Clyde Henry as editor of the manuscript,which contained certain gaps that could be appropr iately bridged only by someone intimately acquainted with Dr. Macartney and his work.' (p. 12) -- `The great occasion in our church life was the semi- annual celebration of the Lord's Supper. The solemnites began with a fast on the Friday before the Communion Sabbath. Then on Saturday afternoon came the Preparatory Service, after which we marched forward to receive the "Tokens" which admitted us to the Lord's Table on the Sabbath. Then on Sabbath morning came the great celebration. First the "Action" Sermon, designed to warm our hearts with repentance, faith, and love as we came to the Table. Then the "Fencing" of the Tables; that is, stating the qualifica tions for a worthy partaking of the Communion and giving warning to the impenitent and those living in sin.The long Communion Table extended across the front of the church between the pulpit and the front pews. At one end of the Table there stood hunch-backed Elder Paisley, soberly clad in broad- cloth,to whom we handed our Tokens. Never have I seen any Communion Service which so moved me as in the Covenanter Church of my boyhood.' (p. 66 f.) VG orig. black cloth under yellow boards.
