PRINTED TEXT, Luke 22: 14-30, GOLDEN TEXT—As often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death tail Fee come, 1 Cor. 11 ; 26. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The bargain of Judas with the newish leaders to betray tate Lord wae entered into on Tues- day, April Otis, A.A. 30. The Lord's Supper took place on Thursday evening, April Gth. Pace,—The bargain with Judas and. the Jewish leaders was made in Jerusalem; the Lord's Supper was observed In an upper room in Jerusalem, though we do not know exactly where this upper room was. /created. The Passover Luke 22: 14. "And when flee hour was come, he sat down, and the. apostles with him." 15, "And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." Christ desired the support of the disciples' fellow- ship for what Iay before him; also, he wished to comfort them with his presence ---if they were assur- ed of his deathless love, they would. ileal comfort when the shock of his death came. 16. "For I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God." The Passover feast was, as we know, a celebration. of Israel's great deliverance from the power and slavery of Egypt. Notice the hope and confidence which Christ here expresses. He knew He would be dead within twenty-four hours, but He also knew He would live again, and, moreover, that, though the disciples would be put to death, they would live again. Until the Kingdom Come 17. "And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves; 18. for 1: say unto you, 1 shall not drink from henceforth et, the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall came." 19, "And lie took b r e a d, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you." Funda- mentally, the bread was broken so that it might be passed around, and partaken of by the disciples. But, of coarse, in breaking a loaf et bread, its unity is destroyed, Just as when a body dies, it dis- I<ntegrates. It has often been point- ed out that broken bread is sym- bolie of death, in five ways: the seed of wheat sown in the ground must first die before a new stalk arises; at harvest the wheat must be cut dawn; for flour to be ob- tained from wheat it must be ground in a mill; for flour to be shade +digestible, it must be baked, mixed with other elements; finally, bread to be eaten must be broken, $f not with the hands, at least with 1be teeth -- five types of death in •a broken loaf of bread. "in Remembrance of Me" "This do in remembrance ot A:e." Literally this should be trans- lated "with. a view to calling to mind, a remembrance of me." Christ is here asking the disciples to remind themselves and others of the redemption he would win, by his death. The death of Jesus was to mean more to His followers than the emancipation Irom slavery in Egypt celebrated by the Passover. The Passover had done its work and served its pure hose, and now it was to give place end make way for the celebration mf the real deliverance of the hu- man race. " "This Cup" 20, "Aral the cup in like manner titer supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, ev- en ven that which is poured out for you." A$ .doses, after reading the ''book of the covenant' in the aud- ienee of the people, had taken tented and sprinkled it on the Vestige, saying, 'Behold the blood an the covenant which the Lord bath made with me concerning ail these things,' so the blood of Christ, to be shed for the sins of His people, was to have a new and deeper purifying iufluence. This new promise or au inward life of new obedience was to be trans- lated out of the,region of promise ;tufa the realin of actual living ex- jlerieuce in the hearts of His people, the new Israel, through the shedding of the blood of Christ, the blood of new covenant or prom - lee, By the precious blood to be loured out next day, we have peace With God. We b.ave cleansing from sin. We are reconciled. Ws,. are irasbed. We are redeemed. The Betrayer 21. "i3ut behold, the band ot hint ielaat betrayeth me is with me on *lie table, 22. For the Son of man indeed goeth, as it hath been de- termined: but woe unto that matt through, whom he is betrayed! O. And they began to quesition among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing, 24. And there, anise also a con- tention among them, which or thotia New Suits Designed For Bombed British Children Three New York children, Dickie Millard (front), Helen Bent and Barbara Devine (wearing gas mask), are shown at New York's city hall as they demonstrated the new type suit designed for British child ren for inclusion in bundles for Britain, The suits are zipper type and leave attached hood.. It takes one second to get into one of these suits ... and time is of the essence when the sirens scream. was accounted to be greatest. 5. And he said unto them, The icings of the Gentiles have lord- ship over them; and they that have authority over them are call- ed Benefactors. 