SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
'Do This in Remembrance of Me'
STUDY FOR MARCH 18, 1951
By William Southern, Jr.
There is something about the
Communion Service, as we Christ
ians observe it at appropriate
times, which touches the souls of
men and women. No one can take
part sincerely in such a service
and not come away a better man
Df woman. Of recent years the
Christians of the world have ob
served this memorial, instituted by
Jesus himself, at the same hour,
the series of services going around
the world and reaching all Christ
ian countries in that encirclement.
It is splendid when a group of sin
cere Christians take the bread and
wine together, but when we know
that other Christians around the
whole wide worldt are observing
this memorial with us, for the same
purpose and at the same time, it
becomes a memorial which lifts
the souls of the partakers.
When Jesus established the
communion service He said "Do
this in Remembrance of Me" and
changed the Jewish Passover to a
Christian Memorial which we ob
serve and in which we again
pledge ourselves to the memory
Df Him who gave His very life
as a sacrificial pledge to us.
There are four accounts in our
New Testament of the "Last Sup
per" and the establishing of this
memorial for followers of Jesus,
rhe three synoptic gospels each
recite the incident, very much in
the same language. The account
in Mark was probably the first
record to be made in the gospels.
Paul's account, given in a letter to
the Corinthians, was probably
written before the accounts in the
gospels, and in it Paul says it
came to him from Jesus himself.
Curiously enough, in the gospel
according to John, there is no ac
count of the breaking of the bread
and the sipping of the wine as a
memorial. In his account he
emphasizes the "Foot Washing"
and to this day there are groups
Df Christians who emphasize this
instead of our usual method, as
their Memorial.
We have and account which says
that the "Foot Washing" in Rome
was solemnly observed each year
by calling in twelve citizens, dres
sing them in robes and perform
ing the foot washing service for
them as a Memorial. Then the
twelve citizens were given the
robes and the attire furnished
them. ?They never forgot this
grave ceremony.
We have no record of the life o!
Jesus until He was 12, when
under the Jewish law He became
a man. His parents were good
Hebrews and no doubt He was
taken with them every year to
Jerusalem to the Passover. We
have no record of His life then
until He began His ministry but
I think it is a fair conclusion to
say that every year He went
with His parents to every Pass
over. We know that during His
ministry He never missed going
to the great feast at Jerusalem.
The last night of His life He in
stituted the Communion Service
and made it a Christian Memorial
"Do this in Remembrance of Me"
and we follow this in all of our
Communion services Not that it is
necessary in order that we remem
ber the life and death of the
Savior, but to give us a richer,
finer blessing of the faith that
is in us.

the book, "In Our Image." Illustra
tion by Guy Rowe also from the
book.
THE SPIRIT of the Lord God is
upon me; because the Lord hath
anointed me to preach good tid
ings unto the meelc; he hath sent
me to bind up the brokenheart
ed. to proclaim liberty to the cap
lives, and the opening of the prison
o them that are bound; to com
fort all that mourn; to give them
aeauty for ashes, the oil of joy
'or mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness.
There shall come forth a rod out
of the stem of Jesse: and the
spirit of the Lord shall rest upon
him, and shall make him of quit
understanding in the fear of the
Lord. With righteousness shall
ie judge the poor, and reprove
vith equity for the meek of the
?arth. And righteousness shall
be the girdle of his loins, and
aithfulness the girdle of his reins.
The wolf also shall dwell with
he lamb, and the leopard shall lie
town with the kid; and the calf and
he young lion and the fatling to
jether and a little child shall lead
hem. For the earth shall be
Full of knowledge of the Lord,
is the waters covers the sea. And
that root of Jesse shal^ stand for
an ensign of the people; to it
shall the Gentiles seek: and his
rest shall be glorious.
STRENGTHEN YE the weak hands,
and confirm the feeble knees. Say
to them of fearful heart, Fear not:
four God will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind shall
>e opened, and the ears of the
leaf shall be unstopped. Then
ihall the lame man l$ap as an hart,
ind the tongue of the dumb sing:
hey shall obtain joy and gladness,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee
iway.
The voice of them that crieth
in the wilderness. Prepare ye the
?ay of the Lord, make straight
in the desert a highway for our
Sod. Every valley shall be exalted
ind every mountain and hill shall
}e made low: and the crooked
shall be made straight and the
rough places shall be revealed, and
all flesh shall sec it together: for
the Lord hath spoken.
BEHOLD, the Lord God will come
with strung hand, and his arm shall
rule for him: behold his reward
is with him, and his work before
him. He shall feed his flock like a
shepherd: he shall gather the
lambs with his arm, and carry them
in bosom, and shall gently lead
those that with young.

FRIDAY, MARCH 16
. . In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world." (John
16:33.) Read John 16:23 33.
When we realize that we are in
struments in the hands of Christ,
we keep our lives tuned in harmony
with the Lord's will. Thus we may
lead others to join in Christian
service. We cannot play our parts
in a lukewarm manner and expect
to receive the blessings of the great
Redeemer. We are commanded to
"be strong in the Lord, and in the
power of his might. Put on the
whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil,"
In the days of our tribulations
we may be accounted -as sheep for
the slaughter. As long as we
are instruments working in harm
ony with God's laws, however, His
care and guidance will be our help
by which we can overcome evil
wil good.
PRAYER
O Lord God, we know and Thou
knowest that we are compassed
with many trials and tribulations.
Give us the strength and courage
to overcome them, as Thou hast
overcome the world. In the name
of Christ, who died to redeem us.
Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Christ is my strength as I put
forth the effort daily to overcome
evil with good.
