With it they were to eat the uuleavened bread of the Divine prom? ises and the bitter herbs of trials and adversities, and withal they were to drink wine, the blood of the grape, symbolically Implying their participa? tion with the Lamb In his ignominy and sufferings.

This Do In Remembrance of Ms** Jesus, about to begin tbe fulfillment of this type by dying as the ami typical Passover Lamb (Christ our Passover is slain for us?1 Corintblana v. 7). insti? tuted for bis followers sn annual re mem bra neer which, in their minds, would take the place of the type and continually remind them of tbe great Antitype. Instead of the literal flesh of tbe lamb, tbe Master used bread, and instead of tbe blood, the fruit of tbe vine, and Instead of a further com? memoration of the type, he directed that this be done in remembrance of tbe antitype?"the Lamb of Clod which taketh away tbe sin of the world.' and the passover coming to the Church of the first-tot. ss precedent to the great blessing r to result for Israel and all the families of tbe earth. Our Lord as a Jew was obligated to keep the typical passover, eating of the literal lamb. etc.. first; hut subsequent? ly, after that passover supper, he in? stituted with the bread and the fruit of the vine his substltutlonary memorial of himself, saying. "Take, eat; this is my body. And he took the cup; and when he hud given thanks, he gaW it to them; and they all drank of it. And he said. * ? * Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day wheu I drink it new in the Kingdom of God* ?until his second coming In power and great glory to receive the Church ss his elect Bride and Joint-Heir in his Kingdom and to shower blessings richly upon Israel and through Israel upon all mankind. Judas, the Selfish Betrayer The hour for the betrayal was draw? ing near. The Master kuew by some power unkuown to us who would be truy him, etc. Breaking the matter to the twelve, he said. "One of you will betray me." Each asked. "Is it I?" Even Judas brazenly challenged tbe Master's knowledge of his deceit? ful course and said, "Is it I?" The answer was, it is as you have said you are the betrayer. The Divine programme was carried out by the traitor, and the Scriptures were ful UM which declare that he should be sold for thirty pieces of silver; but the coincidence marks the Divine fore knowledge without implying that God In any manner Instigated the traitor ous conduct, hence the statement "Wot unto that man by whom the Son of Man Is betrayed'" Prom this stand point we are to understand that then Is no bops for Judas in a future life Ills sorrow and anguish before his fleets' were such as found no com pen sallon in an> huppiness he had enjoy ?ej in previous da.\ I In My Father's Kingdom in giving the disciples the bread, which represented his Bosh, and the cup.