26. But ye shall not be so: but that is the greater among you, let hint become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve, 27. For which is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am in the midst of you as he that serveth." The Divine way to the throne is the way of self - emptying and sacrificial service. In effect Jesus said: T appoint unto you a Kingdom of that sort. 28. "But ye are they that have continued wth me in my tempta- tions; 29. and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father ap- pointed unto me, 80. that ye may. eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israei." Words such as these, full of beauty and truth; carry with them an expression of gratitude, assurance of reward, positive con- viction concerning the certainty. ot the renewal of communion in an- other life with the Lord, and the promise of joy in the Lord's pres- ence, intimate fellowship at home with the Lord. sitting at table, where He is the host. RADIO REPORTER By DAVE ROBBINS I "INFORMATION PLEASE -R" Someone once described Oscar Levant as a "character, who, if he did not exist, could not be imagined" and that, for the wit of NBC's "Information PIease" comes pretty near to being cor- rect. School ended for Oscar when he was still a bashful, inarticu- late lad of fifteen. Being a child piano prodigy, he had the benefit of instructions from top-ranking teachers. But his first job was at the piano in a New York tea garden, because playing popular music was the quickest way to pay for his concert education. Achieving success in the sphere of lighter tunes, he worked his way steadily upward through Ben Bernie's orchestra, the vau- deville stage, musical comedy and fiinally composing, when he wrote a hit called, ''Lady Play Your Mandolin". In the meantime, young Le- vant developed definite agility ese a conversationalist and wit, When "Information Please" be- gan, he was invited to NBC along with John Kieran and Franklin P. Adams. So quickly did he "click" he was made a member of the "Board" to take part on alternate weeks in the programs, which is on NBC red network Friday evenings at 0.30 o'clock.

Sep Patrick And The Holy Flame Here le A Fine Old Irish Legs end of How The Light Came To The Green Isle This is the tale of St, Patrick and the holy flame, as told by dant Pc goen, her whose eyes have not looked upon the blessed sun these twenty years: And this is the way of it. ]n the middle of the world , was a stone once, at the top of the high hill of Tara, The Slopes of the Char- iots led to It from the north, past the banquet hall of the kings, past the well of Finn, on the cath of Queen Maeve. 'Twos a stone like a great jewel, it was, and the old ones say that a man of quiet soul might rest his head there and ]tear ' the earth's. mighty heart beating hotly ferniest his ear. • ,1 bit of a while back, as time goes in Dein, the kings gathered around the stone to worship. They were all kings in Ireland in those days, and their god was Crom, the giver of the fire. Close to the stone stood a ring. of Druids, tall men with gold brooches to their cloaks and gold crowns ou their heads. Then came the Bards, with their harps covered against the night wind. And round about them were the king's, all looking to their Ard- Righ, Leary of the Golden Touoit. A strange man. was Leary, cursed for a year and a day with the pow- er to turn all things to gold, but that is another story, ON THE MOUND OF SLAN.E Itwas a spring evening. Tip came the wind from the sea, blowing softly with the tang .of salt, And in all the land was not a fire on the hearth, for it was the time of darkness proclaimed by the Arch - Druid, to be Iraken only w11en Itis swift messengers snatched a new flame from Crom's altars and ran to carry it home. Darieness was on the hill and over the plains of Meath. The kings stood around the stone, with an eye out for each other though it was the time oe peace. They Waited the coming of the fire, and they would be shuffling their feet, belike, for all the proud hearts in them, not being used to 'waiting. Then in the black night, across on. the mound oe Slane, cavae a Iight that waver- ed and steadied into burning while the altar of Crone was dead. THEY KNEW A BRAVE MAN Proud even they were, terrible in their anger. Their shields rat- tled,, the iron broadswords came out in a flash. Leary himself led them, down from the high hill, swearing by the Sun and. the Wind and ail the lelements to teach this stranger better manners. There was tumult and shouting all over. Tara as the kings came to Slane. There stood St. Patrick himself, serving at his Easter fire and car- ing nothing for their none. "WhishtI" says he gently, "be quiet! 'Tis Easter, slid ye not know?" And he went on with the service as if they had been shad- ows. Leary and his chiefs were bravo men and they knew a brave man when they saw one. They stood quietly, and when the service was ended they stood a bit more while he preached to them in the bright- ness of his fire. Before many days the Arch -Druid himself was bap- tized, and although Leary never surrendered he provided the good saint with. the' fort of Trim, lest any Irishman object to his teach- ing. So the darkness was ended. It's the way the Light came to Irelaud, and that Light has never been quenched to this day.
