Subject: The Co-Union of Communion |
Bible Note: "When I joined the Baptist Church at Cambridge, one of the most respectable churches that can be found in the world, one of the most generous, one of the most intelligent -- this was a great many years ago, when I was young -- nobody spoke to me. On the Lord's Day I sat at the Communion table in a certain pew. There was one gentleman in it, and when the service was over, I said to him, 'I hope you are quite well, sir?' He said, 'You have the advantage of me.' I answered, 'I don't think I have, for you and I are brothers.' 'I don't quite know what you mean,' said he. 'Well,' I replied, 'when I took the bread and wine just now, in token of our being one in Christ, I meant it. Did not you?' We were by that time in the street; he put both his hands on my shoulders -- I was about sixteen years old then -- and he said, 'Oh, sweet simplicity!' Then he added, 'You are quite right, my dear brother, you are quite right. Come in to tea with me. I am afraid I should not have spoken to you if you had not first addressed me.' I went to tea with him that evening; and when I left, he asked me to go again the next Lord's Day, so I went, and that Sabbath Day he said to me, 'You will come here every Sunday evening, won't you?' So old Mr. [Isaac] Watts and young Mr. Spurgeon became fast friends." --Charles H. Spurgeon |
