Christian at the Lord's Supper; ■ when the worshiper, in loving re- . inembrance, partakes of the soul's food, and enters into communion ' with the very life of the Eternal , whom we know as a loving Father and as a sacrificed Saviour I This is a sacrament ot remem- , brance and of intimacy. The Upper Room is crowded with tenderest i memories. Os the real Upper Room j itself —perhaps in the home of John I Mark’s mother—there is little to lie ■ said. The traditional site, which is shown to tourists, in the southwest corner of Jerusalem, is. of course, not authentic. The old city has been laid waste too many times for the actual building to have survived. I have only once visited the place; | because there is nothing about it to recall the sacred associations of that last night of the Saviors life before the Garden and Calvary, when He held a secret rendezvous with His friends, and opened His bursting heart to them. A Lonely Man’s Yearning Wandering through Europe’s art galleries, a visitor is impressed by the tendency of earlies art to dehumanize Jesus. He was always painted with a nimbus, and His clothes were etherialized to tlie limit of | the artists' ability Later times have rescued Christ from the realm of unreality. We nowadays stress His complete humanity and that He “was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.’ We delight to depict Him, as the lonely, weary, tireless worker, a trained mechanic, a many among men. As we approach tlie incident of the Supper, set in the midst of the best-thumbed passages in the Bible, we are aware of the hearthunger of the Slivior for the companionship and sympathy of the little group of His chosen friends. He provided all the extraordinary precautions for this farewell Passover, in order that the fellowship might not be interrupted by the hounds of hate that were barking dangerously close to His heels. So. when the Passover had been kept after the manner of all good Jews, Jesus established, as a memorial rite, the Last Supper, of symbolical bread and wine. Oh, yes; there is more to it than reminder, a tender keepsake, a token of a dear one gone- But it is that first of all; like a precious home usage transmitted in a family throughout generations. "This do in remembrance of Me.” A Token Os Endless Life Wrapped up in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper is all the mystery of transmitted spiritual power. In partaking of the simple elements »»*«*»»»• * The International Sunday School Lesson for December 16 is:—"The Christian and the Lord's Supiper.”—l Cor. 11:2334.

iof bread and wine, the believing disciple partakes of the very life ot |Christ Himself. Here is food for the soul, a sharing of ail that Jesus was and continues to be- Imagination is stirred by contemplation of all the generations oj Christians — millions upon uncounted millions of Individuals —who, in every land land nation, have, reverently gathered at the Lord's table, to sfeek this sustenance for their spirits, their real selves. My own memory lingers o ver sacramental services in far-separ-ated and strange places—communion on the battlefield; in a tiny native chapel in mid-China; in a mission church in Egypt, amidst the roar of the non-Chrlstian world outside; in a Highland Scotch kirk; in a small room in the Syrian mountains which Jesus Himself knew and loved; and in not a few of tlie city and country churches of Christendom. What a universal hunger this spiritual feast appeases! The best of life is sustained by tlie Bread of Life. Religion is not a matter of rules, but the outward expression of an inner life. Looks Four Ways i Tills marvellous memorial — ’ mightier than any monument or | any cathedral ever built—points in four directions. Frist of all. the ; Eucharist is ' in remembrance of Me." it looks back to Jesus, and jail that He was and taught. Because the Savior wanted His friend I to keep a memorial tryst witli Him, He gave them this rite. And during I the ages the first fnnctiop of the ‘Lord's Supper has been to make 'vivid and tender and devoted, jthoughts of Jesus Christ IHiniself. i.\t His table, His friends meet Him. i Secondly, the feast pointed forward—forward to the cross and to i the sacrifice symbolized by the i wine, the blood poured out; and by Jhe bread, ns representing the (broken body. In the near foreaground. just outside the Upper ; Room, loomed Calvary. Still furthler the sacrament pointed forward to the time, then drawing very near (when Jesus would no longer be with His friends in the flesh; but near them at a perpetual rendezvous at the communion table. This reunion His friends were to keep until He should come again. Then in the third place, the sacrament looked inward. It is love's time of self-examination Too sacred to be partaken ot lightly, tlie act of communion is an awesome tiling. Paul warned against eating the bread or rinking the cup in an unworthy manner, heedlessly, lightly and without regard to the crucified Savior in whose memory it 11 spread. Again, and fourthly, the Lord's Supper not only looks backward and forward and inward, but it also looks upward. It is a pledge of | heaven, when the disciples and the Master will drink the cup together anew in tlie Father’s Kingdom, in sorrow and weakness we may partake now; but some day in fullness of freedom and joy and holiness, we shall sit down at the supper of -the Lamb that was slain. Then our real life, the secret, inner life of ■tlie spirit, will be our only life.
