We have come together in this one place, Christian brethren, for the purpose of celebrating a very simple yet instructive and impressive ceremony, which has been appointed to us by Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. “This do, said he, in remembrance of me.” To eat of this bread, and to drink of this cup, is that which he requires us to do.
