to worship God. There are different ways Christian churches use in worshipping God, and it is rarely that one particular service makes use of one way alone. Hymns are one way. and prayer

is another, and offering is another. But the way of worship which most churches feel to be most sacred is the observance known by the names of Eucharist, Lord’s Supper, Holy Communion. Long Years, Wide Road What is the right spirit of worship? In particular, how can we make the most of Communion? Saint Paul offers us some plain and valuable hints in the letter ha wrote to the church at Corinth. That church needed some plainspoken help, for two reasons. For one thing, the Christian religion was hardly thirty years old. There was no long tradition, no prayerbook, no New Testament to go by. For another thing, many of the Corinthians Christians had been outright papans till recently, and pagans had some very odd notions about how to worship their gods, such as getting drunk in their temples. So Paul had to make some things clear. One is that the worshippers at the Lord’s Table are not alone; there is a tradition behind them, there are hosts of other churches also at worship in this way. We worship best when we are mindful of the whole church of Christ. We ate travelers on a road stretching through two thousand years now, not thirty years only—a road wide enough to take in worshippers from every country in the world. Remembering this, we shall be solemnly grateful that we too can share in this age-old Remembrance of Christ "la Remembrance of Me" I For this Lord’s Supper is a rite of remembrance. How shall we best approach it? To come carelessly, thoughtlessly, is to cut ourselves off from its meaning and its blessing. We should come to it > remembering the One in whose Name it is celebrated. But how shall we remember him? There it j something more here than simple memory. We do not well remem- ! ber a good mother’s birthday by getting drunk, or by polishing off a shady deal, or by being hateful to members of our family. We best remember Washington not by making speeches about him but by being patriots ourselves. So we can best remember Christ not by being suddenly reminded of him by seeing that this is Communion Sunday, not by merely recalling that once such a Man lived and died. We come and worship in his name rightly when we come remembering, and praying for, his’ spirit in our lives. Those who get most out of Communion are usually those who have been keeping closest to their Lord. Remembering Others Protestant churches take seriously another thought in Paul’s lines about the Lord's Supper. That is, that this is not something we can best do alone. There is room for private worship of God, and a necessity for it But there is also room and. necessity for the public worship of God, and the Holy Communion is public, social, communal, corporate, rather than private and individualistic. Ttjat is the way theologians would pht it. For the plain worshipper, the point is this: In coming to this sacred high-point of worship, we shall get the most out of it if we give thought to others not less than to ourselves. We need to remember the Church in whose company this feast is kept. We need to remember the Body—not only the broken body of Christ, but the Church which Paul (in the very next chapter) calls the body of Christ. We need also to remember those who are in need. Most congregations use the Communiontime for special offerings for the poor or .otherwise needy. So again, the right way to approach this hour of worship is to come already in the spirit of unselfishness. It is a poor sort of Christian who has to wait for the Communion service to remind hifn to love his neighbor as himself.
