SUPPER OR PASSOVER.
(To THE EDITOR 07 THE " SPECTATOR.") Fss,—If no one better qualified than I does so, will you allow tae to protest against the Vicar of Seaford's attempt to mislead by writing of the origin of " the Lord's own Service " that our Lord asked His Disciples when gathered for their evening meal . . ."? Even a well-instructed Sunday-school child should know that the Last Supper was no mere ordinary evening meal, but is -most solemn and moving religious service, the Passover, so that Idersheim, learned in all Jewish rites, in Book V., chap. x., of his Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, can describe it as " a sacrifice," and give minute details with regard to the prescribed ritual. If this is remembered, the remainder of Canon Cremer's letter becomes meaningless.—I am, Sir, Sic., J. J. MALLOCK. E.Allington Rectory, Dcron.
