A SMALL CONGREGATION.
The Rev. John Brown of Haddington, in a letter of paternal counsels and cautions to one of his pupils newly settled in a small congregation, wrote thus:—”I know the vanity of your heart, and that you will feel mortified that your congregation is very small in comparison with those of your brethren around you; but assure yourself, on the word of an old man, that when you come to give an account of them to the Lord Christ, at His judgment-seat, you will think you have enough.”
