Feeling "Run Down?"
Just suppose that right now you were talking to a physician. YOU would have to confess to him that somehow you seem to tire very quickly nowadays; that your energy is gone and that now and then you feel jumpy and
irritated.

HOLY COMMUNION
A Drama Whose Text Is
In The Bible

REV. H. W. BAINES'
SERMON
Preaching at Choral Eucharist in St. John's Cathedral yester- day morning, the Rev. H. W. Baines, dealing with Holy Commun. lon said that it was a drama whese text was in the Bible. If our religion, he said, were based as others upon the concensus of the best human opinion then there would simply be a subject for discussion either as an ethical power or a metaphysical explorer.
Taking as his text. "For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till He come." (I Corin enians IIV. 28) the preculer said:-
The Holy Communion is a drama whose text is in the Bible. The purpose and the direction of the whose service is to demonstrate the historical drama of our rell- glon. And of this the Bible 1s the text. So that the purpose for which we are here at the Com- munton is not first for mutual ex- hortation nor only an act of pray er, nor eveni a uniquely sacred op- portunity for fellowship but rather for the re-enactment by divine permission of that drama of our redemption now 2,000 years old but ageless..
Here. Ir the intention of our Master and our own hearts could but be realised, we should have the Church In" aqtion. There would be assembled the people of this parish, young and old. representa- tive of every walk of life giving themselves with reasonable devo- tion to be absorbed in the un- ceasing activity of the Son of the Living God. In such action what could be more appropriate than the use of the Psalms and of the Scriptures? For the Psalms are, as it were, the songs of praise of the people of God and the scrip- tures are the historical records with which the Church has been endowed by its own sons and which it has tested, before it ad- mitted to its use.

ENDURING LINK
it is so that the. Christian Church bases its own personal claim and the claim that it makes for God upon the historical truth of Jesus Christ then it must not only allow but Invite searching, albeit rever- ent, criticism of its documents and records. If you denounce such criticism whether out of respect for the authority of the Bible or for the authority of the Church you are in act abandoning the ap peal of the Church to history, and with it the principal of the Incarnation,
WHERE CHURCH STANDS I received 3 few days ago a letter rom one of the foremost and most radical New Testament scho- lars in England.

There is no place in the Church's le in which the prominence of the Bible 15 greater than the Eucharist. Here it la in the words of St. Paul that we" "show the Lord's death til He come." Have you ever realised before how inse- perably wedded the Bible is to the worship of the Church in
this service?" Included within it are Paalms or hymns, biblical epistles. biblical Gospels, the recitation of the worda with which our Lord instituted the Lord's Supper and the Gloria in excelc's. It seems that the further this service reaches out in the love and purpose of God to gather in men and women from highways and byways, the further back it drives its roots into their historical soll.
It is always well whether at the Communion Service or morning or evening prayer to remember when we sing the Psalms how enduring is the link that they are between. us and the people of God of whom Jesus was born. They are Chris- tian literature as Shakespeare is English because of the charac- ter; and they are international literature as Shakespeare because of their quality. The older liturgies were very much more full of the Esalter than is ours to-day but I think we shall not badly fall ir, In the adornment and expression of our worship, we use both the hymns of the ancient people of God and also those of His church
