Card From, Believer. -

Editor Herald and News: In listen
ing to the pastor of one Of our
churches we heard the following:
"Ye that do truly and earnestly re-
pent Of Your sins. and are in love and
charity with your neighbors, and IN
tend to lead a new ife,. following the
commandments of God, and walking
from henceforth in His holy ways.
draw near with faith and take Ills
holy sacrament TO- your comfort, and
make your humble confession to. AL
mighty God. meekly kneeling upon
your knees.
In watching some parties we we're
forcibly reminded of the following
passages:
:And when he had given thanks,
he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this
is my body, which is broken for YOU:
this do in remembrance Of me. After
the same manner also he took the cup,
when he had supped, saying, This cup
is the new testament in my blood !:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink 1t, IN
remembrance Of me- ''Wherefore
whosoever shall eat this bread, and
drink this cup of the Lord, unworth1-
ly, shall be guilty Of the body and
blood Of the Lord. But let man
examine himself, and so let him eat
Of that bread, and drink of that cup.
For he that eateth and drinketh un-
worthily, eateth and drinketh dam1a-
ton to himself, not discerning the
Lords body. For this cause many
are weak and sickly among You. and
many Sleep
Thinking Of this, taken from tine
11th chapter Of 1st Corinthians, and
remembering what had been read by
the pastor, we could not but wonder
if a man with hatred or malice IN his
heart for one of his fellowmen was
not eating and drinking damnatlon
unto himself.
