recent meeting at the basement of
the church last Monday where there
were 105 covers laid and a merry

best of banquets. The object of the

The paschal lamb and its blood are
the prototype cf the Lamb cf God and
the caving power in the blood. The
church at Corinth was recruited from
a cla?n cf men about which Prof. A.

pool, a sink of iniquity, into which
the gocpcl message was cast . . . and
a Chri.-tian church was founded and
f!oi:rii-hod even there! It was one of
the wonders cf hurch history, re
peated many times, and has proven
its supernatural p.wer."
Tre Lord's Supper vas one of the
powerful gejTc!r?s for the regenera

that day a mighty force for the pur

Paul here gives to the church at Cor
inth, he has not learned from ethers
or from hcarray, but wrs a direct
revelation from God. (Gal. 1:11, 12;
I Cor. 15:3).
Ills cpo: tloship is therewith estab
lished. Paul can truthfully say: "I
received from the Lord that which I
delivered unto you." Much depends

giving testimony. When the rite was
