2.
NEVERTHELESS, although the Manna on six successive days fell within the reach of all, those only who had gathered and stored it on the sixth day of toil, possesssed it on the final day of rest.
On that seventh day, any who had it not already laid up could not find it, though they might seek it carefully with tears.
Some who thus sought and found it not, were reproved; and the fault was laid to their own charge.
We Christians in the Sacrament of Christ's Most Blessed Body and Blood, enjoy access to the True Bread from heaven; and to us our loving Lord has said: "This do in remembrance of Me." If in our present day of discipline we neglect thus to lay up Christ in our hearts, and so despise our birthright; on what plea can we lay claim to our blessing, even indissoluble union with Christ, in the day of blessing?
