A. Surely that's capital, your minister new.
er expects TO be left alone. But want
know how all this was brought about!
B. Pl tell you; We have an excellent
minister. He told US we must act from
principle, and not be governed so much by
circumstances, and should always come to
meeting, If on the weekday We would
come there for fifty cents. And another
thing, he sets us the example, and in all the
:wcnty years he has been with us, he has
never let the pulpit be empty, because it
was cloudy or cold or, if he felt little I'm.
we'll, and do not know as h. ever had
what some call the Sabbath day sickness,
ard We as much expect TO see our ourmin-
iser present, as we do any thing in the
world and having had such advice and
good examples from him so long, we feel
their effects; and we think lf our minister
can 90, We can; and if it is his duty to
preach, it is our 'uty TO hear and all day
too,-our minister is always there in the
forenoon, and we have but few afternoon
folks. How was it with your people last
Sabbath?
A. Hem-I cannot tell exactly ; felt un.
we'll, Gid not get out until afternoon it was
so very cold.
r To tell you the truth, friend A., there
is something COLI besides the weather, that
makes empty pews and thin meeting houses.
There are cold hearts, and sad want OF
inclination in this thing, and lack ofsym-
patty for your minister, who comes with a
message for you, but you are not there to
receive ii, and his soul is panied at your
neglect. Had it been known last Sabbath
by yonr people that all who should attend
meeting halfthe day should receive twenty
FIVE cents, think those pews would not
have been empty. and that the feeble
h"allh of my friend A., who appears so
well to day, would not have kept him at
home in the forenoon. Empty pews gen.
orally. should be considered as telling more
abou: the s'ate of the heart, than about the
weather. | pray you look at the subject.
