both Christian sacraments, baptism
:ind the Lord's Supper have their roots
in and glow out of ceremonies and
instilutions of the Old Testament. The
Pas.-ovei Supper, instituted under
.Moses on the eve of Israel’s redemp
tion from Egyptian bondage, passes
~vei into and helps to Interest the
liOid’s Supper, instituted by Christ in
connection with his last observance
of the passover on the eve of his In
auguration of his exodus by which he
accomplished our redemption through
his death on the cross.
Its Glorious Past
The preciousness of the Lord's Sup
pei lies in its glorious past, that
sacred history of our Lord’s last night
with his disciples in the upper room
it. Jerusalem before he went out to
Oethsemane and on to Calvary. The
Lord’s Supper is fragrant with the
atmosphere of Christ’s great, high
I'll ie.-tly prayer for his disciples and
its his tender farewells to them. The
soil fr< m which sprang this flower of
his grace was enriched with his tears
and blood. His request: “This do in
remembrance of me,” should forever
kt-ep fresh and fragrant in the garden
of our memory the glorious past of
tin- Lord's Supper as his final tryst
of love with his disciples and us. It
is a blessed privilege to share in per.
peiuating a rite thus made sacred by
urh memories and by the added
memories of its Lbservance through
the centuries by "the glorious com-

pany of the apostles, the goodly fel
lowship of the prophets, the noble
army of martyrs and the holy church
throughout all the world.”
Its Glorious Present
But the glory of this sacrament is
not all in the past, tense. It is still
the holy of holies of our religion be
cause of the special promise of our
Lord’s presence with his guests at his
table. St. Paul assures us of this
when, in his interpretation of this last
will and testament of our dying Lord
he expalins the rich request left us
therein, saying “The cup of blessing
which we bless, is it not a commun
ion of th a tolocd of Christ?” The
bread which we break, is it not a com
munion of the body of Christ?” There
is therefore more in the sacrament
than the earthly and visible elements
there is a heaveniy spiritual element
through which we have fellowship
with Christ to the fullest degree he
can make possible.
Its Glorious Future
The glorious future of this sacra
ment is indicated in our lord's words
“I say unto you, I shall not drink
henceforth of this fruit of the vine
until that day when I drink it new
with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
Paul likewise assures the perpetulity
of the sacrament of fellowship with
Christ, saying, “As often as ye eat
this bread and drink the cup, ye pro
claim the Lord’s death till he come.”
Our reverent acceptance of our Lord’s
invitation to his table is one of the
most effective means he has given us
whereby we may broadcast our faith
in the 'breaking of his body and the
shedding of his blood for our sins. We
come to his table as sinners rejoicing
in the fact that our Lord still “re
ceiveth sinners and eateth with them.”

Congressmera’s Mail’ln Such Volume
That Task Os Answering Is Staggering
“Kingfish” Employs
Large Staff But,
Others Can’t
This is the second of five stories
on secretaries to congrssmen— the
persons who hear the brunt of the
mail that now pours in on repre
sentatives and senators.
By RILLA SCHBORDER
Washington, May 25—Have you writ
ten your congressman today?
If you have neglected your task yoti
are out of step with the times, for writ
ing and wiring congressmen has be
come the nation’s favorite pastime.
A load of some 60,000 letters is de
livered daily on the house doorstep.
The senate’s is somewhat greater,
with sharper ups and downs in pro
portion to the national interest in va
rious legislation.
According' to Finis Scott, postmast
er on the house s>de. this session’s
mail is just about twice that of last
year. Jack Gates, senate postmaster,
refuses to commit himself on figures
but agrees the mail is the heaviest in
the history of congress.
Long’s Mail Heaviest
Gates, of course, has to handle the
Huey Long mail, which brings his
total up considerable. Senator Long,
his office declares, receives a daily
mail averaging between 25,000 and 30 -
000 letters. His high was 31,217, a few
days after his March 7 radio "Share
and Wealth” address. Senator Long
has a large staff, but the average
congressman cannot afford to employ
more persons than the meager num
ber for which the government pro
vides.
The average senatorial mail is ap
proximately 1,000 per day for each
senator. A few in the public eye go
far above that figure—but none equals
Iluey Long.
lOn the house side the representa
lives-at-large, elected not by a dis
trict but by the states, receive the
biggest load. Representative Isa
bella Greenway of Arizona, on a re
cent week day received more than
400. She is, of course, “at large,”
her state's sole representative in the
house.
Authorship of a bill in which the
public takes an interest increases the
load for any member. Sam Rayburn
of Texas, who fathered the bill to
regulate the utility bolding compan
ies, has been receiving an average of
1,000 letters a day.
Townsendies “Also Write”
So also did Representative John
Stevens McGroarly of California, ex
newspapermen and sponsor of: the
Townscnd-plan bill. At the peak of
the excitement over the plan his mail
also was around 1,000 a day. It has
dwindled a bit of late but still keps
up in the hundreds.
'Both the Townsend and the Ray
burn bills have done much to fill the
mail sacks of all members of con
gress. Representative Caroline O’Day
of New York, at large and from a
weathy state, received something over
6 000 letters on the second subject.
George Stephan and Ben English,
secretaries to McGroarty and Ray
burn, have to endure a lot of “ribbing”
from fellow secretaries.
Letters on the bonus, despite a pow
erful lobby, have rated a poor sixth
compared to mail on other issues.
When, however, the Vinson and Pat
man bills came before the senate, the
bonus groups wired instead of writ
ing. Following a radio appeal by the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin for the Pat
man bill, some 80,000 telegrams were
received on the senate side. TTndoubt

