For many years, whether at home or abroad, it was Mr. Spurgeon’s constant custom to observe the ordinance of the Lord’s supper every Sabbath-day, unless illness prevented.
多年以来，无论在国内还是在海外，司布真先生（Mr. Spurgeon）一直有一个固定的习惯：除非因疾病受阻，他每个安息日都遵守主的晚餐这一圣礼。

This he believed to be in accordance with apostolic precedent;
他相信这样行是符合使徒时代的先例；

and it was his oft-repeated testimony that the more frequently he obeyed his Lord’s command, “This do in remembrance of Me,”
并且他屡次见证说，他越频繁地顺服他主的命令——“你们应当如此行，为的是记念我”，

the more precious did his Saviour become to him,
他的救主在他心中就越发宝贵，

while the memorial celebration itself proved increasingly helpful and instructive as the years rolled by.
而这纪念性的圣礼本身，也随着岁月的流逝，显得愈加有益且富于教导。

Several of the discourses here published were delivered to thousands of communicants in the Metropolitan Tabernacle,
此处所出版的若干篇讲论，是向大都会会幕（Metropolitan Tabernacle）中成千上万领受圣餐的信徒所宣讲的，

while others were addressed to the little companies of Christians,–of different denominations, and of various nationalities,–
而另一些则是对一些小规模的基督徒群体所讲的——这些人来自不同的宗派，也有不同的国籍——

who gathered around the communion table in Mr. Spurgeon’s sitting-room at Mentone.
他们曾聚集在司布真先生位于芒通（Mentone）的起居室里，围绕着圣餐桌。

The addresses cover a wide range of subjects;
这些讲论涵盖了广泛的主题；

but all of them speak more or less fully of the great atoning sacrifice
但它们无一不或多或少地论及那伟大的赎罪祭，

of which the broken bread and the filled cup are the simple yet significant symbols.
而擘开的饼与盛满的杯，正是这一赎罪祭朴素却意义深远的象征。

Mr. Spurgeon’s had intended to publish a selection of his Communion Addresses;
司布真先生原本有意出版他若干篇圣餐讲论的选集；

so this volume may be regarded as another of the precious literary legacies bequeathed by him
因此，本书可被视为他留给弟兄姊妹的又一份宝贵文学遗产，

to his brethren and sisters in Christ who have yet to tarry a while here below.
留给那些仍要在世上暂居片刻、在基督里的弟兄姊妹。

It is hoped that these sermonettes will be the means of deepening the spiritual life of many believers,
但愿这些短讲章能成为加深许多信徒属灵生命的途径，

and that they will suggest suitable themes for meditation and discourse
并且能为那些有幸、也有责任主持圣礼的人，

to those who have the privilege and responsibility of presiding at the ordinance.
提供适合默想与讲论的主题。
