THE LORDS SUPPER

TO the Hon. SeagraveS of the |
State of Texas, formally of Doug
las Co. Mo. On this subject. We
concluded for the benefit of our
readers now, and Hereafter togive
them the truth of Gods word on
this ordinance. And for the foun-
dation of our remarks we shall
quote you the following.
The cup Of blessing Which We bless il it not
the communion Of the blood OF Christ: Til
bread which we break, i. it not the c,mmu-
pion OF :hv body OF Christ; Cor. 10 49,
We can truly say in this scrip
ture there is two affirmative
question. The one in the com.
munion of the blood; the other in
the communion Of the bcdy Now
the first thing that we shall do,
is to find out who spoke this Ian
guage; and for the proof We
shall quote you this.
PAUL called to he An apostle Of Jcsus Christ
through the will Of God, and sostnenes our
brother, Cor. ii.
Yes it was Paul, who spoke
our Text. And who then was
Paul? Please read.
For | speak tu you Gentilcs nasmuch rs
am the apostle of the Gcn,ieS, magnify
mine office; No,n l-l3
Yes it is true, Paul was an
Apostles to tie GentileS. Then
we ask who was Paul speaking
too, in tue language Of our Text?
And for this proof We ask you
to read.
Into the church Of God which at torinth,
to them tina, are .nctit"d in rhri Jesus, called
to 10 saints, with al that in every place call
upon the name OF Jesus Christ our Lor., both
theirs and ours;
Grace hr unto you, and peace, from God
our Father, AID from the Lord Jesus Christ
Cor. "s
Paul was not writing just to tn sc
Corinthians alone; no it was to
ALL in all places, who called on
the name of the Lord. So then
we find no close communion: in
our Text. For Paul made it free
to every one who called on the
name of the Lord. So then BIO

name Of the Lord, you have
perfect right. So with you Bro
