The discontinuance of divisions of
through rates with terminal and So
called industrial lines" which the in
terstate commerce commission has de-
clared to be nothing more than plant
facilities" has had damaging effect
upon at least one Pittsburg line-the
Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal. 1t has not
had a pound of freight from its three
connections since April l, and appears
to be drifting to a point where its
financial and physical rehabilitation
will become an absolute impossibility

completely wrecked.

them, This is my blood of the new
covenant, which is poured out for
many. Verify I say unto you, / shall
no more drink of the fruit of the
vine, until that day when / drink it
new in the kingdom of God"
. "Lest We Forget"
! Every gravestone the world over is
a token Of the universal human desire
to be remembered after death. All
the massive mausoleums that have
survived for ever a few decades, are
eloquent with the same eagerness.
This desire is instructive, and, rightly
expressed, may be an impulse to d.
vinest living and ministry.
The hungry, human heart of the
Savior shared this natural impulse.
He wanted to abide in the memory
OF his friends. His words at the
Last Supper might be translated into
common deathbed phrase, Think of
me when I am gone" This was a
memorial supper first Of all. "This do
in remembrance of me-" Every time
the Lords Supper is spread, it says,
Remember Jesus Christ" We know
that the Christian life flourishes only
to the degree that Jesus abides vivid
ly within 1t.
The Old Erals End.
The climax had come. This was
the hour of remembering. 1t a the
last time that Jesus ever ate a form
al meal with his comrades. He made
this the ceremonial ending of the old
order and relationships. Henceforth
he would no longer be a companion in
the flesh. His earthly work was over.
His last words to the people had been
spoken; there remained only the
intimate message for the fellowship
to be uttered in this DON to the men
who had leaned upon him, learned of
him, followed him, and partaken of
his personality.
Thenceforth Jesus was to be all
this, and more, to his friends, but only
in a spiritual sense. AS this new
supper symbolized. they were hence
forth to partake of his life and to be
sustained by him in the spirit. The
Lords Supper is the abiding token of
Christ's dssire to minister forever to
his own.
Also it is a pledge and a promise
Of the new day when all of his OWL
shall be gathered from everywhere
to eat anew, in the kingdom of heav-
en-, the feast which will then be "the
marriage supper O. the Lamb" The
Last Supper points backward and
forward; upward and inward Always
its objective Is the Master who said,
This do in remembrance of Me-"

A GREAT MEMORIAL.
The International Sunday school
Lesson for October II is 1.-THE Last
Supper"-Mark 14:12-25.
(By William T. Ellis.)

10y WlllIdm l.. ElIlS.)
Painter and poet and preacher have
drawn great pictures of this little
company of men gathered in an upper
room for a Jewish feast, that Vas
later turned into a memorial supper
for the leader who was about to leave
them.
The long and Unreasonable process.
| sions of celebrations of the Lords sup.
per by all races and classes of people,
in every imaginable condition OF
stress and need, met to partake with
their Lord Of this last supper, which
he instituted on the night before he
went forth to die, is a tremendous
theme for contemplation.
He That is About to Die.
The setting of this lesson could not
! be more dramatic. It's remote back
ground Is the three years of public
ministry of Jesus, with all the
an%tagonisms which his u%tterances had
aroused. The near background was
the Jewish Passover. AS true Jews,
Jesus and his disciples kept that feast
in ceremonial fashion.
A large upper oom in the home of
some Jerusalem friends had been Sc
cured for the occasion; and the tend
crest Imagination Of Christendom
often turns to that room, where were
spoken those loving farewells of
Jesus. which have echoed as words Of
comfort through all the centuries
since.
The full company Of twelve were
present with their Master for the
Passover. Then Judas withdrew to
do his dread deed Of avarice. 1t
seemed as if a pail were lifted from
the company when this d%iscordant
personality was removed. Then it
was that Jesus opened his heart, and
in %tenderest, most human and com
radcliffe fashion instituted the Last
Supper, a feast which Judas never
shared.
The rite could hardly be simpler.
The common fiat cakes of bread,
broken by the hand of the Host, and
the common wine shared by all, were
the only elements used.
"And as they were eating, he took
bread, and when he had blessed, he
brake it, and gave to them, and said,
Take ye: this is my body. And he
took a cup, and when he had given
thanks, he gave to them: and they
all drank of it. And he said unto

He ached and he softly cussed. Now
and then he locked over her head al
the landscape beyond. which consisted
mostly of a dead tree and a crow
looking down upon him from one o.
the skeleton limbs. Now and Their
she looked past him at a big frog sit
ting on a low stump in the marsh.
Minutes and hours and days ant
weeks and months and years fec
away, and the girl rose and saunteret
off for her lunch and the aching and
benumbed prisoner was released.
Should he give it up? No! A
thousand times no! If he did he
could never look another girl in the
face.
That night had a full moon, and
while young Richmond slept and
dreamed Of revenge the girls brother
Tom appeared at the pool with a
handsaw and whiled away half an
hours time in a certain performance,
1t must have been satisfactory to him
when finished, for he stood awhile
and grinned ove it. And when he
got home he whispered in his sisters
ear:
W." NSL Z " >ihSoS 49,
row then you can call me a goat"
Instead of being an hour early next
morning, young Richmond was an
hour late. He had planned it SO. So
had the girl. He would find her on the
bank and walk out on that log to
show her that she could go to Texas
with all her Independence. She had
waited half an hour when he appeared.
She had giggled. She had smiled.
She had Uttered. She had tee-heed.
Young Richmond arrives. He passes
the girls brother in hiding. He passes
the girl. With his chin in the air and
a swagger to his shoulders he walked
out on that log as bold as brass. He
had reached the middle of it, when
RIP! CRASH"
Brother Tom had used the saw to
good purpose. The bold young man
had just time to utter three yells when
he was plunged meath the wave, and
a minute later all laughter ceased that
the boy might cry out:
Sister, he can't swim, and he's
adrowning!"
From the way the victim was splut-
tering about it did look like it, but
there was a preSerVer at nand. Inc
girl was in the pool in thirty seconds,
and as she held the mans head up her
brother extended a ishpole for her
to grasp and drew them ashore.
Young Tom, to offset the joke he
had played, fastened for a farmen's
team, and the rescued was conveyed
to a nice, quiet home to get his nerve
back. In due time he got it. In
deed, he became holder than before.
Tom was told how bold he had be-
come, and after a long-drawn whistle
Of surprise he exclaimed:
