99. Breaking of Bread

“M. J.” It is, in our judgment, quite contrary to the mind of Christ for females to meet for the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, without a brother. 1 Corinthians 11:1,12¹Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1)
¹²For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. (1 Corinthians 11:12), seems to render the presence of a man essential to the integrity of the ordinance. But then we merely give our judgment in the matter. Let everyone be fully persuaded in his own mind.
