The Lord's Supper Lesson for May 22, J 949 LET US CLEAR UP some very common misunderstandings of what the Christian religion is. Some (both enemies and friends) think It consists In turning one’s back on the world, UvIng in a sort of I happy wonderland ■ • Jfc where the evil of the world is alto- ■ gether shut out and forgotten. Another notion is that »«. * Christianity pre- HB&'ilB cents an angry God Dr. Foreman (or one who can very easily be made angry) laying down the law to mankind. Another is that Christianity is a purely individual affair. And still another is that the Christian religion consists of the teachings of Jesus and that is all it is. Every one of these misunderstandings vanishes in the light that shines around the Lord's Supper. • • • Betrayal PEOPLE SOMETIMES think that religion shuts men's eyes to the ugly realities of life. Some religions try to do so; but not the religion of Christ. He knew the kind of world this is; he never let his disciples forget it. On that last night, dark forces were abroad. Jesus’ enemies were closing in on him. One of his own circle would betray him. Yet it was in that sort of atmosphere, heavy with betrayal and hatred, that Jesus began this sacrament of faith, hope and love. The true Christian does not live in a fool's paradise, he does not imagine that everything is lovely in the nicest of possible worlds. The sacrament which is the heart of his worship is itself a reminder of the ugliness of the world which man's sin creates.

Blessing WIND HE BLESSED the bread fe. . . ” If Christianity consisted mainly of condemning wickedness and denouncing sinners, then at the center of our worship we would have some symbol of dread and awe, like fire and brimstone, a consuming flame. But no — at the heart of our worship is a thing as simple, plain and friendly as a loaf of bread, bread on which the blessing of God has been asked. Blessing, not cursing; Invitation, not threatening, is at the heart of our religion. Whenever you see some one whose chief idea of being a "good Christian" is going around proclaiming the meanness of the world, cawing at everybody and everything. • • • Breaking ND BROKE IT, and gave Artists have tried in a single picture to express the meaning of Christianity. Some of the pictures are be;«itifol, but many of them miss an important truth. What shall it be? A picture of a shipwrecked woman clinging to a rock? Os a saint praying in a long solitary vigil? These leave out something vital For Christianity is a fellowship. No Christian is complete by himself. At the heart of our religion is a Communion. Few if any Protestant churches allow any one even a minister, to give the Holy Communion to himself, by himself. The true Christian never finds himself, his true self, alone; only in fellowship. A Christian belongs with other Christians as rAuch as one coal in a bed of coals belongs with all the rest. • 4 * Blood I ESUS TEACHINGS are so important. so hill of wisdom and of living power, that often some one will say that Jesus was a teacher and only a teacher, and that following his teachings is all that Christianity is. Jesus did not think of it in this way. True, his teaching is es the utmost importance; bnt that was not and is not all. As Middleton Marry said years ago, Jeans was the only teacher who has died fpr his teaching. Bui he did more than that; be died for those be taught. The cup at the Holy Communion reminds every one who partakes of it that Christ was not only a teacher, he was a sacrifice. ■Cwtigni b, u>« InwnMUonal CouaeU of Belieioiu Educanon on boHlt o' W Protestant Cenomu.atwna.
