Was it His Body and Blood ? It was the sign, the symbol, and the outward rite was given as a memorial of Himself, as a means of realizing spiritually the life imaged in the nourishing bread ; the sacrifice imaged in the sign of the blood-red wine ; the union imaged in the common food, uniting the Christian group to Himself and to one another in the common fellowship of a common meal. ... In every Christian household it was usual for the head of the family at the evening meal to hand round bread... and wine ' in remembrance ' of Him. , . . From a social usage this act at the family supper grew into an ecclesiastical sacra- ment, administration being only valid after consecration by the priests, and thus became, in the hands of the Church, a sort of magical rite of mysteri- ous efficacy, to be granted or withheld at the good-will and pleasure of the clergy. . . . Far may we have travelled from the simplicity which is in Jesus, but if we wish to know what he meant we must go back and assist at the first celebration in that upper room after the departure of Judas, and then all forms will be equally good for us ; or at least tolerated by us.
