Weekly Meetings

In fully organized congregations, there is usually a religious service during the week. The preparation for this costs your pastor a certain amount of solicitude and labour. Let not this be despised. No aid, which can be universally rendered, is more cheering to his heart than constant attendance at this meei ing. However it may be neglected and undervalued bj the majority of people, establish it as a rule, that you will bold up bis bands by your presence. You will there be sure to meet the more spiritual members of the church; you will extend the limits of Christian acquaintance, and will receive knowledge and edification. It is hardly needful to add, that every conscientious church-member will so order the arrangements of his family, hia visits, and his social recreations, as not to conflict with the regular meetings of th» church. The remarks just made are appl? cable, with slight qualification, to the weekly prayer-meeting.
