stitution, but one of a series, the last
of that series for Jesus on earth, and
for the disciples with his visible pres-
ence. It would, therefore, in any case;
have been a particularly memorable
occasion, but it was made more mem-
orable by the solemn, prophetic words
which Jesus .used. Henceforward they
would, when they gathered for their
simple, family sacred meal, give
thanks tq., God, not only for his mer-
cies to Israel and to mankind at large,
but in particular for the sending of
his Son, and for Jesus' death and re-
surrection for them. In future, the
bread and the wine would be ;,o hem
the symbols of Jesus' gift of himself
unto death on their behalf. A simple
Jewish rite of fellowship and thanks-
giving thus became the Christian
Eucharist, or great Thanksgiving for
the gift of Jesus. The elements of
bread ant, wine took on a new mys-
terious significance. The service came
to have both a backward look to the
Last Supper on the betrayal night,
and a forward look to the spiritual
banquet in the kingdom of heaven
when the redeeming work shall be
completed. It was natural that this
service should become the central act;
of Christian worship.
II. THE MEANING OF THE SYMBOL, 22:
14-23.
It is easier to see how the service
originated, and how it developed, then
to know exactly what Jesus said at
the Last Supper. We have accounts
of that Supper in the first three Gos-
pels, and in 1 Jorinthians. In the
fourth Gospel we are given a dis-
course co • Jesus on that last evening,
and the;story.of the foot -washing, but
ne account of the Supper, while the
sacramental teaching of Jesus is con
a.ected with the Feeding of the Five
Thousand. It is not possible quite
satisfactorily to harmonize all these
accounts. In particular it is probable
(but not certain', that we should ex-
cise from Luke's account from the
words "which is given for you" in v.
19 to the end of v. 20. There is :in -
portant manuscript authority for this,
and it is likely that these words were
added in very early days, to bring

Use for Dividing Rod
New hope for the rescue of aval-

often are not found until the Winter's
snows have melted has been found in
the divining rod. A mountaineer of
Traunstein, upper Austria, deeply
moved by some recent avalanche tra-
gedies, has been making a series of
experiments. Objects likely to be car-
ried by every skier, such as a watch,
ring, coins, ski knife and ski foot-
plates, were buried very deep in the
snow, and a "dowser" set out with the
divining rod to search for them. In
each case the rod revealed the location
of the metallic objects. It is believed
that the new discovery will save scores
of lives in the Austrian Alps every
year.
Why Swiss Lakes Are Blue
Travelers long have marveled at
the beautiful azure color of the lakes
in the Tyrolean Alps, and chemical
compounds in the water were general-
ly believed to cause the color. Recent
analysis, however, shows the lakes to
be free from coloring matter. Scien-
tists therefore have decided that the
hue is due to reflection and refraction
of the azure sky in colorless water,
particularly since the azure color
changes to gray as the sun declines,
Other localities do not have the deep-
blue water coloring because they are
not favored with clear blue skies,—
