TOPIC?Th? Me.m n?r of the Commu
nion Service.
YOUNC 1EOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
?Communion With J(-sua Christ.
I. The Passover Prepared (w. 7-13.)
1. The Pis ipl<?f.' Inquiry (vv.
T'icy inquired of Jesus as to where
they should prepare for the Passover.
They no doubt were anxious to be of
service to llliu.
2. The Muster's F?n?nue Directions
(vv. 10-1"). They vere to go Into the
city where they would meet a man
bearing a pitcher of water. He an
Biirod them that they would then be
shown a large upper room furnished.
3. The Obedience of the Disciples
(v. 13). They did not stop to ques
tion th?' sanity of the command but
like true disciples obeyed. Jesus, be
cause He Is omniscient, knew Just
how the matter would turn out.
11. The Passover Eaten (vv. 14-18).
1. fly Whom (v. 14)? Those who
sat down t<> this last Pnssover feust
were the Master and the Twelve
Apostles.
12. His Words Unto Them (vv.
IB-IS). *
(1) "I hnve desired to eat this pass
over with you before I HuflVr." How
anxious lie wrh to show them the
meaning of the pulsion through which
He wns to go; also lie craved their
human sympathy is He passed
through this trying ordeal.
(2) "I will not any more eat there
of, until H be fulfilled In the kingdom
of God." Ills death was the nntltypl
eni fulfillment of tho passover meal.
He looked forward to that time when
the process of redemption would have
been completed and a perfect union
between the disciples and the Lord
would be consummated.
(3) "Take this cup and divide It
among yourselves." The disciples
were now partaking of that symbol of
Ills blood. He nssured them that He
would not again drink of the .frult of
the vine until the kingdom of God
should come. Drinking anew In the
kingdom does not mean that In heaven
this service will be renewed, but thnt
this was symbolic of the heavenly
reality.
III. The Feast of the New Covenant
Instituted (vv. 10-20).
This topk place at the dose of the
paschal Ripper.
1. The Bread, a Symbol ef Christ's
Bbdy (v. 10). Christ giving of Him
self to them. In order to get benefit
from physical bread It la necessary to
receive It. In order to get benefit
from Christ one must receive Him.
2. The Cup, a Symbol of Christ's
Blood (v. 20). This was symbolic of
the atonement which was made by the
shedding of Ills blood on the cross.
He said: "This cup Is the new tes
tament In My blood which was shed
for you," Indicating that each one
must personally accept the atonement
made by the shedding of Ills blood.
IV. The Wicked Behaviour at the
Feast (vv. 21-27).
1. The Treachery of Judas (vv.
21-23).
(1) The time of Its manifestation
(v. 21). It was while they were eat- j
Ing the Inst pnssover that Jesus made '
the announcement of the betrayal, i
Perhaps the reason why this feast was
disturbed by such an announcement
wns that Judas might be given an op
portunity at this last moment to re
pent.
(2) The betrayal wns by the deter
minate counsel of (Jod (?. 22?cf. Acts
2:23). Nothing takes place by chance.
Eve* the evil, sinful acts of men come
?within the permissive providence of
God. but this docs not lessen the guilt,
for Jesus says: "Woe unto the man
by whom He Is betrayed."
(3) Sorrowful question (?. 23). The
disciples did not seem to suspect one
another, but made the question a per
sonal one.
2. Selfish Ambition of the Disciples
<rv. 24-27). In this trsgtc hour the '
disciples were so concerned wltli the !
thought of honorable position that i
they were striving nmong themselves 1
iu? to who should be greatest.
V. The Apostles' Place In tfte King
dom (vv. 28-30).
He assures them that those who
continue with Him In His trials shall
be appointed unto a place in the king
dom which will entitle them to eat
and drink at His tabls and sit qn '

She Was the Square
Peg
By JOAN M. GRAY
(Copyright.)
ASQUAItB pes will not fit Into n
round hole, as everybody knows,
and that Is probubly the reason why
Margaret Page could not tit luto-the
life her family lived.
When ?he was alone she wondered
why she wis not happy. There was
Beatrice, her older alster, married to a
millionaire and perfectly happy In an
Immense house of her own. There was
Mi ml, her younger sister, perfectly
happy in Just tearing from one gnyety
to another, with nothing on her mind
but clothes and a good time. There
wus her mother, happy in her clubs,
and t*?T? was her father, happy in hla
business and golf, and finally, there
was Peg herself, happier since her
mother had turned the bit; house over
to Iter to manage.
She went to all the parties and tour
naments and did everything the others
did, but she was so quiet that her
"crowd" was almost unconscious of
hrr. Yet the Page house was by far
the most popular place In town, simply
because Peg made It so.
