She J ilA' IncJLtKXWI Untow Sunday School I wont Serlptare: Matthew 3:13-17; M:M-28; 28:18-20; Acta 2:38-41; 10:34-48; I CorinUriah* 11:23-38. Davetlaaal R*a4la(; Roman* 0:1-11 In Remembrance Lesson for February 28,1955

THE words printed on this page are not like the things they refer to, they are not the same size, color or shape. Yet every one jfho can read these black marks on white paper is reminded at once of what they stand for. A flag is

not the same color or size as the country; yet every child in school knows what the flag means. So it is with those two simple observances of the Christian church, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Some

churches call these “ordinances”; most call them ••sacraments.” Quarrels over the right way to perform these, quarrels about their precise meaning, make up one of the darkest chapters of church history. Yet In every church these two symbols remain. Christians everywhere share the experience of baptism. If you. reading these lines, are a Christian, then no doubt some time or otyier you have been baptized. Baptism Is the Ceremony of Initiation, the Lord’s Supper is the Ceremony of Remembrance. -Of Hit Death Leaving the quarrels aside, what Is it the church universal believes about the Lord’s Supper? The least that can be said of it is that it is "in remembrance’’ of Christ (For that matter, so to baptism; but there to scarcely, room here to speak of both of these.l* 5 -We remember the death of Christ first of aIL “Ye do show the Lord's death . ” How often Christians have heard those solemn words! For the bread to not neatly sliced, it to broken. The wine is not bottled up, it to poured out Broken bread and poured-out wine take the worshipper back to a certain night in an upper room in Palestine, when around the table 11 anxious men heard for the first time those-im-mortal words, "This to my body, broken for vou This do tn remembrance of me." They taxe us back to the afternoon of the first Good Friday, when upon the stones of the place called » dripped the lifeblood of one who was pouring out his life “a ransom for many.” —Of Hit Coming If the Lord’s Supper to in memory of the past, it is also a reminder of the future. '•Till He Come” — the words are heard at Communion everywhere in the Christian world. What do they mean? The least they can mean to that Christians look forward as wen as back. The world will not go on and on and on forever and ever just the same. The hope of Christians that "the kingdoms of the world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ” will not always be only a hope. Christ has died for men; that to the memory the church keeps alive. Christ will reign over men from a throne of live; that to the hope the church will not give up. Christians have differed and will keep on differing as to just how this hope to going to be fulfilled. But the church believes with all her heart—Christ will win! He to not doomed to lose forever. And every communion gives testimony to this hope—“till he come.” —Of His Living Progress "The churches of the world, more's the pity, are so far from agreeing' about what the communion of our Lord’s Supper means, that even in a great gathering like that of the World Council of Churches, not every one feels free to take communion with all the others. Nevertheless, with all the differences, in every form of the Lord's Supper, in every church, there to the conviction that Christ to more than a memory, more than a hope. He to real; he to here. Clear at the heart of the Christian conviction about the meaning of the Lord's Supper to the feeling that in this simple rite He to really present Across all the centuries he comes to be with those who love him. Past present, future, all unite in the burning moment The open heart receives the unseen Guest, and peace comes as never the world gives peace, to hush the fears and heal the sorrows of the souL Theologians may go on debating as to how it to, how It can be true. But the simple Christian does not need to study many books for some explanation of what in his heart he has learned to true. If some one asks who was at communion this morning, the first thing the remembering heart can say to not, I was there, or my neighbor was there; but—he was there. And he has come home with me’ No matter how right you are, you are wrong if you are unwilling to right the wrong. One needs to be strong to go through life's wash without, shrinking.—Sneed.

CHURCH HEWS Union Chapel “The Value of A Soul" as recorded in Mark 8:27-38, was the message brought by the Rev. William Snider at the Union Chapel church Thursday evening. He stated that thia in a text that should interest everyone, because each one has a soul. “Job asked if man shall live again. Christ answered that question when he said, T am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.* “The soui is spiritual and eternal, in that it lives on. The soul has the ability to think and reflect. It retains its power even though the body decays and returns to mother earth. 'The will of the soul is the faculty that has the power to choose. We can choose our own destiny. The soul has affection in that it loves and understands. The soul has a memory, because it brings back thoughts of the past. The soul has a conscience in that it Judges and pronounces a* verdict on all we do. "The soui is immortal. The evidences of the immortality of the soul are numerous. It cannot improve, but it can expand, in that it lives on and on. Righteousness is not awarded here, nor is wickedness punished here, but in God’s great eternity. “The text tells us that there is a possibility of man losing his soul. It can be lost for loving the pleasures of the world and through carelessness. “The soul was not built tor time, but for eternity. Not built for the lowlands but for the altitudes. Not built for man but for God. “ ‘For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?’ What will you give in exchange for your soul?” Services wil continue the Remainder of the week, beginning each evening at 7:30.

The Beauty Os The Sanctuary By Mrs. J. R. Meadows 'The Lord io in His holy temple." Beautiful words, indeed! We must rightly understand them, for ‘The Most High dwelleth not in houses made with hand.” Private or public worship is not an end in itself, but rather a means toward a harmonious life in God’s service. The beauty of the sanctuary would remind us that it is God’s house, a place of prayer and communion, a place of fellowship where we receive power and inspiration to live a good life. Truly the Lord hears our cry as we meet in our temples in company with all sincere worshipers, many of whom can be with us only in spirit. We experience His divine Presence in Word and sacrament and go forth from the service of worship with renewed faith, hope and love, better prepared to meet the problems and tasks of daily life. “Worn with earth’s unrest, how sweet - In Thy temple fair to meet! There to sing away each sorrow That from life and toil we borrow!” Do your best to be in the sanctuary next Sunday and note the help you receive from the One who has air power.
