Wraps. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Offered is a first edition, first printing of "The True Christian Communion" (Tract No. 154) published in 1886 by The Tract Association of Friends out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A leaflet measuring 4-5/8" by 7-3/4" and containing eight pages including front and rear covers. Published out of No. 304 Arch Street, the tract begins: "The communion of the body and blood of Christ is a mystery hid from men in the first or fallen and degenerate state, which they cannot understand nor comprehend, as they there abide, neither can they be participators of it, nor yet are they able to discern the Lord's body. Hence the outward supper was not instituted as an ordinance by our Lord, who was and is himself the bread and water of life." Condition: it appears that a rectangular object once rested on the tract, and the front cover shows light narrow age-marks from its perimeter; otherwise and overall the tract is in excellent condition.

In 1909 it was adopted by the Tract Association of Friends for the Juvenile series in the hope that it may prove helpful in leading the youthful mind to an acquaintance with our Christian testimonies."
