the ordinance, one n henediction
and the other a thanksgiving. The
symbolism was made perfectly
clear, the bread representing his
crucified body and the wine re-
presenting his covenant blood.
Each element was given to the
disciples by Jesus; he told them
to take it; and they all ate of the
bread and drunk of the wine, omit
ting neither and partaking Of both
in order. Thus the memorial of
his death was established and is
to be kept till he returns and
gives the new feast in the heaven
ly kingdom.

badly during the Passover meal
without attracting the attention

heart since the ancinting on Sat-
urday and with the Infamous bar
gain Of betrayed made or Tuesday
there he sat on Thursday evening
in the apostolic circle at the So

Hence with infinite ache of heart
he told the disciples that he should
be betrayed that one Of his dis
ciples should betray him and that
the hetrayer was actually eating

began their query Of consterna-

Well, National Cotton Week is
being observed May 1873 and
since Negroes have played such
an important part in the Develop
ment of the cotton industry it
might he fitting that this first
column be devoted to it.
The Department Of Agriculture
has Used several publications treat
ing the historical background and
economic significance Of cotton.
The reading of these publications
the fiber and helps one to see
gives one new appreciation of
a remarkable contribution. e.
India, China, Russia, Egypt, and
Brazil grow it in large guam, ities.
Currently the United States pro-
duces annually nearly 100000
of the worlds 100000 bale a
year production.
With the decline of our cotton ex-
port trade, we have developed
many new uses for the fiber and
its by-product, cottonseed. And we
have also made large quantities
of it available to low income FAM
lilies by means Of cotton stamps
and the mattress program. Thru
the former thousands obtained cot
ton material and cotton garments
and through the latter Negro fami-
lies made for themselves nearly
million cotton mattresses. How
ever, with home consumption APP
preaching 12,000,000 bales for
1912, both of these programs have
been terminated.
Negroes should justly h. proud
of the important role they play
in every phase of cotton develop
ment from planting, cultivating

Service Through the Supper. {,
Every true observance Of the
Lords Supper sets forth graph
cally the saving truths of the gos-
pel. How else can We proclaim
the Lords death so accurately and
wildly?
6 Pcrpetuity Of the Supper AS
long as there are churches in the
world with men to be saved from
sin and sustained in the Christian
life, the Lords Supper is to be
kept. 1t spans the period from the
cross to the Second Coming.
7. Hope Beyond the Supper. :.
Keep the ordinance "till he come"
Keep it in hope of the heavenly
feast. Keep it in view Of The glor-
ious yet-to-be when it need not
be kept any more.
Gold in the Golden Text
This do in remembrance of me. .
Luke 22:l9
Through the Lords Supper there
Is the look backward to the atom
ing Christ whose body was brok-
en- and whose blood was shed for
The remission of the race. There
is the look upward to the reigning
Christ who occupies his mediat-
orial throne. There is the look
inward upon the devout soul which
should make itself ready to discern
the Lords body. There is the
look outward which observes the
ordinance publicly in order to show
forth the Lords death. And there
is the look Onward to the con-
summation when the Lord shall
come in power and great glory,

ton were rebuked and instructed.
The scramble for choice seats at
the Last Supper caused Jesus him
self to perform the mental service
of washing the disciples feet. He
served where they shirked and
then taught them the greatness
and glory of service. Workings
look for lordship, aspire to author
ity, and wish to be called Benc-
factors. Christians aim at the
humility of greatness, the primacy
CA service the example of the min
istering Christ. But had not the
apostles continued with the Mas
ter in his tasks and trials? Let
them perscvere, for a kingdom is
appointed them with its banquets
Of plenty and its thrones of pow
er.
