This Do in Remembrance of Me, for
as Oft as Ye Eat This Bread and
Drink This Cup, Ye Do Show the
Lords Death, till He Come"
By Rev. A. F. Boyd

Since Thursday, April 6, A. D. 80,
in the upper room in Jerusalem until
this day, the words of Jesus live in
every regenerated heart for the words,
saith He to His disciples, they are
spirit, and they are life, for it is the
spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profit
eth nothing.
IS Supper being ended He laid aside
His garments, and took a towel, and
girded himself. "After that He pour
eth water into basin, and began to
wash the disciples feet, and wipe them
with the towel wherewith He was
girded.
Then cometh He to Simon Peter;
and Peter saith unto Him, Lord,
,doe'st Thou wash my feet?" Jesus an
swered and said unto him, What
do thou knowest-not now; but ou
shalt know hereafter. H.E2T3g
Peter saith unto Him. Thou shalt
never wash my feet. Jesus answered
him. If / wash thee not, thou hast
no part with me-. Simon Peter saith
unto Him, Lord, not my feet only,
but also my hands, and my head. Je-
sus saith unto him. He that is wash
ed needeth not save to wash his feet,
but is clean every whit; and you are
clean--but not all ''0
r For he knew who should betray
him; therefore, said He, you are not
all clean. ,.gt. -
After announcing. EXPLICITLY that
one of, the twelve was unclean, and
would betray him to his enemies, Je-
sus indicated Judas as the traitor by
dipping piece of unleavened bread
of the Passover into the sauce made
of fruits and vinegar and giving it to
Judas. What thou doest, do quickly,
said He to Judas. Then the traitor
went out straightway and it was
night. Probably, there is no other
statement in the entire Bible more
than the four words with
which the Apostle of love has closed
His account of this fatal departure.
Behind this exit there was in the life
of Judas, a history of low and sordid
ideals of which this exit was the fruit
age. Beyond this departure lay three
l..
things: deed of darkness, moment
of dissolution and remorse, and a des-
tiny ,unspeakable, So Judas Iscariot,
the arch-traitor of history, went out
into the, night, ar r~ -. " =-.'
So, after he had washed their feet,
and had taken His garments, and was
sat again, He said unto them Know.
ye what / have done to you? Ye call
me Master and lord; and ye say we'll;
for so I am If then, your Lord
and Master, have washed your feet; ye
also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I have given you an example, that
re should do as l have done to you:
Verify, verify, | say unto you, The SER
1ant is not greater than his Lord;
neither he that is sent greater than he
hat sent him. : If ye know these things
lappy are, ye,if ye do them,
