Missing at the Prayer Meeting.

Ah! and who missed me there? My Saviour, my pastor, and my brethren and sisters in Christ.
And what did they miss? They missed my figure in its usual place, my voice in the sacred song, and the voice of my heart in prayer.
And what did I miss by my absence? I missed the blessing of God, the approbation of my conscience, and the love of Christ's friends.
And why was I missing at the prayer-meeting? I forgot the hour, and was too far away in body and heart to reach there.
My dear reader, if we love the communion of the saints, if we love the souls of sinners, if we love our own souls, let us never be missing at the prayer-meeting again.
