A Good Communion Text for "Aged Saints"

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

"We are about to meet around the communion table,... Can you desire a better preparation for communion?

We have fellowship with God and with one another upon the basis of the infinite love which is displayed in Jesus Christ our Lord.
The gospel is the fair white linen cloth which covers the table on which the Communion Feast is set.
Babes in Christ and men in Christ here feed upon one common food.
Come,
ye aged saints,
be children again;
and you that have long known your Lord,
take up your first spelling-book,
and go over your A B C again,
by learning that God so loved the world,
that he gave his Son to die,
that man might live through him.
I do not call you to an elementary lesson because you have forgotten your letters, but because it is a good thing to refresh the memory, and a blessed thing to feel young again."