"You're so awfully quiet, Peg." Mlmi
told her, "and you act bored to death.
You can't act bored to death In a
crowd and be popular unless you're a
very great personage."
"Oh. I know Pm not popular," Peg
shrti 'ged. "Hut you certainly are, so
run ulong and let me finish these flow
ers." So Mlmi ran olT to a tennis
match and Peg turned back to her
vases, perfectly huppy to be among
such simple things as (lowers.
"I am bored with this life," she told
herself. "If I could have a pretty, lit
tle house, and a garden, and a garage,
and a car. and one maid. I'd be per
fectly happy. And 1 think I'd like a
husband?not rich, but with enough
money to he Just comfortable. There
aren't any of that kind In our crowd.
How Beatrice can live In that pile of
hers, I do not understand."
She was still thinking of hex ideal
life when she started out toward the
country In search of wild roses. Far
out on the edge of the town she fume
upon The Mouse, white, with green
blinds barely finished, but with a gar
den and planted fields on each side,
and in the roar a garage. She stood
and gazed at the place lovingly.
"Oh. how I covet that," she cried.
"I'm going to walk through that gar
den and peep Into that house. No one
is there, and I've simply got to do It.
I may never have one of ray own."
She walked slowly through the gar
den and peeped Into every peepable
window, completing her tour at the
back.
"Isn't It darling!" she sighed, as she
dropped from her toes.
"Isn't it P' echoed a deep voice be
hind her.
She turned swiftly, covered with con
fusion.
"I hep your pardon," she cried. "I
have absolutely no right to be here."
"I haven't, either, really," the young
man answered, "but J hope to have. A
friend of mine built this for his mother
and she died before they could get It
ready to live in. He cannot live here
without her, and he cannot sell it to
strangers, but Z, a homeless wretch
and his friend, am going to buy it and
live In It nnd keep it sucred to his
mother's memory."
f "Alone?" Peg queried, before she
thought.
"Yes?unless? Would you like to
go through the hcfuse?"
"Oh,* yes," breathed Teg, again be
fore she thought.
"All right, Pogg.v Page," the young
mnu snid, "Just you follow m?i."
"You?yon know my name?"
"Is It likely I wonld forget the name
of the only girl who was ever decent
to me?"
"Why, I?I've never seen you be
fore."
*Ah, bnt you have. It Isn't strange
that you should forget the sickly, pim
ply little lad cnlled Willie Mnrlin.
whose father and mother died and left
him penniless. But I haven't forgotten
the little girl who gave him her favor
ite story book the day he went West
to live with his aunt and little cousin."
"You! Willie Martini But?you've
changed so," cried Peg.
"Haven't I?" he chuckled. "I'm
culled Bill now and my pimples are
gone and I have a little money. Con
sidering ray past, are you going to be
friends with me again. Peggy?" he
asked, his gray eyes tender.
"Of course I am," cried Peg. "You've
?you're so fine. Yon must have had
a very great struggle.'*
"It's over, and I'm much the better
for lt,M he replied. "I have an Idea
that my greatest struggle Is ahead of
me. Now, let's go through the house."
"Let's. But, Willie?I mean Bill?
won't you let me help yon with this j
new struggle?"
"You're the only one who can. Yon
see. I want te marry a girl?a rich
umn's daughter?who Is yged to luxury
?nd frivolity?And Tn not a rich man."
"Oh," said Peg, /faintly. MMaj 1
know her name?"
"P?tt7 Puge Is her name.** he an
swered. "What do you think of my
chancesV
"I think they are very good," said
Peg steadily. "I?won't you come home
to lunch with me and let mother and
dad see how splendid you've grown?"
And that is the way the square peg
found a square hole and fitted Into it
securely. Thut Is how Peggy Page
Martin?ss she was called a year later
?achieved a heart's desire and ruled
supremely over a pretty little house,
a garden, u garage, a car. one maid?
and a big adoring husband.
Positive Proof That
Woman Had Been Poor
She looked rich and acted rich, be
cause she had murried a rich man, yet
at ieast one woman at the tea party,
says a writer In the New York Times,
discovered that she had once been
poor. "Take It from me," she said,
"there was a time, nut so very long
ago. when she was as poor as the rest
of us."
"How did you discover that?" In
quired her neighbor.
"Because she knew where I keep nil
my housekeeping things. She knew
that the tea caddy was in the writing
desk, that the cheese biscuits nnd
other edibles beloved of mice were In
that box under the sofn, that the alco
hol for my stove was In the corner be
hind the wasbstand, that the butter
and milk were on the window ledge
and that the eggs nnd other foods were
In a box on the bottom shelf of the
wardrobe. When we were cooking she
went straight to the spot and got
every one of those things without ask
ing once where they were, which Is
something that a person who had not
kept house in one room could never
have done."
