An Impressive Communion Service

BY J. F. M.

As the congregation rose from communion at the service held in Cambridge, Mass., December 9, the sun, which had been obscured all the morning, broke forth, flooding the room with light, a fit emblem of the spiritual illumination that must have been experienced by all present. The sun had been shining all the time, but we had been unable to perceive it because of the clouds. As soon as the clouds are swept away we bask in the sunlight of Truth and Love.

I do not see how any one could fail to be impressed by the Lesson and the communion. They would, if faithfully followed, produce a spiritual illumination which was typified by the burst of sunshine which filled the room and gladdened the worshipers.

It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It is when to-morrow's burden is added to the burden of to-day, that the weight is more than a man can bear. Never load yourselves so, my friends. If you find yourselves so loaded, at least remember this: it is your own doing, not God's.—Macdonald.
