An exhortation to the Sacrament. Luke 14th Ch. Verse 18th. They all with one consent began to make excuse. In the parable from which these words are taken, the dispensation of the Gospel, offered to the Jens, is aptly represented under the similitude of an entertainment, to partake of which, chosen guests were invited, and when it was prepared, and their company expected, they sent in their several excuses. - At the time they should have attended, they were employed in very different pursuits. - In consequence of their refusal, those were bidden who were more likely to embrace the offer-"the poor, the maimed, the halt, "and the Blind."-Because the Jews, to whom the blessings of the Gospel were first tendered, thought "themselves unnorthy of everlasting life"-lo! says the author of the apostolic acts, "we turn to the Gentiles" -signifying that the Gentiles-All the other nations upon earth-should be admitted to a participation of them.
