"An Earnest Exhortation to a Frequent Reception of the Holy Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper" by an unnamed Layman is a religious tract likely written in the early 19th century. This work focuses on encouraging Christians, particularly young people, to partake in the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper frequently, emphasizing its importance in the Christian faith as a commandment of Jesus. The book aims to address common objections and hesitations young
individuals may have towards participating in this sacred ritual. In this tract, the author respectfully engages a dear friend, highlighting the necessity and profound benefits of regularly receiving the Holy Communion. He argues that neglect of the sacrament leads to spiritual dangers and encourages readers to overcome feelings of unworthiness that might deter them from attending. The author underscores that the sacrament is a means of grace, essential for personal growth and strengthening one’s faith, urging readers that even those who feel they are great sinners should not shy away from this holy ordinance. He closes with a powerful appeal, reinforcing that participation not only fulfills Christ’s command but also leads to much comfort and eternal joy for believers.
