Excerpt from A Treatise on the Institution, Nature and Design of the Lord's SupperThe convention of the Methodist Protestant Church, at the formation of our economy, a(iopted an entire new service or formulary for the celebration of the Lord's Supper, in which there is not a single sentence concern ing feeding on Christ's body by faith, or drinking his blood. Hence, we have no' phraseology of this kind at the celebration of the Supper among us, except occa sionally by some ministers, who, from old habit, inadver, ten¿y come over such expressions. When, however, these do occur, we should regard them as mere inadver tencies, .and not suffer our minds to be diverted from a proper and correct exercise, suited to the occasion. The same deportment will be' proper when we partake with christians of other denominations who constantly use a phraseology which we conceive to be exceptionable. It is our duty to exercise charity towards all, and to have fellowship, so far as we consistently can, with every de nomination of professing Christians, notwithstanding how they may differ il'om us in their modes of worship, or manner of expressing themselves in their formularies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
