Address news letters to Herbert W. Armstrong, editor,
at 560 Fourth Ave., West, Eugene, Ore.

THE LORD'S SUPPER AND DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD ARE HERE!
The most solemn and sacred occasion of the year, the
observance of the Lord's Supper, will take place on Tuesday
night, April 16th. This is the eve, or beginning of Abib 14th of
the sacred calendar, which is April 17th.
Jeans, Alvadore, and Eugene churches will combine for the
occasion, meeting at the home of the editor in Eugene, at 560
Fourth Avenue, West. The editor will officiate, assisted by the
deacons, E. E. Fisher, and W. M. Conn.
Elder Ray will officiate at Oregon City, Elder Stewart at
Salem, and Elder Severson at Harrisburg. We are unable to
announce the places of meeting in these cities, but the brethren
at each place will probably know, or can learn, where to go.
Let all the brethren examine themselves, being sure that none
partake of this sacred ordinance unworthily. If any feels
unworthy, the Word does not excuse him from taking the supper,
but rather: "Let a man EXAMINE himself, and so let him EAT of
that bread, and DRINK of that cup." All are COMMANDED to observe
it. Let us seek the Lord very earnestly.
The Annual Sabbath Days
In connection with the Lord's Supper, or Passover, comes the
SEVEN DAYS of UNLEAVENED BREAD, with the two annual holy days, or
Sabbaths.
All brethren should put all leaven out of their houses during
this period.
April 17th, or the period from sun-set Tuesday night until
sunset Wednesday night, is the Passover and the Preparation for
the annual High Day Sabbath. See John 19:14,31. April 18th,
beginning Wednesday sunset until Thursday sunset, is the 15th of
Abib---the annual "high day sabbath."
"In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the
Lord's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the
feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat
unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an HOLY
CONVOCATION": (the annual "high day" sabbath of John 19:31): "ye
shall do no servile work therein . . . in the seventh day is an
HOLY CONVOCATION: ye shall do no servile work therein." (Lev. 23:
5-8).
"And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread . . . by
an ordinance FOREVER." (Ex. 12:17). "Christ our Passover is
sacrificed for us: therefore let us KEEP THE FEAST." (I Cor. 5:
7,8). The "feast" is the annual holyday. See margin.
The Church of God in the first century DID observe the entire
seven days of unleavened bread. (Acts 20:6; 12:3,4). Therefore we
must, today. They also continued to observe the other annual
Sabbaths. (Acts 20:16; 18:21; I Cor. 16:8; Acts 27:9, see margin
