![]() ![]() 'Do this,' is the true meaning of the words, not 'in remembrance of Me,' but something far more sweet and pathetic - 'do this for the remembering of Me.' The former expression is equal to 'Do this because you remember.' The real meaning of the words is, 'Do this in case you forget' do this in order that you may recall to memory what the slippery memory is so apt to lose - the impression of even the sweetest sweetness, of the most loving love, and the most self-abnegating sacrifice, which He offered for us. So then, first, we have to think of it as a memorial of the past. I do not deal so much with the mere words of my text as with this threefold significance of the rite which it appoints. For the present, it is the symbol of the Christian life, as that great sixth chapter in John's gospel sets forth and for the future, it is a prophecy, as our Lord Himself said on that night in the upper chamber, 'Till I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom,' and as the Apostle in this context says, 'Till He come.' It is to these three aspects of this ordinance, as the embodiment of all essential Christian truth, and as the embodiment of all deep Christian experience, covering the past, the present, and the future, that I wish to turn now. For the past, as the text shows us, it is a memorial of one Person, and one fact in that Person's life. It covers all time as well as all revelation and all Christian experience. Not only so, but in the simple primitive form of the Lord's Supper there is contained a reference to the past, the present and the future. There is no room for any other rites, because these two, the rite of initiation, which is baptism, and the rite of commemoration, which is the Lord's Supper, say everything about Christianity as a revelation, and about Christianity as a living experience. The reason why these two, and only these two, external ordinances were appointed by Jesus Christ was, that, taken together, they cover the whole ground of revealed fact, and they also cover the whole ground of Christian experience. I do not stay to dwell upon the value of a rite contemporaneous with the fact which it commemorates, and continuously lasting throughout the ages, as a witness of the historical veracity of the alleged fact but I want to fix upon this thought, that Jesus Christ, who cared very little for rites, who came to establish a religion singularly independent of any outward form, did establish two rites, one of them to be done once in a Christian lifetime, one of them to be repeated with indefinite frequency, and, as it appears, at first repeated daily by the early believers. No reasonable doubt can exist, then, that within a very few years of our Lord's death, the whole body of Christian people believed that Jesus Christ Himself appointed the Lord's Supper. And so we are carried back to a period very close indeed to the first institution of the rite, by the words before us. It is intended to correct corruptions in the administration of the rite which must have taken some time to develop themselves. It presupposes a previous narrative which had been orally delivered to the Corinthians, and, as the Apostle alleges, was derived by him from Christ Himself. It dates long before any of the Gospels, and goes up, probably, to somewhere about five and twenty years after the Crucifixion. The account of the institution of the Lord's Supper, contained in this context, is very much the oldest extant narrative of that event. ![]() V) - Alexander Maclaren'This do in remembrance of Me.' - 1 COR.

The delay had given Captain Sloane time to straighten out crew finances and pay for the fuel, but Iridian and Tritheist had taken shifts intimidating the barge crew into allowing them to stay. It’d picked its own time to leave for Vesta, too, despite all of Adda’s arguments to depart sooner. "The Casey’s letting us off here, yeah." Iridian cast a suspicious look at a cam in a corner of the main cabin, which served as one of the Casey’s many eyes.Īdda and the Casey had discussed their destination after the Casey had docked with a fuel barge on the Mars-Ceres reliable route and decided to stay there for two days after it’d finished refueling. ![]() The ship does intend to dock here, I assume?

We’ll be in range of Vesta’s southern docking guides in five minutes. Captain Sloane crossed the main cabin to the bridge console in two low-gravity strides, long coat and neatly braided black hair following after. The Casey’s bedroom door slid up and open. Goggles with dark blue lenses hid his scarred eyes, reflecting the ceiling-wall seam lights from where he sat on the floor near Adda. Wish I could see it, the younger one, Pel, said. The other people in the Casey Mire Mire’s main cabin, a man just out of his teens with the same pale complexion as Adda’s, and a darker man with a beard like a stylized leaf, laughed and swore, respectively. A tapered line of recently regrown flesh marred a tattoo of a flap of skin pulled up to reveal a skull and crossed rib bones drawn over realistic viscera beneath it. Iridian raised one side of her shirt to her armpit. ![]() So I thought, ‘Pel’s dying around here somewhere, and what do I need two kidneys for anyway?’ and grabbed the bastard.

