to John,

"He it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it," and He
gave it to Judas Iscariot. Then Satan entered fully into the angry,
covetous heart of Judas, and when Jesus said to him in a low voice,
"That thou doest do quickly," he rose and went out into the night.
Alone with His faithful friends, the Lord took bread and blessed it and
broke it, and gave to them, saying, "Take, eat, this is my body; this
do in remembrance of me." And He took the cup, saying, "Drink ye all
of it, for this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins."

And so the Lord founded the Holy Supper of His Church, the mystery and
the holiness of which you will know more and more as you grow in the
heavenly life, and receive through His Spirit the new wine of the
Kingdom. John, the beloved disciple, kept for us the wonderful and
precious words that the Lord spoke after the Holy Supper. They are
full of a love for His children so deep and wide that we can never hope
to measure it. They are written in the fourteenth, fifteenth,
sixteenth, and seventeenth chapters of John's Gospel, and every child
should hide them in his memory and heart before he is grown, and in
after life they will be bread in time of spiritual famine. Looking
around upon their troubled faces at the table the Lord said to His
disciples, "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe

place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you unto myself, that when I am there ye may be
also." He answered their questions, and He promised them the
Comforter--the Holy Spirit of Truth, who would teach them all things,
and make all the dark things clear. He also promised certainly to come
back to them and not leave them orphans.

After they had sung a psalm they arose from the table, but they
lingered for the Lord's last words and His prayer. He charged them to
be steadfast and live from Him, as a branch lives from the vine, for He
was the true spiritual Vine, and without Him they could do nothing. He
told them of His great love for them, and that they must love one
another through all the suffering and persecution that was before them,
and trust to the Spirit of Truth, who would guide them in all things,
and teach them the things He would say to them, but which they were not
yet able to bear. And He promi
