International Bible Students Association Classes
MEMORIAL SUPPER AT NEW YORK CITY TEMPLE.
West 63rd Street—Nr. B’way.

————

Last year the Memorial Supper was celebrated on its anniversary at the Brooklyn Tabernacle; but this year we propose to celebrate it at the New York City Temple, which has nearly double the capacity. While we would gladly welcome all Christian believers who acknowledge the value of the death of Christ as the redemption-price for the world, and who have fully consecrated their lives to walk in His steps, nevertheless we do not urge the present at the Temple of those who can conveniently meet with their local Classes on this occasion. It is a family celebration; and, while all of the Lord’s people are of one family, there is a particular sense in which each little group or class of Bible Students is a family in the Lord—an Ecclesia. In celebrating this Supper, each should do his part in making the home celebration an impressive, soul-satisfying one—not forgetting the presence of the Lord; as He said, “Where two or three of you are met in My name, there am I.”

The Associated Bible Students of New York City will, of course, feel perfectly welcome to bring any of their Christian friends with them, but it is hardly an occasion for inviting in those who have not yet made a consecration of their hearts to the Lord. We hope to meet, as usual, at 7:45 p.m. and to begin the service proper at 8 o’clock, Sunday evening, March 28th.
