Today, millions of Chris
tians in every part of the
world will participate in Holy
Communion just as Jesus
Christ did on a Thursday
evening almost two thousand
years ago.
The simple rite with bread
and wine will have different
meanings for different Chris
tians. But to all Christians it
is an act of obedience to
Jesus' command: "Do this in
remembrance of Me."
Historically, the communion
service can be dated hundreds
of years before that evening
in the upper room, when
Jesus and His disciples shared
the Last Supper. It goes back
to Moses and his command
for the feast of the passover,
to commemorate each year
the deliverance of the Israel
ites from Egypt.
Not for Gaiety
So it was that evening in
Jerusalem. In almost every
home people gathered to ob
serve' the feast of the Pass
over. But for Jesus it was not
an occasion of gaiety. He
knew that his death was
near. It was an occasion of
such deep consequence for
Him that none of His com
panions could then compre
hend the true meaning of His
words.
Jesus took two of the sym
bols of Passover, bread and
wine, and gave them a signifi
cant new interpretation.
He was celebrating not just
the freedom of the Israelites
from domination by the Egyp
tians. He was heralding the
victory of God over both sin
and death.
Jesus knew that people in
sin and that included the
whole human race were
in bondS2- They were slaves
of their lower selves. The
mission of Jesus was the re
lease of mankind from that
bondage.
The only way all this could
be changed was for life to be
sacrificed- Jesus Christ made
that sacrifice, taking upon
Himself mankind's sins, dy
ing on a cross at the hands of
sin.
If the scene had ended
there, it would have been
only another incident in his
tory. But Jesus was raised
from the dead and through
this divine act was the victor
over sin and death itself. This
He reminds us is the most im-

Extends Freedom
God extends to us all this
freedom from the bondage of
sin. First, we need faith in
Him. Then we must forsake
every known sin, seek His
forgiveness, and . decide to
walk with Him. This is a
simple formula, but it requires
an act of will which is the
heart of surrender to God.
When once we have sur
rendered our will to God's
will, there is both joy and
power, and love acts on the
highest level.
The sacrament of Holy
Communion is an act of com
memorating the true signifi
cance of Christ's death on the
cross and His resurrection
from the dead. It reminds us,
as nothing else can, of Cal
vary and of the empty tomb.
We come faithfully to the
table, as Christians have done
down through the centuries,
to remember his precious
deed. The remainder of our
lives is but the manifestation
of our surrender to His will.

'Short Sellers' on Increase
As General Public Gets in Act
Editor's note: Eldon A. Grimm,
noted stock market analyst, has
written the. following dispatch as a
guest contributor for Elmer C.
Walzer's "Financial Gossip" while
Walzer is on vacation.
By ELDON A. GRIMM
Written for United Presi
New York (IF) "Short
sellers" in the stock market
have increased considerably
over the past few months.
Normally these "shorts" are
professional traders who sell
a stock which they don't own
with the hope of buying it
back later on at . a lower
price. Lately, however, the
general public has gotten
into the act too, due to head
line news about the business
recession.
Selling short is a hazardous
occupation. The person who
engages in it may guess wrong
and have to repurchase the
stock at a higher price.
There's an old saying in Wall
Street that "he who sells
what isn't his'n must buy
it back or go to prison."
Highest Level Since 1931
Last month the "short in
terest" on the New York
Stock Exchange jumped to
4,460,660 shares, the highest
level since the bitter Depres
sion days of 1931. Over the
past two months, the short in
terest has risen 1,627,920
shares, a gain of 57 per cent
and the steepest climb on rec
ord. At the American Stock
Exchange, the short position
has zoomed to an all - time
peak.
Are these traders and ama
teur "bears" going to make
money or are they going to
lose their shirts? They ' are
defying the overworked slo
gan about "don't sell Ameri
ca short!"
Biggest short position is in
U.S. Steel, with 315,652 shares
short, or triple the 103,291
total of two months ago. The
bears have no personal grudge
against this "blue chip" en
terprise. But their contention
'is that "Big Steel," which has
been split six-foivone since
1946, still appears'vhigh, with
steel industry operations down
to a new low of 48 per cent
of capacity.
Other Major Gains
Some other major gains in
short positions over the past
two months have been in
Bethlehem Steel, Chrysler,
Fruehauf Trailer, Anaconda,
Reynolds Metals and Alumi
num Co. of America.
One of the toughest battles
between the bears and the
bulls has been taking place
in Polaroid, of "Land" cam
era fame. Shorts in Polaroid
skyrocketed to 122,967 shares
vs. 54,755 in mid-January. The
short sellers argue that the
"glamorous" Polaroid at
about $62 a share seem "too
high.", They point out that
the stock sold as low as $1.50
back in 1950, and that 1957
earnings were only $1.44 a
share and may not exceed $2
for 1958. Polaroid's annual
dividend is a mere 20 cents.
Even so, the Polaroid shorts,
like guard house lawyers in
the Army, might be partially
wrong, because the .company
hopes to perfect a color pro
cess. Lorillard Shorts Way Up
Likewise, many shorts have
been fighting the rise in the
earnings of Lorillard, which
currently boasts a best-selling
filter cigarette. Lorillard
shorts In two months have
gone up to 58,560 shares from
12,823. Lorillard stock has
trippled, topping 54 vs. last
year's low of 15ss.
Shorts in Lukehs Steel con
tend that Lukens' recent rec
ord profits are temporary in
nature, and the short position
in that stock amounts to 69,
000 shares, or 7 per cent of
the total issue.
Short sellers actually per
form a public service. They
help to stabilize fluctuations
in the market. When stock
prices decline, previous short
sellers "cover""at a profit and
their buying helps to cushion
the drop.
