Let us value all divine ordinances and apostolic methods. He who has instituted the family has also ordained the congregation. True, He blesses every individual apart, and the lonely Christian will receive from the gracious Head of the Church all needful grace. But it is His will that, as a family, as a brotherhood, as an organised congregation in fellowship one with another and with the whole Church, we should worship, grow and labour, that thus we may continually give and receive, exercising the ministry of love, and receiving one another in the name of Christ.
