How It Died.

“DIED—in Laodicea, the Prayer-Meeting, aged one year. The health of this meeting was poor most of the year, and its life was despaired of. But a few anxious friends kept it alive, and sometimes it would so revive as to encourage them.

“Discouragement at last prevailed, and the prayer-meeting is dead. It died from neglect. Not a Christian was present when it died. Over forty were living within a mile of it, and not one was there.

“Had two only been there, its life might have been saved, for ‘where two are agreed,’ &c.

“Two-thirds of the forty might have been there, had they been so disposed; but they were not, and the prayer-meeting died.”
