Excerpt from The Story of the Token as Belonging to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper The celebration of the communion has been specially shorn of what were formerly thought to be its appropriate and necessary solemnities. It is true. That the simple, yet impressive ceremonial used to be prolonged to an ex tent that the modern church member would quickly rebel against. But the old-time worshiper did not study brevity, and rather insisted on good measure, pressed down and running over. The time can still be remembered when it was really the great day of the feast. In country parishes, observed only once a year - requiring a staff of ministers to carry out its varied and lengthy forms of worship - hedged about with days of fasting, and preparation, and thanksgiving, it was, in deed as the phrase went, a great occa sion, to which the people looked forward with desire and looked back with delight. Nowadays all is changed, and our fathers would mournfully exclaim, the glory is departed from Israel. If there are what may be termed sacred mysteries pertaining to our Presbyterian ritual, they are certainly those connected with the observance of an old-time Com munion. The celebration began with the long penitential prayer and the other pro tracted exercises of the day of humiliation and fasting: a day kept, if possible, with more than Sabbatical strictness. Then came the usual lengthy preparation services of the Saturday, followed by the plain but strikingly impressive worship of the Sabbath itself.
