SERVES A BROAD FIELD
Philadelphia "Record" a Newspaper
That Caters to All Classes
• | Every man's vision is as broad as
]taat of the news.a/per he reads. The
■' country newspaper, if he lives in the
' j country, is indispensable to give him a
! clear view of his immediate surround
1, ings; but the city newspaper is its
• equally indispensable complement. No
1 man can be well-posted nowadays nn
, '.ess he keejn an eye on what the whole
1 i world is doing. Therefore he needs
. bi-foeal newspaper glasses—the home
, newspaper for the little world around
ijhim. the city newspaper for the big
' work! beyond its sphere of service.
Tho Philadelphia ' • Record" is a
; world-iiewspajer. Its service extends to
• every quarter of the globe. Its repre
sentatives are in every foreign capital;
its live wires connect with every city,
i town and hamlet in forty-eight States.
Its business is to gather in the world's
j history day by day; to sift it, discard
■ ;ng the chaff; to boil down and con
| dense the residue, and to presetft all
' 'hat is worth while, in space propor
j tjoued to its importance, iu such shape
j That intelligent people will derive profit
: or enjoyment, or both, from reading it.
Tho Mnia.ielphia "Record" is a
newspaper for men, women and young
folks; for farmers and merchant's and
, housekeepers and mechanics; for sages
and students; for all sorts of people in
every walk of life, provided only that
| they take a human interest in the news
of the day, and prefer cleanliness, truth
jand accuracy to tie other kind of jour
i aalism.
You will get all the news that's
I worth while, and you will exclude the

your family newspaper. It has a larger

tlon of our Thanksgiving and Fourth
of July, the foVmer In that It was a
great national feast, the latter In tlmt
It celebrated the emancipation of Is
rael. It was unlike our festivals In
thut it wus profoundly religious, which
can hnrdly by any sense of exaggera
tion Ih> said of the modern celebratlou
of the two American holidays. The
Passover was a time of family re
unions. I do not know whether the
master and disciples had ever cele
brated It together before or not, but at
this last one he earnestly desired to lie
present with them. The first day of
the feast of unleavened bread began
with sunset of Wednesday and ended
with sunset of Thursday. All leaven
was destroyed In every house. Tho
feast consisted of a lamb slain by a
priest In the court of the temple at a
prescribed hour and was cooked by
roasting. With It also for food were
unleavened bread, bitter herbs, wine
and a sweet fruit jam. The (Usciples
gathered with their Lord in the secoml
story of n little house in the holy city.
Tragic things occurred at that supper
—the dispute of the twelve which
should be greatest, the Master washing
their feet, the awful announcement
that one of them should betray htm
and the departure of Judas.
"This I* M/ Bidy."
There is no one thing that so pro
claims the true unity of Christ's church
on earth as this Lord's t:rtile. Around it
all disciples are one in heart. It W
observed In all lands by nil churches
in many different forms. Some dis
ciples strive to preserve the original
forms, recline on couches. lake t!ie
bread and wine in connection with a
simple meal of lamb. Some, sitting in
the pew. take the bread and wiue from
officers of the church Some go for
ward and. kneeling, take it from haml
of priest or minister Some use wine,
some unfermouted grape juice. 8om»
use a single cup. some individual cups.
Some others—a few—omit Ihe bread
and wine altogether and count every
eating of bread and drinking of wine
an occasion of calling to remembrance
the master and thinking of him as their
guest. Some feel that they partake of
but symbols, others that it Is trans
formed Into the very tlesh and blood
of their Lord. But among all is tho
feeling of loyalty and love: whether
the memorial is simple or elaborate. It
is done in his name. And as men cat
of the whentlleld and its strength en
ters into their bone, the garden and
the strength of the vegetables enters
their tlesh. or the herd of the field and
Its streugth enters into their blood,
these many disciples feed ou their Ix»rd
and receive spiritual strength.
An Enduring Monument.
Hundreds of thousands of persons
were iu tho city that night to celebrate
the memorial of the passover. which
had occurred nearly 1.500 years before.
Right outside the house under their
window the disciples could hear the
voices and footsteps hurrying by un

Redeemer was within and that the door

a central temple over which the cross
on which he hung might stand through
out the ages. Hut the cathedral might
pass into hands profaue. impious and
scoffing, or blasphemous war might
level its walls.
"Till He Comal"
So the twelve partook of the last
supper, scarcely conscious that they
were laying the corner stone of the
greatest memorial that the world has
ever seeu. And it has stood through
the ages, towering over the wrecks of
time. Wherever on this earth the
church of Jesus has planted her faith
and breathed his name she celebrates
the solemn ceremony In which bread
and wine are consecrated and partaken
of in memory of the founder of this
great religiou. As on each Sunday
the sunlight travels round the world
it gleams on the uplifted paten and
chalice. Sometimes In magnificent
cathedral with swelling organ incense
and candle, sometimes in log hut or
school building, it is the great common
table of the Lord—and it will be so
observed "till he come." From the
night when the soon to be crucified
Lord Instituted it until notf. down
through the ages, it has not fallen. Na
tions have flourished and faded away.
Civilizations begin, have molded hu
man history, and then are lost Cities
rise In their power, swell In their
opulence and then molder away until
their ve/y sites are forgotten. But this
memorial stands, and will stand, till
he come, whether It be In this year of
grace 1014 or 10.000 years from now—
"Till he come." Some day we shall
rest it in our Father's kingdom.
