COMMUNION SERVICE

Elder T. L. Webb, Sr. (deceased) - From the book "Little Things"

The communion meeting at El Dorado, Ark., last Sunday was surely one of the heavenly places in Christ. It was the first communion and feet washing service ever observed at this place [This was the first time communion was observed in the new building.], and some present who had never witnessed this kind of service before said it was not what they expected to find. A glorious, heavenly solemnity seemed to overwhelm the entire congregation from the very beginning and as the saints, in tears of rejoicing and humbleness, bowed down and washed each other's feet as the Saviour commanded, many of the humble lovers of truth on the outside of the church broke down in tears of rejoicing under the mighty power of God. I do not think I ever witnessed a greater demonstration of love and sweet fellowship in a meeting. The dear sister that I baptized Sunday morning, who also had the privilege of being in the communion service and to eat and drink at the Lord's table in His kingdom, felt that this day in the dear Master's service would never be forgotten, as she, with rejoicing, expressed it.
