OLD CUSTOM NEW STYLE All through the time of recorded history it has not been unusual for an orator to get up publicity and propound his views on current uses and abuses. The hitch came after wards; if the opposition became too irritated, the orator might be invited to destroy himself, or even be way laid on the way home. Times have certainly improved. Take the British system of “blow off instead of blow up,” for instance. In the parks it is possible for anyone who can secure a soap box to hold forth on his individual ideas without danger of interference and with any one to listen who wills. This system bids fair to work as long as the supply of soap boxes holds out. Now there has come about the public forum for Americans where each auditor may truly become a contributor to the general discussion. Topics are selected, skilled leaders direct the discussion into construc tive channels, and everybody works together toward a common under standing. This type of forum is practicable in rural districts where several com munities or organizations band to gether. The costs are not prohibi tive.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson (By ItKV. P. B FITZYVATKU. D. LX. Member of Faculty. Moody Blbl* Institute of Chicago.) _©. Western Newsrteper Union. Lesson for December 16 THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LORD'S SUPPER LESSON TEXT—I Corinthians 11: 13-34. GOLDEN TEXT—For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye, do shew the Lord’s death till he come. —I Corinthians 11:26. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Supper Jesus Gave His Friends. JUNIOR TOPIC—How the Lord’s Supper Regan. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP —Why Observe the Lord's SiHH»er? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP 1C—Realizing Christ’s Presence In the Supper. By the Lord’s Supper here Is meant the bread and the wine used as em blems of the broken body and shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some Christians think of the Lord’s Supper ns a meal of fellowship eaten before the institution of the bread and the cup. To them It means the agape or love-feast which was practiced in the early church. Such would prefer to call this the Communion instead of the Lord’s Supper. With this understand ing, we can enter into the real under standing and blessing of the ordinance. I. The Institution of (v. *2.’!). 1. The time, it was on the night of the betrayal of the Lord Jesus, after the betrayer had been announced. *2. Circumstances of (Matt. ‘20:20). j It was in connection with the eating i of the Passover. At the command of Jesus the disciples made ready the Passover, and while they were eating Jesus took bread, blessed it, and gave it to them. 3. The elements used. Bread doubtless common bread of the Bass- ; over feast. The Cup—the fruit of the vine. II. The Significance of (vv. 24-26 Cf. Matt. 20:20-28). Jesus tools natural and literal ele- i ments and made them to be symbols of his own body and blood. 1. It is a memorial of the Lord (Lis. 22:19). When Jesus Christ left the | world, he left tiie bread and the cup for the disciples, by which to remember him. 2. To show the Lord's sacrificial death (v. 20). He did not die as a hero, or as an example of unselfish de votion, but as a substitutionary ran som on the cross he made satisfaction for our sins. 3. It is a guaranty that our sins are forgiven (Rom. 4 :2o). “It was the sig net of the Son of God attached to re demption.” 4. It symbolizes the believer's recep tion of Christ (1 Cor. 10:10). lie there by participates in the body and blood of Christ, becoming a member of bis ! body. 5. It has a forward look to a com pleted redemption (v. 2G). When faith in Christ is exercised, redemption be gins, and its completion will take place at the coming of Christ II Thess. 4:16. 17). The bread and the cup constitute the keepsake of the Lord until he re turns. III. Qualifications for Participation in the Lord’s Supper (vv. 27-29). 1. A proper apprehension of its meaning (v. 27). Eating and drinking unworthily primarily refers not to the demerit of the communicant, but to his failure to grasp the meaning and im portance of the ordinance. Only re generated persons can discern the Lord’s body. Faith In the integrity of Christ’s person and work is essential Anyone who does not believe in the absolute deity of Christ and his vicari ous atonement is an unworthy commu nicant 2. Church membership (1 Cor. 11:18 22). The Lord’s body is the church, which Is composed of regenerated men and women united to Jesus Christ as bead, and to each other as members of that body, by the Holy Spirit 3. An orderly walk. Conduct which disqualifies for participation In the Lord's supper: a. Immorality (1 Cor. 5:1-13). It Is most perilous for one who Is guilty of Immorality to approach the Lord’s ta ble (v. 30). Sickness and death are often visited upon such. b. Heresy (Titus 3:10; 1 John 4:2, 3). This means that one who holds false doctrine Is disqualified for par ticipation in the communion. c. A Schismatic (Rum. 16:17). The one who stirs up party strife, who causes divisions in the church, should be excluded from the Lord’s table. IV. Penalty for Failure to Discern the Lord’s Body (vv. 3034). Approaching the Lord's table un worthily issues In the visitation of sick ness and death upon the individual This seems to be plainly the meaning of "weak and sickly among you. and many sleep.” This explains the Illness of many Christians. The way to es cape the judgment Is to judge our selves. Patience Patience means to stay under the burden." Il is a call to be loyal to the dlHicult task even when there are open doors of escape. It means that the whole man should stay In the hard place—-heart, head and body.
