Encouragements
Great blessings are derived from being a conscientious communicant. At this sacrament, you will find confirmation of faith and all graces, as already said. You will be honoured and comforted by the fellowship ot Christ’s people; you will be inclosed, and protected, and watched over, in the fold; you will in a higher degree enjoy the acquaintance, sympathy, converse, and prayers of trae Christians; you will have facility, stimulus, aid, and example in holy living; and you will hold forth the word of life to the unconverted world, in a manner which would not otherwise be possible. To all which may be added, the indescribable solace of a consciousness that you are obeying Him who died for you.
