I allude to these facts to show that, so far from the Supper being a tradition in which men are fully agreed, there has always bee...n the widest room for difference of opinion upon this particular. Having recently given particular attention to this subject, I was led to the conclusion that Jesus did not intend to establish an institution for perpetual observance when he ate the Passover with his disciples; and further, to the opinion that it is not expedient to celebrate it as we do.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of br...ead, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, -This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, -This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Whoever is admitted or sought for, in company, upon any other account than that of his merit and manners, is never respected there..., but only made use of. We will have such-a-one, for he sings prettily; we will invite such-a-one to a ball, for he dances well; we will have such-a-one at supper, for he is always joking and laughing; we will ask another because he plays deep at all games, or because he can drink a great deal. These are all vilifying distinctions, mortifying preferences, and exclude all ideas of esteem and regard. Whoever is had (as it is called) in company for the sake of any one thing singly, is singly that thing, and will never be considered in any other light; consequently never respected, let his merits be what they will.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
I am convinced that a light supper, a good night's sleep, and a fine morning, have sometimes made a hero of the same man, who, by ...an indigestion, a restless night, and rainy morning, would have proved a coward.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Taking a good mouthful, I felt as though I had taken liquid fire; the tomato was chile colorado, or red pepper, of the purest kind.... It nearly killed me, and I saw Gómez' eyes twinkle for he saw that his share of supper was increased.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Typical of Iowa towns, whether they have 200 or 20,000 inhabitants, is the church supper, often utilized to raise money for paying... off church debts. The older and more conservative members argue that the "House of the Lord" should not be made into a restaurant; nevertheless, all members contribute time and effort, and the products of their gardens and larders.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Ever since I was a kid my folks fed me bigotry for breakfast and ignorance for supper. Never, not once did they ever make me feel ...proud of where I was born. That's it. That was a cancer they put in me. No knowledge of my country. No pride. Just a hymn of hate.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
