Collection › Eckhardt's Reallexikon › index › abendmahleinzelkelch
A cumulative subject index to seven Missouri Synod periodicals, compiled by E. (Ernest) Eckhardt (1868–1939) and printed at St. Louis between 1907 and 1917. Under each headword it sets numbered theses, and beside each thesis the places where the periodicals had treated it — by volume and page, running twenty years past the last of Der Lutheraner's own registers. Where the archive holds the volume a citation names, the citation below is a link to that page.
The alphabetical run is here in full, Abendmahl through Wunder, assembled from five scans: two archive.org items, a pair from Google Books that closes what had looked like a gap in the middle of the alphabet, and the archive.org tail. With it are the Beichtreden appendix, Eckhardt's own printed Register, and the separate 1913 treatise Die Schule, bound in with the later volumes and kept here under its own heading.
Headwords are spelled as Eckhardt set them, so the filter folds the differences that would otherwise hide them — Sklaverei finds Sclaverei, Konkordienformel finds Concordienformel. What you see listed is always the printed spelling.

The German below is machine transcription of the 1907–1917 print (tesseract, Fraktur model) and has not been proof-read against the page. Read it as a finding aid: the citations are what it is for, and a garbled word is a defect of our OCR, not of Eckhardt.

2. Beim Austeilen kann der Paſtor den Kelch drehen, daß ihn jeder an anderer Stelle berührt. 3. Wenn eine Hoſtie auf den Boden fällt, ſo brauche man ſie nicht, ſondern lege ſie auf den Altar. 4»4». Den übrig gebliebenen Wein laſſe man austrinken. 5. Die Gefüße ſollen rein gehalten werden. 41. Einzelkelch. Um Anſteckungsgefahr zu vermeiden, iſt in vielen Kirchen der Einzelkelch eingeführt worden. Andere bedienen ſich kleiner Abendmahlsröhrchen, oder wollen den Kelch ganz abſchaffen. Anm. a. Auch eine Einrichtung, durch die der Kelch während des Gebrauchs antiſeptiſch gereinigt wird, iſt er— funden. Anm. b. Wir bleiben bei der Weiſe Chriſti, der da ſagt: Trinket alle daraus. 1. Weil noch nie ein Fall ſolcher Anſteckung beobachtet worden iſt. 2. Weil die chriſtliche Gemeinſchaft, Communion, auch äußerlich durch das Trinken aus einem Kelch zum Aus- druck gebracht wird. 42. Adminiſtrator. a. Das Abendmahl ſoll vom berufenen Diener der Ge— meinde verwaltet werden. Anm. Kann ein Paſtorſichſelbſt das Abend— mahl reichen? 1. Heimlich ſollte es nie geſchehen. 2. Oeffentlich vor der Gemeinde vielleicht im Not— fall. 3. Beſſer iſt es immer, der Paſtor läßt ſich das Sakrament von jemand anders reichen. b. Das Abendmahl von einem Laien verwaltet, wäre rata, giltig, geradeſo wie die Nottaufe. Anm. Als geiſtlicher Prieſter hat jeder Chriſt das ganze Amt der Schlüſſel. c. Da jedoch 1. Das Abendmahl Seelſorge vorausſetzt, wozu nicht jeder geſchickt iſt, und 2. Kein ſolcher Notfall eintritt, wie bei der Taufe, da man auch ohne Abendmahl ſelig ſter— ben kann und nicht die Ermangelung, ſondern nur die Verachtung des Sakraments verdammt, ſo ſollte kein Läaie das Abendmahl verwalten. Anm. a. Notfälle, wo etwa ein Laie das Abend— mahl reichen könnte, wären, wenn kein Paſtor (etwa in einer Wüſte) zu haben wäre und ein Angefochtener oder Sterbender auf das höchſte nach dem Abendmahl verlangt. Anm. b. In ſolchem Fall kann auch ein Student das Abendmahl reichen. Anm. c. Wird ein Laie von der Gemeinde zur Verwal⸗ tung der Sakramente berufen, ſo handelt er als Diener der Gemeinde.

2. When distributing, the pastor may turn the cup so that each person touches it at a different spot. 3. If a host falls on the floor, it should not be used, but laid on the altar. 4. Let the wine that is left over be drunk up. 5. The vessels should be kept clean. 41. Individual cup. To avoid the danger of infection, the individual cup has been introduced in many churches. Others make use of small communion tubes, or wish to do away with the cup altogether. Note a. A device has also been invented by which the cup is cleaned antiseptically during use. Note b. We hold to Christ's way, who says: Drink you all of it. 1. Because no case of such infection has ever been observed. 2. Because Christian fellowship, communion, is also outwardly expressed by drinking from one cup. 42. Administrator. a. The Lord's Supper should be administered by the called minister of the congregation. Note. Can a pastor administer the Lord's Supper to himself? 1. It should never be done secretly. 2. Publicly before the congregation, perhaps in a case of necessity. 3. It is always better for the pastor to have someone else administer the sacrament to him. b. The Lord's Supper administered by a layman would be valid, just like emergency baptism. Note. As a spiritual priest, every Christian holds the whole office of the keys. c. Since, however, 1. The Lord's Supper presupposes pastoral care, for which not everyone is skilled, and 2. No such case of necessity arises as with baptism, since one can also die blessed without the Lord's Supper, and it is not the lack but only the contempt of the sacrament that condemns, no layman should administer the Lord's Supper. Note a. Cases of necessity in which a layman might administer the Lord's Supper would be where no pastor is available (say, in a wilderness) and a person under spiritual assault or dying urgently desires the Lord's Supper. Note b. In such a case a student too may administer the Lord's Supper. Note c. If a layman is called by the congregation to administer the sacraments, he acts as a servant of the congregation.

A citation shown like this names a volume the archive does not hold — most of Der Lutheraner and Lehre und Wehre past Jahrgang 10, and the five other series Eckhardt indexes, none of which are here. Those references are printed as Eckhardt set them rather than hidden: the reference is the useful thing even when we cannot serve the page. Page images of the Reallexikon itself are not served in this build; the scan note under each entry gives the item and image index in the archive.org copy.