Light-up clocks may particularly benefit those who suffer from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and find mornings especially difficult without natural daylight. The light triggers us to produce serotonin too, which will (hopefully) help us wake up with more energy and in a better mood. This positively affects our circadian rhythms, which control sleeping patterns and are affected by light, so our body wakes up naturally. They work by emitting a natural-looking light (or dawn simulator) that gets brighter over a set period of time. The research revealed it’s far less stressful for the body to wake naturally, which a light-up alarm will enable you to do every morning.

Matthew's mother, Isobel, who has training as a nurse, clashes with Lady Grantham over how Downton's hospital should be run. Matthew, as well as house staffers Thomas and William, are enlisted to fight, and the Granthams agree to turn Downton into a convalescent hospital for wounded soldiers. The backdrop for season two is WWI, which has affected Downton substantially.After Mary admits to herself that she's in love with Matthew, the season ends with Lord Grantham announcing that England is at war with Germany. Several servants pursue love, too, the most notable being housemaid Anna and valet Mr. Mary's two sisters, Sybil and Edith, look for love of their own, with the former beginning to warm up to Tom Branson, the family's chauffer. The male relative's name is Matthew, and his working-class tendencies - he's a lawyer - at first rub the Granthams the wrong way. Robert has three daughters, and the law of the land dictates Robert pass Downton to a male relative - which means he can either pass off his wealth to a male he barely knows, or have his eldest daughter, Mary, wed a distant male relative, ensuring his fortune stays in his immediate family. When the first season opens, Lord Robert Grantham learns that the heir of his estate has died aboard the Titanic.With that said, here are the basic narrative shapes of the first four seasons. Therefore, summarizing each season in a few short sentences is difficult. In essence, the series is a soap opera - though a big-budget, beautifully-acted one.

To name two, Hugh Bonneville (Lord Grantham) has appeared in The Monuments Men and Muppets Most Wanted, while Michelle Dockery (Grantham's daughter Mary) appeared in the recent Anna Karenina. Many of the series' actors have played roles in notable films. Smith is 80 years old and just as versatile as ever, with a keen ability to portray everyone from Downton's snarky Dowager Countess to Harry Potter's Professor McGonagall. The show's big name has always been Dame Maggie Smith, whose 60-plus-year career has included work on Broadway, the West End, film, and television. This show pretty much stars dozens of familiar actors. ![]() (Carnival Films) 3) What famous actors are in the series? Though much filming takes place at Highclere, some scenes - specifically, those taking place in the kitchen and the servants' quarters - are shot at Ealing Studios. The castle has served as a filming location for several other series and films and is open to the public for tours. The Victorian home, set on 5,000 acres of land, is the country seat of the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, whose family has lived in Highclere since 1679. It's called Highclere Castle, and it's located in Hampshire, England. ![]() Though Downton is fictitious, the estate at which it is set and filmed is real. The drama comes from the characters trying to navigate their rapidly changing, post-Edwardian world. The series takes as its starting point actual historical events, including the sinking of the Titanic, and the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, then filters them through the characters' reactions. The show is inspired by the 1970s BBC series Upstairs, Downstairs, which told the story of how upstairs nobles interacted with downstairs servants. The Crawleys are waited on by Downton's servants, most of whom care greatly for the nobility they serve. Their story began in 1912 and has continued to the '20s. The series follows the lives of the Crawleys, the aristocratic family who lives in Downton Abbey. It can be viewed in the US on PBS, as part of its Masterpiece series. 1) What is Downton Abbey?ĭownton Abbey is a period drama produced by Carnival Films.
