The procession of the host, the elevation of the host, the laying of the wafer on the tongue, the solemn injunctions against spitting for a certain time after receiving it, are no valid arguments against the Lord's Supper, and no Christian is led by them to disregard the words of the Lord Jesus, "This do in remembrance of me." Much of the practical benefit of the Supper comes through the feelings which it awakens, the conduct which it promotes.

So with infant baptism.

The child must be truly consecrated to God, beforehand, and afterwards; and the ordinance must be used as a sign and seal on our part, as it is on the part of God,--an act and testimony, a memorial, a vow.

Hannah lent her child to the Lord from the beginning, and then brought him to the temple, with her offerings.

We must take the child from baptism as though God had placed it a second time in our hands, to be trained up for him.
But, still, the ordinance is God's, and not man's.
