WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Impressive Study of Sacrament of Lord's Supper

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 18: The Lord’s Supper; the Meaning of the Communion Service.—Luke 22:14-23. BY WM. E. GILROY, p. D. Editor of The Congregationalist OMMUNION” is a mystic If' I word among Christians. In l * the minds of sincere Christians it expresses the mystic relationship of the soul to Christ and of believers to one another in Him. Where Christians have been joined together in the fellowship of various churches the “sacrament of the Lord’s Supper,” or the “service of communion,” has been the central rite of the church. Also, while each of these “communions” has claimed the validity of its sacrament, and that its communion was the communion of Christ, some of these “communions” have been ever ready to exclude the others. One might well ask, as Paul asked the Corinthians long ago, “Is Christ divided?” In fact, most earnest Christians feel today the reproach of these unholy divisions in Christendom, and many, in their various ways, are endeavoring to establish all these diverse communions into one great Christian family in the name of that Lord and Master whom all profess to love and serve. To Understand It How can we study this lesson so that we may come to larger and better understanding of the meaning of communiork in Christ? What shduld "the Lord’s Supper,” or “the Lord’s Table,” mean for those of us who approach that table in reverence and faith? First of all, note the historio setting. The Lord’s supper in the Christian Church has its origin in this incident described in our lesson —the gathering of Jesus with His disciples in the upper room. Remember that at that “last supper" in the upper room it was a Jewish rite that was being celebrated. Our Lord and the disciples were eating the passover, thus sharing with all Israel the most sacred religious sentiment in commemorating the savings of the nation. This, then, is the first deep element in partaking of communion—in the sharing of the Lord’s supper —a reverent attitude toward all religion, a response to God’s love and providential care. If we enter properly Into the spirit of the communion service it binds us with all the sacred life of the past; it is a "communion of saints” Which links the Christian of today with the great company of prophets,

priests and martyrs. The Lord’s table is surrounded with a sacred host. But. the depths of meaning of the communion service are not all In the past. Jesus definitely linked this communion of the upper room with the fulfillment of the purposes of the Kingdom of God. "I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled In the kingdom of God.” Linked With Death All that Jesus meant by these mystic words may not easily be grasped, but unmistakably it would seem that Jesus was associating this communion with His sacrificial death. Forever In the life of the church it has become thus associated. It is for us a service of remembrance, a calling to mind of the dying of the Lord Jesus, though the disciples apparently found the reference very obscure while that event had not yet come to pass: The full meaning of the Last Supper did not come to them until afterwards. This Supper typified, also, a real communion among those who shared it. Communion in Christ means fellowship with one another. Jesus said as He gave the cup to His disciples: “Take this, and divide it among yourselves.”

The world is very much afraid of communism. Perhaps the world has reason to be ■very much afraid of some forms of communism. Christianity's Purpose But It should never be forgotten that wherever Christian faith and practice have been strong and vital there nas always been a deep communism of mutual hope, help and endeavor. Nor should we ever fall to realize that this is the end and purpose of the Christian life—to build up In the world a kingdom of love, righteousness and truth, where there Is among all men mutual sympathy and help. The Lord’s Table Is the place of love and brotherhood. Hither the unworthy who feel their need of pardon and cleansing may draw nigh in faith and hope. Here those who love their Lord and who long to feel the richness of His power may come in spirit, though earthly "communions” in their narrowness may “excommunicate” and forbid. The Lord’s Table is an enlarged and spiritual sanctuary where all who desire to share in the blessings of His redemption and to live in His spirit are bidden to draw near by faith.

On Sunday, Feb. 15, Dr. Lewis Brown will observe his twen-ty-fifth anniversary as pastor of St. Paul’s Episcopal ChurchNew York and Illinois^Sts. When Dr. Brown became pastor of St. Paul’s the church was known as a neighborhood church, as houses filled the neighborhood. , Now the business district has caused the removal of the homes, but people still come from all parts of the city to worship in this historic church.

St. Paulas is over sixty years old and has figured prominently in the history of the city. “As I approach my twenty-fifth anniversary here,” Dr. Brown said, “I look hack again choose the A ministry as my T ' business world W < to enter the a position in the ' V Bank in Cinciiinati and I was told that I would h a v e had a ' brilliant career ~ ! mained.

have been here has been tremendous,” he told m 6. “Homes surrounded the church when I first came here. Now business houses are on all sides. “The church then was the center of the social life’ of the city. Now outside attractions are demanding attention. The church has a hard time today to hold its proper place. “We administer to a very wide field as families all over the city come to service here. The clergyman today must be a pastor, a preacher, an administrator, a visitor, and must always be at the beck and call of all people.” Dr. Brown contends that a minister is a sort of a spiritual physisician 'as he must be a “cure of souls ” D r - Brown has observed from actual experience that men of today are taking more Interest in church affairs. A visit to St. Paul’s will reveal the fact that bankers, judges, men and women Identified with the social, political, civic and educational life of the city, as well as those from other spheres of activity, are present. Dr. Brown for years has attracted many young people to his church. "Men are more responsive to religion today than women,” Dr. Brown said. “Years ago, women were the larger part of the congregation. This change Is due to the fact that so many women have entered business life and their home life is limited to Sunday.”
