Believer Quote by William Morley Punshon
“Surely there is a fitness in the institution of the Lord's Supper as a standing memorial by which the church at large may commemorate the grandest act, and by which the heart of each individual believer may be reminded of his dearest friend.

You who rejoice in the salvation purchased by His dying, will not fail with gratitude and faith to show the Lord's death until He come.”
