Section LXXXI

The Spread of the Truth

Happy would it be, if every member of every communion, should from the first feel himself charged with a part of the great duty of extending the means of salvation in all the region around him, by the founding or sustaining of new churches. Your eye should be kept on this. You may render help by counsels and plans, by contribution, and, in some circumstances, by personally casting up your lot with struggling brethren. Large ch arches should aid those which are small Some congregations ar6 far too large. CoJ onies from these at well-chosen junctures, may be, to small undertakings, as life from the dead. Think seriously on the delightful retrospect, of a church established by yourselves and others having thrown your services into the work at the critical moment.
