CHURCH -HOPPERS
By the way, looking round here, I think I know some of the persons present who
belong to neighbouring chapels. What business have you here? Why did you leave
your own minister? If I see one come into my place from the congregation of another
brother in the ministry, I would like to give him just a flea in his ear such as he may
never forget. What business have you to leave your minister? If everyone were to do
so, how discouraged the poor man would be. Just because somebody happens to come
into this neighbourhood, you will be leaving your seats. A compliment to me, you say.
I thank you for it; but now, in return, let me give you this advice: those who are going
from place to place are of no use to anybody. 537.610
To be driven from church to church, as some are, is a wretched business. To be like
others, changing their views as often as the moon; happy nowhere, miserable
everywhere, agreeing with nobody, not even with themselves, is a poor business. 2064.36
