SECOND READING.
"This do in remembrance of me."--_Luke 22:19._
WHEN our Lord and His apostles were eating the Supper together, He was
very sorrowful, and said, "One of you shall betray me." The apostles
were grieved, and each said, "Lord, is it I?" And He said, "He that
dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me."
And then, as the custom was, He dipped His piece of bread in the
dish in the middle of the table, and gave it to Judas. Then the wicked
man presently got up and went away.
[Illustration: CHRIST ENTERING JERUSALEM.]
And as they were still in the upper room, our Lord took bread and
broke it, and gave a piece to each of His apostles, and said, "Take,
eat: this is My Body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance
of me." And He took a Cup of wine, and said, "This Cup is the new
testament in My Blood: This do, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance
of me."
[Illustration: THE LAST SUPPER.--Matt. 26:26-28.]
And that was the beginning of what we call the Holy Sacrament of the
Lord's Supper, "For as often as ye do eat of this Bread, and drink this
Cup, ye do show the Lord's death till He come."

THIRD READING.
"Not as I will, but as Thou wilt."--_Matt. 26:39._
SUPPER being over, and night coming on, our Lord went out with His
disciples to a garden, full of olive trees, called Gethsemane, where
He often used to pray. He told them again on the way that they would
soon all be afraid, and leave Him; but Peter could not think so, and
said boldly that if everybody fell from Him, he never would. But JESUS
answered, "Verily, I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock
crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."
