Known as one of the finest devotional writers of all time in Communion Memories, John MacDuff presents us with two groups of messages concerning communion: Sermons in preparation for communion and Meditations and addresses with other aids for communion. From messages on Great Resolve to Christ and His Disciples at the Last Supper and Prayer after Communion MacDuff is unparalleled in his insight and inspiration concerning communion. "The Lamb is worthy-the Lamb who was killed. He is worthy to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!" Revelation 5:11-12 What an anthem is this! We have, today, been assembled at Christ's Sacramental Table, contemplating the memorials of His dying ever-living love. The sublime passage just read contains also a superb description of a Communion. But the place of convocation is not a Temple on earth, but Heaven-the fellow-guests, not a few perishable mortals, but a glorified multitude which no man can number. It may form no unbefitting theme, surely, for this evening's service, to connect our sacrament below with the Supper of the Lamb above-The eternal festal Sabbath; no mock kiss of pretended friendship to mar-no anticipated hour and power of darkness to ruffle the deep rapture of its joy. How profoundly interesting the thought that we have here depicted what is now transacting in the Upper Sanctuary.
