Excerpt from The Communion Table: The Approach the Service the Retrospect It is the opinion of the writer, that the spiritual progress of the Church has much to do with the appropriate observance of the grand and solemn ordinance of the Lord's Supper, and also, that, as a general fact, the preparation made for it is far too slight, in respect to reading, meditation, and prayer. Hence the benefits which it was designed, and is adapted to convey, are experienced in only a moderate degree, and the best opportunity for spiritual growth and enjoyment, is thus, in too many cases, sadly neglected and nearly thrown away. It seems, therefore, very desirable that every professing Christian should not only possess, but conscientiously and faithfully peruse, before each observance, some approved treatise, of moderate dimensions, relating to the Communion, so as to comprehend the more clearly its spiritual import and lessons, and to experience in larger measure its surpassing benefits. This remark applies with special force to those who are about to enter, or have recently entered, the Christian Church.
