daft over censuses and polls and
questionnaires; but nobody has ever
estimated the significance of the
groups who rally for spiritual re-
freshment to the table of the Lord
Yet herein is one of the major in
fluences of civilization.
Old Thomas 'Kempis suggests
that If Holy Communion were ad-
ministered in only one place, and
once a year, there would be an as
tonishing pilgrimage to it. For
this is the high feast of the
Christian faith.
A few days ago I attended a COM
munion service in the old and beau
tiful Independent Presbyterian
Church in Savannah. It observes
the Scottish form, long, linen COW
cred tables being set up in the aisles
and in front Of the high pulpit. At
the close of the sermon, the COM
municants reverently seat them
selves at the tables, heightening the
family effect of the sacrament. The
tears that welled In the eyes OF the
woman opposite me revealed how
deeply moving is the occasion.
I fingered after the service to talk
with friends, and saw the women
busily dismantling the tables I was
forcefully reminded of the unknown
and unrecorded helpers who labor
behind all public ceremonies. We
have no mention Of the persons who
prepared the Last Supper for our
Lord and His disciples They them
selves did not buy or bake the bread
or the paschal lamb. Probably
Mary, the mother of Mark, and her
assistants, were responsible for the
material preparation. The whole
world moves on the labors of count
less housewives, who prepare the
meals that mankind eats.
In secrecy and by pre-arrange-
ment, the Upper Room had been
made ready. The city was full OF
enemies, who were rapidly closing II,
on Jesus. He sought this last quiet
communion with His nearest and
dearest, to fortify Himself for the
ordeal that was so near. How
warmly human, and how tragic,
were His words, with desire have
I desired to eat this passover with
you before I suffer" There spoke
the gry-lieafted human Jesus
craving Fellowship and sympathy
and understanding.
~ LIGHT on n New Faith.
Out of the. plain people Jesus
came, to do His works, speak His
words, live His life. The utter SIM
plicity of His method is fairly stag
gering. He did not formulate a new
creed, or organize a new religion
There were more than three hun
dred religions current in the Roman
Empire of His day; yet He borrowed
nothing from them, and did not take
over any Of their impressive trap
pings. He depended wholly upon
the fidelity of His little group o1
friends to carry on His message and
mission.
