friends on earth around this festive

The Holy Supper is a monument of
Christ's divinity. 1t speaks of his
life, teachings, death, resurrection, as
cension and kingly reign in glory. 1t
is also a fortress of defence against
the skeptical world; it binds with
bands of love the hearts of all Chris
tians together. Here all are equal,
rich and poor, high and low, all one in
Jesus Christ.
As Americans do not forget Bunker
Hill and Yorktown and the h%andshak-
ing at Gettysburg, SO the Christian
world holds festival together around
the table of its Lord, remembering
Him who gave Himself for lost men,"
Lesson Points.
/. Human nature is pitifully weak
when it fails to take advantage of di-
vine strength.
2. Those who feel secure in their
virtues should remember that fire

8. "a diamond may fall into the
mire but it is a diamond still"
4. IF l could paint a portrait of
Peter, l would write on every hair of
his head, fo%rgivness of sins."-Luther.
5. Jesus is daily wounded by his
professed friends.
6. The Lords Supper is a link be-
tween the Cross and the Glory.
Z. Not money, but the love of mon
ey is the root of all evil.

other American troops have gone
to the assistance of the French
right wing to the east of Rheims.
Again, should the German Amy
blast its way through the de-
lenses to the southwest OF
Rheims and strike to the east or
southeast, as was attempted by
Won KIuck in 1914, the Ameri-
can troops on the line east of
Verdun would be in danger of
having their line of communica-

is not at all likely to happen.
1t is now generally believed that
very little more ground will be

two weeks until the Fourth Liberty

Liberty Bonds.
By the banks taxing the certificates
at each offering, the money goes into
the hands of the Government, it is