edly the telegraph barrage had its ef
fect. Both senators and representa
tives are more impressed by wires
than letters.'
Mail in both the house and senate
falls definitely into two classes, “pro
paganda" and personal letters.
Propaganda
Propaganda is easily spotted. Writ
ers use the same phrases and fre
quently the same note paper. This
session the biggest propaganda mail
has easily been on the Rayburn utili
ties’ holding company bill and the
Townsend pension bills.
The 500-odd members of the house
and senate handle this type of mail
in several ways. A few, of course,
ignore it.
If answered at all a “form" reply is
a necessity. The “form" is a multi
graphed or mimeographed statement
of the congressman’s views. Or mere
ly an acknowledgement that the let
ter has been received.
' .-opaganda mail has away of be
ing exceedingly bitter. Writers as-
To Teach Art At
U. N. C.
Francis Speight, of the Pennsylvan
ia Academy of Fine Arts, a native Tar
Heel who has achieved high distinc
tion, is to give courses in arts and
drawings at the University of Nortr
Carolina during the approaching Sum
mer School. Mr. Speight’s courses
here last summer proved especially
popular.
Born near Windsor in 1896, Mr.
Spright was educated in both the pri
vate and public schools of his com
munity, He studied two years at
Wake Forest College, meanwhile tak
ing art lessons at Meredith College.
Later he became* a pupil of the Cor
coran School of Art and the Pennsyl
vania Academy of Fine Arts, Almost
frotn the beginning his work received
national recognition. He is the re
cipient of many awards of distinction.
He sent two of his disciples into-the city
of Jerusalem to find the place for him
to eat the Passover. They were to fol
low a man bearing a pitcher of water.
Where this man lived they would find
the place where they were to prepare the
Passover.
As they were eating Jesus told them
that one of them would betray him. This
troubled them and all asked, “Is it I?”
When Judas asked, “Is it I?” Jesus an
swered, “Thou hast said,” and Judas
arose and went out to sell his Master f«r
thirty pieces of silver.
sume their representative is “agin
’em’’ before they pick up their pens
or tackle their typewriters.
Directors of the Townsend mail
avalanche apparently got wise to this
fact in the middle of their campaign.
Letter writers were instructed to try
to be polite, at least, in writing con
gress. The anti-Rayburn utility bill
people so far haven’t become aware of
this weakness in their approach Then
letters continue to be violent.
Personal Letters
Personal letters present a different
problem. Virtually all congressmen
try to answer them personally. They
may not actualy read the letter or dic
tate the reply but 1 lie writer gets a
personal answer.
Constituents write for help in get
ting jobs, for personal loans, for do
nations to charity, for pictures, for
invitations to the White House and
for appointments to see this or that
“big bug.”
They write for expressions of opin
ion on matters of national and local
importance, and for booklets on every
•subject from raising bullfrogs to ba-
Jiies.* They request help in obtaining
pensions, and in preparing papers for
clubs or classrooms.
Tn the old days some congressmen
boasted that they answered every let
ter tin day it was received.
But the good old days of 50 or 100
letters has passed. Office forces of
two or even five cannot answer seve
ral thousand letters the day the post
boy delivers them at their door.
