Q. Show that our bodies as well as our souls partake of these benefits.

A.

And be in charity with

all men.

Q. What is to "be in charity with all men ?"

A. " Being ready to make restitution and satisfaction, according to the uttermost of our powers, for all injuries and wrongs done by us to any other; and being likewise ready to forgive others that have offended us, as we would have forgiveness of our offences at God's hand."-First Exhort. before Communion Service.

SUPPLEMENTARY QUESTIONS.

Quest. WHAT persons are forbidden to come to the Holy Communion?

Ans. "If any be an open and notorious evil liver, or have done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed."-Second Ru ic before Communion Service. And, "if any of you be a blasphemer of God, an hinderer or slanderer of his word, an adulterer, or be in malice, or envy, or in any other grievous crime, repent you of your sins, or else come not to that holy table."-First Exhortation before Communion Service.

Q. Is being an "evil liver" any excuse for not coming to the Holy Communion?

A. No; for we read in the Exhortation, "If any man say, I am a grievous sinner, and therefore am afraid to come; wherefore then do ye not repent and amend?"-Second Exhortation before Communion Service. Q. Who are mentioned in the Exhortation to warn persons of their sinfulness in not coming?

A. "They that refused the feast in the Gospel, because they had bought a farm, or would try their yokes of oxen, or because they were married, and were not so excused, but counted unworthy of the

heavenly feast."-Second Exhortation before Communion Service.

Q. What then is the duty of persons who thus wilfully abstain from the Lord's table?

A. "By God's grace [to] return to a better mind." -Second Exhortation before Communion Service.
