T h e l a m p b u r n s v e r y l o w in y o u r s a n c t u a r y, t he mem bers worshipin g are few, a n d zeal is al toget her dead . Do not desert the c h urc h, do not f lee away from her in the time of her necessity . Keep to your post, come what may . Be the last man to leave the sin king vessel, if sink she must. Resolve as a friend of Christ to love him at all times, and as a brother born into that church, feel that now, beyond all other times, in the season of adversity, you must adhere to her.
