1 Corinthians 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. I. WHAT NOTIONS DO I FORM OF THE HOLY COMMUNION? II. IN WHAT VIEWS DO I INTEND TO CELEBRATE THIS SOLEMN ACT? Are these views adequate to the nature of the subject and its design? Are they worthy of a rational worshipper of God, of a well-taught and reflecting Christian? What is it properly that I seek in the observance of this religious rite and expect from it? III. AM I NOW IN THAT FRAME OF MIND THAT IS SUITED TO THE CELEBRATION OF THIS SOLEMN ACT? Am I really actuated by Christian sentiments? Do I perceive, do I feel the high value of the objects the memorial whereof I am going to celebrate? Are they often present to my mind and always interesting to my heart? (G. J. Zollikofer.)
