QUES. 16.-Is it scriptural for one brother to give thanks for the bread, and another for the cup when we remember the Lord in His death?

ANS.-While there is no specific statement directing that one brother do both, we have the Lord's example as our sure guide in observing the supper which He instituted for us to keep. He gave thanks and broke the bread, and then taking the cup He also gave thanks. See Matt. 26:26, 27; Mark 14:22,23; Luke 22:19,20; 1 Cor. 11:24, 25. This, we think, is sufficient to show the procedure for us to follow, since there is no definite command or other scriptural example.
