latter view are IN three parts. The Catho-
lies claim that in the act of conservation
the bread and vine are changed into the
body and blood. (rransubstantiation) Inc
Lutnerans, one section at least, believe that
the bread and wine remain, but that the
BODY and blood are present. tConsubstan-
tlatlon.) Most Other Protestants use the
bread an. wine as emblems.
AGREED.-These points in dispute are
discussed by theologlans to whose writings
the reader is referred. All parties agree
that Jesus instituted the supper; that il
was substituted for the passover feast:
that 1t was to be observed with two ele-
ments, bread and wine; that it was to con-
tlnue TIL His coming again; that it was de-
signed as a memorial of His atoning death.
rms last is the GROWING feature.