When Barrett Wendell
Was Roused to Anger
For ail his scholarly dignity, Bar
rett Wendell, Harvard professor, now
and then lost his temper and especially
at football games. In his biography,
M. A. DeWolfe Howes recalls an occa
sion when Doctor Wendell and his
daughter were greatly annoyed by an
excited fan directly in front of them,
who kept leaping up and cutting off
their view.
When protests proved of no avail,
Wendell upraised his professorial cane
and brought It crashing down on the
man's lieud, breaking his lint.
A roar of laughter went up from the
delighted students who witnessed the
Incident, increasing when the man
turned around shouting furiously:
"Who did that?"
"I did," replied Wendell calmly.
"Come out and I'll buy you a new
hat."
They exchanged cards and were gone
from the game long enough to make
the necessary purchase.
Sewing Machine Inventor
The father of the modern sewing
machine was Elins Howe, who died in
1807. The patent for his first machine
wns taken out in 1846, and its prin
ciples still form the basis of most mod
ern ones. Howe came from Massachu
setts, and earned his living In a fac
tory for making cotton machinery; but
the honor of Inventing the first sewing
machine Is not entirely American,
since various clumsy machines for
sewing leather nnd stuff had been
evolved previously In England and In
France. Howe visited England, but
only managed to sell his patents for a
bagatelle of $1,250. The descendants
of his machine can do anything from
button-holing and darning to the finest
embroidery.
That Boston Joke
A number of boys were playing
baseball In n vacant lot in Iloston,
when the ball crashed through the
window of an adjacent house. The
wrathful householder stormed out in
pursuit of the guilty ones. He man
ured to capture one spectacled, slow
footed youth.
"I didn't do it, mister! I wasn't
playing with them," the lad panted.
"Then what did you run for?" roared
the Injured man.
"i?I'm afraid that I was a victim
of the prevailing mob hysteria, sir."?

Value of Self-Control
Self-control is self-direction, as well
as self-restraint. The engineer controls
Ids engine not simply by preventing it
fn>m running ofT the track or from
colliding with an obstruction. It is
rather by making it. do the work for
wliich it was constructed and intended
?in pulling the train and getting some
where?that lie establishes his reputa
tion as an efficient engineer. Once
give the boys and girls this positive
side of the matter of s?-if-control and
you net them on the path to develop
ment, of operation and a large measure
of success. I?o not b? a prohibitive
teacher.?Education.

For Umbrella Protection
A well-known business man had a
bad habit of losing umbrellas, and as
" tliey were usually expensive ones, he
hit upon the happy idea of having his
telephone number engraved on the
; hnndle. Since then he lost his um
brella half a dozen times, but o%ving
to the telephone number he ha?J al
ways recovered it. The finder does not
have to send it back; he rings up the
number and the owner gladly calls for
it. If the finder is dishonest he will
not feel comfortable with that tell-tale
number, and if he himself loses It, as
ten to one he will, a more honest per
son will eventually Inform the original
owner. The latter, of course, will know
nothing of the umbrella's adventures.
If only the umbrella could talk I v
You Tell Him t
Johnson had obtained work in a rail
way yard and was told to mark some
trucks.
"Here's a piece of chalk," said tli?
foreman. "Mark each of 'em eleven."
A little later the foreman came
around again to see how the new hand
had been getting on. He found him
sitting on a bucket regarding a truck
thoughtfully. Marked upon it was a/
large 1.
"What does this mean?" asked the
foreman. "Only one truck done, and!
the number wrong at that. I said
eleven, not one."
"I know," said Johnson, "but I
couldn't think on which side of the
T the other '1' goes!"
How to Win a Man
"A man longs for your love until
you have given It to him?after that
not only does he cease to desire your
love, but frequently ceases to love you
also. Moral?Never show hira that
you love him?he'll be much happier
if you don't."
"A man can be clumsy, stupid, ugly
and base, and yet have the eyes of a
beautiful woman follow him adoringly
about a room full of attractive people.
Heaven knows what the explanation

Orthodoxy
The orthodox Jew Is bigoted and
austere. He Is a glutton for pain and
sorrow. He likes to brood and pity
himself. He has no Instinct for the
joy of living and disapproves of such
a trait in other?.
But he does not take life Indifferent
ly; neither is he bumptious about It.
He has strength of character and ie
able to thrive in the face of adversity.
He believes In work. He is seldom a
drunkard and eats with prudence, and
clean food. He Is a man of .iplritual
ideals and a moral man. He loves law
and order and seldom gets into the
criminal class.?Sonya I^evien, ixi
